MLM Botwatch 31 - A thread for people concerned that a friend or family member has disappeared into the world of MLM

[GavinFromTradingStandards]

New thread Huns

Registration for what? Even if they do become a registered company. That shit is still illegal to sell!

I predict a lot of weight loss coffee bots suddenly becoming 'experts' in the gold rush that is cryptocurrency.

(They're trying to shift the product on Amazon and eBay.)

Its all gone to shit since I left hahaha ;)

Huns! Daniiiii has done a new live!! Eeeeek!

barnbot you are definitely getting to them if they're taking down your lives. If you weren't speaking the truth they would just sue you and be fine with it, but the fact that you're telling the truth m SMS the only thing they can do to shut you up is report your lives. I suggest you do one and advertise the time you'll be doing it to get maximum views as you're live! Keep it up!

Love Dannis lives... I see a resemblance between her and a very sparkly Valentus bot. Just an observation of course.

Don't know WHAT u mean hun. Danniiiii is totally real and her own person (pershun?).

No resemblance to any personality, living or dead, is intended.

No animals were harmed in the making of this FB Live.

Valentus experiment update: day 2.

I was up until 2am last night fretting. I'm hoping that wasn't due to the single cup of coffee I had. I couldn't stop peeing. Up twice in the night. Standard at my age.

Woke up, had lost 1lb. Realised I had weighed myself yesterday with PJs on so probably didn't count.

No laxative effects as yet, but the stuff could still be proved an emetic as the bits I glugged down from the bottom of my mug this morning made me gip slightly.

Appetite suppressing qualities: I fancied a bag of revels so I ate them in the car. Not really working.

Will keep you up to date.

Loving your experiment SSDGM

Next stage, double blind clinical trial

Don't encourage her! If she drinks any more unlicensed coffee she probably will go blind...!

Spongebob I totally read that as 'double blind cynical trial'

Day 3.

Have lost 1/2lb.
Awful time getting to sleep again last night, mind was racing and I was fretting again. Could be unrelated, I have a deadline and some personal crap to deal with. I had drunk yesterday's cup at about 10.30 am. Going to try it earlier today. (Ugh).
Woke up at 4am starving, so still no appetite suppressant qualities yet.

Am I an scientist?

Extra news: left the almond milk out today and the taste of it black has a distinct whiff of ashtray. 😫

Argh! Trying to screen shot something to see if you all read it the same way as I do but phone doesn't have any space.
Anyone want to have a look for me? (FL related)

I am enjoying this real time scientific reporting!

I can look gotobed let me know what you want screenshot

I've had a huge amount of entertainment over the past few months from the FB lives of Salon Bot and her V team,but the events of the past few days really hit home this morning when I saw one of the bots (can't say where as it may out me). She's not a friend as such,but an acquaintance I see a couple of times a week: she's never mentioned the coffee to me personally but I do know mutual friends who've bought it. Suffice to say they're on WW or boot camp now so it clearly didn't work..
Said bot looked awful this morning,her FB has gone quiet over the last few days,so the penny has clearly dropped. She's always been a really upbeat and positive person,and I can see she looks devastated; she even has her car plastered in weight loss coffee advertising. I'm hoping she hasn't lost a lot of money,as she really is a lovely person who's been completely duped by Salon Bot.How the people at the top of these MLMs can do this and walk away is beyond me.

Forever living next ?

Forever living are a legal solid company. You may not like them but they are 100% legit.

But are they 'sound'?

How do you view their ethics?

I think all companies need to hold some level of accountability for the way leaders coach and treat individuals. Too much manipulative and intimidating tactics within certain teams. I realise now how lucky I was but unfortunately its becoming more and more apparent many aren't so lucky. :( genuinely saddens me and angers me at once! Putting that aside all legal documentation, licences, approvals etc aree dealt with by flp immediately bare in mind we were never able to pre sell a product before compliant labelling was in place and flp have different product ranges in different countries for this reason. I personally never had reason for concern and never felt the company let me down. But thats not to say others have the same opinion.

Anyone with any experience of Nikken? Wellness products- magnets, water filtration and supplements. Very expensive. Friend involved- seems to believe it but also seems to believe she will get very wealthy doing this. Horrible and feel like I want her to fail- which is what the mlm message is I guess. Just wondering if anyone knows of them.

It seems that you had a 'nice' upline and are judging the whole company by that?

Leaving aside legality, surely part of the measure of any company is how they accommodate/facilitate those who aren't so 'nice' ? I'm not sure that the company does at all well on those grounds - as you've admitted yourself.

I have enormous respect for the way you've dealt with .......certain other organisations but I'm deeply concerned about this residual .......tension.

I can only speak from experience. Dont mistake my personal gratitude for what I took away from my 3 years in MLM for "sticking up for anyone". I am choosing to speak up to highlight this in the hope ALL companies start to deal with these problems instead of allowing the 2 rule books policy to continue. You have to appreciate also I know many honest ethical people within the industry who work just like I did too! Not all are money hungry greedy bastards x
