The 50 page contracts that the bots sign up to almost always include a clause that can be used against them to terminate them. 'Bringing the company into disrepute' 'promoting a competitor' 'poaching' whatever. It's subjective & can be used to not pay bonuses, commissions or incentives owed.

'Business owner' my arse. You have no rights. They can change the deal at any point & they have all the power.

I'm surprised that the "top" rep earns only £800 a week! Yes a good income at around £42k, presumably pre tax as they all pay tax and NI right?! But not exactly enough to maintain her lifestyle portrayed on FB (having a rich hubby helps I guess).... and shocked that the ones who rely on MLM (self-employed) income to "feed their kids"'don't have any reserves for this.

I have found out one of my DPs workmates (building industry) is the partner of a boy... her fb is something else - however he is always skint and drives a rust bucket of a car and they live in a rented house on in one of the cheapest local places to live!

Also, anyone able to enlighten me what a "box" job is? Does it mean a real job as opposed to a "non" job like MLM?!

Cakietea · 12/08/2017 11:16

*Partner of a bot!! Not a boy obviously Grin

fitgirl26 · 12/08/2017 11:17

@ArbunneHun - yes I've tried to get my head around GCC and failed miserably. Not helped by the nausea induced by those awful motivational pictures of Sleezebot and his big haired sidekick. One of the brothers involved in LTW and Coinspace now seems to be promoting a bitcoin based Ponzi called Trade Coin. Same old same old I guess...

fitgirl26 · 12/08/2017 11:26

Just reading some of the comments on the video that @rosesandcashmere posted - there's a bunch of American It Works Bots who have got all steamed up. I notice one of them is thanking God for her MLM opportunity. And on the 8th Day God created a load of scammy companies that rip people off and verily he was satisfied. Go forth and multiply Huns!

Cakietea · 12/08/2017 11:26

Hmmm sleazebot and sleazebotshaggerbot appear to have quite a few requests for info from residents of Nigeria. I can't for the life of me work out what the actual business is.... maybe I will request a PM!

ArbunneHun · 12/08/2017 11:31

@fitgirl26 it's dead simple hun. It's about the future of payments, crypto, saving the world & 3D printing hun. And recruiting a team.

Honestly, it's OBVIOUS if you think about it. Don't be a sheep & believe the media though! GCC is the future, open your eyes hun!!!!

fitgirl26 · 12/08/2017 11:33

Oh god I'm going to have to look at Sleazebot's page aren't I. Hold the sick bag...

fitgirl26 · 12/08/2017 11:34

NOPE - the cover photo alone is too much to cope with...

GavinFromTradingStandards · 12/08/2017 12:04

Salon has changed her surname but still no posts reassuring her team that all is well...

Some heavily filltered photos taken at Salonbot's reception on a Valentus Bot page. I love it when people filter their photos so much that they actually remove their jaw lines Grin

ArbunneHun · 12/08/2017 12:47

Don't look @fitgirl26 ! The photos... the photos... SAVE YOURSELF HUN!!!!

pigeondujour · 12/08/2017 12:57

Does someone have a list of these bots they would be willing to PM? I have browbot because of the hairdryer debacle and the stoke guy but it sounds like they all fit round salonbot who I can't work out! Becoming obsessed with these as someone I know has made some quite drastic lifestyle changes to become a bot Confused

SoosanCarter · 12/08/2017 13:20

Me too please, for a list!

TrippleFlappyDiamondSparrow · 12/08/2017 13:21

Those bridesmaid dresses look bloody awful. I know I sound like a bitch!

rosesandcashmere · 12/08/2017 13:28

@curlsandcurves I think FL can be a bit lawyer happy...

SSDGM · 12/08/2017 13:50

God forbid any of her bridesmaids would upstage the Überbot!

I just noticed one of Salon's cronies got her Diamond Level Range Rover last week. I hope she can manage the rest of the payments cos I don't think Valentus will be paying for it for much longer...

CurlsandCurves · 12/08/2017 14:06

Where can I see the photos,can someone pm me the bot whose page they are on please?

Oh and what's Salonbot new surname? Wonder if she'll unblock me....

BethanyBarleywater · 12/08/2017 14:09

Can someone pm me the Valentus page with the photos? Birkenhead bot is alive and well and apparently spent £500 last night at his brothers wedding.

SSDGM · 12/08/2017 14:17

He's not made that public then, you must be one of the lucky 5000 he chooses to be friends with!

I work that out at £50 on pints of Carling and the rest on a lap dance afterwards.

fitgirl26 · 12/08/2017 14:19

BradfordBot's put another Live up. God she goes on and on and on. And on and on. Why take a couple of minutes to say something when you can drone on for quarter of an hour...

Cakietea · 12/08/2017 15:22

Please can I have a pm too with the botwedding pics? I do like a good filter!

Penelopepyramid · 12/08/2017 15:38

I'm Northern (Newcastle) but Bradfordbot has got possibly the most teeth-grinding voice ever heard. It's like listening to Hilda Ogden on full pelt.

worcestersauce29 · 12/08/2017 15:59

I'd love a pm list too...........there are way too many fl bots in my area, one lives so close its scary (although she isn't a super bot, just a senior manager who has featured in a fl newsletter)her hub is involved too!!

Cakietea · 12/08/2017 16:07

Omg is that Salonbot's mother in a white lace dress at her daughter's wedding Grin priceless
