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

New thread Huns

Where did you see that?

Is it from things posted on here? I've seen rumours on fb that that's the way she's going.

Fitgirl, and what is wrong with being a bored housewife?

I'd be surprised with the support that highstreetbot has got from high up people in ariiix that salonbot would be made very welcome.

Or maybe they'd just have anyone!

Annie65 - absolutely nothing! I was one myself for a few years when my boys were little but this particular poster seems to think that being bored and at home makes you want to bring down the MLM industry

Oh bless her. She's a massive conspiracy theorist and TV/BW/MN is in her sights. She buzzes around like an annoying fly.

A bot I am aware of posted that exact list of questions and answers about FL that Moose posted on the last page. She is not an uber bot so the bit about Forever paying to be a teacher is definitely disingenuous in implying that she is employed by them to coach (which is how I read that section).

Saw my first ever FL stand at a country fair yesterday. It was in an area with genuine craft businesses and nicely laid out so, if you didn't know, I think you wouldn't realise it is MLM not a sole trader (there were also Alana's brownies from the apprentice but I don't think they are mlm? And they were advertising the apprentice link so clear they weren't a local company). Anyway, FL lady was making some sales but if you looked closely she didn't seem quite as professionally set up as the other traders ie: the products are quite pricey but she only took cash where the other stalls with expensive products were using PayPal card readers and she seemed overly keen to offer to deliver even quite a distance whereas the others were clear about the local area they could deliver in.

I woman I know has recently started Younique.
She made a video yesterday and posted it on facebook and she said that one of the reasons she loves Younique is because it has a foundation for women who are victims of sexual abuse. Is that true.
She also has been using her 10 year DD as he model.

Fitgirl, no longer am a bored housewife, am a very harrased nannie, my Grandkids have got up now lol. Thank god for cars2 that I recorded on Friday in preparation for rainy days

gabsdot - Timeless Vie has a lot of info about the Younique charity.
Annie - your username suggests we may be the same age - no grandkids yet for me though 😀

Lets talk Xerveo.. are these reps stupid? I've really looked into this 100% legal company in the UK. Why would it be registered in companies house in a REPS name? No mention of the CEO anywhere. 'Apparently' also connected to someone who carries a drug conspiracy charge who distributed cocaine, heroin and money laundering! Right up Brokebot (or whichever bot name he has now) street! No reps are posting photos of legal product because they don't have any! LOL.. even the company website states there should be no social media sales (Policies SECTION 3 – 3 – 13). Alarm Bells???!! Yet they all #desiretoinspire and are having #limitlesssuccess ........ LMAO! Just spat my tea out.. oh sorry coffee

I do wonder about their tendency to ignore the facts ( or to not even do the tiniest bit of due diligence)

The valentusbot I know from School is now doing a new business that she can work alongside her mlm business (Valentus). She is being very mysterious about it, telling every1 there is no selling, no recruiting and its not a mlm, but asking people to join her. A quick snoop on the likes and comments she has had, they are all from salonbots team, and have all put exactly the same things on their facebooks. It seems as though they are all going into bitcoin. I will have to have another look into it as I couldn't get my head around it before. I think its a case of out of the frying pan ..........

Yes I've seen that Annie. Shame they're all copying a post that says this new amazing biz "can be ran aside" an existing one. Why do they copy and paste this shit and leave the horrendous grammar and spelling in it? Lots of pming hun going on and it's suddenly gone very quiet on the Valentus front apart from another group of Bots gloating over some apparent evidence that Xerveo isn't licenced. It's all go in Coffee Wars today! I note the Valentus crowd don't exactly speak highly of Flatbot.

Yes there was some kind of zoom call going on at 9.30pm. They are practically begging people to ask for the code so they can listen to it. Ffs people, please dont even go there. Words fail me, they really do.

The introduction on Salons website is making me giggle.

The Forverbot I occasionally check up on ehomleft has now definitely gone into Bitcoins.

She's had loads of comments on her posts and one person has challenged her saying you don't need to be told how to do this and to be aware of getting too many people as the market is due a crash. She pretty much laughed at him and said she has made thousands in the last couple of months.

She also has a link to the business where she promises no sign up fee but you have to invest a minimum of 50 euros and she then talks you through where to invest. She had a reply as someone had invested 100 euros and already banked 50 euros and they were pleased. I was just confused!

Can someone DM me who salonbot is please?

Why can't they post info and prices in public? One of my FB friends posted a picture of an shake and I asked what it was, someone I don't know said "I'll PM you" and sent me a long rambling message about a nutritional weight loss drink (still no prices given), other people asked and ask for the "I'll send you a PM". Why can't she just reply on the post?! I am tempted to put in the comments "why can't you just tell us here" and see what she says.

Cakie, bots are told not to show prices because different bots can offer different prices, due to their differing levels of commission. People with higher levels of commission can offer lower prices. They are told to keep prices secret to protect the lower bots.

In reality though, it is to stop people running a mile when they see the ridiculous prices.

Cakie - probably because you have to spend £90 on a month's worth of shakes and they don't want people to see that until they have been reeled in by the promise of massive weightloss and untold riches if you want to sign up and work your own biz.

Triple Words fail me, but not as badly as they're failing her.

Why do so many ex FL bots (including managers) still have business Facebook pages which haven't been updated since last year? Some of them also keep their online FL shops open. Is it to keep their uplines sweet, or not as sour? In many cases there's no mention of FL on their personal pages at all - especially if they have real businesses. Are they nervous about walking away from FL for good and slamming the door on their way out?

I've wondered that BS. I'm assuming they keep it open while they still have a few stragglers as downlines spending their money and creating some commission for those higher up. I bet it takes a few months for it all to dry up and then they can leave.

Yesterday was my "day off" for the week on Valentus, so I'm back on it today for the next week. (Total weight loss: about a lb or summat but Aunt Irma arrived on Monday so that would explain that). As I'm WFH (imagine that! A job that pays you to work from home! And you get a car! And foreign travel! 😱) I decided to make it more palatable by binding a mint chocolate options in it and a squirt of cream for good measure.

Let's see if I'm awake until past 1am again tonight... cheers!
