It would be ironic, wouldn't it @SSDGM...?

When will these companies stop playing fast & loose with regulatory compliance, and when will the law enforcement agencies finally clamp down on MLMs taking the piss in this way?

Toobusytowee · 23/09/2017 15:08

Rumplelipskin, I came accross Ariix when looking for non compliant products that I put on this post botwatch.blog/2017/09/20/product-warnings/

cozietoesie · 23/09/2017 15:19

Thanks for that, Toobusy. Let us know when/if you receive that 'clarification'?

Toobusytowee · 23/09/2017 15:32

Ariix have ignored my tweet. They took weeks to reply to me before. Maybe I should email them...

cozietoesie · 23/09/2017 15:35

All good for the paper trail. Wink

I'm at a food/drink/craft festival today- on the website it had listed Forever Living as having a stall there.

Is it wrong of me to be disappointed that they didn't show ... I was quite looking forward to a chat with a bot . I'm intrigued to see if they truly believe what they are told by ( and see of ) the top bots, to see if they are just naive or totally ruthless. I wondered if they'd be trying to recruit and wanted to see what their approach would be to total strangers.

But as I said they weren't there. Can't help but wonder if the organisers were contacted beforehand and told a few home truths about MLMs??

cozietoesie · 23/09/2017 16:19

If so..........Smile

SSDGM · 23/09/2017 16:31

Is CoffeeQueenLipBot taking the piss with her "I'm not bothered about money and social status" meme?

If not she really is completely lacking in any sort of self awareness.

cozietoesie · 23/09/2017 16:40

I hope that that means she's - permanently - giving her product away free? Wink

fitgirl26 · 23/09/2017 16:56

I love it when Bots post that sort of stuff. No other group of people are more fixated on showing off what they have (or are pretending to have) than MLM bots. Perhaps she should ask her partner the Coffee King to stop posting about taking £100K cars for a test drive.

fitgirl26 · 23/09/2017 17:07

Does anyone know what that stupid Vida #dontcry is all about? It’s incredibly irritating.

Toobusytowee · 23/09/2017 17:56

The #dontcry is aimed at rival MLMs and critics of them who are jealous of their amazing success. Even though one of them admitted on a live that he knows some of his team have had to spend every last penny and pawn stuff in order to be able to attend the conference in Orlando. The tickets cost $600 and they have to pay for their own flights and hotels.

cozietoesie · 23/09/2017 18:12

...spend every last penny and pawn stuff....??

SSDGM · 23/09/2017 18:21

Ok, new Vida skincare range announced. Contains Emu Oil.
Emu oil that they get from actual Emus. Emus they have to kill to get the fat to make it.

They can say bye bye to the Veggie and Vegan markets then...

clarinsgirl · 23/09/2017 18:48

M.Network is filling my FB feed at the moment. Lots of eeeking about a trip to Cabo (omitting to mention that only a shared room in hurricane season is included and flights, additional nights, food, transfers etc need to be paid for). 😩

Jonsey32 · 23/09/2017 20:32

Every valentus rep is going on about having an official launch date. Not one of them has mentioned what this date actually is.
Surely that's a key piece of info or is this just supposed to make it more exciting?!

TheRealBarnbot · 23/09/2017 20:33

OMG huns I have such exciting news from V camp straight from Florida summit!

Wait.... its so exciting!

We are FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY launching on November 1st in the UK!! Its totes official babes

BUT.......

You can't say anything yet as our head of registration hasn't actually been given the go ahead yet.

So we arent actually definately launching that day but we think we might be.

Lots of love

fitgirl26 · 23/09/2017 20:40

So all the eeeeking, the I’m so excited, the we’re on fire and general emoji splatting are about a date that may or may not happen?

ItsABitStormy · 23/09/2017 23:25

You’ve probably already seen but I’ve only just realised Valentus have a product specifically for dogs now Angry wtf!

TheRealBarnbot · 23/09/2017 23:29

And vida reps are banging on about their DSA membership ....... you know, the one they havent applied for or been given! Yea that one

clarinsgirl · 24/09/2017 07:39

Emu oil? Only a short step away from literally as well as figuratively selling snake oil..

OhOhDearling · 24/09/2017 07:57

Stormy - I checked out that link for the dog product, biggest pile of shite I've ever read.

ScarlettOH · 24/09/2017 08:27

Someone on my fb was posting about looking forward to a 'pamper night' with her friends for a big birthday last night... this morning she posts a link to this girls arbonne page. How sad. MLM for your birthday, I'd rather stay in and watch paint dry

SSDGM · 24/09/2017 11:01

Bottom of the Big Cheques given to Vida reps it states "career lifetime earnings". Them ain't no bonuses. My bot has "earned" $6000 USD. She's spent at least £5k That's nice for her.

Eddierussett · 24/09/2017 14:45

First person that I actually know rather than being aware of has responded to a Facebook recruitment advert asking for more info Sad. It is Usborne so at least the product isn't a load of crap but I just can't see the point. I can buy their books from the supermarket, chain bookstores, a nearby independent bookshop (actually supporting an independent local business!) and amazon. Of course she is a new, first time mum on maternity leave who I guess is thinking about not going back to her full time, professional job...
