Any chance some of you lovely bot-watchers could pop over to this thread
www.mumsnet.com/Talk/freelancers/3043430-anyone-work-for-usborne-books

As there's a woman arguing that no of course Usborne isn't MLM and of course you can make a grand a month. (Personally I think Usborne is not as bad as some MLMs but still. It's an MLM)

My daughter's gymnastics coach has now started Herbalife. I knew a mutual friend was a mega bot but don't know how I will control myself there. She is already talking on Facebook about spreading the word.
The friend previously tried to give the children Herbalife bars for training. I will not be happy if their coach does this now.

GoldenKelpie · 30/09/2017 16:36

I have posted a link on there toobusy it got passed and is now available to view.

I've lost a friend to some diet coffee shit. She needs to lose three stone by Feb so is on a coffee in the morning, one at lunch and a healthy dinner.

She keeps hashtagging #coffeebabe #healthyeatingfamily#packedfullofgoodness with every cup of fucking coffee.

Not sure who the company is? People have asked and it's the standard "inbox me Hun" reply.

I'm assuming it's filled with a laxative of some sort! She's "super happy" has she's lost 7lb in a week and people are commenting to see how they can do it.

cozietoesie · 30/09/2017 17:02

Sorry. Is that her entire intake?

Brittbugs80 · 30/09/2017 19:16

Sorry. Is that her entire intake?

On this coffee diet it is. But it's ok, her spaghetti Bolognese was packed with 3 different veg today.

I've no idea what is in these diet coffees. She has to have two a day then a healthy dinner and unlimited water.

Toobusytowee · 30/09/2017 21:43

Brittbugs, I think you are going to have to inbox her to get some info for us. I haven't come across this MLM before. It needs exposing.

Thank you goldenklpie.

PerryPerryThePlatypus · 30/09/2017 21:53

That sounds like a similar diet that was being promoted by a Vida bot on my fb. Now shes pretending to have certain medical conditions and giving testimonials which are not health claims which they totally are .

Brittbugs80 · 30/09/2017 22:00

It's called Skinny Coffee Club and they all seem to use #skinnycoffeebabes

MrsGotobed · 30/09/2017 22:20

A couple of coffees a day and one solitary healthy meal and you lose weight?

No shit Sherlock!

cozietoesie · 30/09/2017 23:11

Plus lots of water, remember. Wink

Brittbugs80 · 01/10/2017 07:54

There is 6 calories per coffee.

So 12 calories in drinks and whatever low calorie meal you eat on the evening.

Yep. I can see how it's the coffee working Hmm

I genuinely don't get how people see this is healthy?!?!

PerryPerryThePlatypus · 01/10/2017 11:48

Your body would struggle with basic functions on that little amount.

fitgirl26 · 01/10/2017 12:47

You would lose weight eating one low calorie meal a day and drinking Nescafé! These diets ruin metabolism so when they return to normal eating the weight goes back on faster than you can say bossbabe.

cozietoesie · 01/10/2017 15:10

I still want to know what these non-soluble ‘white bits’ are.........

fitgirl26 · 01/10/2017 18:57

Valentus Bots - project30. Eeeeek eeeeek eeeeeek we’re on fire 🔥🔥🔥 eeeeeeek eeeeeek so excited 😁🙌🏻🤞🏻👍🏻 eeeeeeeeek eeeeeeek it’s going to be HUUUUUUGE eeeeek eeeeek.....
Do they not know how stupid they all look?

Whiterangey · 01/10/2017 20:00

Project30 must be the 30th attempt at registration. It will be project31 next.

MrsGotobed · 01/10/2017 20:33

Is anyone up to date with what's happening in BrokeStokeFlatBot's world.

Just looked at his page for the first time in ages and there's a very cryptic post reeling you in about "making decisions for him" blah-de-blah....

Prior to that there were posts about lip-plumping gloss, life insurance and coffee. Has he got his finger in every pie around?

miffytherabbit1974 · 01/10/2017 20:36

Apologies if this has already been brought up. Top Valentus Bot with a Salon has just announced on a FB Live that Dodgy Coffee is now registered and legal to sell in the UK. In the chat below the Live, she then seems to completely contradict herself by stating that it was never illegal or unregistered in the first place? She really does seem confused. But not confused enough to stop receiving residuals from her brainwashed down-lines.

MrsGotobed · 01/10/2017 20:42

And while I'm at it, I've also been catching up with pics from the Valentus jolly.

For a weightloss coffee there are an awful lot of overweight reps Hmm

Toobusytowee · 01/10/2017 22:14

Oh, Skinny Coffee Club! Yes, I've come across them before via the ASA. I follow their rulings (boring, I know!) and they got in trouble earlier this year for breaking advertising rules.

www.asa.org.uk/non-compliant/skinny-coffee-club-ltd.html

I didn't think they were MLM though. Are they?

rayofhope2 · 02/10/2017 08:25

Barnbot how come some of the top ones in Forever aren't on the EMR?

JaniceBattersby · 02/10/2017 13:15

Two of my bots have done FB lives today asking people to sponsor a 'positive pack' for ladies undergoing chemo.

I rarely get angry but I am absolutely incensed by this. If Forever gave such a shit about people with cancer they'd give them their shite products for free. It's a despicable way to sell their stuff. I'm pretty disgusted with my two bots today. I've seen them as a bit naive until now but surely they can see through this crap?

Jonsey32 · 02/10/2017 16:39

Yep, I've seen this off someone today. Her mum dies of cancer and she's spinning that too. She's a very religious woman and I think that makes it even worse to me.
I'm not sure that they see anything wrong in wheat they're doing. They honestly Junk it's a lovely charity thing to do.
Honestly , her live made me a bit sick in my nought.
