MLM Bot Watch 36 - Those who think it's ok to tell white lies soon become colourblind

36 Lies to reel you in...

  1. They will tell you that you will have time freedom in this business. Two weeks later they will tell you the business won't work unless you do.

When it's a business event they will not accept excuses for you missing it and will set an example by missing their child's first birthday or telling you a story of how they once shit themselves in white trousers on the front row at success day because they were poorly but didn't want to miss it.... You will know quickly that the unspoken rules is 'no excuses on success day's.

Please add your own below!

It’s a safe bet to say that whatever Million$ does, he’ll be rigging an already corrupt system to profit from his blinkered followers.

Vile, vile man

Everything about him rings as false as his accent.

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 15/03/2018 21:37

Isn't it funny how everything that has a strong allegiance or connection to MLMs is slightly dodgy or is uncovered as not quite what it seemed.

In the local Worcestershire paper there was a seemingly innocent article about a facebook page called Worcestershire Women's Society, (a local networking/friendship/support page for women) and it's founder.

Well, it's all kicked off with around 50 comments on the newspaper website article - allegations of bullying /cyber-bullying, bitchiness, posts getting deleted on the fb page by the founder if she doesn't like what you say, people being banned, etc.

Here's the MLM bit .....the founder is a make-up "business owner" (or as one comment after the article puts it "A £79 starter kit for a rip off mlm business does not make you a make up consultant"), the group is rife with MLM reps. One of the comments after the article says:

"Also, whilst MLM business works for some, there are equally as many people (particularly vulnerable new mums) who are exploited by these schemes. You are not even allowed to discuss this on the page as you get told off by Helen and about 100 younique "presenters" for breeding negativity and being jealous of their success. (Have any of you actually obtained that amazing company car or a free holiday ? )"

Oh, and the best bit, guess who one of the founders facebook friends is (on the founders private facebook as well as the group page) ... yep .....our favourite anti-bullying bot.

PS . Meant to add ...Networking Mummies, you may want to take note.

BangingOn · 15/03/2018 21:59

What is Messiah’s accent? “Corporate” is his new buzz word, which is quite amusing as I thought corporate was associated with JOBs.

Yawn............I am off to watch Bullseye as I totally loved Jim Bowen XX

sshuga · 15/03/2018 23:53

@toobusy I hate to say it, but I fear twentytwenty’s OH may have been more motivated by the exposure to new people afforded by a part time JOB. I know my ex was considering getting a part time job and explicitly said it was for the ability to meet and be around more people. Though he didn’t come right out and say he was looking to find new prospects there was something about his demeanor that told me. I could practically see the wheels turning when his thoughts were consumed with his “business”.

cozietoesie · 16/03/2018 00:30

Fingers crossed, eh?

Norma27 · 16/03/2018 06:13

Worcestershire womens society is a closed group now. Was it open before?
Sounds like the group which ran its own awards last years or year before. There was lots of discussion on here about it. Uber bot was involved too.

If I remember correctly yawn was hoping to get enough votes for an award. Instead they made up something random she could be presented with on the night!

Twentytwentyhindsight · 16/03/2018 06:54

@Cozie & sshuga. Yes, fingers crossed. I have some hope this may be more than a "prospecting exercise", as it is teaching a leisure activity she really enjoys, and she is getting quite a lot of work for not bad pay- if there was something that might slowly release the cold dead grip of MLM, this could be it.
However sshuga's comment has cast some doubts, as it is true that she will be meeting a lot of people, and even if it was not the primary purpose, the temptation to use this as a platform to revive the "business" she recognises as flagging might take over. That would be a real shame.
Perhaps it may depend on whether the place she works has a policy forbidding "extracurricular" activities, I don't think she'd want to jeopardise the new found real income, at least for now, but I know how powerful the draw has proved in the past...

ArbunneHun · 16/03/2018 07:04

Well well well. Just stumbled upon a WigNSleaze live from last night. They are now working with the enormous Canadian ex-con who recruited Broke into Valentus, back in the day.

Worth a listen, ignore the usual crypto-ponzi-bollocks, focus on Sleaze admitting he was crying down the phone to Ex-Con, broke, going nowhere... just before Christmas.

Hmmm. That’s very different to the image he & Wig were projecting on FB at the time.

dropdeadfitty · 16/03/2018 07:30

Would someone be able to pm me wignsleaze's info - to add to my bot watch list?

SSDGM · 16/03/2018 08:06

There were 3 lives last night including those two and I literally do not have the stomach to watch them. I can’t do it.

Add to that an approach on LinkedIn from an Arbonne bot who, to my succinct reply of “no. I am absolutely not interested in any sort of MLM opportunity” has asked me if I’ve had a “bad experience”.

Where. Do. I. Fucking. Start?

Whiterangey · 16/03/2018 09:00

How much alcohol does it take to watch a wig'n'sleaze live?

I'm rather shocked he admitted they were broke before Christmas, their 84 streams of income, including GCC must all be broken, or scams, or whatever.

I'm shocked.

Spongebobette · 16/03/2018 09:09

Wasn’t that when they were ‘moving fast and intentional’?

🤣🤣🤣🤣

dropdeadfitty · 16/03/2018 09:13

Wouldn't mind watching the lives if someone can help me out with a link? Please pm me if you dont want to post on thread. Many thanks

CurlsandCurves · 16/03/2018 10:26

I don’t get how Messiah has developed a whole product range in the space of about a fortnight. Product development takes months alone, even if he had a company on standby to produce it for him. Focus groups to check it out, yep, all sorted and done in a matter of days it seems. Approval for resale which other mlms have struggled for months to get, he has just clicked his fingers and it’s done....

Hmmmmm.....

ArbunneHun · 16/03/2018 11:29

It’s all such utter shit, isn’t it?

MLM 1: this is the one! Never been so excited! Earning £££! Fri-Pay! Eeeeeeek! Unstoppable! Watch us or join us!

MLM 2: actually, MLM 1 was a bit rubbish and I was broke/bullied/lied to/product was illegal. But this MLM is totally brilliant, JOIN ME!

MLM 3, 4, 5 etc: repeat as above, ad infinitum

BangingOn · 16/03/2018 11:33

I thought the same Curls.

fitgirl26 · 16/03/2018 12:55

@ArbunneHun - I was just looking at Broke's Ex's page and thinking the same thing. She frantically flogs her latest Scam, goes quiet as it inevitably goes tits up and then pops up with another one.

ArbunneHun · 16/03/2018 13:36

And yet people still want to believe that this scam will be the One True MLM that will finally make them happy & rich x

Twentytwentyhindsight · 16/03/2018 14:06

@Arbunne - not sure that it's any worse than desperately plugging away at the same one for years...

Twentytwentyhindsight · 16/03/2018 14:08

At least it shows they're in thrall merely to the ridiculous "business model", rather than both that and a particular company.

Twentytwentyhindsight · 16/03/2018 15:06

Speaking of broke, he's thinking of tying the knot- wonder if he can sort himself out a decent honeymoon, now that he's a proper travel agent with a certificate an' all. Could be the first booking for his biznis!
