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!

I got a hint of very common essex accent trying to sound all posh and well spoken.

I can also hear South African and Australian and New Zealand.

cozietoesie · 23/02/2018 00:44

It rather depends what friends you have. Smile

Whiterangey · 23/02/2018 01:26

I've found out where he was born, he's mentioned it in articles. He was born in Wales, he was also born in England. Being born in two separate countries might account for the strange accent.

He had 5 siblings. He was also one of 7 children. His maths skills are superior to my mine because I can't work that out.

cozietoesie · 23/02/2018 01:47

Neither can I........Wink

ArbunneHun · 23/02/2018 06:27

It’s probably fair to say that he has a tenuous grasp on the truth.

SerenSmith · 23/02/2018 07:51

I’ve just reported Masscryp to Action fraud. I tried to earn a friend last night but she reckons she’s done her “research” and is happy to go for it.

SerenSmith · 23/02/2018 07:52

Can’t seem to edit my post but I meant warn not earn lol.

Jonsey32 · 23/02/2018 08:32

Dear lord that live is horrific.
My favourite part was where he said that to be great you have to be persecuted....

fitgirl26 · 23/02/2018 08:37

Why do Bots always call their "I'm out of my company but I only ever cared about my downline" lives "THE TRUTH". Because really they're anything but ...

SSDGM · 23/02/2018 08:46

Vida still blocking and deleting comments left right and centre. Last night there was one from a woman saying all this fuss was wrecking her business and she wanted the whole post deleted. Looks like it’s putting people off joining their cult team.

SSDGM · 23/02/2018 08:47

Was there actually any “truth” in his live at all? I think I nodded off watching it last night. I’ll try again now. His “truth” was mostly him going on about his great he is and it was all lies. No admissions that he had cocked up anywhere.

SSDGM · 23/02/2018 08:58

OMG “THOSE WHO HAVE WRONGED ME”
😂😂😂😂

Spongebobette · 23/02/2018 10:37

Weird weird accent

Spongebobette · 23/02/2018 10:40

“Success is suicide”

Eh?

BSintolerant · 23/02/2018 11:48

He could always fake it 'til he makes it Sponge.

MotherFeeder · 23/02/2018 23:44

Thanks for the warm welcome.

I am clearly still a MLM novice with all the lingo... what is cryptoworld? And who is Vida?

starseeker · 24/02/2018 00:04

I'm so glad you asked that MotherFeeder, I thought it was just me!! Smile

ArbunneHun · 24/02/2018 07:02

We should provide a dictionary of MLM terms...

Vida is Vida Divina, a ghastly MLM based around products which are non-UK reg compliant (and therefore illegal to sell) and consist primarily of ‘slimming’ and ‘health’ teas & coffees. The UK no. 1 in Vida has just been terminated after years of horrific behaviour and he now thinks he’s Jesus.

ArbunneHun · 24/02/2018 07:04

Crypto-anything refers to the proliferation of crypto currency MLMs which are all dressed-up Ponzi schemes. They spring up like mushrooms and offer ridiculous guaranteed rates of return on your investment.

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 24/02/2018 08:18

Is there really yet another FL Success Day today??

It only seems 2 minutes since the last time bots had to dig deep in their own pockets to travel across the UK and whoop en masse.

I guess brain-washing needs regular top-ups for maximum effectiveness.

ArbunneHun · 24/02/2018 10:03

Tickets are £30 (not including transport, parking or food/drink), but if you are a Midlands FBO you can get a massive 6% reduction in your ticket price!!!!

Oh, and huns, don’t forget to bring prospects along to this 6 hour screeching brain-washing event in a soulless arena in Coventry!!!!

ArbunneHun · 24/02/2018 10:08

Genuinely concerned about the state of the Righteous Messiah terminated by Vida. His posts are increasingly unhinged and threatening.

I honestly think that you have to be a borderline sociopath to get to the top of an MLM company. You have to lie, cheat, bully, turn a blind eye to the harm you & others do, be prepared for o leave a trail of debt & ruined lives in your wake AND NOT GIVE A SHIT.

starseeker · 24/02/2018 10:21

Arbunne having literally just emerged from the Y fog in the last few months, I think you sum it up absolutely perfectly there. That's precisely what I realised and I'm so glad I never 'promoted' further than I did. November was the real eye opener for me. There were people buying their promotions left right and centre. I hate to think what their finances look like now!!! Shock

HipHipHippo · 24/02/2018 10:34

Hi all,
First time here and I'm finding all you have to say very interesting.
I hadn't come across any kind of MLM until last year. A new wife moved into camp and came knocking round the doors, she wanted to get to know everyone so was throwing a party. Great. Or so I thought. Turns out she just wanted to sell stuff...at bloody extortionate prices too!!
All this and that about bee pollen giving you soooo much energy.
I asked if any of the products were breastfeeding friendly. She said they were though reading this it sounds like she was probably lying...
Glad I didn't buy anything Grin

CheekySmile · 24/02/2018 12:09

I was at Theo Paphitis’ Small Business Sunday event yesterday, I won last year with my actual business. I did have to pay for myself to get there but the whole event was free, with food, drinks, advice, networking and truly inspirational speakers.

There’s been 2256 winners since he started SBS. Not one of them is MLM.
