MLM Bot Watch 37 - Planes, Trainings and Automobiles

[Whiterangey]

Brand new thread for a brand new month.

In which this years bonus cheques will be revealed, which is my favourite time of year.

So what are Messiahbot's disciples to do between now and the September raptures?
More importantly, how do they fill his coffers during this long crossing of the wilderness?
Will they be able to buy a "lock-in" to the anointed inner circle during pre-launch or buy vast quantities of tatty merchandise to be fully kitted out for the great day?

I watched the video. That was awful. 3 products. How will the bossbabes make millions out of that load of old shit?
He’s a wannabe cult leader, that one.

That is a great question @Twentytwentyhindsight. That is a long time for bots to go without participating in an MLM. A game changer, or a compensation plan that is so amazing it's never been seen before may come along before then.

How will they be able to resist if an MLM with 5 ways to get paid falls into their laps?

I'm sure he mentioned something about having leaders already lined up. If I was a scammy bastard i'd already have the 'best' MLMers lined up at the top of my pyramid. People like Salon, if trading standards (TS) are done with her by pre launch I wouldn't be surprised if she was one of the 'leaders'.

And yawn is poorly (again) after completing the wonder that is c9!

The Messiah has posted the launch video to his page and it’s been there nearly 24 hrs - 2 shares and 17 likes.

What’s the story on Mrs Messiah? Was she a bot in her own right previously or is this all new to her? I wasn’t sure whether she was just very nervous in the Live or wondering WTF she had got herself into- or both.

Also cracking up at Broke- “they even give you an expense account like a Real company”... surely he’s not admitting that MLMs aren’t legit employers?

Interesting changes in the travel/package holiday industry announced today. New rules coming into force on July 1st this year... the business putting together any package Holiday will be responsible for the entire holiday, even if different parts are fulfilled by other companies. It’s designed to make online travel companies as responsible for consumer protections as traditional high street operations.

What does this mean for the likes of Broke, Ariiiix etc? It seems that you will now HAVE to be ABTA protected if you are selling more than one holiday component (eg, room plus flights or flights plus villa).

These rules will be legally enforced - the travel agent (Broke, for example) will have to pay up if the holiday is cancelled or one part of the package goes wrong (airline goes bust, hotel has a power cut) or even if the holiday doesn’t meet expectations. You can’t take that risk without ABTA protection.

Good news for holidaymakers. Bad news for non-ABTA protected scammy MLMs.

You're such a cynic @BangingOn, the pack also contained pens! PENS, I tell you!
Broke does seem to confuse an expense account (where your real company pays your expenses), and a payment card, onto which your earnings are paid, presumably for the purpose of tax avoidance (or, God forbid, catering for those whose credit rating is so poor no other banking institution would cater for them...).

You’re quite right, I did forget the pens. Game changer.

I’m pretty sure that Messiah will be getting joining fees up front for people to ‘lock in’ their positions. Remember the endless Mäelle pre-launch? They were getting their recruitment incentives & busily team building for six months with no product - the only way to make money was off downline sign up fees. Then they launched a few over priced shitty products, got sued by Younique and everyone lost money apart from a few people right at the top.

Déjà vu, my darlings. He’ll make some money. No one else will.

@ArbunneHun - Does this mean the agent cannot operate without ABTA protection, or merely that they are legally liable if something goes wrong?
I ask because the likes of Broke clearly have absolutely no funds or assets to cover any liability. I shouldn't expect the fear of bankruptcy would act as a deterrent, as it wouldn't materially affect their straitened circumstances. In which case there is not much more protection for anyone foolish enough to book a package through that clown.
Fortunately, this is merely conjectural, as his 'travel' scheme is a recruitment ponzi, with no real selling of holidays involved.

Good question @Twenty. This isn’t my area of professional specialism and the full announcement & Government response won’t be published until midnight tonight. I saw it under embargo on the news wires. It will be in the news tomorrow for certain, so if anyone has a better understanding, your in put would be welcome!

I've just had a realisation- Yawn stole all of Broke's commas!

So who stole all of the 're s?

It's just that I've seen " Your welcome" so many times across all the MLMs, there has to be something funny afoot

If Yawn's stolen Broke's commas who has kidnapped her full stops? Do they metamorphose into exclamation marks or wire coat hangers? Every wardrobe has one and most people don't know where it came from.

Hi I'm a long time lurker dying to know who messiah bot is?! how do I find out?!

She is ill a lot more frequently than I am

So, since Yawn believes that it's her team, not her, that deserves an accolade, will she be splitting this year's cheque between them? (Not that it would get very far, by all accounts...)

I'm struggling :(

Although it was a rollercoaster in FL, I spent a lot of time with my tummy flipping in excitement over the future I could have. Now I just don't know how to get there anymore - though I accept MLM wouldn't have brought it either!

I want an income of 5k plus per month into my household. OH nowhere near earning that on his business. I don't particularly want to return to my old career - full time makes around 1300 per month after tax etc. which rises each year.

I could go and do a master's and go a different route, but nothing excites me because the salaries never match my dreams.

Perhaps this is reality? But it's depressing! I have a nice car on finance which is my guilty pleasure but my house is rented - a respectable community of privately owned houses. My dream is a detached large house with large garden with a view. I don't want much!

I keep thinking ahead to when I am an old woman, what will I have wanted to spend my life doing? My answer is having experiences with my family. But that all costs. We have spent over £500 over half term and haven't even been away for a night and this includes new clothes for the kids and household things that had been put on hold as well as some days out/activities. We had the extra cash just down to a good month in hubby's business but that could reduce again come next winter.

Im just lost at the moment. I drop my child at school nursery and feel sad. I don't want to occupy myself by working for workings sake as then I will lose time at home.

I'll stop because I'm rambling.

Could there be stages to leaving MLM just like grieving?!

You're lacking a passion in your life?

Yes I think so, and a plan to lead us to a significantly better lifestyle. I always had a plan, now I don't.
