A few things:

If watching Broke has taught me one thing it’s that he thrives on attention and drama. He’s always at the centre or trying to be at the centre of a drama. He says he’s doing it to help others or raise awareness. Bollocks: he wants the attention. He needs the attention.

Most people make a bad decision (ie, join a pyramid scheme), get burned, have a bruised ego and quietly go off and do something else. Not our Broke! Oh no, for him it’s a massive issue of integrity (er... bit late for that!), truth (wouldn’t know it if it hit you in the face), and altruism.

Utter rubbish. He’s a desperate attention seeker. He’s complaining now about Evolution putting his details out publicly - he reposted the posts! He shared his own details with a wider audience. If he really cared about the safety & security of his family, he would never have done that. But what he did want to do was feed the fire of his drama bonfire.

And all that stuff about trading standards/-action fraud etc: through my day job, I know about these services. They are desperately, horrifically under-resourced. They will not be taking this ‘all the way’. They haven’t the resources to deal with major product safety issues, let alone a little social media spat about an MLM.

Broke, if you are reading this GET HELP. You will do nothing for your family by perpetuating this endless, exhausting cycle of drama. You will never find the MLM of your dreams because it doesn’t exist. Give it up. Move on. Get a grip.

I'm lurking on too many MLM pages. FB has just suggested I might like Femalepreneur Academy. 😭😭😭😭

Sean1984 · 18/04/2018 21:27

Oh ffs,big deal,half the bots prob already have this guys phone number ,and if he was an actual proper entrepreneur with published accounts ,his address would be on the published accounts,( they would be in Ireland anyway) boo fucking woo

entrepeneur · 18/04/2018 23:01

He had his home address on a FB business page he set up for a previous MLM, perhaps the coffee one. No idea if his phone number was available freely but I suppose he would hand that out to any sucker he thought he could recruit.

This MLM life is really taking its toll on him but he seems unable to hold down a J.O.B. so I guess his options are limited to this cycle he's stuck in.

SSDGM · 18/04/2018 23:31

He’s courted all this drama himself. He loves it. He’s now a victim and for him that’s a delicious position to be in.

Sean1984 · 18/04/2018 23:42

Thats all hes doing , hes flipping it around. Sucked people into a doggy scheme(arent they all!!) , people pissed off,but turning it around now and blabbing on about his data protection and hes at risk,people know his address, bla bla bla bla bla,,,,

Most bots have their address out there somewhere. I have never heard of anyone causing any problems or being any kind of threat to someones family because they have the bots address.

It's MLM, not the mafia, nobody is going to be putting a horses head in his bed.

Hopefully his downline is dwindling with each MLM, especially with the drama surrounding each exit.

Did Evolution put his details out or did he do that himself? Maybe he put it in a group somewhere to show what was on it, or something like that.

It would be very rare that something that a company could access would have an unencrypted password in it. That would mean the company would be able to access your password and the passwords of everyone else. I can't help but feel this is a personal printout that was only available to him, and he put it out there not realising it had his password on it. I imagine if the company had access to passwords every single Evolution member would be up in arms right about now.

Someone just used the screenshot he already put out there, but that wouldn't get him attention if he admitted to that.

So, my ex Acti, ex Vida, Ex Acti, Ex Smile Network, Ex Saba For Life (all in the space of a year!) Bot has posted to say she has quit network marketing to focus on her career. Just two weeks after launching he new website. She admitted that MLM is ok “for a few hundred pounds” but “for a full time wage you need to work double full time hours”. Seems almost losing her husband last year after her buying promotions left them thousands of pounds in debt has finally helped her realise. She’s still an annoying, self obsessed twat though.

GoldenKelpie · 19/04/2018 07:21

Had a look at Broke's girlfriend's fb page and the live. Yes, he looks stressed but his face looks strangely blotchy like he's done it himself for effect iyswim. Not surprised he is stressed, all the scammy behaviour is catching up with him I think. There'll be many he has conned who want answers. It's not pretty. I don't understand why he is upset people know his address as most normal businesses do not keep their addresses secret. Having said that, he will be worried that his victims will seek him out personally to answer some difficult questions.

entrepeneur · 19/04/2018 09:04

@GoldenKelpie He's probably stressed because he's broke from all his MLM disasters.

entrepeneur · 19/04/2018 09:09

I did a quick search online for MyDailyChoice and the reviews aren't great. Here's the first link that came up that says the compensation plan is unnecessarily complicated, the products are expensive and the health benefits are not proven and the sales rep will have to set themselves up with an auto shop. Also I think I saw Broke mention that one of the sprays (perhaps the weight loss one) is NFR - isn't that the kiss of death for MLM products?

entrepeneur · 19/04/2018 09:09

SSDGM · 19/04/2018 09:11

It’s the sleep one that’s NFR. It contains melatonin, which you can only get on prescription in the uk.

Hi Judge Rinder right now, a couple setting up an MLM sueing a marketing company.

Anyone recognise them if you can get to a tv or watch it back later?

Whiterangey · 19/04/2018 15:25

I only just read Broke's post where he posts the screenshot of someone on some random messageboard saying that the person he got into an argument with is a prostitute, scammerr, and a lair. Also allegations of child abuse. I hate lairs.

That's his integrity showing again, posting secondhand rumours from an unconfirmed source.

Jonsey32 · 19/04/2018 16:57

Actually, I’ve looked at what was posted again.
I can see his phone number and I can see his passwords. I honestly can’t see his address though and it’s not liked he’s blanked anything out.
Unless I’m going mad, there’s no address there so I’m not sure what he’s going on about.
To be fair though his phone number and passwords should never have been shared but I can’t see what he means by his address being there.

CurlsandCurves · 19/04/2018 17:25

I was only half watching Judge Rinder (working from home, lol). But from what I caught the couple were hoping to bring a new MLM from the states to the uk. They spent thousands in setting up with this marketing company on flyers, booklets etc. But they must have spent even more elsewhere on it because they said they had lost everything and were living in a caravan.

Very sad to watch, what people will do in order to chase the dream. They probably thought they were onto a winner, getting in at the top, being amongst the first in the uk with whatever mlm it was.

entrepeneur · 19/04/2018 17:27

Just watching Judge Rinder now. The couple in question are involved in a company called HD Life/Lifestyle or something like that. The usual supplements, tea, ganoderma mushroomy beverages

GoldenKelpie · 19/04/2018 17:47

Just had a look at today's Judge Render and the couple's company is called The HD Lifestyle, and Total Life Changes is the MLM company they represent, it seems. Looking at the couples' website it clearly explains their "The Power of 2" sponsoring downline and how at 12 months you'll be very wealthy indeed Hmm. The figures look impressive, it's a shame they are not connected to reality.

Whiterangey · 19/04/2018 17:52

I haven't watched it, but absolutely no sympathy for them. We all know that it's only those at the top who make money, so those two people were obviously planning on making their fortune on the losses incurred by people down the line.

Glad it was them who lost everything instead of Jane Bloggs who desperately wants to stay home with her new baby and make enough money for a few extras.

The HD Lifestyle UK LTD is a registered company, but with no officers. 2 addresses on there though but no officers, never seen that before.

I'm not seeing evidence they are living in a caravan. The husband appears to be selling CBD, posts on his facebook with regards to CBD, including it's magically cancer killing abilities.

They gave a figure of 50k debt, and they paid around 13k to the marketing company. Under 4K was awarded to them by Rinder. They got a ticking off for sending threatening messages to the marketing company owner they were suing. They don't sound like they have much business sense though, despite the bloke having run his own non-MLM for many years.

SSDGM · 19/04/2018 18:35

TLC was the MLM that head Vida “mushrooms cured my terminal cancer” bloke worked for before he left under a cloud and started selling his laxative tea.

ReformedBot · 19/04/2018 20:24

Horrific video clip on Castlebot Instagram right now showing her Forever BFF's son in an accident that Castle 'cant stop laughing' at.

Whiterangey · 19/04/2018 20:52

That is not normal, she is not displaying a normal reaction to an accident that bad. That must have hurt and was upsetting to watch.

I'm sitting here and I can still see him falling and it's been a few minutes since I watched it, and it's a horrible sight and a horrible feeling.
