Brand new thread for a brand new month.

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

Looks like Wig & Sleaze have been taken to court. Again. One of their former GCC teamies is claiming to have successfully sued/won a case against them and been awarded a settlement.

Wonder whether they’ll get their money? Don’t think those two have a penny, to be honest.

ArbunneHun I don't think they will get their money, I think you are right, they are broke.

When they were travelling around the world for GCC that must have been paid for with money they borrowed from others.

That is two people who have sued, i'm going to take a guess they both went up to the limit of the small claims court, so the actual amount owing would be higher.

But @White - they are #cryptoeducated! How can they possibly be broke? Unless it’s all a big scam and they are desperate liars?

I wonder how many people who gave them £500 have received the £180k they were promising a few months ago?

fitgirl26 · 20/04/2018 07:04

Acoording to Wig "we need the nation to be educated on how to profit and safeguard their valuable coins from all the scams out there" That would include whatever Cryptoscam she's currently flogging then?

I'm trying to keep up with the Cryptoscams but can't remember what Wig'n'Sleaze are promoting with the ex Valentus Canadian jailbird. Broke's Ex is pushing Omnia I think #crytpocurious? And the majority of the Ex Usi top bots are now promoting Ormeus Global in their secret groups which looks about as legit as Usi did and their downline are lapping it up. I noticed a post from a Usi Top Bot on Porschebot's page the other day so maybe Porsche'n'Lip are having a bite at the Crypto cherry as well?

Vitae Global have collapsed.

Viba Global has risen from the ashes of Vitae.

Broke has a new business page. The pic is another classy photoshop and the most recent post is a load of gobbledegook about medical professionals being 'gobsmacked' about his bloody oil and they have put their relatives on it.
He's bananas.

MLMsuperfan · 20/04/2018 10:41

He's describing himself as Dr (Real name).

Pretty sure he didn't go to medical college.

Not entirely sure you're allowed to do that.

Dogjustguffed · 20/04/2018 10:53

Ohh, Broke. That latest photoshopping hurts my brain.

Will anyone seriously believe that he got a load of medical professionals to “take a look” at his oil (implying that they analysed it in some way- not sure how or when they would have done that, and why people with genuine expertise would not have found this amazing oil for themselves) and conclude that it was the best quality out there?

I think the most vile thing, in common with most of these MLMs, is that the most desperate people- in this case often in a lot of pain- will waste their money on it. Awful. How does he sleep at night?

SSDGM · 20/04/2018 12:08

His teamie who recently qualified for shares or some shite is making some pretty hefty illegal weight loss claims about her stupid spray. She’s losing 2lb a day, apparently.

SSDGM · 20/04/2018 12:08

Hang on, this is Vitae Global that took over Xerveo a short while ago, right?

SSDGM · 20/04/2018 12:18

Also: the behind MLM Page seems to have disappeared.

It must just be a glitch on behindmlm, that is where I read the information this morning. I believe he gets a lot of attacks on his page due to what he says about Ponzi's, people can't handle him exposing scams.

So apparently Dr Broke has no white blood cells at all but is being kept alive by CBD oil instead of being put in complete isolation. Ok then.....

darceybussell · 20/04/2018 13:29

Hmm I'm not sure I agree that brokebot knows what he's doing. I think he's just really not very bright. He doesn't realise he's breaking the law making medical claims, he thinks if he just says 'this is not a medical claim' that means it's ok, and I think he genuinely believes that at some point one of these MLMs is going to pay off and make him a load of money. I don't think he's bright enough to work out that any money comes from the losses of the people below and I don't think he's bright enough to understand what a pyramid or Ponzi scheme is. I think if someone writes something on Facebook he believes it and blindly repeats it.

Clearly I'm going against the grain with that opinion but if he was genuinely a clever scammer taking people for a ride you'd have thought he'd have actually benefited in the end, and he doesn't appear to have!

Dunning-Krueger effect, isn’t it? He’s not as clever as he thinks he is and he also thinks no one is more clever than he is.

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning–Kruger_effect

Also explains why we get so baffled when bots who get ripped off over and over again don’t learn. We credit them with more sense than they actually have.

SSDGM · 20/04/2018 14:07

I’ve not reported the teamie. Advertising standards or trading standards?

@darceybussell He knows. He knows he made up telling the doctors about the CBD and them being all excited and giving him their email.

He also claimed he spoke to nurses and consultants about it in A&E. Nurses are not in the habit of having time to stand around talking about CBD.

That is all absolute rubbish he made up to make it sound like CBD oil has the blessing of doctors.

Yup agree that he's fabricated it all to manipulate sales.

darceybussell · 20/04/2018 17:19

Ha you're right I can't defend that!

Twentytwentyhindsight · 20/04/2018 18:11

darcey, you are right that he is very dim and incapable of realising that the world comprises scammers who will always run rings around him and are the only ones likely to profit from these schemes.

I think he genuinely believes that, one day, he will strike lucky by being in the right place at the right time.

However, as others have pointed out, he will happily spout blatant lies (that he had fabricated, rather than merely propagated) in pursuit of his goals.

His problem is that he is such a low-rent conman that he will only ever be able to rope in an ever decreasing circle of people even more skint, desperate and clueless than himself. There is not much of a lifestyle to be had from this, no matter how clever he thinks he is.

I worry for his partner (who seems voiceless and vulnerable), as well as his kids' futures (notwithstanding the fact he appears to genuinely care for them). This is, at best, going nowhere, but could get much worse if he is not careful.

I was defending him a few days ago LOL. I changed my mind so fast I got whiplash.
