Brand new thread for a brand new month.

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

He knows from experience. Looks like he got roped into LTW at some point. Good for him for kicking back.

Broke has also taken down two posts about his new recruits. Wonder if this one is fizzling out as fast as it started?

Are any of members of the Facebook page 'Sounds like MLM but OK'? I've been trying to join for weeks but for some reason they won't accept my join request.
I follow all the threads here but rarely post, and would love to read more botwatchy stuff - if any of you are in that group I'd love an in ;)

Wig has been posting about the fabulous Privilege Car Club again, well constantly actually.

Now it's a motor home or car of your choice for only £50 a month.

There is apparently also an ICO included. That isn't on the PCC site, i've not seen that anywhere else, and I cannot even begin to imagine how you could come up with an ICO that would have anything to do with a shitty car pyramid.

Messiah really should have launched on Easter sunday. I noticed that Superdrug are selling slimfast for half price. Buy some white labels and a permanent marker and you have a business plan.

I think everything this guy puts up should be screenshot and complied and sent to T.Standards!

Am I right in thinking there was an Ariix product containing Melatonin? They quickly withdrew it in the UK when anti-MLMers pointed it out. It may have been on the Juice Plus group I saw it mentioned. People there were reporting it.

Had a co-worker today look up from her phone and say to one of the bosses, and I guess me though it wasn’t clear, that she sees all these things advertising “work from home opportunities, and people making millions working from home and that she’d like to try that but what if it turned out to be a scam?” Nearly choked on my water. Boss says “most of them are” I added “more than most” but stopped short of going into great detail....maybe another day. Geez! I am not seeking out these experiences! But every other day I encounter someone involved, contemplating, talking about some MLM product or “opportunity”. It’s an epidemic!

Whiterangey · 10/04/2018 05:19

I never get anything like that, except at school fetes.

Which is why i'm going to purchase the MLMTruth shirt with "No, I don't want to hear about your amazing business opportunity" on it to wear for those events during the summer.

Juice Plus has been there the past two years at both fetes I go to. Last year there was also Jamberry at one of them.

Well done, White. Let us know what reaction you get? Smile

ArbunneHun · 10/04/2018 06:25

Morning all! Happy Life-Changing MLM Launch Day huns!

It’s like Christmas, but scammier! Eeeeeek!

Spongebobette · 10/04/2018 10:38

ha haaaaaa haaaaaa

I see that a certain FL bot is getting her excuses in early, posting that she had a 'year off' from her bizness (absolutely no evidence of this).

As this is just before Dallas and Chairman's Bonus I wonder if she is slightly concerned that her cheque will be less than last year's??

Hmmmm

Twentytwentyhindsight · 10/04/2018 11:02

Looks like she's taken a bag of commas & chucked them at the post.

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 10/04/2018 11:13

Took a year off?! Has she bollocks!

You'd be hard pressed to find a single day where she wasn't working in some way or another (be it in the evening, the weekend, face to face, on social media etc).

Only recently she posted about taking a few days off yet within 24 hours she was posting about how amazing some FL product was and was then at some FL event .

It makes me wonder what "time off" actually means to a bot because it sure as hell has a different definition to the one I have .Hmm

ArbunneHun · 10/04/2018 12:23

Messiah’s latest post, announcing his live tonight at 9 and pushing ‘free’ trials of the weight loss product he’s launching went up 3 hours ago. So far only 12 comments, 3 shares.

Dear oh dear. Not sure the masses are believing the hype any more. Hope he’s got a Plan B!

Whiterangey · 10/04/2018 12:35

That has got to be the funniest thing i've ever read on the internet.

We are talking about the Woman whose daughter went out alone with a friend for the first time and she got her daughter to pose for a photo showing them talking about it. She even made sure she was pictured mid cup of tea drinking. She takes everything and stages it for a photo op. She never ever stops working, and didn't stop at all at any time.

I love her claim that she coaches other to success. Who are these successes? Why hasn't she listed all of her team that are coming with her to Dallas because they are getting the Chairman's Bonus as well?

Her BFF just lost her Million pound house and is the only one who I can see has had any success. Someone she started coaching over a month ago was saying last week she hadn't yet had an order.

She also used the moving house and renovating the house excuse last year just before she received her cheque that was a third of what she got the previous year.

At the end of April last year, shortly after coming back from Dubai, her husband claimed they had already earned the trip to Dallas this year.

Only working at 20%? Does she think people are really that stupid?

Spongebobette · 10/04/2018 13:22

I am sorry to say that she just needs to convince enough people to believe the bullshit each month to make herself money

Whiterangey · 10/04/2018 13:56

This is it unfortunately. Turnover of recruits is so high that there will be very few left who heard the same thing last year.

I doubt her cheque this year will be any higher than last year, even if it is it will still be a third lower than her biggest one, which will again be put down to not working her business last year.

I cannot wait for the cheques. People in the UK definitely haven't done as well as they have in previous years, the CC's are down by a lot. That said, less are getting a cheque so less people to get the same share of profits. That is only the UK, and of course FL UK's profits are way down. The rest of the world still seem to be doing okay, so it's possible the UK cheques could be really bad this year.

I noticed something about Messiah's launch. He is making a big thing about everything being EU compliant, and it being an EU thing. EU even appears in the email address. I believe they are currently in Ireland, but their prospective 'business partners' are almost exclusively in the UK.

It's being touted as an EU MLM.

Someone really needs to tell him or give a heads up to all the UK bots rushing to join his EU MLM opportunity.

Big event at FL Head Office in may, £20 fee (plus booking fee) for a 6 week course on how to be best at being....... I don't know desperate and hopeful?

Presented by Yawnbot, Yawnbot Bestie #1, and BabyBot,

The must see event of the year, turns into another event that will make them the money they are needing for their lease payments.

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 10/04/2018 14:40

All these training events must be the same old shit just repackaged and given a different title.

Do the victims ever sit there listening and think "hang on a minute, this exactly what they said at the last training that I paid £20 to attend Confused?" .

Or are they just too brainwashed to notice? Or too over-awed by the generosity of FL (in the form of a disposable plastic cup of luke-warm Lambrini)?

Norma27 · 10/04/2018 17:23

Didn’t yawn use that excuse last year for her bonus cheque being smaller. How dumb does she think people are.
Just wondering if she would understand the above sentences without a couple of dozen commas thrown in randomly?!

Don't know how many birthdays or days out with the kids my OH missed for those trainings.

Every time, this was the one that would propel her biznis to the next level and couldn't be missed on any account.

She'd come back with a glazed look in her eye, quite a few quid lighter and oh, business did not grow one iota.

Spongebobette · 10/04/2018 18:29

mmmm.... lukewarm Lambrini.....out of plastic cups....mmmmmm
