MLM Bot Watch 38 - Large cheques are not forever

988 replies

Whiterangey · 27/04/2018 21:00

I think the members of the Anti-MLM Coalition in the UK deserves to be recognised for the reduced cheques that have been received by the Forever Living bots in the UK.

They have worked tirelessly to spread the Anti-MLM message which seemed like a pointless battle when they started.

Yet here we are, the message is getting out there, and people are beginning to get the message.

People are listening. Ex-bots are telling their stories and encouraging others to leave or not to join MLM's.

You are all awesome and have worked so hard, you deserve so much respect for helping so many people.

Just caught up with all this. Sterling work, spending your Saturday night watching a room of whooping flag waving bots, you guys have some serious stamina to get through that! I applaud you. The work you guys have put in this weekend is awesome.

There is still one comment up on Yawns page from a genuine bot, presumably one of her downline, excitedly wanting to know when Yawn is getting her cheque as she doesn’t want to miss it. Hahaha.

I investigated the whole ‘we help sick children with aloe vera’ claims a few years ago. www.google.co.uk/amp/s/botwatch.blog/2016/05/04/forever-living-using-sick-children-great-ormond-street-hospital-and-a-charity-to-make-unsubstantiated-health-claims/amp/

I am having a think about the African charity angle for an article. I think it is relevant and interesting, although I try not to make my blog about individual attacks. Perhaps it would work as part of a wider story about all MLMs and charity and give examples.

Supporting a ‘good cause’ is one of the hallmarks of a cult. This is where people try to make out the focus of their activities are doing good, they are not just trying to make money.

Wonder what the excuse will be for not flying business/first class on the way home. Not needed outgoing as good day time flight and half empty plane. I’m presuming it will be a night flight as all flights I have been on have been when flying back from USA. Obviously no excuses needed if it is a day flight unless the plane is full this time!

Whatsaldigottodowithit · 29/04/2018 11:01

In a way I do actually have respect for the ones who are posting their massively reduced cheques and not putting up any excuses. Not the ones who are saying they had a “whole year off” or who having previously posted multiple pictures of them and all their “teamies” holding large cheques haven’t posted ones with them at all. Noticed there aren’t huge posts about next years rally, is that because they don’t think they will qualify or because Sweden isn’t considered flash enough?

TrippleFlappyDiamondSparrow · 29/04/2018 11:04

I took a break from these forums when I felt it was getting out of hand with comments made about Bradfordbot. However, I still do follow them and read whats being said. Well done to everyone making some sense about the rally - the comments on here have been genious!

I'm absolutely thrilled that Yawn has received diddlt squat. After Salon she is my most hated bot. Shes so far up her own arse and full of self importance... the amount of people she has bullied, the whole Yawn situation about trying to get that woman fired from her job was disgraceful. Karma!!!

Trippleflappy welcome back!

What's the story about a bot trying to get someone fired from their job?

Norma27 · 29/04/2018 12:14

BS yawn was showing off her ‘interior design’ a while back and somebody commented ‘yawn’ on the post. This person had public Facebook which showed who her employers were. I have a feeling she was public sector, maybe nhs but can’t remember. Yawn (the biggest bully of them all) then tried to get this lady fired from her job for bullying.

TrippleFlappyDiamondSparrow · 29/04/2018 12:15

I can't remember the full ins and outs but it was something alone the lines of Yawn posted a picture of something she 'renovated' (painted and shoved wallpaper on it). A lady commented on the pic saying "Yawn". Yawnbot went ballistic and said this lady was bullying her and she was going to report her to ITV - as thats where the lady worked. It backfired on Yawnbot. Her minions stuck by her and stroked her ego, but there was a frenzy of people calling Yawnbot out as the bully for trying to get someone sacked for simply commenting Yawn.

Thats where she got the nickname Yawn from.

It was disgraceful and it showed just how power driven she is. Her behaviour was complete and utter disgrace.

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 29/04/2018 12:43

She is such a control freak and cannot accept when things don't go her way.

I also can't believe that she's clearly gone through everyone who has liked Timeless Vie and Botwatch and blocked them from her page just in case they comment on her page. How time-consuming must that be?

She's clearly crapping her pants.

Twentytwentyhindsight · 29/04/2018 12:53

On a completely different note, Wig is enquiringly about a product-based network marketing that would accept her 17 year old daughter.

Surely she'd be better off doing one of her crypto PhDs, she'd be shitting gold bars in no time.

Twentytwentyhindsight · 29/04/2018 12:53

*enquiring

Teddy1970 · 29/04/2018 13:18

Now I know why she's called Yawn...I thought it was because her public speaking voice was so bloody boring!

spanfan · 29/04/2018 13:24

Going back a page of two, I think the best way to get to Bloodsucker is to call her out on places like this. Make sure people under her spell can see the other side/the truth about how she works.

She, despite her public face, has no morals as long as she is recruiting. Even if her recruitees are poor and desperate. Who cares as long as she gets her bonus cheque.

Teddy1970 · 29/04/2018 13:27

Fancy trying to get someone sacked because she didn't like their comment on FB, that is disgraceful behaviour from her, well her chickens are coming home to roost now aren't they? It couldn't happen to nicer person imo.

BangingOn · 29/04/2018 13:40

The JP conference is running half an hour early- usually these things run over time as speakers don’t stick to time. Could it be that they don’t have much to say this year?

Ladiva1971 · 29/04/2018 13:40

Wow they are all very quiet today on FB, must be nursing their hangovers Smile

BSintolerant · 29/04/2018 13:51

Thank you! I remember the yawn comment but I'd forgotten she'd threatened to get someone sacked just for commenting "Yawn" on Facebook.

If I'd done that and someone told one of my employers what I'd done all of my colleagues would have commented "Yawn" on her posts just to piss her off! Grin

Kathysclown · 29/04/2018 14:09

I have been trying for ages to find Yawn on FB (I think I know her name and 'business') but failing - seems like I have been blocked as a result of being a Timeless Vie/Bot Watch liker too, although I haven't commented on the for at least a year......

ArbunneHun · 29/04/2018 14:24

I was pretty quickly blocked by both Salon & Yawn a couple of years back.

Not going to lie, I’m bloody proud that they both considered me to be such a threat. Must be doing something right!

fitgirl26 · 29/04/2018 14:32

Yawn blocked my alter ego when I posted on her status about the "yawn" comment in which she complained about being bullied while simultaneously bullying the person who made the comment and rallying her minions to do the same.
Luckily I use my alter ego to comment but my actual profile to stalk 😀

Grrrrinch · 29/04/2018 14:49

Can anyone tell me if the woman that was harassing me got a cheque please? I blocked her.

She's best friends with Lanza, genuinely from years back and her BiL and SiL are part of flp too.

Thanks in advance

Whiterangey · 29/04/2018 16:18

@Toobusytowee That is an awesome article and I remember reading that a while back.

The reply from GOSH is interesting.

I do wonder about the supposed money raised. You can't trust a thing they say unless it is verified by a third party.

It looks like in Bloodsuckers case that the money raised for the well and other projects was not from her pocket but raised by others. She just went out there for the photo op and to sign up as many people as she could.

@Twentytwentyhindsight, you raised some great points, very interesting discussion. I think the only thing that will get rid of MLM's in the UK is to change the law, which doesn't appear to be going to happen any time soon.

The same discussions happened after the Thangbot incident. I think the comments about her parenting were unwarranted but using her position as a carer and her son's illness to gain sympathy and as a why to sell her stuff is disgraceful. Not all carers act like that or try and sell stupid products as a treatment or a cure.

Carers hate MLM bullshit, no, CBD will not help, no, the magic beans you are selling will not help. You are not helping, you are targeting the vulnerable, especially when you go straight for the person that is being cared for because you know they are more likely to believe you. CBD oil is the worst, I hate it with a passion, and those who sell it for putting complete rubbish out there and targeting vulnerable people.
