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.

Ah of course I'd forgotten they are "independent business owners".

So basically nobody regulates their behaviour with other bots. Just like nobody regulates their behaviour with potential customers I guess.

Barn is no longer in FLP or any MLM.

ArbunneHun · 30/04/2018 19:15

Regarding bullying & other bad behaviour: allegedly, that’s why Sacked-by-Ariiiix was er, sacked by Ariiiix. I know that some of our favourite(?) top FLPers have been reported for rule-breaking and bullying, but as they are the public face of the organisation, corporate can’t afford the reputational damage of letting them go. On the other side of the equation, I suppose you sometimes have ambitious downlines plotting the downfall of their upline in the hope of stepping into their #Loubs. And if you are an upline and had an ambitious manager downline who you got rid of, you’d inherit their team directly.

I suppose I’m saying that it’s a bot-eat-bot world out there. You need to watch your back at all times, and bullied or not, you have no protection.

You’re not an employee.
You have no rights.
If your upline bullies you, no redress
If your downline lies about you, no redress
If the company terminated you or refuses to pay you, no redress

PhD bot has finally acknowledged the rally. She's trying to explain how FL is really like Tesco, but even better because everyone gets what they deserve for their hard work...

So so so wrong..unless being a spineless greedy person is considered hard work...

And you cannot get Dairy milk in FL. 😂😂

cozietoesie · 30/04/2018 20:10

Oh Dear. Has she actually used the 'T' word? Smile

Eddierussett · 30/04/2018 20:13

Hahahahaha. Sorry have been lurking recently but had to come out of the woodwork and post after reading the tesco analogy post.

Apparently, mlm products are marketed by a volunteer army YET they are profitable. No love they are profitable BECAUSE they are marketed by a volunteer army (or near as volunteer with the lack of money most make.

BangingOn · 30/04/2018 20:26

Just catching up on Uber’s post about being hounded for her business card as she walked through the airport with her massive cheque and her yellow suitcase. Prat.

Twentytwentyhindsight · 30/04/2018 20:33

PhD bot also bragged about being mistaken for a 16-year old on the phone, whereas she is nearly 31.

If a 10-year old came out with her crap, I would suggest remedial classes.

BangingOn · 30/04/2018 20:43

There’s a comment on the FLPUK Facebook page in response to their post of the top 10 UK cheque bots- poor sod really wants to do well but doesn’t understand how he can and why there’s so much product for sale on eBay. Hopefully he’s starting to see the light and hasn’t lost too much.

BSintolerant · 30/04/2018 21:03

I don’t care how much anyone weighs or what they look like

What I care about, and will continue to call out, is LYING

Well said Sponge.

I've got a lovely image of a Saatchi-style billboard with a photo of overweight bots queuing up outside a business presentation with the caption: "C9's not working."

cozietoesie · 30/04/2018 21:17

Fingers crossed, Banging. Wink

fitgirl26 · 30/04/2018 22:03

And in other news Brokebot's Ex is flogging yet another weight loss coffee..... ☕️☕️

entrepeneur · 30/04/2018 22:10

The Original Brokebot has posted up some ludicrous pricing structure for his overpriced snake oil. As it's an American company, how does it work if you are trying to sign up from the U.K. where there is a maximum joining fee of £200 for MLMs?

He also added the wholesale order terms and conditions but they look a bit punitive to me. No refunds on wholesale orders sounds dodgy!

Sorry to ask again but can anyone tell me who Barn is? Thanks!

Ladiva1971 · 30/04/2018 22:50

With these and carrying my full size cheque I had loads of people ask for my business card to find out more on the way home! yeah sure she was carrying that cheque........I smell BS Uber...

Whiterangey · 01/05/2018 00:59

So she's walking through the airport carrying with her yellow luggage to go in the hold, her hand luggage a baby, and a huge sized cheque which she is holding so that the figure is showing.

Despite the fact that she will have been given one of those yellow cheque carrier things to put the cheque in.

If you look at her video of the cases going round the carousel, the only person paying attention is the lady with the glasses and the blue dress who seems to look at her only to wonder why she is filming baggage. She's probably then studied all the cases as they go by to see if there is something humorous that she has missed that would mean someone would film it to show their facebook friends.

She may even have wondered if they were filming her for some reason because that is what it looks like.

Uber knows that’s the last big cheque that she’ll be getting. She can make as much noise as she wants as she knows those big cheque days are over!!!

Her utter greed, self entitlement and self importance will be no more. Yawn (no cheque bot in Dallas 2018) has shown that despite working consistently hard throughout the year, brought home no cheque. It also hi-lights that Yawn cannot have access to money as surely she would have copied Uber and simply bought the required cc’s through her downline to get her cheque from what I understand - someone previously commented on Uber doing this.

Uber, face facts, your party is over. Invest wisely, you won’t be seeing a cheque like that again.

SoftlyCatchyMonkey1 · 01/05/2018 06:20

My question is what's been different about the last year? Has forever changed something to make it harder? Why are the uk struggling? Have the rules changed a little so that it's not as easy to get to manager? The cheque reduction is accross the board. Though undoubtedly some of it will be because there's more awareness out there of the negativity of mlms, there must be something else about the last year that has made it exceptionally difficult.

Bostin · 01/05/2018 06:30

The market is saturated I think. There are so many mlms out there to soak up potential people but more so that Forever are running out of new blood. The whole business model depends on continually recruiting to make £. Eventually you will run out of recruits.

SoftlyCatchyMonkey1 · 01/05/2018 06:48

Though I agree the market is saturated, there would have been a steady decline in cheque values over the years if it was solely that. Surely the market was also saturated in 2015. Something else is going on to make the bottom fall out of their businesses, all in the same year.
