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.

I'm loving the 'cracked egg of dodgy health claims' on that post.
It's clearly someone's first stab at PowerPoint.

Meanwhile, MessiahBot has asked his excitable disciples to nominate their upline for the second coming.

He and Mrs Messiah are obviously the choice of many, but neither will be "involved in the binary", as this would just be greedy, apparently...

Trying to catch up with whose who after a while off these threads. Could someone kindly pm me the latest who is who. Yawn uber etc please. My up not and nuskin not are getting more and more desperate with their recruitment posts and both have slyly got full time jobs which they don't mention. The arse is definitely falling out of the Mon bizzo.

7seas · 02/05/2018 10:17

JP AND NUSKIN BOYS I MEAN. BLOODY PHONE Grin

7seas · 02/05/2018 10:17

Bots ffs

Twentytwentyhindsight · 02/05/2018 11:20

@7seas - You know you need to get an online life outside bot watching when the autocorrect starts working the other way. When I write about my sons, they are transformed into bots!

7seas · 02/05/2018 13:08

Is anyone on here still in team groups on Facebook for Forever Living?

What’s the general feeling about the reduced cheques etc? Is there a lot of spinning going on?

ReformedBot · 02/05/2018 14:45

I'll have a scout but there was nothing in Castles team page earlier this week! I'm sure it's an unspoken rule now, 'dont question the cheque's!!

Here is her new incentive though...

" MASSIVE MAY INCENTIVE

UK & GLOBAL TEAMS EVERYONE INCLUDED!

This month is all about being the best that you that you can be!

So our incentive matches that... Take a look at your total active cc's (your cc's that you get from your personal cc's & fbo cc's)

If you beat your best by 0.5cc's (must be a minimum of 2cc) then you will qualify for the prizes on the posters.
This is your best total active so far this year!

August 4th 12-5 for our eagles summer party.. We'll have summer games, prize giveaways from further incentives in June and July & lots of fun as families together!

Cannot wait!!!!"

When I was fully botted I worked hard to qualify for this and travelled a very long way with my family to head office where the summer party was held. It was an absolute let down.

I'd been so excited because 'Castle has loads of money and it's being held at head office so there should be loads of fun activities and treats'.

There was a marquee with picnic tables, a tennis set and a ball on a grassy area (maybe some other outdoor things I didn't notice, hardly anyone played with them), an ice cream van which I am pretty sure wasn't free and a small bouncy castle. It was very cliquey and none of the top bots circulated amongst us lower ranks. We left early to go find somewhere more fun.

That was possibly another major turning point for me - why weren't we being spoilt with free food, drinks, entertainment etc. since this was an earned treat and she is apparently loaded? I felt guilty for drafting my family along excitedly for what was a huge let down (though we made it better elsewhere).

Castle is the Queen of Spin. She is also pushing her USA & Canada team members with incentives specifically for them.

Spongebobette · 02/05/2018 15:39

hmm so this wonderful incentive will get bots buying more product to qualify for the prizes. How very transparent.

Twentytwentyhindsight · 02/05/2018 16:33

Yawn's back promoting her triple bot fest (Stella & Dot, Poonique & Forever Lying), along with a rictus shot & some nibbles.

It doesn't seem to be drawing the masses. I feel sorry for the genuine business owners drawn into it.

Paddy1234 · 02/05/2018 16:41

I have been avidly reading this thread - I posted on a group to the effect that the bottom looks like it has dropped out of the market on a group page in a very non malicious way to test your theory - under one of the very reduced cheques. You are very right, it was deleted a short time later. The group turnover for FL in 2016 was 120m, I assume that with the reduced cheques that this has depleted drastically. I really don't know how it can now sustain as a business in the UK. I see that the top ten are hawking there business abroad now instead of the UK and a lot are terming themselves coaches now.

cozietoesie · 02/05/2018 16:44

Ah, Good Paddy. You found the new thread. Smile

Paddy1234 · 02/05/2018 17:04

I may have to ask someone soon on names - I know who Uber is (friends know the ex-husband well), Yawn is easy as I live in the same county and last year had all over my facebook people hawking voting for the public vote on something, BS is easy, Yawn bff, Lanzo, Castle, but someone may have to point me in right direction for the Home School one and also PHD - I haven't worked that out at all. The bricks are toppling and there is no way back up now. Apart from one in the top ten that I can see - none have the right skill set to market themselves abroad and in other industries within the UK. Also what is it with all the book writing ffs.

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 02/05/2018 17:10

Re: the triple bot fest - there are 4 people going so far .....one of those is Yawn, , one of those is the owner of the cafe it's happening in and another is FL bot with the same surname as cafe owner .

It's quite funny that one of the "selling points" is that there's a photographer doing headshots when Yawn is the master of a heavily filtered selfie!

moose23ishungry · 02/05/2018 17:44

Maybe some of us should attend the photo shoot day Grin

moose23ishungry · 02/05/2018 17:57

God I'd wonder where I went wrong if I had to use Facebook to flog washing detergent in a 1980s bottle to my unsuspecting friends

entrepeneur · 02/05/2018 18:50

Stylish wording from the page for the photo shoot event:

Dont let an inferior photo prevent your business grow!

cozietoesie · 02/05/2018 18:51

That was the wording?

Twentytwentyhindsight · 02/05/2018 18:58

There are words...

Whiterangey · 02/05/2018 19:02

I remember when I went and had my headshot for my facebook profile picture done. Hair, makeup, photographer. The dress I chose to wear cost £1000 alone, you have to do things right even if you could only see 4mm of the top of it. Diamond earrings and necklace, and we flew to somewhere exotic so the light was right.

Totally worth it, I got 12 likes, 22 loves, and 4 wows!

moose23ishungry · 02/05/2018 19:03

£1000! Did you buy the dress or just borrow it?

entrepeneur · 02/05/2018 19:04

Nothing screams quality jewellery like plastic tat from Stella & Dot. Didn't realise they were still going

Twentytwentyhindsight · 02/05/2018 19:04

Rangey- any PMs Hun?

bearbehind · 02/05/2018 19:14

I've not been on these threads for ages but had a poke around on my bots FB page and noticed all the old cheque photos have miraculously disappeared; presumably on account of the fact they got sweet FA this year.

PMSL😂😂😂😂

Does anyone have a list or link of this years cheques and last years beyond the top 10?
