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.

Of course the dress was brought, it's not as if I left the tags on had the photo taken and then returned the dress. I'd never do that, not ever.

Lot's of PM's @Twentytwentyhindsight, I even mentioned how i'd had so many people contact me while I was away having my headshot done but I couldn't answer all the thousands of people who PM'd me as I didn't have wifi all the time I was on the exotic island.

All the millions of people who contacted me while i'd been away were so great, they didn't even comment on my facebook post when I was apologising about not contacting them back. None of them said things like 'No problem Hun', or 'That's alright, just reply whenever hun'. They posted nothing at all, none of them made any indication that I was apologising to them to save me feeling bad. They were so good that it was almost as if i'd made up that people had been contacting me while I was away.

I didn't make them up, they exist.

Honest.

Top Scot Bot (YogaBot) has signed her daughter up as she turns 18 today!

I missed a trick there, I got mine a guitar and a bottle of Jack Daniels when I should have really bought her financial freedom Hmm

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 02/05/2018 19:24

Shame a certain bot's suitcase of commas didn't go astray whilst in Dallas - they're back with a vengeance, sprinkled liberally around the latest recruitment post.

Twentytwentyhindsight · 02/05/2018 19:27

5* my arse. Cattle class and shared Premier Inn room.

willdoitinaminute · 02/05/2018 19:44

Oh the commas. You just can’t put enough commas in a sentence. We could invent a new drinking game, with all those misplaced commas.
Thought I’d add an extra one for good luck! Smile
I am seriously thinking of joining a certain gym Wink

And it’s strange how Roomie had WiFi even on the plane!

Can anyone give me the heads up by a Welsh couple are always on the trips but no sign ever of a cheque. I think they are in Ubers downline and not Castles as they spend a lot of time hanging out with her. The husband has recently reinvented as a coach however from previous to FL he had a few failed businesses so is in essence I support an expert.

Paddy1234 · 02/05/2018 19:50

And Yes I have been secretly stalking for years wondering if the bubble was going to burst

Norma27 · 02/05/2018 19:50

Yawn’s full stops are missing in action tho! Who needs them when you have so many commas to use up?!

Twentytwentyhindsight · 02/05/2018 21:08

A bit telling on Yawn's recruitment post - they used to be all specific ("3 ladies", "5 spaces", ...). Now, it's "the more the merrier" - desperation, much?

Whiterangey · 02/05/2018 22:47

She is broke, or close to it and likely absolutely shitting herself. How the hell to you turn losing a 17th century farmhouse into a positive?

Yawn's BFF soon to be ex husband has got his own business but it doesn't look like Mr Yawn is working with him. He did a job today and someone was helping him install things and it wasn't Mr Yawn.

@Twentytwentyhindsight You can definitely see the desperation, making out she enjoys it.

Luckily she's had a couple of responses which is great, two women who can't wait to work with her.

That pesky bloody facebook search strikes again.

007 bot was watching her lives and interested in joining her team and joined her business group back in january.

The other one joined her team back in March. She was actually part of forever back in 2010, has either decided to give it another go or left and has decided to rejoin, which isn't a smart move.

Smart getting them to comment on her status to make it look like people are interested in joining now though. Got to give her props for that.

Been stalking for a while and finally figured out who the main bots are! Feeling smug Grin

But does anyone know which bot was responsible for signing up someone suffering with cancer?

SoftlyCatchyMonkey1 · 03/05/2018 08:06

What's with all the selfies they keep putting up? Is there a rule that they must put up as many pics of themselves as possible in the belief that it helps business?

A few pages ago someone mentioned about how the case credit values had changed and it therefore was harder to get to the big money, in addition to market saturation ofcourse.

Is this the same in other countries? Why has the uk moved to 6th from 1st - surely the other "western" countries would have saturated also? Or do they have different cc values / criteria / goal posts for getting to the big bucks?

Twentytwentyhindsight · 03/05/2018 08:42

Apart from the fact that FLP will have been launched at different times in different countries, the curve towards the point where there will be fewer prepared to join than are leaving is not smooth.

A massive factor, as I said in a previous post, is the presence of a vocal and growing anti-MLM movement, which helps decrease the already shrinking pool of potential joiners. Such movements may only be starting up in other countries.

Another factor accounting for different countries being at different points on the curve is dependent on market conditions. If FLP have a 'breakthrough' year in a particular country, the immediate effect will be an increased ability to recruit, as they can point to growth and success stories. Ironically, this accelerated the inevitable fall, because it also means an increased number will 'fail', and this will accelerate the shrinking of the pool of potential recruits.

They will all reach saturation point (remember this is the point that they cannot replace the leavers with new recruits, not the point where everyone is drinking their gloop) sooner or later. This is inevitable, and true for all countries. How quickly they get there depends on a number of variables, but a major expansion would suggest the fall has been brought much closer.

Twentytwentyhindsight · 03/05/2018 08:58

On a different note, there are posts on Wig's timeline from people asking what's happening with the £50 car ponzi club, as they have 'invested' and it all seems to have gone quiet.

I wonder if the posts will be deleted or whether Wig will try to come up with some reassuring bollocks that "they are working on it behind the scenes"?

I have a feeling it might not be that long before she joins Sleaze in dropping under the radar for a while...

@Twentytwentyhindsight and as if by magic she's doing a 'Facebook clear out' to connect with a million new friends because her new opportunity is gonna explode.

Suspect poor old questioning car club bot won't be retained. (Not that I've got much sympathy, she seems to be peddling snake oil, magic coffee, weight loss shite, nail gibbons)

Twentytwentyhindsight · 03/05/2018 10:12

Nail gibbons?

Thank you for explaing @twenty and @dora
It's all becoming clear!!

Twentytwentyhindsight · 03/05/2018 11:21

@Nakedavenger74 - Phew, thought for a second that some new fresh hell of MLM nonsense had been unleashed and have been googling to try and work out what a nail gibbon could possibly be! Grin

Uh oh... no one saw this coming. It appears that Privilege Car Club might not be the best thing in the world after all. This is doing the rounds:
