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.

@arbunnehun noooo way! I hope they had some fantastic advice as to how to get in without anyone clocking it 😉 😂😂

Yawn is deffo reading these boards. She posted about her relaxing weekend with the family. Hi Yawn!

SoftlyCatchyMonkey1 · 07/05/2018 21:51

I remember I was at a Success Day once and got talking to someone there who a bit like me hadn't been in it long. She asked me how I was finding being in Flp. I said I was finding it challenging. Her upline shot me a look I will never forget!
I'd be very interested to see a behind the scenes program about an mlm!!!

Paddy1234 · 07/05/2018 21:57

Do I remember correctly that Yawn was a nursery assistant before she started FL - so going back into the real world is going to be very very frightening to be earning minimum wage or slightly above.

Paddy1234 · 07/05/2018 22:00

But needs must and all that.

Paddy1234 · 07/05/2018 22:05

The amount of scrolling through her posts I am in serious danger of outing myself and accidentally liking some 😂 However one of the likes of her more recent post has a post offering 25% off any product #rot has set in

Tizzlebizzle · 07/05/2018 22:07

Oh ffs - seen on Facebook:
"As some of you are aware I’m organising a wedding fair and wondered if anyone is intrested in exhibiting?

Places still to fill our
Bridalwear , cars, photography, photo booth, stationary , sweet cart and florist also possibly a skin care like younique or forever living ? If you do anything else feel free to message me as more the merrier also anything random or quirky I love 🙂"

There is no hope.

ArbunneHun · 07/05/2018 22:08

Can’t think who they’d’ve spoken to about that @Shingles... they’d definitely need someone who’d been involved, I reckon.

Mystery, that one.

ArbunneHun · 07/05/2018 22:14

If any bots are reading this and are worried that it’s maybe one of their groups that’s been infiltrated by an investigative journalist, I’m sure you’ve got nothing to worry about!

Unless of course you’ve done any of the following:

Made exaggerated income claims
Made health claims
Bullied anyone
Faked a lifestyle
Encouraged personal use above retailing
Encouraged downlines to ‘buy’ their promotions
‘Helped’ downlines to reach targets to that you could qualify for a trip or a bonus
Told people to retail NFR/illegal product
Applied pressure to get people who can’t afford it to invest in the services of your preferred ‘mindset’ coach

I’m sure none of you have ever done even one of the above, so you’ll all be fine...

Sleep well Halo

Paddy1234 · 07/05/2018 22:39

Does anyone know when the company is holding the next success/training/money spinner day - surely the days of hiring out the NEC are long gone - it will be interesting to see where it is held and also the camera angles to portray packed whooping crowd.

Paddy1234 · 07/05/2018 23:18

And Yawn - if you are reading this - I am in your neck of the woods and no one is talking about FL anymore and the product has died a death - everyone knows of at least one failed FL person and are not willing to go down that route no matter how you try to portray it.

Paddy1234 · 07/05/2018 23:20

And it was the talk of the town the fixing of the 'popularity' vote.

BSintolerant · 07/05/2018 23:36

Arbunne Grin

Sleep well indeed! I'd add "Don't have nightmares" to your good wishes, but that would be a lie. Some bots will be having reverse anxiety dreams. Instead of being chased by a big plastic cheque and waking up in a cold sweat, they are chasing after a big plastic cheque in a hall of unflattering, distorted mirrors (and other reflective surfaces).

Whiterangey · 08/05/2018 00:33

@ArbunneHun

"Applied pressure to get people who can’t afford it to invest in the services of your preferred ‘mindset’ coach"

Wow! That one wouldn't have occured to me.

@Paddy1234 Ooooh! That is interesting, and would explain why she had to take a very scary journey to the scariest of scary places, Norfolk.

Am I right in thinking that they have banned MLM's since then?

Talking of fake smiles and online training Roomie and her team were involved in some sort of online presentation last night (Bank Holiday Monday remember!) for over 500 people.

If there's any truth in the numbers then that's 500 people (ie. bots) who have given up their bank holiday family time to watch other brainwashed bots spout the same old shit that they've probably heard several times over.

NatashaShingles · 08/05/2018 08:37

I never really took to Uber, she was always lacking any emotion when she spoke about how its all for her team! Course it is! Anyway after reading her book I got quite emotional reading how she had been a single parent and suffered with depression, I messaged her to say how brave I thought she was. Well her reply was pretty much along the lines of "thanks, heres the link to buy tickets for my managers academy" ..... needless to say I didn't buy one. Infact in my entire 3 years with FL I never once attended any of the Powerteam trainings or events. Shes not nice about other leaders either including BS yet still shes sat there at the top pretending to be a nice person!

NatashaShingles · 08/05/2018 08:38

@ohmygod more like 50!

Whiterangey · 08/05/2018 08:38

There was definitely 100% totally without a doubt absolutely, no doubt about it. There is actually proof in her post. She has attached a screengrab of the actual online training and if you look up in the top left there is the number of people watching the aforementioned training and it says 500 next to the little eye symbol.

Wait, my bad, it says 9. Totally not her fault i'm sure we all have our own stories on how we mistook 9 for 500.

PMSL you're right Grin Grin (

Paddy1234 · 08/05/2018 09:08

Whiterangey 😂
I hope they realise soon that no product is being sold in the UK at anything near previous levels and the market will never recover. A simple website could sustain the people wanting to place orders. But it was never about that was it? With the top ten now trying to manoeuvre abroad, I wonder how the business 'leaders' in those countries feel about them coming over. Wait for the invitations to start drying up soon .........

NatashaShingles · 08/05/2018 09:14

@whiterangey are you sure?? Are you sure it says 9? Not 500? It must be 500 because she said so and its on facebook! You're just a negative hater!

Nakedavenger74 · 08/05/2018 09:18

Surely it's not only me who is disproportionately irritated by roomie's grin. Look at every photo it's the same grin.

Paddy1234 · 08/05/2018 09:39

Credit where credits due though. To be able to post such uplifting posts in the face of adversity is brave or really stupid. I am going for really stupid.
