I really want to comment CAKE!

Yawn has posted her mugshot from the makeover day. She looks perfectly nice but I couldn't work out what was wrong. Then I realised the photo was taken straight towards her. Rather than the camera being at a 45 degree above (classic flattering angle).

I don’t think I mentioned about the bad spelling mistakes. I think that might have come from Timeless Vie.

Brokebot's done a new live. Lots of eyebrow raising health claims about the snake CBD oil. He's now binary qualified and making four figures a month.

Paddy1234 · 16/05/2018 22:08

Such a strange situation. Here we are watching them and visa versa. Castle and cronies - if you are reading this, as I am sure you are, No, we are not jealous 'haters', we are your 'wanted' demographic. However we would not touch your unethical business model with your over priced product, that favours the fortunate 1%, with a barge pole.

Whiterangey · 16/05/2018 22:37

OMG! @Toobusytowee is not working her biznis and giving us the article.

Her upline won't get a cheque next year if she doesn't get on with it.

I think we are all a bit eager for this one.

Difference is that we can be open about it.

We have nothing to hide, and are providing a public service to warn people about their underhand behaviour.

We also, as stated earlier, provide them with a free proofreading and copy-editing service.

Come on Yawn, you can do better and improve the copy and paste from Uber!

Hint: super, not supper; immerse, not emerge...

If you play nicely and sort those two out, we'll provide you with the rest!

If bad speeling and grammor worked, Brokebot would be a billionaire by now.

Sort the basics out, Yawn, and we can move on to punctuation. (I sooo hope I got that right!)

SSDGM · 16/05/2018 22:53

Wow! Four figures a month! Amazing! 🙄

ArbunneHun · 16/05/2018 22:58

It was me who shared the bad grammar insight. We do a lot of investigations into financial scams at work and that’s an acknowledged tactic that works to engage less rigorous/questioning targets.

Anyone who overlooks poor spelling/bad grammar is more likely to engage with the scam.

Paddy1234 · 16/05/2018 23:00

Absolutely LOVE Castles graph.
Statistical analysis at its finest.
A GCSE question in the making on how to dupe people.
A real life study on what was omitted 😂
I think the title should be 'volume of bots ripped off' but I am sure others can find a more apt title

Toobusytowee · 16/05/2018 23:04

Sorry Whiterangey! I was trying to find more information and images to illustrate my points. I've published it now. I'll go back in and add more details as I think of them.

Salon made me giggle. She posted a photo of the inside of her car saying about one of her main attributes to her success is being hours early for everything.

She says she is sat in the car until an appropriate time to say she left early.

The clock on the centre castle reads 9:12am and she appears to have either stripey trousers or pyjamas on, and it appears she may be wearing slippers.

She has probably just dropped the kids off at school and is about to go back home to watch Jezza Kyle and plan her next scam.

@Paddy1234 - Given the dates on the x-axis of the chart, the y-axis may represent senior FLP bots' sphincter tension as cheque day approaches?

Toobusytowee · 16/05/2018 23:40

I've come across a great article by a mental wellness group that have looked into the damage MLMs can do if you have metal health problems or are recovering from addiction. It is a great read and has loads of examples. coloradomentalwellnessnetwork.org/colorado-mental-wellness-network-blog/special-reports/mlm-recovery/

Whiterangey · 16/05/2018 23:50

Oh wow @Toobusytowee

That is an amazing article, I especially loved the graphs.

So the tenth highest earner last year in Forever Living Products UK is not only broke, but has unpaid tax of £115k! Of which there appears to be £63k that she cannot pay.

I'm not an expert, but that doesn't appear to be someone who is smashing it.

The drop in promotions is amazing, the totallynotapyramid cannot survive like that. If that is what the supervisor promotions numbers look like, the drop in FBO's on the very bottom must be decreasing at a much faster rate than the rate the supervisors are decreasing.

The next lot of accounts from FLP UK are going to be interesting.

Thank you for the article, it is bloody brilliant!

That was a fantastic read, @Toobusytowee Thank you.

cozietoesie · 17/05/2018 00:06

Good article. Thanks, Toobusy. Smile

Toobusytowee · 17/05/2018 00:34

Thanks for your encouragements. It has been quite good being able to provide solid evidence that the big cheques and perceived success is not all it seems to be. We are always saying that such a small percentage earn any actual money. You can see it now in black and white.

CodLiverOil556 · 17/05/2018 01:21

Brilliant read @Toobusytowee, really shows the mechanics of FLP and what a scam it is. Well done...let's hope the bottom has fallen out of this inverted funnel!

Lonelybutnice · 17/05/2018 07:19

If anyone has time for another bot to watch on Facebook, homeschools husband is interesting as a 'self esteem coach' Hmm
