Has anyone addressed the frankly outrageous health and weight loss claims made by Bradfordbot last week? Like “you can lose 10lbs in 5 days” kind of claims and “if you have XYZ condition I PROMISE this will help you because Mushrooms”.

Surely after Valentus she should know infinitely better? The instant coffee coffee shop seems to have disappeared by the wayside too.

Wig is now supporting a “paypex” coin, which changes to the word “Pauper” on predictive text. Apt!

Broke is also making outrageous claims on the efficacy of his snake CBD oil and then deleting them soon after. His fury at the data breach by Top Evolution Bot seems to be completely forgotten about.

The dinner for the Saba Launch seems to have attracted less than 20 people, including what looks like the children of the bots in attendance. Yep, looks like WelshPTBot has bought a pup again.

Derbybot is guest speaker at an event next April that has tickets available for just £227 for two days (including gala dinner) - if you want accommodation included and a special talking to with lunch it’s just an additional £250. If you want to pay in instalments that will cost you an extra £20 per ticket. May be worth a watch to see how it sells.

I just read a Paypex review. Its conclusions will come as no surprise to anyone on, or reading, this thread, Wink

Nakedavenger74 · 20/05/2018 07:14

Watched a live posted by a Saba bot. There were around about 16 attendees at the feted launch including top PT bot himself in his horrible suit and various presenters. 3 people per table. Looked terribly sad but doesn't stop the bots foaming at the mouth about 'amazing day', 'incredible things coming, watch me or join me' along with their pomagne toasts.

I'll watch thanks.

Does the Scottish yoga teaching and health coach FL Bot have a name on here? She seems high up - her name (along with a male partner) is on the 2015 senior manager list in the latest Bot Watch blog post - I am just not sure if she ever features here under a pseudonym?

Twentytwentyhindsight · 20/05/2018 08:46

I think I have seen that bot given the imaginative monicker of 'top Scottish yoga bot' or something similar. She hasn't featured much of late. I'm not even sure she was in Dallas.

Kathysclown · 20/05/2018 09:04

Thanks @Twenty.

On one of his posts hawking the SLEEP snake oil, a parent asks if it would be suitable for a 3 year old.

One of his fellow bots says it's fine for anyone over the age of 2.

Here is what Broke replies:
"I know the oil is the sleep has melatonin in to so would be at parents discretion but it's safe and natural so why not xx"

There are a few things wrong with this. While Melatonin is a naturally occurring hormone, that used is supplements is synthetic. This is the least of the problems, though.

While studies show that melatonin is "likely effective for several sleep issues", and "likely safe for most people when taken for a short-term", there are a number of contexts in which it shouldn't be taken, including during pregnancy, breastfeeding or when trying to conceive. A review of the evidence concludes "Children or adolescents should not use melatonin supplements as melatonin may interact with other hormones and interfere with their development."

This is why Melatonin is a regulated drug in the UK, and only available through a prescription from a real doctor (sorry Broke) who will determine it is safe in the given circumstances.

This is also why it is illegal for quacks such as himself to flog this stuff to the public. You are endangering children you fool! You make a lot about how much your kids matter to you, but you are more than happy to put other people's children at risk for a fast buck. YOU ARE A GOBSHITE AND A CHARLATAN OF THE LOWEST ORDER, AND I AM REPORTING YOU TO TRADING STANDARDS.

Twentytwentyhindsight · 20/05/2018 09:13

Thanks Dora.

Dogjustguffed · 20/05/2018 09:17

I do wish the replies to the FL Tweethad kept Yawn out of it. They comments are fuel for her bullied victim narrative, and won’t influence any of her under-bots to question FL or think about leaving- in fact, I think the comments will reinforce the ‘haters’ label for the anti MLM movement.

Replies talking more generically about the collapse of FL are spot on though- bravo.

PerryPerryThePlatypus · 20/05/2018 10:13

Messiahs poor deluded disciples are practically orgasming all over FB about the new products.

Paddy1234 · 20/05/2018 10:44

Don't worry too much about Yawn and anti bullying - in the persuit of her goal she will stop at nothing so softly softly tactics will never work. Anyhow she got the popularity vote last years for a big awards ceremony so she knows she is universally liked and respected by everyone. In her most recent post she said she is telling a pregnant lady not to drink aloe as you shouldn't introduce new foods when you are pregnant - shout me down but I have never ever heard that! Ok raw chicken and eggs - yes - but no new foods?!? It leans towards Aloe is not safe to drink ...........

Paddy1234 · 20/05/2018 10:47

Just read that in October 2017 the US recommended not drinking aloe Vera juice whilst pregnant and breastfeeding - so not new foods just their juice - thanks for that Yawn!

Paddy1234 · 20/05/2018 10:51

And they market it to new mothers as a business

Paddy1234 · 20/05/2018 10:55

So she recommends drinking aloe juice whilst pregnant against the medical advice ............. Nice one

Nakedavenger74 · 20/05/2018 11:04

Back onto Saba and more poor spelling. Top PT bot has thanked everyone for 'enduring an amazing day'. Little does he know how accurate he is.
It's probably time for them all to emerge their supper soft feet.

entrepeneur · 20/05/2018 12:41

@Nakedavenger74 What is Saba flogging? The usual shakes and coffee weight loss shite?

dickiedavisthunderthighs · 20/05/2018 12:43

It was the Networking Mummies awards last night. Yawn seems to have gone on her own. She didn't win in her nominated category, despite all her efforts. Not having the greatest year so far is she?!

BangingOn · 20/05/2018 12:56

Absolutely PMSL at Messiah’s “it’s coming” post with a badly lit photo of him walking down a corridor. He must be taking the piss now.

Whatsaldigottodowithit · 20/05/2018 13:11

Scot yoga bot was on the stage last year, this year got a level 1 cheque so was in with everyone else opening. Seems that the vast majority of her team who got cheques last year didn’t this year, and the one who did hasn’t been photographed with hers despite plastering it everywhere last year.

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 20/05/2018 13:48

Looks like Yawn lost out to the Tropic bot in the Networking Mummies awards last night. No wonder she's not mentioned it.

FleeBee · 20/05/2018 14:28

I wonder if I'm blocked / restricted by Roomie, I can only see posts from 2017 - nothing from this year.
Yawn blocked me ages ago, yet I've not interacted with her page & I live hundreds of miles away so not met. How does she know ?!!!!
I liked reading & being inspired by success hun Sad

MLMsuperfan · 20/05/2018 14:30

It's quite common for bots to have a big post cull (from public view at least). In some cases they aren't too careful so among the topmost posts are from previous MLMs a year or so back!

Whiterangey · 20/05/2018 14:59

@FleeBee I think you are getting confused between Roomie and BFF, BFF has culled posts. Can you see a post regarding bells? If that is the only post you can see since 2017 that is BFF and not Roomie.

You might also find yourself blocked if you've ever liked a page like Botwatch or Timeless Vie or commented on there.
