MLM Bot Watch 39 - After taking a year off we are back with no cheque, no hope, but new products!

The first 5 people who comment 'Botshite' win a free pampering session!

The headshot that Yawn had done is so good that only days later she has replaced it with one of her about to make beautiful love to her handbag.

Seriously though, why is she about to kiss her bag, is this a thing or something?

She did reserve a full table of 10 at the awards, i'm guessing for either her Networking Mummies group or her downline bots, whoever wanted to spend £50 per ticket. The last time I looked before her table got cancelled and returned back to the general ticket sales only 2 tickets had been sold, so her and her husband.

That is a sign of decline if her downline aren't willing to invest in stroking her ego.

Scottish yoga bot was hiring a PA this time last year. They seem to have disappeared from sight shortly after ‘hiring’. Her sister also is in FL and got no cheque this year.

Is anyone else getting an error message when they try to get on to the Behind MLM website? I know it’s been subject to malicious attacks before, hope everything is ok.

I just can't get into it at all.

Uh oh.

I don’t know whether anyone talks to Oz, but I do hope the site it back up soon and that everything is ok.

I do wonder how Networking Mummies UK chose a winner from the best individual representative within direct sales category.

What would you look for? Who scams the most people? Who has managed to stay in the longest without going bankrupt? Who got the biggest cheque?

I believe it's judged by 3 judges, so how do they choose? It can't be anything on paper showing one is better than another so do they just stick a pin in a list or something?

I really want to know.

@ArbunneHun - Same here "temporary server error".

@Whiterangey - I expect it's who's sold most tickets to the event.

I see has removed networking mummies from her profile too.

There goes another of her prospecting ventures.

Too many bots from other companies and people with other interests for it to be worth continuing to pay for the franchise.

What with the franchise payments, seats at the awards (at which she didn't even win the specially created MLM award), the money for the rictus shot and sundry other out of pocket expenses, not the most successful of her escapades...

Anyone know who/what Bixby is that has got Messiah riled?

How much is a networking mummies franchise? I thought a franchise usually comes with a minimum sign-up term.

I see she has removed networking mummies from her profile too

Well spotted!

When you searched for her on fb before it used to be under her profile photo and name, with no mention of FL. Now it's not on her intro/bio bit either.

Absolutely disgusted to see FL have a stand at the SFN expo in October, a fitness and nutrition expo. Not impressed at all

New logo for Messiah's company for "the little guy" causes me pain!

Yawn is still an admin of her networking mummies group. She only set that up as a recruiting ground for forever living. Given that all those who wanted to join the group either had proper businesses and would know that MLM doesn't work out for 99% of people, or were in their own MLM's and were after the same, it's not surprising.

Given how easily she won the wonderful worcester women award or whatever it was on a public vote she must have thought this would be an easy award to win as well.

The nomination was easy, she just got her downline to nominate her. Winning is slightly harder, and considering her downline are broke because she has encouraged them to spend all of their money to make her money, nobody would have any money to pay £50 to attend the awards thing.

In anything to do with proper business women, she will not even be looked at as she isn't a proper business woman, far from it.

Not that Networking Mummies held proper business awards anyway as giving out awards to MLM's shows you haven't got a clue about what a proper business is and how to recognise that.

Evening, folks. Just popping by to remind everyone that while we're happy to have discussion of MLMs in principle, we don't think it's on to be outing the people who work for them or trying to identify them in real life. It might feel a bit intimidating.

Thanks for your cooperation.

I think I may have overdone it with the awards stuff.

My apologies, i'll be more attentive to the rules.

@Whatsaldigottodowithit That is disgusting that Forever Living have a stall at the SFN expo.

When Herbalife was sponsoring the Great North Run I think it was, can anyone remember how they went about getting it stopped?

All of those people going to the expo not realising that FL's business model is about recruitment and the products they sell are only second to that, that is wrong.

Fair enough @HebeMumsnet.

When Great Run talked about partnering with Herbalife there was a mass email/Twitter/Facebook campaign along with many fitness bloggers writing about the danger and unproven claims of their products.

Could be another time to
Mobilise the troops and contact their PR dept.

Oops, sorry! Although I’m still not sure whether that’s even a person or the name of another MLM.

And now I’ve realised it’s Samsung’s equivalent of Siri . I am not an early adopter of technology.
