This is the 42nd thread in a long series about the dangers of network marketing/ MLMs such as Forever Living, Ariix, NuSkin, Arbonne, Younique, TS Life, and MANY MANY more!
Posts here will give examples of the lies told by 'top bots' who portray luxury lifestyles in order to lure in new victims and of the other techniques and brainwashing used by MLMs
Over 90% of people who join an MLM end up LOSING money. Always bear that in mind when considering paying money to join!

...and skid mark proof. What with all the weight loss gimmicks they sell.

BSintolerant · 01/09/2018 21:51

Ha! I own a pair of judgy pants which are MLM-proof. The only cult that's got anywhere near my gusset was out by a consonant. Grin

@BSIntolerant I am in awe

BSintolerant · 01/09/2018 22:57

Grin We need a laugh, so I'm glad if I've raised a titter, or an eyebrow.

@Paddy1234 I'm glad you're in awe and not in orr (as it's spelt in Botshite).

Another person with a friend who's fallen victim to the evil that is MLM.

The Bot Watch page on facebook has something VERY interesting on it.

Talking about rumours that Smile Enhance has had it's stock seized by Trading Standards.

In the comments someone who has been having a long running feud with the owner of Smile Enhance has posted a video, the comments on that video and of course the video itself appear to show what is claimed, the confiscation of the product by TS.

Something to do with peroxide in it.

I don’t understand why Wig’n’Sleaze think living in short term rent apartments and 3 star hotels is “the life”.. surely this means they own nothing more than they can carry with them. They are essentially homeless. There are some lovely luxury apartments on Swansea Marina and where Sleaze is from is full of great quality places to live in exclusive areas. If they were wiping their bums on tenners like they say, you’d think they would be staying in one of those, using it as a pied a terre to complement their jetset lifestyle (12 flights a year, don’t forget!). You notice we never see the interior of the place they are staying either.

ArbunneHun · 02/09/2018 09:16

Smile Enhance Network is really iffy. There has been rumours about the owner’s dodgy practises for ages - not paying commission, deliveries always late, terminating people if they complain or question, importing cheap (possibly dangerous/illegal) teeth-whitening kits from China & selling on at a huge profit. That said, she’s been operating this awful scam for at least a year and nothing has been done about it. It’s the Wild West out in MLM land. You can get away with so much before - IF - you get stopped. There isn’t the resources or interest to protect victims.

ArbunneHun · 02/09/2018 09:22

Wig ‘n’ Sleaze are doing lifestyle marketing all wrong. They’re supposed to be sending photos from Bali or Dubai, not Swansea or Birmingham. And if you’re genuinely not travelling abroad for personal reasons (Sleaze mentioned his son), then at least book into a luxury boutique hotel, or a quirky Air B&B with a four poster or a hot tub. No, these two are definitely homeless - if not staying on the move to avoid their creditors from catching up with them. You can’t send the bailiffs in if you don’t have a fixed address.

Whiterangey · 02/09/2018 12:13

If they both went to work for McDonalds they would actually be earning money right now and could work towards getting a home, even if it was just a room in a house share.

Instead they are too busy scamming, which they aren't very good at considering they are broke and homeless.

acatcalledjohn · 02/09/2018 12:58

Sleaze has admitted to not having a home thanks to bitcoin.

I should add that this is in the context of making bitcoin sound good.

(We still cannot share redacted FB screenshots, can we?)

How many creditors do you think they have?

SSDGM · 02/09/2018 13:16

There’s at least 2 CCJs we know about. There could be more. They’ve borrowed cash all over the place. They never said a thing about their car club thing after it went tits up too. Also, didn’t she sign up with Monat?

acatcalledjohn · 02/09/2018 13:37

I dunno. Her hair still appears intact...

ArbunneHun · 02/09/2018 14:09

@acatcalledjohn mate, that’s not her hair...

Whiterangey · 02/09/2018 14:09

Yup, she signed up for Monat, as well as many many Ponzi's. With the Ponzi's they are all about how it's the next big thing and they are making lots of money, and then nothing.

Mize was one of the latest, although that hasn't been mentioned recently.

I imagine they have borrowed money from lots of people, not to mention other loans from banks etc. They have also scammed money from lots of people, I wouldn't be surprised if some of those people are also after them for money.

Whiterangey · 02/09/2018 14:10

@ArbunneHun It is her hair.

She paid for it.

Actually ignore that, she probably still owes money on it.

BSintolerant · 02/09/2018 14:19

Is her hair classed as an unsecured asset? The bailiffs might take it away but I fear it takes on a life of its own when she's not wearing it. Imagine it going on the rampage and frightening the cockroaches in the B&B ...

acatcalledjohn · 02/09/2018 14:31

Oh, is that one of the CCJs?

I stopped myself from putting wig in my post... Halo

Whiterangey · 02/09/2018 15:24

@BSintolerant Grin

She could always hide her hair by using it as a Merkin

acatcalledjohn · 02/09/2018 15:48

She'd need these if hiding her hair down there...

Are Wig and sleaze anything to do with FL? I don't think I know who they are!

acatcalledjohn · 02/09/2018 17:06

No, they are cryptocurrency bots. #TMANOE

BSintolerant · 02/09/2018 17:15

@acatcalledjohn Grin Thank you for making me laugh out loud in a railway station.

I know I've said it before, but a merkin mlm would be an orrsum opportunity. We could introduce a range of enormous Harvest Festivals to the range to ensure that all is safely gathered in. Wink
