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!

Wow. We are all wrong. She wasn’t sacked and did own her own bizniz and everyone likes her. Even the people she didn’t rip off and/or bully. That’s us told.

In other news, it’s NOT a wig, Broke is a secret millionaire and Yawn did actually get a cheque but she was too modest to allow anyone to put any pics on Facebook about it.

And 99.7% of people who get involved in MLM make full time wages for part time hours.

Ok.

SamanthaJib85 · 18/08/2018 13:29

Off you trot??? Lol. So what if she did so what if she didn't what the hell does any of it have to do with you??! You're just hate spouting bullshitters get a hobby and spread some love Jesus Christ you're all going to hell. I've never seen anything so pathetic in my life!!!! Even making up assumption on my life because I confront the bs you lot are sat in here discussing with your essay long posts day in day out. But oh. Wait. We've seen this before haven't we from you guys lol. Byeya!!!

Happypuppy · 18/08/2018 13:34

@samantha

U ok hun? You keep spouting stuff that barely makes sense except something about leaving then keep coming back?

SamanthaJib85 · 18/08/2018 13:43

Lol you keep tagging me. see what I mean no response to the topic at hand just spouting off shit nonstop you're all so hilarious. Doesn't make sense ?? yet you're all capable to discuss MLM and stalk something you claim to hate. Absolutely hilariously saddddd

SSDGM · 18/08/2018 13:51

These threads have opened the eyes of many people who were on the road to financially and emotionally destroying their families. Your fake sisterhood spreads more misery, more poverty.

No one is tagging you, you have notifications on. Switch them off.

Your behaviour is pure bot. Comes in, rattles the pans, stamps their feet, gets confronted with facts and then flounces.

Seen it all before.

Actually cannot understand a word.

Happypuppy · 18/08/2018 14:55

It seems that understanding is not a hun’s strong point. I see that @whiterangey is being tracked down using the, “Who do we know who drives a white Range Rover and is a mum?” method.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Spongebobette · 18/08/2018 15:33

Oh dear oh dear. I shall try to post with the utmost clarity so as not to confuse our newest poster.

This is the 42nd thread about MLMs.

Many of us discovered these threads after seeing a friend or relative get hooked into network marketing and we were looking for information.

We have heard from people who had escaped.
from MLM with debts and ruined relationships.

We began to look at the FB pages of ‘top’ people in MLMs and point out the lies, deceptions and clever strategies they use to get more recruits.

Some of us delved deeper and looked at the business case for MLMs and saw that it is impossible to create ‘financial independence’ by having an MLM business.

We point out the nonsense, for example people calling themselves ‘International Business Mentors’ when all they have done is pay out £200 to a company.

We point out the false health claims, unrealistic income claims, additional expenses required and so on.

We point out real examples of the above from real ‘bots’ who are all over social media

Spongebobette · 18/08/2018 15:37

PS I do understand you want to protect and defend your friend, @SamanthaJib85, that is why you came on here. You’ve made your point forcefully (and slightly incoherently but I think we have managed to understand your point)

Bloody hell. I saw the 42nd thread this morning so added it to my watch list. I go off to do some tidying spring clean, take a little break, and find I've missed all the incoherent fun!

Sorry I keep dropping out huns. I will find time again...one day!

HAAAAA. Sacked bot thinks there are 40 threads bullying her? Fuck, she does think highly of herself.

I love it when bots come and go on a massive rampage on here. Not prepared to listen to facts that they have been duped into a scam.

Btw Samantha... if you do truly own your own businesses, how was your friend sacked from Ariiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiix?

Whiterangey · 18/08/2018 17:16

@Spongebobette you are a superstar! Great thread title and start!!

Not going to lie, I realised a new thread was going to be needed and didn't. I was sick for a week and now i've come down with a cold, I think it's man flu that crossed species.

The way my brain is working the title would be "Why can they invent an ice cream maker but can't cure the common cold?"

It's a good thing they are bitching about us, while they are doing that they are leaving someone who may be vulnerable alone.

Here is something I never thought i'd have to say, I do not drive a white range rover, or a range rover, or any type of posh car. A white range rover is something that historically many bots have aspired to, I was being sarcastic.

I almost changed it once to PinkLambo, wish I had now.

Did I really have to explain that my username should not be taken literally? Does anyone think i'm literally a vehicle? That actually wouldn't shock me at the moment.

Sackedbyariiix · 18/08/2018 17:21

Good afternoon
Since you so freely discuss and attack me I thought it only fair I should be allowed to give some input I notice @whiterangey is very quiet today and unfortunately SHE DID SUPPORT the claims to cancel my family holiday so some points for you:

  1. Yes I was sacked from Ariix mainly because in most cases I actually agree with the disgusting behaviour shown and shared by your BOTS!
  2. No one can make an income from 15 minutes on their smart phone, it took me 100hr weeks and a lot of hard work but I genuinely created a life changing income for myself and others during my 5yrs in the industry.
  3. I dislike the way bots use obvious lies and half truths to promote their products and I’ve outted a number of them and had confrontations based on the damage they do and did to the industry.
  4. Yes many people fail in NWM as they do in any other industry or profession
  5. The only people I’ve upset to my knowledge is other BOTS I tried to expose or stood up
To including ex flp Ariix and tightwhitepantsariix too....... I walked from My first company when they changed the comp plan, my termination from my second company at 39 weeks pregnant made me and many others realise it’s not YOUR BUSINESS and that I agree on. However you all seemed to take great pleasure in that also which confuses me?
  1. A’s you pointed out I share your disbelief for certain messiah type organisations,
  2. My business is NOT MLM OR NWM it is an affiliate programme set to help People earn from SALES! Not recruiting, primarily we help women earn instant simple amounts it’s not 6 figure life changing amounts no! But it helps and I try to help anyone I can and have heard and been appalled by some of the NWM horror stories also. I have NEVER pushed anyone to recruit or buy product they cannot afford and NEVER would!
  3. The industry genuinely changed my life and I genuinely want to help other people regardless of what you think! I’ve ran both traditional
And online businesses and it seems none are exempt from haters and trolls.
  1. These attacksare personal, you encouraged and instigated the pain and upset caused to me and my family, I concur I should not of been foolish enough to post the booking ref and honestly had no idea that was even possible to do, so thank you for that lesson!
10. I cannot see how you feel it’s ok to attack me or anyone on here so personally while using cowardly sudonames? You all know who I am and appear to take great pleasure in pursuing me stalking my page and spouting defamation towards me! I cannot understand what I did to you to deserve this! 11. I’ve been honest about my misgivings... My mistakes and my journey. Yes I had it and I lost it all (it was taken from me by the exact kind of ppl you tarnish my name alongside!) 12. I’m not perfect but I am human and what you have done here effects me deeply and I’d love someone to explain to me how you can do and say these things with seemingly no conscience! It is the exact bullying behaviour you claim the BOTS display. 13. Where are these people I’ve bullied? Conned? Failed? Lied to? They don’t exist whatever you think I am a good person, a good mother and I’ve publicky denounced the bullshit in the industry also (a post you appear to have missed) 14. It’s because of people like you that others commit suicide! It’s evil And it’s vile behaviour! I am not responsible for all the misgivings of NWM and mlm I am not the pinnacle leader or claiming over inflated hype! 15. Empowering women and inspiring them is what I do (or try to do) and I believe I have done this a lot over the years in various different ways! 16. Not everyone will earn a full time income from any business they choose online or otherwise, sometimes that’s down to irresponsible education, bad advice, peer pressure, lack of effort and many many other reasons as with any industry there are always more failure stories than success stories! You all seem selective with the truth and the posts of mine you analyse and publicise on here, you seem biased and one sided your attempts to ridicule me! For your info I sold possessions I fairly earned to pay for a holiday for my family but thanks to you all and particularly whiterangey and ladiva1971 that was very nearly destroyed! And for what reason?! With what justification? What did I do to deserve that? I became one of the victims of mlm you claim to protect yet you make my life harder still?! I doubt any of you will respond to my points and will simply ridicule me more and that’s ok, you already hurt me enough! However you look at it you are punishing me and holding me responsible for others misgivings and I honestly don’t understand why? Maybe I never will. The industry is greedy money hungry and full of smoke and mirrors but as @shingles stated in her docu it did bring some joy to even her! That’s my aim with sirens to show it can be uplifting it can be bully and pressure free, it can be done without recruiting and you can do it without ridiculous sign up, monthly qualification and expensive products! You can call me crazy and I’m sure you will but at least I’ve had my say. For what it’s worth.
Whiterangey · 18/08/2018 17:42

@sackedbyariix Welcome to the forum.

Read this document, which basically sums up why nobody here likes MLM's as over 99% of participants either don't make any money, or lose money. So, while you were flying high in Ariiiiiix, over 99% of those under you, who you were making money off were actually either not making any money, or more likely were losing money.

www.ftc.gov/sites/default/files/documents/public_comments/trade-regulation-rule-disclosure-requirements-and-prohibitions-concerning-business-opportunities-ftc.r511993-00008%C2%A0/00008-57281.pdf

There are only very very few people who make money in MLM, over 99% don't and they lose money, friends, and self respect in the process.

I will admit I did joke about someone cancelling your holiday, probably in poor taste, but it was a joke. I did not cancel your booking. If that did truly happen then it was an awful thing to do to your kids, but instead of throwing wild accusations out all over facebook just wait until the police track down the person. I would also make a stink on TUI's facebook page and twitter about it. You haven't mentioned if they have refunded you or made things good, if they haven't then posting on their social media accounts tend to get a quicker and more agreeable outcome. They hate bad press and to be honest it is rather ridiculous that a holiday can be cancelled just by a booking number without them contacting you first to confirm, especially if it would mean you would lose all your money. If that is pointed out, on social media where potential customers can see it, they may do something.

Tw1nsetAndPearls · 18/08/2018 17:45

If you wanted to protect other women from the lies and financial downfall of MLM why not use your position to link to our threads rather than say that there are over 40 threads that bully your children - which is not true.

As somebody who had it all taken from you (only you know whether the accusations of bullying etc were true) just weeks before the birth of your child it is strange that you are encouraging portraying these threads as a bullying campaign directed at you rather than an attempt to prevent other vulnerable women being exploited by the fake claims of MLMs.

Sackedbyariiix · 18/08/2018 17:51

My holiday was cancelled online using my booking ref my email and my name I have had to pay £50 per person to reinstate it which I have done. I’ve contacted the police already and they are looking into it and I have had to submit a online form to tui because they don’t even have a complaints department.
In
Ariix I had a team of 2000 plus and I had 7 number 1 reps in 14 territories I’ve never fitted in in the industry and always taught very different approaches and methods. I’ve made numerous fulltime earners and my French leader who I made most of my income from is number 3 in the world for Ariix a number ofmy other team still hold very high ranks in the company and many people in that company earn off my hard work
Now which is the ultimate reason they wanted me out!
The uk market in NWM has struggled for sometime. That is fair to say! I am proud to not be like the rest I’ve alwaysspoken up for the lower ranks and that’s what has always gotten me shot down and singled out by the other bots if you looked close enough you would see that!
I’m Not a monster, I’m a mother just like many of you! Trying to piece back my life after loosing everything at the hands of bots and mlm so please at the very least look at the facts and don’t assume about me!
I made a mistake, lots of them
Infact but I’m learning from them as I go! I fought tooth and nail to keep my family home I learned many painful lessons over my time in the industry including this one

Sackedbyariiix · 18/08/2018 17:55

I said there were over 40 threads each of which had at least one often multiple references to me! Last night was the first time I’d e er heard of or seen any of them so I’m unsure how I could of linked them?
The claims of bullying came from the woman who I knocked off the top spot
The same woman who claims to have earned 250k a year for the last 4yrs yet on the docu said 100k over three years?! She claimed that number 1 spot she proudly titles herself with by stealing it from me and lying to turn others against me! Where are these stories of bullying from the masses?
