MLM Bot Watch 42

999 replies

Spongebobette · 18/08/2018 12:09

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!

What you actually said was:

so when I read the 40 plus threads and hundreds of comments of hate and anger towards me and my family it shook me to the core

That does imply that the threads were a bullying campaign against you.

If you have read the threads you could have linked them, you seem quite savvy about social media to me.

Whiterangey · 18/08/2018 18:16

With TUI I would also go the social media route, sucks they only have online complaints, talking to a real person is always better. Never thought i'd be helping you but here I am, I take it you got a booking confirmation email when you originally booked the holiday? Does it state anywhere on that email that you shouldn't share your booking confirmation number with anyone? If it doesn't, then that would be a route to go down.

Finding out who did it won't be difficult for the police, they will get the IP from TUI and will be able to trace it to the exact device that did it. It may take some time, but they will get there.

Tw1nsetAndPearls · 18/08/2018 18:18

I have just come home from a holiday that we had to scrimp and save for. i also had to sell things to afford it. If it was cancelled by somebody else and the company charged me for that - I would be playing merry hell all over social media

Sackedbyariiix · 18/08/2018 18:23

@Tw1nsetandpearls I was referring to the hundreds of comments in thread 41 with reference to my holiday, my stupidity and my family! I have the MANY SCREENSHOTS OF! Yes I’m social media savvy but I made a foolish mistake with the booking ref! I didn’t even notice it in my excitement! I spoke to the customer service agent at tui who advised the booking ref should not be given out (obviously I’m not stupid and I understand this) but for it to be so easily accessed is just beyond me?! It takes you to data with my children’s DOB and my home address hence the complaint to them! The GDPR surely should protect us from This? The facts are I believe it was created and caused by this thread of which I do hold you partly responsible for and myself also! I still don’t know what I did to encourage that particularly virile and nasty attack?
Whiterangey I appreciate your input I’m
Just astounded that you all openly declare bots as liars yet are quick to believe their lies and claims about me? It doesn’t make sense

CodLiverOil556 · 18/08/2018 18:24

Good grief...just been reading the comments on sacked FB! Apparently we're all jealous, bitter and massive haterz.

CodLiverOil556 · 18/08/2018 18:27

You have absolutely no comeback though @Sackedbyariiix as YOU put them on a very open Facebook page...it's akin to posting your bloody PIN number online and I'm sure you wouldn't do that

Tw1nsetAndPearls · 18/08/2018 18:30

our input I’mJust astounded that you all openly declare bots as liars yet are quick to believe their lies and claims about me? It doesn’t make sense
I don't think that any of us believe anything that any bot says. Whether you are a bot or not is beyond me - it all seems like smoke and mirrors

Hold my hands up and accept that and it was a silly mistake an error which I paid for dearly! Does that make this ok and acceptable then?

Sackedbyariiix · 18/08/2018 18:33

@Tw1nsetandpearls I agree 99% if it IS! But we aren’t all like that why do you think the other bots denounce me so vehemently? Why do you think I
Denounce them so vehemently? I don’t support it or agree with any of it but it seems I’m attacked from both sides either way no matter what I do?

CodLiverOil556 · 18/08/2018 18:36

@Sackedbyariiix of course it doesn't but can't you see how your putting your own family in danger by posting your own life on FB? You have literally given the green light to thieves to rob your house! The reason these threads were started was to stop people from joining MLM...it's a vile industry that needs proper regulation.

These people that put their whole world on FB boasting about this, that and the other saying it's all because of their 'business' it's all bollocks and we wanted to shed some light and expose it for what it is.

SSDGM · 18/08/2018 18:37

Sounds to me that you are actually on the same side as us. You’ve seen the danger of MLM. You know inside out that it’s actually dangerous.

Can you seriously say - hand on heart- your downline didn’t lose money or were not told to buy product that they couldn’t afford for those above to become Garage Qualified? You can’t.

You have more in common with those of us who have watched, dismayed, while MLM has destroyed friendships and relationships and finances that you could ever know.

Someone cancelling your holiday was actually disgusting. Absolutely vile. But you can’t point your finger this way when you admit that you have people on both sides of the MLM coin who aren’t fond of you.

If you read these threads you will see that they are a mixture of posters being horrified that vulnerable people have been brainwashed into the cult of MLM and then mocking the absolute lies those who get further upthe pyramid will tell to advance their own interests off the back of those vulnerable people.

Did you not watch the collapse of the coffee MLMs this time last year until Xmas from behind your fingers like the rest of us?

Like it or not, you’re actually one of us and your influence could actually empower women even more by educating them that MLM is not the way. I’m sure those in the Anti MLM coalition would be keen to speak with you. And you would be very welcome.

Whiterangey · 18/08/2018 18:38

To be fair, and going by the law, it doesn't matter if someone does give out information, even a pin number, to use that to either commit theft and fraud is a crime. That loophole is used most by banks to not give money back if it has been stolen.

I know someone who had their card stolen and got tricked into giving their pin number, bank wouldn't refund the money, but the police still investigated.

Sackedbyariiix · 18/08/2018 18:49

@SSDGM yes hand on heart I CAN!! I’ve been in 4 companies and success in all with MANY OTHER SUCCESS STORIES TOO! I’ve used my network to support and build many other businesses I used my income to help girls hit bonuses passed my own sales, passed reps and MUCH MORE! I did this to help others succeed I only got the incomes I did by helping others EARN! It’s not about 6 figure earners it’s helping others have ENOUGH! An extra £100 a week! Ppl don’t get it I’ve NEVER ENCOURAGED THIS bullshit high buy in high earn bullshit I stood my ground many times to corporate to my detriment that I can PROVE
I WAS LEFT WITH NOTHING a week before Christmas for 4 yrs of hard work
For these bots you compare me to to take my money my hard work for their own ego and glory and I could do NOTHING!
Trust me I hate MLM too but it DID CHANGE MY LIFE and do believe it’s a way to help ppl even just with gas and. Electric! I had NOTHING it gave me everything! Then it took it all back again
I’m just trying to do what I know and love if you can find one person in my downline ever that got into debt because of me or my leadership! Then I will agree wholeheartedly but I don’t believe it to be true and I believe that alone is why I had the success I did because I did it and do it differently.
You will likely pick me apart and disbelieve me but they are the facts!
I’m Not hiding I’m Here, I screwed up you taught me a lesson but I just wanted you to know I’m not who you claim me to be

We are all very good at hitting balls on here Marty!
Love how incoherent bots are on here, as well as on their Facebook pages.

Stilton, cheddar, or gruyere? Grin

Spongebobette · 18/08/2018 19:28

Welcome to the thread.
Do I understand you correctly, you agree that MLMs are a bad thing and full of lies and deception?
I am very sorry that your holiday was cancelled and, as I said in the last thread, I hope it wasn’t anyone on here as it was really mean.
I’m afraid you have become well known because you were sacked by Ariix and therefore an object lesson in how MLMs are NOT the way to a secure financial future.

@spongebobbette I’m
Happy to share with any one of you privately the absolute bullshit around that I have emails and proof
They actually sacked me with no notice for wait for it cross recruiting for fu£&ing bitcoin! I bought 2 bloody packs for £100 and recommended a few friends I’m not interested in crypto I just didn’t wanna miss the boat as it was I lost my money in that too 🙄
The leaders wanted me out I can prove it and tell you why too!
I was way too vocal
About the fact I hated what they were doing and caused a shitstorm because my team
We’re suffering too!
The reasons were utter bollox I was never given
Proof! The ceo made a video claiming they offered me financial support for my ongoing long term mental health issues that I refused?! Wtf that ex flp Ariix secretly recorded and shared with her downline!
You guys really have no idea

Spongebobette · 18/08/2018 19:42

I think we do have some idea, because many people have shared their stories about the bitchiness behind the MLM facade.

Sounds like we are on the same side.

Personally I am absolutely furious when I see vulnerable women, often new mums who are dreading leaving their babies and going back to work, persuaded to part with money they can’t afford to become ‘business owners’. As you have sadly discovered, you are never a business owner, just a rep.

So if I am a example of a victim of mlm I
Don’t understand why I fell victim to the events that since unfolded? It’s been the hardest year second only to losing my son and the Online bullying I received then, I just don’t get it and it’s really got to me. I know it’s done now and makes no difference to any of you really but I wanted to confront it and not make myself anymore if a victim tbh it seems every one is hell bent on making me feel like one! Whoever did do
It was bang out of order with regret I did blame someone very close to me in
Anger which makes it even worse. There is reaction for every action and I just hope it makes you think before going in so hard on another woman in future without knowing all the facts, I’m
Not a bitch and I’m
Not a BOT. I’m just a woman and mother trying to do my best for myself and my family and anyone else that I can along the way il leave it here but if Any if you wish to

Have a good weekend

Spongebobette · 18/08/2018 19:44

PS Bitcoin and crypto currencies are the latest and worst MLM/ Pyramid/ Ponzis. They don’t even have a real product to give a semblance of respectability.

OP posts:
Tw1nsetAndPearls · 18/08/2018 19:45

@Sackedbyariiix is Sirens not an MLM? You very carefully say that you don't need to recruit not that there is no recruiting?
That is a genuine question

SSDGM · 18/08/2018 19:45

But we do. We really have every idea.

Look at what happened to High Street Honey Bot with Valentus (who jumped straight to Ariix)

Salon Bot is clearly a crook

You already agree with us that Messiah is going to run away with the money.

We know that Wig and Sleaze are recruiting people from third world countries to a Ponzi scheme. We also knew their car club pyramid was doomed to collapse.

We knew Broke's AMAZING travel agency was a pyramid even before he did and predicted its demise.

Everything Elle Beau and botwatch and Red Corvette have said on the MLMcoalition has been utterly true.

We knew the ingredients and health claims of Valentus were illegal.

Juice plus has gone very quiet of late as even they have been forced from a head office level to stop its making income and health and weight loss claims.

We have every idea. But if you work with us, with the anti MLM coalition you can expose the lies, you can prevent other women being dragged through the dirt at times in their lives when they should have been enjoying precious maternity leave, just like you should have.

Norma27 · 18/08/2018 19:48

Sacked you remind me of Natasha shingles who posts on here sometimes. She made money from forever living but hated aspects of it and certain people which made her leave.
I don’t know your whole story, and any bullying about you losing a child is just terrible.
