MLM Bot Watch 42

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!

@Teddy1970 she chooses the vulnerable ones, because when a glamorous woman like her gives them love and attention, they feel good and sign up for the scam. They will also blame themselves when they lose all their money. Generally the more confident and educated women see through her fancy image and see a vapid and selfish woman.

user1484830599 · 22/09/2018 18:32

It's really sad, I completely agree with you both. Poor Mrs Stickman wasting her entire maternity leave.

I don't understand how she's funding the fancy car and posh gym. Does she)/husband have an actual job that bankrolls the FL?

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 22/09/2018 18:35

Rumour has it Mr Yawn has a job.

(Possibly works/worked with Yawn's BFF's ex)

BangingOn · 22/09/2018 19:04

I hadn’t realised that Uber has an Instagram account for her youngest daughter’s outfits (a perfectly average outfit of a denim pinafore in case you were wondering)- I’m looking out for the inevitable FL product placements.

Teddy1970 · 22/09/2018 20:25

Out of all the Bots in FL, Yawn has to be one of the worst...she will stop at nothing for her own ends, even it means recruiting skint, vulnerable women, horrid horrid person...

Teddy1970 · 22/09/2018 20:27

Uber has an inflated sense of self if she thinks anyone outside of Botworld is interested in her baby's clothes, totally deluded in fact.

Whiterangey · 22/09/2018 21:22

Yawn is utterly desperate. She owes tons of money to her company and business has gone down the toilet.

She got no bonus this year and as far as I can tell the top bots have been living off their bonuses. I believe that a lot of their income in the past two years has gone on buying product to keep their status and buying promotions for other people to keep their status.

It may not be next year, but very shortly I believe Yawn will lose absolutely everything, including the house.

Teddy1970 · 22/09/2018 21:36

I know I'm being really dense here, but how come she owes her own company money and who comes after her for it? Has she been dipping into funds that she shouldn't have? You can tell I can't read balance sheets!

Whiterangey · 22/09/2018 21:56

Her relationship with food is probably worse than mine is. Slimline Wine? That isn't something to be proud of, her eating and relationship with food is disordered.

I had a huge wake up call earlier this week about my eating. I'm winning. My stomach is currently full, it's been a long time since i've been able to say that without lying.

We live in a world where we are constantly told that the thinner we are the better. We are bombarded with products and people telling us that if we are thinner we will be happier and our lives will be better.

It's bullshit, it's utter complete bullshit.

Whiterangey · 22/09/2018 21:58

@Teddy1970 I'm not sure I really understand it myself, but she takes money out of the company tax free instead of taking it as a dividend and paying tax. The money she takes out has to be repaid back to the company within 9 months of her tax year ending. If that doesn't happen she gets charged tax on it. If her company goes insolvent then she will be personal liable for any outstanding money that the company owes HRMC up to the amount she borrowed from the company.

Hopefully someone will be able to explain it better but that is my basic understanding.

Teddy1970 · 22/09/2018 22:18

Thanks Whiterangey that's helped me understand better.

Teddy1970 · 22/09/2018 22:19

Yes, Yawn is obsessed by food and body image....not good at all.

diamondeaglerangerovercastle · 23/09/2018 06:48

@Whiterangey you're correct, the loan is tax free for nine months and then she will pay tax on the loan amount. It's actually very legal. But the tax can come as a surprise!

Norma27 · 23/09/2018 07:05

Whiterangey well done on winning one battle and filling your stomach up. I really wish you all the best with what you are going through.
I actually looked in my local Tesco to see if it stocked that slimline wine. I bet it is full of artificial sweeteners or something bad for you to replace the actual sugar.

Whiterangey · 23/09/2018 18:40

Why will a photoshoot help your MLM business?

Seriously?

Especially when you already have done many and look exactly the same in all of them.

babysharksmummy · 23/09/2018 19:01

Can someone PM me who these people are (yawn etc) it's driving me insane!
I hate MLMs with a passion but seem to be obsessed with stalking them and watching the car crash pan out!

user1484830599 · 23/09/2018 19:57

Yes @Whiterangey I thought the same. They could have had a nice discreet family photoshoot, but no, business opportunity of course. Bet they were tapping up the photographer touting for business.

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 23/09/2018 20:14

Didn't Yawn have a recent photoshoot by a photographer at that Networking Mummies thing she was briefly involved with (which incidentally she seems to have gone strangely quiet about of late!) ?

Whiterangey · 23/09/2018 20:26

Yes, yes she did.

I still can't understand why she went so quiet about that after the success of that £40 photoshoot thing. 5 people turned up, including her, the photographer, the person selling clothes and the person selling jewelry.

leasedaudi · 23/09/2018 20:57

I think networking mummies is now called "the family network". Haven't heard of yawn speak of it in about six months ..

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 23/09/2018 21:04

For a while she had Networking Mummies (or whatever it was called) immediately under her name when you searched for her on Facebook.

It was there before any mention of Forever Fibbing, coach mentor or whatever imaginary job title she was giving herself that month.

Now though?....not a mention, anywhere.

Whiterangey · 23/09/2018 21:48

She was using it as a way to gain recruits, unfortunately from what I saw from photos of meetings in every area, so did everyone who went to the meetings. Almost everyone there would be MLM trying to recruit other meeting goers into their particular MLM.

SSDGM · 23/09/2018 22:12

Wig has lost 2st in 3 weeks, apparently.

Not being able to afford to eat will do that, I suppose. 🤷🏻‍♀️

SSDGM · 23/09/2018 22:15

Also: Broke has commented he’s permanently banned from posting on local selling pages with his current FB profile!

Teddy1970 · 23/09/2018 22:38

Just had a nosy at Wigs FB profile..how the hell can anyone take her seriously when practically every photo of her is snap chatted up to the eye balls? Can you imagine the Hedge Fund managers at Deutche Bank doing a duck face with bunny ears and whiskers on their professional profiles? Come off it...
