MLM Bot Watch 42

[Spongebobette]

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!

I've been blocked from our local Gossip Girls Facebook page because of my vocal objecting to and reporting of MLM selling posts when the page doesn't allow selling posts except on one day of the week.

Posts like "I need 10 volunteers for a free facial, all done at your home, as I need the practice LOL! Done with paraven free, a natural products on your sofa LOL!".

A quick skim of the posters profile shows them to be selling a couple of MLM brands in the last few years.

The two owners of our town Gossip Girls page are MLM sellers too, so I'm locked out. Gah.

@user1484830599 there is a FL bit who puzzles me (northern, well educated, doesn't seem to get she has privileges others don't) as she does seem to coach non FL business but equally if you know the signs a lot of her business posts are still about FL but very well disguised (though she has done a few recently that are explicitly FL). It's actually very cleverly done. And really irritates me because it is so deceitful when she hides the FL stuff, at least other bots are upfront about what they do.

@paddy I started reading mlm stuff after seeing the Welsh couple flaunt their cheques. The Maserati doesn't get mentioned so much these days and I've always wondered if they rent rather than own their home.

Their first into coaching is fascinating- especially as I have a friend who's doing mentorship at a fraction of the cost, but who does have a book (that's decebt) and business credentials. You'd have to be mad to pay someone £8000 to be a coach.

I had forgotten about the Maserati - that came and went very quickly. I know that went they hit it big (ish) with FL they had been through a load of franchises and businesses which had failed before. So I am at a complete loss how he is qualified to coach.

Previous Inteletravel reps are now using their “experience” as a “travel agent” to take on legitimate homeworking travel agent jobs. Once such new recruit has already made a £10k cock up.

Uber tried to recruit me the other day, I ended up feeling really sorry for her and the poor person she was coaching. It was sad and a little Uncomfortable how message was being sold and the lies that were said.
Whilst there are gullible people about, she will continue to thrive.

Was that at the wedding fair?

I thought it was odd that UK No.1 (or is it No.2 now??) was back to the basics of doing a table at an event.

No this was in a private event, I was surprised

Is anyone still trying to make the travel MLMs work? Salon’s bestie stopped posting about it months ago, presumably when the ABTA/ATOL protection failed to materialise.

And what about the Ariiiiiix travel package that all the bots were weeping in gratitude over? I’m not sure I’ve seen anyone bar a couple of top bots book travel through it.

If you go and take a look at Rasher Bot's facebook she is bragging that in September 2011 she had less than £2k go into her bank account and that in September 2017 she had almost £27k go into her bank account.

Network marketing DOES work.

Go for a look at companies house and her companies unaudited abridged accounts for 2017 show a total years shareholders funds of £41k.

I'm not the best at maths so could someone better at sums than me explain how that works please?

I haven’t looked at Rasher Bot’s page for ages. Now I remember why I didn’t. Love yourself much? How incredibly tacky.
That bank statement proves nothing. It doesn’t show the money came from Ariiiiiiiiix, it’s just a deposit. It could have come from selling a car. Or a kidney. Or getting an inheritance. A ppi refund. Load of crap.

Question is if she is a 6 figure earner why did her bank statement only show 1k in the account at the start of the month? Surely if she was earning that much money she would have a healthier bank balance? I agree it could have come from any source but probably not network marketing

MrsStickman is going to take a break from social media for 2 weeks. At a guess it was the trolls that got to her the other day that have wound her up.

I'm just hoping that during that break (if she is "allowed" to take it by Yawn, who will probably put the pressure on) she takes a long, hard, realistic look at the reality of what being in an MLM has been like for the past few months. If she looks at how little money she's earned/how much she's spent and how it's affected her time with her new baby maybe she'll wake up to the reality and get out before too much damage is done.

Welsh couple? Are you referring to Castle’s upline?

Think they are/were part of Uber's downline.

One bot who has previously referred to her 6 figure 'income' and 6 figure 'earnings' is now saying she has had 6 figure revenue each year.
Clearly very different things!

One of the presidential candidates in Ireland has been questioned on her campaign funding (she says it is a loan and will pay it back) from a top man in Herbalife www.irishtimes.com/news/politics/company-linked-to-joan-freeman-funder-paid-200m-settlement-1.3643989

FLP UK accounts are due on companies house on Sunday. They have been late before but really hoping they are on time.

This is going to be VERY interesting.

Does Nu Skin have a UK branch listed on Companies House? I've had a look and seems to be nothing but a lot of inactive and dissolved bot LTD ventures.

Stickwoman is really doing well with the break from social media

I think a break from any online activity is a good idea now and then.

Which is why i've come to the decision to take a break from these threads, I need to work on my mindset, and on myself, so I won't be posting on her for a couple of weeks.

Hey everyone! What's up?

Anyone got any news or gossip?

What's going on in the MLM world that I may have missed during my break?
