Anti MLM/ Network marketing thread NUMBER 43!!

[Spongebobette]

This is the 43rd 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!

Just catching up on this thread. I’m totally fascinated by these mlm hunbots . People get in so deep that by the time they realise it’s all a facade they are in so far and have two choices either front it out and recruit, recruit, recruit or disappear as they have totally alienated them self’s from everyone bar their fellow hunbots.

One Arbonne hun posts videos daily. She is high up and has the Mercedes however sometimes she slips up when preaching about the life changing income and time freedom she now has, for example
She claims she has saved enough money to buy a house outright mortgage free ( she currently rents ) however she has been doing Arbonne for about four years so not all of that time is going to be on the top pay scale also after earning so much you are taxed at 50% then take off all the products ect she pays for and general bills living ect I can’t work out how she can save that much money? Unless she isn’t declaring earnings.

One FL bot I know has just made manager and Yawn featured her on her fb page congratulating her and saying she now has more money than she knows what to do with... reality is she does some side work for a mutual friend to top up her money as she isn’t that flush. It’s so wrong to con people like this into joining, people that usually are vulnerable

Sorry I mean 40% tax rate

Yawn is doing Christmas training. Toothpaste and deodorant in a pretty package. Everyone loves getting toothpaste and deodorant for Christmas.

They always seem to be training for something, I've never known so much training for such a brain dead scam..training for what exactly?

It’s not bloody training. It bears no resemblance to training. It’s just exhortations and and brainwashing.

I ran some online training tonight. It was highly valuable and I had dozens of people attend.

Have you heard of the expression " You can't polish a turd but you can roll it in glitter"?

I think the training is about rolling their business in glitter.

Yawn got into FL in 2007 iirc - so that's partly why she's done well. For people joking now they're never going to get to her level.

Tizzle I’ve listened to the first episode and it’s crazy!

@BangingOn I know! I've listened to the whole series now and it's unbelievable. I'm now googling all about NXIVM...just bizarre.

I’ve got the episodes downloaded for my next long car journey. I subscribe to Someone Knows Something and they posted the first episode- just horrendous.

If Yawn joined in 2007, how come she's only a senior/soaring (can't remember which) manager and not a Sapphire or Diamond?

What kind of fresh hell is a 'reward' holiday where you get woken up for a morning group exercise session. They've done it in previous eagle managers retreats too.

It's not a 'holiday' is why.........

Arf at toothpaste and deodorant sets for Christmas 😂😂😂

I know who Yawn is now but can someone remind me why she is known as yawn?

Today I bought some body shop products from an ex bot who was flogging them cheap on facebay. I really like the hemp hand cream. She had so much stock on her dining room table ... all piled up. I asked her why she was selling it at such low prices and she said she just wanted it out of her house and was sick of the sight of it having lost so much money. She was lovely and I really felt for her.

@notsurewhatshappening because she hit the roof after someone commented "yawn" on one of her many Facebook gloats about her amazeballs life. Went on a diatribe about bullying etc.

Ah that makes sense! Thanks!

And Yawn is rubbish at public speaking too, she's....well Yawn! If you can't sleep just go on to Youtube and listen to one of her 'trainings', you'll be soundo in ten seconds flat...

Yawn is a diamond isn't she?

No, I'm pretty sure she's not that high up Electrascoffee I'm certain I read somewhere she was a soaring/senior....I don't think she's in Castle or Ubers league!

And Yawn is rubbish at public speaking too, she's....well Yawn!

If only she and Roomie were talking to each other, Roomie's done a weekend course in speaking so is probably now trained and qualified to train others in speaking as well as business.

BTW she's also touting for business on the speaking front and it seems she can talk to anyone about anything. Amazing what you can learn in 2 days. I'm wondering what I can do this weekend in order to call myself something different on Monday!

Ha ha Kenny. I might teach myself about space and call myself an astronaut on Monday.
Or maybe I fancy becoming a brain surgeon.
Decisions decisions...

I am assuming BodyShop at Home is a MLM just like all the rest? Quite surprised to have received a FB group invitation from a friend who is a professional woman earning a good salary as a lawyer to her Body Shop group.

I don't buy from Body Shop usually anyway but am really surprised that this woman has been sucked into what appears to be MLM. And why would I buy from her if I can get the same stuff on the high street?

@DoraExplorer99 can you go back down ranks if you have recruited managers but they drop out or do you keep the same level? I mean if some had the X managers needed to be a sapphire or whatever but then they dropped out and weren't replaced would they still be a sapphire or would they be a soaring manager?
