Anti MLM/ Network marketing thread NUMBER 43!!

991 replies

Spongebobette · 29/09/2018 18:17

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!

OMG an ex colleague of mine has just announced on FB she is starting younique. She is a professional in management who is about to go on maternity leave with her second baby. I really am surprised she has done this!!

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 13/10/2018 12:41

Funny....I've not seen any photos of Castle's impressive new home in Lanzarote or her brother's new pad in London.

Not like that family to miss a boast post opportunity.

Also got 3 Herbalife flyers through letterbox this morning with various info about 'health and nutrition clubs ' in my area. Argh.

notsure oh no! Bad news for your local population I'm afraid. This company was fined $200million a couple of years ago for 'deceptive practices'. They are still dodgy so keep well away.

Teddy1970 · 13/10/2018 13:44

Yes, it's very quiet on the Castle front...

DownThePan · 13/10/2018 14:31

I do wish Yawn would stop doing That Face. It's offensive and given how obsessed she is with her appearance, it's not showing her in a flattering light

Norma27 · 13/10/2018 14:38

She really is a vile human being.

Marble179 · 13/10/2018 15:25

Yawn is all over Instagram and some days has around 20 'story' updates. She is currently living in 'Casa Aloe Vera', which is a villa owned by Lanzabot (A) if that is the correct nickname! This villa is available to rent out for holidays and many FL people have stayed there.

Marble179 · 13/10/2018 15:25

Sorry I mean Castle*

9dartfinish2nd · 13/10/2018 16:00

@notsurewhatshappening
I expect your ex-colleague will have been sold the dream of not having to return to her job once her Maternity leave is finished as she could become a successful entrepreneur whilst working from her phone whilst looking after her children at home. It's about as predatory and manipulative as it gets.

SheRaTheAllPowerful · 13/10/2018 16:22

Same thing happened to a close friend with juice plus :(

Teddy1970 · 13/10/2018 19:52

So Castle hasn't bought a villa then? She's only renting off a fellow bot and yet she's put her son in school over there? She'll have to uproot him again soon I expect, Castle has earned an enormous amount of money through FL so she should have been more sensible with her dosh, she could have bought a modest house with little or no mortgage and put her son in a local school instead of running away to Lanzarote trying to keep up the image that she's still loaded.

CodLiverOil556 · 13/10/2018 20:54

Someone's trashed Castles wall...can't help thinking it's a bit of karma

HellenaHandbasket · 13/10/2018 21:36

Has anyone had any dealings with Tropic? A friend is getting quite heavily involved

user1484830599 · 13/10/2018 21:57

Yes a friend did it for a while but lost interest quickly. She went to one of the reward days with S.usie m.a and A.lan S.ugar and came back raving about it. The products were actually very nice, but SO expensive!

SwaylorTift · 13/10/2018 22:28

Of course they were expensive just think how many people need to take a cut of the profit.

SnoogyWoo · 13/10/2018 22:32

How can I find out who Yawn is so I can follow her?

SSDGM · 13/10/2018 22:44

Broke has gone quiet for a week. Wonder what’s his problem?

Bradford has gone full poor quality magic mushroomy coffee bot again. You don’t think Broke will be joining her, do you? 🤷🏻‍♀️

SSDGM · 14/10/2018 05:58

Bit of insomnia induced investigation has lead me to Cockobot and Bradford’s big money spinner.

behindmlm.com/companies/sisel-review-an-overly-complex-compensation-plan/

Sisel International. You’ll be unsurprised to learn it’s an autoship Valentus style Ponzi.

DownThePan · 14/10/2018 07:41

@SSDGM What happened to Organo mushroomy coffee? Does the world need more than one mushroom-infused brew?

ArbunneHun · 14/10/2018 09:04

I heard rumours that former Traffic Monsoon fraudster Charles Scoville is also involved in Sisel. Not sure whether that’s true though.

Jonsey32 · 14/10/2018 11:07

Can I have a promt as to who cockobot is.
And how she got that name!!

cozietoesie · 14/10/2018 11:22

Jonsey

You'll see that posters are very careful on these threads. Sadly, there have been threats of legal action, and the content of PMs is not exempt. (Posters also post pictures scrubbed of identifying details.)

Sorry and all.

Happypuppy · 14/10/2018 11:44

Is Bradford bot the same as thang bot or is it Broke’s ex?
