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!

I cant help but laugh at how Pathetic some bots are. Salons little wannabe, the one from Manchester that has 2 profiles on Facebook (she always likes and comments on her own posts with the other account) I'm going to name her 'Wannabe Bot'... she went to Salons Hen party, spent all that money on going to St Tropez - even though she only ever made Emerald Rank at the height of Valentus, and Salon only invited her to the evening do!

She carries on with the Valentus shite through the whole saga when everyone else left. Salon barely spoke to her during that time, now Salons back heavily promoting it, and they are like best mates again. Wannabe bot thinks it's amazing and is hanging off Salons every word again, and they are back to being very Pally.

Honestly the sheer desperation this girl shows to be Salons best mate is laughable. I felt bad for Wannabe at first, as you can see she has just been used as she is easy prey... but now I think she's pure evil. During the whole time Valentus was under investigation and it was really quiet, she kept posting on Facebook about how much freedom she has financially. She couldn't of been earning fuck all, knowing the shit she sold was illegal and yet carried on boasting about her lifestyle to entice new recruits. All whilst knowing she wasn't earning a penny herself, whilst her poor chap is out every hour god send to fund her bullshit fake lifestyle. I wonder if Valentus paid for her day out to Disney on ice today as she is making out, or if it was her poor boyfriend who has a 'proper job'. Wish she would fuck off. Ps. If you're reading this Wannabe bot, stop with the 🔥🔥 emojis, you sound ridiculous.

I've followed this thread for a long time, two of my friends were sucked in by homeschool bot, one was a favourite of hers for a while but both no longer in forever living now fortunately.

I have a new favourite Juice plus bot I love to watch as well who recently had a bbl in Turkey and promoted it shamelessly a couple of weeks after a girl lost her life at the same clinic

ArbunneHun · 14/10/2018 16:02

I know exactly who you mean @Sunshine. She promotes JP & her healthy lifestyle & is the poster girl for JP weightloss. She’s had a tummy tuck, boob job & lipo/bumlift that I know of.

notsurewhatshappening · 14/10/2018 18:57

I follow that JP bot too... classy chick!

fitgirl26 · 14/10/2018 20:03

@Charlie103 - I follow the same Bot. Those bloody 💯💯💯emojis! She was in Lifetree World with Salon and has been posting #thetimeisnow for at least two years....

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 14/10/2018 20:36

Why do these bots talk such bollocks and lie through their teeth?!

I only watch a few (all FL ones) so have a pretty good grasp on what they've been up to hence I can spot the bullshit.

Roomie has posted about putting their caravan (which incidentally they are trying to sell) into storage for the winter and said "a glorious summer spent holidaying every weekend" .

Have they fuck!! A few weekends maybe but that's it!

She's probably spent more weekends at success days, training days or following up potential recruits the other end of the country than she has caravanning with the family (or "famalam" as she cringe-inducingly calls them)

Although the top bots are mightily annoying and I hate them for their exploitative ways, the wannabe bots who never quite make it are the saddest bunch ever. Always sucking up to the glamorous one at the top, grateful for any attention.

It's like Roomie lives in her own version of reality @OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny where she can't remember what she's said previously Grin

BangingOn · 14/10/2018 22:50

Sleaze is sounding particularly unhinged at the moment with his conspiracies

ArbunneHun · 14/10/2018 22:59

Huns, you are not going to believe this, but Wig ‘n’ Sleaze’s Recycle Bot investment/environmental clean-up crypto platform looks like it might just be another bitcoin Ponzi scam fronted by a fraudster!

Someone pass me the smelling salts, I almost fainted clean away from the shock!

Oh Sleaze... chem trails? CHEM TRAILS???

What an idiot.

Charlie103 · 15/10/2018 00:10

@fitgirl

Haa #thetimeisnow

She's so pathetic and desperate that's it's to cringe to watch. She's not an MLM victim, she's part of the problem!

Spongebobette · 15/10/2018 09:00

Sleaze is awful, just awful. Chemtrails??

Also anti Semitic. Foul.

Is Sleaze a FL bot?

BangingOn · 15/10/2018 11:03

Sleaze is a scam bot. He might have started out with FL or Valtentus (I’m not sure of his background but I’m sure someone can shed light) but now he recruits people into crypto ponzis and other scams.

Electrascoffee · 15/10/2018 11:11

Omg!

CatherineCookson · 15/10/2018 11:19

Oh nooo... Sleaze is retired and together with Wig is earning £5000 every few days with bitcoin. They have no need to do anything else or be involved with anything like a ponzi or scam.

They indulge their time by saving the planet, homeless people and chatting to blockchain experts of the world.

They're the real deal and I don't understand why their financial plans aren't out there on a "money saving expert scale". If The UK Treasury invested in their schemed then trade deficits could be wiped out in days.

Just don't mention GCC, coffee, other crypto schemes or that privilege car thing... ;)

user1484830599 · 15/10/2018 13:35

FFS yawn even manages to shoehorn her aloe into pictures of her cat. What a massive tool.

And her "stating the obvious to most small business owner daily 'tips' Hmm"

ArbunneHun · 15/10/2018 13:44

At this point it’s definitely quicker to list the crypto scams/ponzis that Wig ‘n’ Sleaze haven’t been involved with...

sshuga · 15/10/2018 15:55

I’ve been listening to The Dream podcast and am astonished at the thought that 1 in 6 households!?! (in the US I suppose) has someone involved in an MLM. The ability of these rackets to operate with so little examination from authorities, to be so widely accepted as legitimate ‘opportunities’ by a massive number of people, and for even those who know they are not real opportunities to be so dismissive of the extent of harm done by them. Most of the people I have discussed this with either believe the BS or feel that the victims are at fault for being so gullible. But seriously. How are people (more and more of whom are vulnerable and desperate for some way to increase their income and or have more time for their family and things that matter to them) supposed to know that these MLM “companies” are not viable opportunities, when there are thousands of them out there operating, many appearing to be very legitimate on their surface and no significant criticism or effective legal action taken against any but the tiniest portion and even that not being clearly explained or widely reported. Infuriating, disheartening, disgusting, demoralizing....

Whiterangey · 15/10/2018 16:49

Has Yawn gone and got a proper job?

She posted about a 'fellow working mum' and describes the woman as having a proper job as well.

It wouldn't surprise me the way Yawn is going broke.

Shhhhh223 · 15/10/2018 16:59

Could anyone please tell me who salon is? I’ve tried my best FB investigation but can’t work it out!! It’s very frustrating lol as I have just caught up right from the first thread!!

PoohBear219 · 15/10/2018 17:49

If I was earning a six figure income I probably wouldn't bother spending my weekend trying to flog some novelty crockery, second-hand cook books and a couple of bits of bed linen.
I wouldn't think the return would be worth the time invested. However, I am not a very clever high-earning bot!!!
