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’ve just been invited to a tropic party!
Unsure whether to go and see what bullshit it all is or reply saying I don’t go to mlm parties.
Decisions decisions!

Spongebobette · 16/10/2018 20:06

Do go!
Ask some pointed questions

Didn’t take me long to decide! I said I won’t go to any mlm parties as I don’t like how they operate.
Really like the lady hosting it tho and hope she hasn’t been sucked in herself.

willdoitinaminute · 16/10/2018 20:22

Well guess who I walked past this afternoon? Have to say that she has genuinely lost weight. Not sure what she was up to, definitely not shopping since the shops were all closing. Perhaps they were doing one of their spontaneous photo shoots.

BangingOn · 16/10/2018 20:52

Oh dear Sleaze, surely the point is that it isn’t ‘your’ Facebook and you can’t post what you like if those posts are anti-Semitic nonsense.

Paddy1234 · 16/10/2018 21:28

Fingers crossed that Mrs Stickman has seen the light.
However someone has taken her place as the 'favoured' one. The post of 'manager in training' has even been liked by Uber herself.
However what is very interesting is that a few days ago she has been given a free ticket to the forthcoming success day - now that can mean something on so many different levels.
I am going to read into it that not many have been sold and they are giving them away to the up and comers to suck them in completely.

The manager in waiting has been delivering packs to neonatal units. Just like Yawn you can buy one to give as a donation

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 16/10/2018 21:56

WTF....if you look back at the Manager in Training bots FB posts she was asking for sponsorship for "Keep The Germs At Bay" packs for the local neonatal unit.

It's acts like this that have obviously made her stand out as Yawn's next "favoured" one

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 16/10/2018 21:57

X'd posts there!

DownThePan · 16/10/2018 22:21

Yawn & Co are always banging on about how you can earn £500 a month in the pockets of time you have in your day, yet she lays it out very plainly that you need to put in 2 - 4 years and a load of time before you start seeing the rewards. Oh - and you need a thick skin too. That's not something you see in your average job ad!

cozietoesie · 16/10/2018 22:36

How thick a skin did you need yourself, Dora?

Electrascoffee · 16/10/2018 22:52

FLers have to pay to attend 'training' don't they?

Electrascoffee · 16/10/2018 22:53

'Years ago I had a flatmate who was very into the law of attraction (wasn’t an mlm-er though). He had a mood board with photos of expensive cars, luxury houses and a fake cheque for a million pounds. He used to sit and meditate in front of it most evenings in the belief that that would make it come true. Hasn’t worked yet (10 years on.) I wonder if he’s still trying.'

😂 Donkey

BangingOn · 16/10/2018 23:10

Could Sleaze be joining TS Life?

DownThePan · 16/10/2018 23:15

@bangingon Sleaze was sucking up to the Messiah a while ago and I think someone else on this thread suspected he may be joining Total-Shite so you're probably onto something!

Paddy1234 · 16/10/2018 23:17

Unfortunately that looks like a 'yes'
Messiah's better half has liked the post
I also saw that one of Blood Suckers down lines had also crossed over to the dark side
This is going to be a very amusing journey - FL vs TS Life

DownThePan · 16/10/2018 23:19

@paddy1234 I'd be surprised if TS is around in a year. It's such a lacklustre offering!

Messiah was sulking the other day because people in the U.K. would rather spend their money on a Chinese than joining TS Life, which didn’t bode well (although I don’t blame them). But if Wig and Sleaze are joining then the business must be sky rocketing as they only back winners.

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 17/10/2018 07:20

Yawn's latest post is clearly a thinly disguised dig at any recruits that are not giving it 110% yet, at the same time, she claims to have "dipped in and out" when she claims she took a year off to renovate the house or a summer off to be with the children etc (although we all know she didn't take any time off at all).

What a vile woman cracking the whip like that and making people feel bad just because she fucked up the figures and is desperate to get a cheque.

Norma27 · 17/10/2018 07:57

Really hope she gets the same cheque as last year.
Can’t wait for April to see how much the cheques all drop by for this year!

Norma27 · 17/10/2018 07:58

I turned down my tropic invite but if I ever got the chance to go to a forever shite party hosted by yawn I would be there like a rocket.
Would have to take my cheque book for any purchases!

user1484830599 · 17/10/2018 08:04

God yawns post couldn't be any less thinly veiled if she tried. I'm amazed she's got any friends left to peddle her wares to.

I actually quite enjoyed the Tropic party i went to, the products were lovely. Host was furious when I refused to buy any though, their prices were extreme!

Norma27 · 17/10/2018 08:22

Maybe I should go! Would love to see them get furious if I refused to buy anything! It is next week so have a few days to change my mind!

Spongebobette · 17/10/2018 09:27

Yawn is foul

Twisting reality to suit herself

Recently she’s claimed that within a few months of starting she was making loads of money
That she took a year off
That she took a summer off
That you can fit your business into pockets of time

She’s a liar and a bully
