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!

bur SURELY, when you have been in the business so long, you'd have built up enough momentum in the teams under you so that you have no need to work so hard? Residual income? Sit back and enjoy the fruits of your labours? Chairman's Bonus cheque is automatic because no one you recruited has left, they are all earning for you???

I’ve never fully got my head around the FL comp plan (which is possibly intentional) but I thought you had to keep bringing in new business to earn the big bucks?

The Eagles retreat in Lanzarote - where are they staying? Is that Castle's villa? She has had about 20 tags in the last 24 hours. Love the yellow Forever trolley cases on the flight! 😀

spanfan · 17/10/2018 20:48

Castle has invited them over. Most definitely for training. And at least 3 of them have left small kids at home. Work-life balance my ARSE. 😂😂😂

BangingOn · 17/10/2018 20:54

Can you sell FL whilst claiming SMP? I thought it was dodgy and if so you wouldn’t want to be on maternity leave from the police and have Bestie broadcasting it all over Facebook.

Electrascoffee · 17/10/2018 23:09

'she's miscalculated for this years chairman's bonus.'

So is this not the truth? And is it the case that she's just saying this to make people work harder? How does it all work? If people down her line earn CCs do they become hers as well?

Teddy1970 · 17/10/2018 23:20

My god, that dig on f/b from Yawn to her new downline...bloody hell, how vile, I really really hope this bullshit comes crashing down on her soon, she also was boasting about matching her Primark top with Prada, and how she loves a "high street bargain" talking as if she rarely shops on the high street...bollocks, I bet she ALWAYS shops on the high street.

Ladiva1971 · 18/10/2018 00:54

Just having a nose at Bradford bots profile, as she is selling a new coffee and I notice One particular friend of hers always comments as to how many pounds she has lost, she even did this when she was with organo, so my question is, why does she still have 2/3 chins/necks? as she must have lost about 90lbs /40kg by now, not exactly the best walking advert for the coffee...

MLMsuperfan · 18/10/2018 01:43

Is it entirely accurate to say the hospital packs have "no profit to myself"?

Sure there's no cash profit on the day, but credits under the compensation scheme are earned that lead to cash profit at a later date, no?

£15 could buy a much better gift without the side benefit to the organizer.

Not my idea of charity.

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 18/10/2018 08:05

I had to chuckle at Yawn justifying her Primark top by saying she's teamed it with Prada. The reality is she's probably feeling the pinch so there will be a lot more Primark appearing in her wardrobe shortly.

Talking of Primark .... Roomie is flogging a load of her childrens "designer" label clothes from years ago (she says designer but she means Boden, Joules etc). Recently though I've noticed her shopping haul photos are always Primark so she's another one that seems to be feeling the pinch.

I've noticed quite a few bots selling bits and pieces on fb recently. You would think that seeing as they're apparently raking it in they would give the stuff to charity or give it away free. Clearly they need every penny they can get.

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 18/10/2018 08:21

Jeez, I'm watching Castle brother's live from Lanzarote last night. Embarrassing or what?! It looks like my idea of hell.

These are supposedly professional businesswomen (and 2 men ??) acting like a load of pissed teenagers.

I'm not saying that none of us have done this but we wouldn't have it broadcast on a colleagues fb business page for all to see.

Norma27 · 18/10/2018 09:14

Castle and family think they are fun, zany businesspeople. They just look like utter idiots tho!

dickiedavisthunderthighs · 18/10/2018 09:59

Uber's sister has qualified for Chairman's Bonus, Uber is her upline. Uber is also Yawn's upline and Yawn doesn't seem to be anywhere near Charmain's Bonus. I wonder how long it will be before Uber starts moving Yawn's downline to her sister to maximise her own bonus cheque? They claim it never happens but I bet it will.....

fromdownwest · 18/10/2018 11:12

Watching the Lanza 'Party' just shoes that these people have no clue how a professional business works.

If I posted videos of me drunk and using my company name, I would be in front of the professional standards committee on Monday morning, and my clients would be wondering why they are paying for a booze filled weekend in the sun.

Don't get me wrong, I drink and dance like a fool. However, it is with my mates, and I don't chuck it all over social media and thank everyone that my job allows me to do it.

Really, really cringe. It is becoming more and more apparent that they are children playing in an Adult world and are being exposed for what they are.

fromdownwest · 18/10/2018 11:16

Also - Academically Qualified Bot seems to be on a big - I came from hardship drive at the minute. When she talks, I don't think she actually says anything, its just generic words and phrases. The secret to 6 figure income on a global scale is in there somewhere.

Elle Beau’s back up FB Page has been unpublished without explanation.

PoohBear219 · 18/10/2018 11:44

If I paid good money for 'professional' business coaching, I'd be pretty pissed off if my well-educated, academically-qualified coach then went on to say she uses tarot cards to make her business decisions.

JasperRising · 18/10/2018 12:23

The tarot cards thing is madness. I am also sure that she has indicated in the past that she had her parents in the background prepared to let her move back in with them or bail her out. So, while she personally may have been short of money I doubt she has ever been that terrifying, I have no money and no safety net level of skint. You can just tell reading her stuff that she doesn't recognise her level of privilege (or is trying and failing to hide it). Yet she MLMs will be ruining the lives of people who really are as hard up as she pretends she was.

Norma27 · 18/10/2018 15:33

Yawn is now saying you have not need to work a few hours a week for a full time income.
Make up your bloody mind yawn. Not what you were saying the other day!

Norma27 · 18/10/2018 15:57

What happened to my English there?!
She says you only need to work a few hours a week for a full time income!
