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 find homeschool bot and her husband so strange.
Why do they think weird grins and putting your thumbs up constantly makes you look like businesspeople? Such a bizarre couple to watch on their live feeds.

what happened with Elle Beau's back up page?

The Lanza party looks like a really fun place to be Hmm. No-one's paying attention to anyone else as they are all just filming the wacky going on on their phones. Castlebot's sibling has started a "buy my deodorant and I'll donate the money to a breast cancer charity" campaign too.

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 18/10/2018 17:16

Oooh the Lanza party video seems to have disappeared from Castle's brother's fb.

I'd love to know the lead up to the decision to remove it...did anyone realise how unprofessional it was or did they just realise that it made them look like twats? Grin

Anybody know the score on the Valentus latest? They are really pushing for a comeback. Salons botoxed to high heaven face is back sodding everywhere. I have also been told there is secret Facebook group full of new recruits and potential new recruits, about 3000 in there. So are they legal? Compliant? What products do they have? I thougr Salon was investigated by trading standards and told to stop. I'm so confused.

Teddy1970 · 18/10/2018 20:00

I wonder how many top bots actually read the anti MLM posts on hereOhMYGodTheyKilledKenny...bit of a coincidence that the Lanza party vid vanished right on cue!

Teddy1970 · 18/10/2018 20:01

Not sure what went wrong there?!

Does homeschool bot still do FL? I can't bear to watch the lives to find out

@JasperRising

You're bang on about PhD bot. Me and DH were living hand to mouth and borrowing off family every week. On a training call, in which she was stressing how important it was to go to Success Day even if it costs £100 she said "Even if I couldn't afford to go i'd just get the money" and always followed with "you can't afford NOT to go". Even back then I remembered thinking "yeah but you don't have a family to feed and already owe money to people just to meet living expenses"! PhD is in childhood studies but she has no maternal understanding or empathy to Mums and seems to think because some women have easy kids and were successful in Forever, no other Mum had an excuse.

cozietoesie · 18/10/2018 23:06

Did you end up going? 

SSDGM · 19/10/2018 05:30

@cozietozie I don’t know, I just saw a tweet from her to say it had been unpublished but no specific post flagged up. It’s probably been mass- reported. God I hate bots.

Spongebobette · 19/10/2018 15:41

Prob mass reported by bots for...... true stories from ex bots?

Meanwhile disgusting Mr Sleaze continues with his antisemitism posts

Any idea how many reports required to constitute a mass report? Bloody Bots!

PiperPublickOccurrences · 19/10/2018 17:45

Have just bought three 50ml very nice aloe Vera body creams for €5.

Why on earth does anyone ever pay FL prices?

Anti MLM/ Network marketing thread NUMBER 43!!
leasedaudi · 19/10/2018 19:17

@PiperPublickOccurrences because the FL ones use whole leaf aloe, or some shit, apparently

Spongebobette · 19/10/2018 19:24

Don't forget the near sacred aloe fields that FL's owner resurrected for the good of mankind after the plants were decimated by plague (or something like that...)

I thought Yawn had a fabulous office building in her garden....

Great spot @Spongebobette ! Wonder what happened to that?

fromdownwest · 19/10/2018 22:20

Nothing screams the pinnacle of global business leaders more than falling drunk through an airport, and being asked if you can board your cheap Friday flight home after a night in cheap shots in a bar. Stay classy

Paddy1234 · 19/10/2018 22:42

Tax Bill bot's best friend - she does a lot of training and speaking at head office but in all probability jumped on the band wagon a bit too late to make any serious money has put the feelers out to diverse.
This looks like it's going to be in the area of public speaking training etc.
The interesting thing with her is that she actually does have the experience and the ability to make a go of it. It's going to upset a lot of the bots who have tried to break this market ie Welsh down line who is having a very hard time engaging with his public and home school who is just barking mad.
Her first dip in the water got a lot of feedback and interest.
The future will be amusing to watch with the jealousy but I actually think this lady could clean up.
Let the battle commence ............

Mumof3girlssoontobe4 · 20/10/2018 00:26

Hi there, I used to follow these threads at the end of 2015 after a brief and horrible experience with Forever Living. Catching up again now but have no clue who these new bots are! Could someone kindly message me with the real names please, much appreciated Smile

cozietoesie · 20/10/2018 01:02

Sadly, you may not get responses. As you might be aware, legal action was threatened against these threads and contributors and I'm afraid that the MN policy on PMs puts them in much the same category as open posts. People are therefore most careful about what they send by PM as well as that which they post on the open board.

Mumof3girlssoontobe4 · 20/10/2018 03:28

** cozie
I wasn't aware of that, that's understandable not to get any response. I just think it's really clever how you all know who is who by their bot names Grin
