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!

Yawn is definitely the bot formerly known as browbot!

Norma27 · 23/10/2018 19:35

She is definitely on a recruitment drive for her global, award-winning team!

BangingOn · 23/10/2018 19:49

I’m blocked on her personal profile so it’s interesting to be able to see her. I can see where Brow came from, although Home School could fit the profile too...

leasedaudi · 23/10/2018 19:56

Haha @BangingOn the home school brows are unique indeed!!

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 23/10/2018 21:19

Roomie's going to be doing another. C9 in a couple of weeks.

Clearly her latest health scare has been forgotten .

BangingOn · 23/10/2018 21:21

lease she is unique is many ways, possibly the oddest Bot out there.

Whiterangey · 23/10/2018 21:56

Yawn is desperately trying to get her chairman's bonus cheque and recruitment is the only way to do it.

I wonder if she will do it?

Next April will be interesting.

Paddy1234 · 23/10/2018 22:37

The lady who commented on Yawn's most recent post went to success day and posted photos of a room with absolutely loads of empty seats AND they were giving away tickets beforehand.

Paddy1234 · 23/10/2018 22:43

I have never seen it this bad as this

That's bad, that is very very bad.

Good that less women are being dragged into FL though.

Whiterangey · 23/10/2018 23:22

Though business is booming and Yawn's inbox is full.

That's the truth because Yawn said it.

Norma27 · 24/10/2018 02:30

Definitely the truth if yawn said it.
Forever business is booooooming as we all know.
She will still be up replying to her messages as she said she couldn’t sleep she was so excited and busy.

user1484830599 · 24/10/2018 07:12

Interesting that it was yawn who stayed home with poorly child and not her husband. Would that be because he was at work, perhaps? In a real job I mean.

It's nauseating watching her newer bots suck up to her, they best not get too comfy as they'll be replaced soon enough. Fingers crossed for Mrs Stickman sacking it off.

SSDGM · 24/10/2018 07:23

She is just nauseating full stop. Just like her disgusting aloe gloop.

Norma27 · 24/10/2018 07:59

It is my friend’s tropic party tonight. I’ve had a couple of people tell me that they wish they could say the same as me ( that I don’t do mlm parties as do not like way they operate). They are too worried about offending tho.
Really hope they don’t get sucked into buying stuff.
One of the friends went to someone’s house for dinner last week and got bombarded with utility warehouse shite. She was not happy and one other friend walked out!

Norma27 · 24/10/2018 09:02

How can roomie call herself an author? Her posts are littered with spelling mistakes and grammatical errors.

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 24/10/2018 09:12

It's also interesting that, considering he's apparently a bot too, he never posts about his aloe sales, his new recruits, his "business" meetings etc........in fact he never posts, full-stop!

All the posts are ones Yawn has tagged him in. Poor bloke clearly has no voice of his own and a real job elsewhere

DownThePan · 24/10/2018 10:46

@OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny He was pictured at the pub on a lads night out posing awkwardly with a bottle of slimming pills to ease the hangover!

TheHorseOnSeventhAvenue · 24/10/2018 10:47

Must be great to be able to down tools all day - why then would you choose to be making biznezz calls, recruiting during the day? Then after all that dealing with emails and a full inbox late at night. Sounds exhausting.
I would love to know how many FL sellers are making an income (not turnover or revenue) of £500 per month or more; not withstanding the £200 of products they buy themselves.
Do the top bots still think if they just work hard enough they'll ride the storm and things will get better or are they trying to squeeze the last pennies out because they know the good times are over?
I think Castle can probably see what's coming and is playing smart - she can 'take time away' and if business winds down it will appear to be her choice rather than the business (and effort) not being sustainable. She's probably earned enough that she has some reserves but will have to downgrade the lifestyle. taking time overseas will allow her to do that without losing face and a sudden visible drop. Of course I may be wrong?

ArbunneHun · 24/10/2018 11:18

@TheHorse that wasn’t reading if the situation. A preprepared excuse as to why the business has declined/collapsed. A reason to sell the house, downsize, cut back on outgoings that saves some face and can still be presented as MLM-positive: “My business let us follow our family dream of living abroad!”

ArbunneHun · 24/10/2018 11:19

Ugh - sorry, my first sentence has been auto-correctedinto nonsense.

THAT WAS MY READING OF THE SITUATION.

Spongebobette · 24/10/2018 11:27

It’s always about presenting an ideal life, spinning every situation so it looks good, pretending that you are in control.
Like saying of course you weren’t expecting a chairman’s bonus cheque because you’d taken a year off to renovate your house (= paint some walls, put up fairy lights and raid Homesense for a pile of tat). Meanwhile you were endlessly working.
The downlines must be mesmerised or have the memory span of a gnat.

@Norma27 let us know how the Tropic party went, if you hear!

If people desperately want to believe in the magic of MLM, they will overlook the inconvenient truths and keep the faith.

Norma27 · 24/10/2018 11:55

Sponge I will! I don’t know how to tag people properly!
I’m sure some of my mates will let me know - as long as they actually turn up!
