Why are MLMs/ Network Marketing 'businesses' a scam?

[Spongebobette]

This is the 44th thread in a long series about the dangers of network marketing/ MLMs such as Forever Living, Ariix, NuSkin, Arbonne, Younique, Valentus, 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 don’t understand why the JP PMD I follow advertises her daily 6:30am calls with her team as a good thing. My non-sleeping child might have me awake at that time at the weekend, but I’m not setting my alarm for a Zoom call on a Sunday. Why, why, why?

@BangingOn
Some people alledge it could be a sleep deprivation tactic.

I’m working at a big conference in Glasgow (flight, hotel and expenses all paid for by my employer, natch) and there’s also a döterra event going on too 😫
It seems that döterra are getting stronger in the UK. How depressing.

It’s all part of the brainwashing. Keep them slightly tired and make sure the first thing they hear is ‘on message’ to bolster them against any critical thinking

I think you must be right, they have one at 9:30pm too. Seven days a week!

Can’t allow them to go to bed without a bit of brainwashing!!

And many of them with tiny babies, it makes me so sad.

My OH would stagger out of bed at 6 a.m. everyday do her 'mindset training' before we got the kids ready for school (and at weekends).

I would come down to find her lying on the sofa, headphones in, and a look on her face similar to the bots in yawn's picture at O'Conman' training.

It was allegedly to 'start the day with a positive mindset', as she had been told this was required for her biznis to take off. In reality, she would be in a tired, foul mood throughout breakfast and after, shouting at the kids.

I don't think the recordings came cheap either.

Wig is sharing absolutely fake news about Bitcoin now being legal currency in China. She’s implying this (invented) ruling means that the value of bitcoin will now rocket and that people should invest in her ponzis.

Go to hell, Wig.

Yawn's just ripped out a beautiful piece of stained glass from her bedroom. I could cry.

Don't worry dickiedavisthunderthighs she'll probably replace it with a beautiful, original piece from Home Sense

Dying to know who Yawn is 😂

Mrs stickman isn’t in yawn’s lists this month.
Really hope she has seen sense and is enjoying some quality time with her baby.

Mrs Stickman hasn't posted on FB since Sept so it's looking like she has hopefully got her life back. She's still active on Instagram but no FL posts since Sept.

So pleased if she’s seen sense and seen through Yawn’s self serving love bombing

Just about to come on and report over Mrs Stickman but seems that you have beat me to it.
I hope and think she has seen the light.

I really hope Mrs stickman has seen this thread too and knows that we really wish the best for her.
Yawn, you , are a, despicable human, being.
Sorry, couldn’t resist a few commas there. Are there too many? So hard to work out where to put them.

HOW,DIDIFIRGET,THEMDOH

I’m a bit confused. Yawn and Roomie are no longer friends, but I presume Yawn is still her up line? Therefore is Roomie still in the ‘crystal’ group technically? She isn’t on the league table, is she’s allowed to swap up line?

I've got a feeling that someone said Roomie was actually in Yawn's BFF's downline (despite the fact that she always seemed to be crawling up Yawn's arse) .

I may be wrong though.

Wig is earning £84,000 a month. Apparently.

The JP person I follow says that Craig David is performing and Bear Grylls is speaking at their conference in Barcelona!!!

I'm afraid that Craig David and Bear Grylls have sunk very low in my estimation.

Bear Gryll’s family are all a) independently wealthy (inherited, dead posh) and b) up to their necks in Juice Plus for some unfathomable reason.
