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!

One of yawn’s minions has joined body shop at home. She also joined younique not long ago but that didn’t seem to last long.
Wonder what yawn thinks about that- if she can bully someone for writing a book and not giving the bizniz their full attention, she will definitely bully them for joining other mlms.

Black Friday sale on Bitcoin according to Wig... sure Jan

One of my neighbours is a new recruit for a mlm. I did my best to put her off but I felt a bit bad for ruining her "dream". Her upline looks to me like she is massively faking it to make it. She is about mid rank so may actually be earning some money but of course is probably spending a lot too. What to do? Ignore it or try and rescue?

How can money be “on sale”??

I wonder if her and Sleaze are booked for this trip to Pakistan they keep on about? Surely if they are retired millionaires they could have gone by now?

Poor homeschool bot. Just out of hospital with her newborn, having had a difficult birth and baby having time in ICU. Is she able to rest? Nope she is doing a live with special cyber Monday offers instead. I really do feel sorry for her. She just had a C-section a week ago and is already back working

Yawn is selling her office sofa. The office which she never uses anymore. I did wonder what is wrong with the office, I imagine something is seriously wrong with it and she can't afford to fix it.

I think Bitcoin is going to end up close to worthless. Hoping that if that does happen all the crypto ponzis will disappear. Wig and Sleaze won't notice the difference as they are already broke.

White you’ve mis-spelt ‘retired’ as ‘broke’

Whiterangey maybe because it was just a glorified shed?

The expression "You can't polish a turd but you can roll it in glitter" springs to mind

Yawns has that sofa since at least her Diamond sizzle 2014 (when she was in her old house). It's in the photo album from that sizzle.

A 4+ year old sofa that is basically brand new? I think not.

Yawn’s Office looks like a Dr’s waiting room. It’s clinical and cold. And the cheque! That’s so tacky! Does anyone else post their bonus pay slips on their wall? 😂

Didn't someone say a little while ago that Yawn's shed had disappeared?

So the travel MLM that the ex LTW, Ex Valentus, went back to Valentus but now don't mention it Bots are all crowing about is Paid 2 Save Travel. Anyone got any info on this one? It is of course the BEST MLM they have ever found and they are all #onfire 🙄

Maybe the bots have liar pants on and that's why they are all on fire? :)

Without like I am keeping on! Castle's presentation has really bothered me. There are thousands of small start up business in Wales that have literally made a business from nothing starting with a skill or a great product. 15 minutes on the stage would have made a huge difference to them.

However, we are left with a member of an MLM who's mantra was work harder than anyone else and you will make millions. The level of professionalism is nicely show on her Instagram post. The slide behind her is talking about 'You {sic] reason 'why''

Not even a spell check on a presentation to thousands...My mind boggles.

Talented Ladies Club have produced another article aimed at Nu Skin, this time their £20k a month earning claims. I won't post the link as it actually names one of the top bots and discusses the claims she makes in her recruitment video.

They have articles on just about every main player in the MLM world and have done wonders for the Anti MLM Movement.

Well done to the Talented Ladies Club.

I cannot go fucking anywhere. This crap is insidious. Im in Mexico and have discovered the sister hotel to the one I’m staying in is holding the Jeunesse global conference 🤬

THEY ARE EVERYWHERE!

Did you say owt?

From I share your feelings on Castle’s presentation. Something odd is going on there.

Where is Castle's presentation? Anyone know? I need to see it!

I cannot believe what I have seen. 'My child is teething and off his food so have given him an FL shake; now all his nutritional requirements are met!' Just WOW!

Have you seen the sugar content on the Aloe Juice - i wouldn't let children anywhere near it!

Where on earth has Roomie gone?! This smells like way more than being hacked.

I know someone who sells Stella and dot products. Went to New York on the proceeds recently. Seems to be doing ok out of it. She doesn't do a hard sell either.
