MLMs/ Network Marketing: Thread 45

999 replies

Spongebobette · 05/12/2018 12:24

This is the 45th thread in a long series about the dangers of network marketing/ MLMs such as Forever Living, Ariix, NuSkin, Arbonne, Younique, Valentus, TS Life, Monat, Stella and Dot, Tropic, various slimroast/weight loss coffee MLMs 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.
The reality is that 97% of people who join an MLM end up LOSING money. Always bear that in mind when considering paying money to join!

I noticed she is taking pre orders for the C9 which just doesn't work.

They will all be pushing them hard in January, lots of people wasting money on a quick fix that will not lead to long term weight loss and will lead to low self esteem when you put the water weight back on 3 seconds after your first normal meal.

Look at your daughter and then Google eating disorders Yawn and stop peddling an unhealthy lifestyle, especially in front of your children.

Ooh. When you work with Yawn you get cheap Prosecco!

How many "last day of work/last meeting before I finish for Christmas" has she had?

She'll still be peddling that crap and/or hassling her team on Christmas Eve

Whiterangey · 20/12/2018 14:39

She will be doing it Christmas day as well.

One of the most senior Nu Skin bots in the UK appears to be almost 3 weeks late filing their accounts on Companies House website

Trouble in paradise???

Paddy1234 · 20/12/2018 19:23

I did laugh at the bags
Something cheap made to look expensive
Which is good if it wasn't from Uber who used to gift mulberrys
Oh how things have changed

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 20/12/2018 19:30

whosafraidofabigduckfart I think you're being unfair calling them shitty fake leather £15 bags ....... I can't find them for less than £16.99 Grin

Spongebobette · 20/12/2018 19:35

I remember her giving Mulberrys to her minions.

Times are hard in Topbotland

Talking of hard times, Broke is now peddling Revital-U products. Which contain exactly the same ingredient - octodrine - as the version of Valentus that is banned in the UK.
I also don’t think it’s the same coffee as he mentioned a couple of weeks ago.

He’s drank two and not eaten all day, which is “good” apparently.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE???

Nuskin bits are trying to flog whitening toothpaste, targeting children’s teeth.

Desperate measures....?

9dartfinish2nd · 20/12/2018 22:02

cazzyg Surely not?

The UK market seems to be a busted flush at the moment, The top Nu Skin reps are openly targeting South Africa, Australia and NZ at the moment.

cazzyg · 20/12/2018 22:30

Yep asking parents to buy it at a reduced price, use it on their children and the give “feedback”/let the big use a heavily filtered photo.

Evening everyone I’m a long time reader of these threads .. just interested in these posts . I’ve some inside knowledge of these businesses

Joinmyteam1 · 21/12/2018 00:42

Looking at the posts claiming Valentus brought skinny body care .. as a google search shows the ceo of SBC is the real owner of Valentus and the ceo there is just a front man .. hearing reps were paid by a dodgy money transfer company the other week as V run out of money ... payment came from undisclosed sources but we assumed its from the Ceo of SBC . Fake Valentus reps pretending it’s a take over to make them look more successful

dickiedavisthunderthighs · 21/12/2018 10:04

Ooh that's very interesting joinmyteam
I wonder where Dodgy D falls into all of this then?

ArbunneHun · 21/12/2018 12:10

...and Bazza H! Neither Salon nor Derby bot has referenced any of the Valentus stuff.

SSDGM · 21/12/2018 12:26

Derby hasn’t waxed lyrical about her amazing bizniz for a month now, but she’s still on the lineup for that outrageously overpriced coaching day in Bath in April.

Joinmyteam1 · 21/12/2018 12:28

He is just the front man .. and was obviously open to paying people to have higher ranks .. like A well known mlm author ... they parade him around .. but he is on the pay roll . However he is off soon .. told big D he can’t keep promoting it ..they are also still moving down line to push through fake promotions.

RelativePitch · 21/12/2018 14:46

Yawn BFF accounts were in last week. Doesn't look good £0 cash in hand at bank, net worth -£13K. I hope she ring fenced the serious money she got to secure the boys' school fees. Life is a far cry from the manor house she was renting a couple of years ago which completely sucked my friend in.

cozietoesie · 21/12/2018 15:16

Has your friend noticed the new situation?

Twentytwentyhindsight · 21/12/2018 21:25

Looks like Wig has found a new Ponzi to hang her hat on.
Anyone for FX/crypto bollocks - only 4 places left?

CatherineCookson · 21/12/2018 22:15

Sleaze is pushing it too - guess they need to move fast and intentional to distract their downlines from recycle bot.
