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!

Just seen yawn mention she only has 20 customers and not all of them order every month. Doesn't seem that's a huge customer base to give her business claims any oomph that she has been using to recruit with.

SnoogyWoo · 23/01/2019 12:48

Yawn getting the dog car is interesting. Must of cost a couple of grand so she either has some money to throw about or it’s a replacement for a lease car cos things aren’t going well. If it’s the latter it’s going to affect her image rolling up to appointments in the dogmobile!

I think it was upsetting her and her husband when the dogs made their posh cards muddy so they've bought a banger for a few hundred

Yawn only has 20 shopping customers. That surprises me. I would have thought it would be more

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 23/01/2019 13:57

Only 20 customers after 10 years of business?

Not something I'd be boasting about TBH.

Just shows that people clearly don't rate the products as they would stick with them (in which case she'd have 100s of customers)

9dartfinish2nd · 23/01/2019 14:06

It's a pretty damning revelation which goes completely against the MLM party line that it's all about selling the product to consumers outwith the downline.

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 23/01/2019 14:15

Oooh someone (who knows how to spell it Wink ) has asked Roomie how she became a resilience mentor.

Watching with interest to see her reply....

Whiterangey · 23/01/2019 14:44

The products are obviously overpriced and rubbish as nobody wants them. When she says to message her to place an order I'm guessing her inbox remains empty.

Hunbot · 23/01/2019 15:42

New Post says she has spent today with two superstar business builders who are each building their team of women so they can all earn a weekend. Looks strangely triangular shaped...

Hunbot · 23/01/2019 15:43

Income not weekend

Jasmin82 · 23/01/2019 16:04

Biohacker is today claiming that "oxidative stress" causes Fibromyalgia. They have a study to back it up. The link consists of an abstract, no actual study and completely contradicts their claim. I doubt any of their followers have actually clicked the link. I am not sure I have the patience to explain proper scientific research to them.

Ofc Dora other wise she would be in the top 28 or 25 which sounds better.

ArbunneHun · 23/01/2019 18:01

Good old illiterate Sleaze. He’s rebranded himself and Wig as #UKPIONNERS. What the heck is a ‘pionner’????

And yes, sure you deffo made $2,400 today.

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 23/01/2019 19:10

What a surprise!!

The comment on Roomie's facebook post asking how she became a resilience mentor has disappeared!

Typical bot action - if you don't like what someone is saying, if it shows you up to be a fake/a scammer/ a liar or whatever, if the truth hurts..... then just hit DELETE

YouokHun · 23/01/2019 22:07

Yes, just went off to see if Roomie was prepared to answer a fair question and of course old Hun habits die hard - deleted. What the fuck is a ‘resilience mentor’, an unqualified Hun dabbling in vulnerable others’ mental health I suspect.

fitgirl26 · 23/01/2019 22:26

I assume a PIONNER is someone who pions? And I see Sleaze has found his meme generating app. "Don't be dying before your dead". Wise words Sleaze, wise words. Moving fast and intentional again?

MLMsuperfan · 24/01/2019 12:03

Broke's Kermit the Frog meme is repulsive. It just so happens that you can free yourself of a life of chronic pain, provided you give money to Broke. Otherwise it's your own fault.

Ladiva1971 · 24/01/2019 12:17

But it appears it doesn't work for him, if you see his latest post Hmm

UnapologeticallyUnhinged · 24/01/2019 12:23

@Ladiva1971 I just saw that post about all the tablets he's been given but of course isn't going to take because CBD is a cute-all! Still went to the chemist and got them though, eh? Also posted about how he 'culled' his fb again as he only uses it for 'bizz'. His bizz must be replicating a bad episode of Jeremy Kyle.

Uber is flogging her deodorants on my local fb selling page. Isn't there a rule against that?!

UnapologeticallyUnhinged · 24/01/2019 12:24

CURE ALL. Nothing about any of this is cute.

SSDGM · 24/01/2019 15:22

Broke only uses his FB for Bizz but also slags off his ex and puts thinly veiled threats on there to the people who have called him out on his behaviour. Super professional as ever.

UnapologeticallyUnhinged · 24/01/2019 16:00

@SSDGM yep. I haven't been following him long but can see he was with someone up until Xmas who he has a baby with then she kicked him out and on 1st Jan he's in a new relationship? Oh and living in his car? But he gets to go to Mcdonalds drive thru every day and make 💷 from his 📲? Holy 💩! ✒️ me ⬆️!

And yes, who had "2 minutes" on the sweep of how long it would take for Yawn to sign up a deaf couple after precisely 2 BSL lessons? MLM at it's finest right there. Just vile.

SSDGM · 24/01/2019 16:05

Yep, Unhinged. It appears the ex (they have 3 kids under 5) has put a stop to the children “bonding” with his new partner that he appears to have already moved in with.
Be interested to know if that car is MOT’d and insured as the last one he bought with his phenomenal Valentus earnings certainly wasn’t.

Twentytwentyhindsight · 24/01/2019 16:39

Hadn't he previously abandoned the mother of his kids to shack up with another Hun who was flashing her redundancy pay as income from her 'biz'?
