The continuing crusade to expose the underhand tactics used to lure (mainly) women into exploitative schemes using the lure of 'financial independence'.

PerryPerry I am waiting for Messiah to topple. That pyramid must start crumbling soon in the UK at least. Messiah is a seriously unpleasant person. I saw some footage once of the Messiah bullying disciples. True colours. I’m frustrated that no one is taking a closer look at the Messiah’s actions (as far as I know) but it takes complaints from within to kick things off so we will have to wait for more people to lose money and come to their senses :(

cozietoesie · 14/02/2019 19:24

Sadly, that's usually what it takes. Sad

Underhiseye2 · 14/02/2019 20:12

Messiah won't care he's being called out.

Everything he does is for the little people (his words and also his bio for a while) he sees himself as above others.

He denied his bullying when vida threw him out, despite evidence. Mrs messiah is no better, I've seen things she's done and it's all self serving.

He paid people to join his new company. Pornbot was reportedly one of them but she ended up joining the other illegal coffee company closely followed by her shadow wonkybrow.

Not surprising news Castles sister has folded her doll company
I call out the following -

  • any creditors are not paid in full
  • house gets sold reasonably quickly at a reduced amount
  • they decamp to Lanzarote as they 'miss' the sister too much
  • they gave up to concentrate on FL and to give full time support to other Bizniz owners which they couldn't do with the company
  • parents join them soon
  • Bruv continues to be a mover and shaker in his rented room in London
  • two years time they all move back and rejoin the police as they 'missed it' so much

Paddy that sounds spot on.

Homebot is talking about being recognised on stage this weekend as a top business builder- but no trip or cheque for two years?!

Has anyone else been following Notorious “weight loss” YouTuber Amberlynn Reid and her encounter with Optavia?

If you don’t know about this person, she started a weight loss channel at approx 380lbs 7 years ago and is now hovering around the 560lb mark. It’s a very sorry situation. She was clearly abused and neglected as a child and has many mental health issues. She was recently taken in by a “health coach” that sold her $400 a month’s worth of basically chocolate bars for a 900 calorie a day diet, promising her she would lose 200lb in a year. She lasted 3 days (which is her usual MO when it comes to any sort of “diet”). But again, it shows she was victimised by a bot who saw her as an easy way to make a few $ and get publicity for their pyramid scheme. Problem is now she’s said the “fuellings” were awful, so that’s backfired a bit, hasn’t it?

Whiterangey · 15/02/2019 08:25

I know her but do not follow her because I can't cope with watching her slowly kill herself. She needs intensive mental health help not being preyed on by snake oil mlms.

Underhiseye2 · 15/02/2019 08:48

Is Messiah not on facebook?

Whiterangey · 15/02/2019 09:05

He is on Facebook and today is a big day apparently.

The pyramid crumbles from the bottom. It gets harder and harder to recruit as there are fewer potential mugs left (people have already been burnt or have heard what a scam it is) and the length of time new recruits stick around is shorter (fewer people left for them to sell to or recruit, so they give up quicker).

Basically, as the bottom of the pyramid crumbles, the whole thing starts sinking. The few at the very top have a greater buffer as the thing goes down. This is why the likes of Bloodsucker and Uber are still getting by (and by 'diversifying' into new markets or buying CB cheques by strategically purchasing stock through selected down lines).

Regardless, they are going down anyway - the corpse may twitch a bit longer, but FL is dying in the UK.

Also the bigger they are, the harder they will fall. Going from a high 6 figure a year income to a lot less will mean their whole lifestyle is gone.

They spend as fast as they can earn it according the same income each year. Yawn, and the bots on her level have stopped with the flashy purchases because they can no longer afford it. Husbands have discreetly gone back to work. They are REALLY hurting and can't keep it up for much longer.

cozietoesie · 15/02/2019 15:07

The damage to families hardly bears thinking about.

Paddy1234 · 15/02/2019 16:26

Without a doubt Uber will be the last to fall and she seems to have put enough aside for the long term
The others will be toppling shortly
Castle and Welsh Rarebit - as soon as they topple the UK is finished

Whiterangey · 15/02/2019 16:36

Are there any mlms in the UK currently showing the same growth that FLP and others were showing a few years ago?

There seemed to be a huge growth where top boys of all the major mlms were falling over money and now all the major mlm bots appear to be really struggling.

foreverastri2 · 15/02/2019 17:26

I don't think there is whiterangry. When it first exploded on social media a lot of folk hadn't really heard or knew much about these companies, the " lifestyle " looked so enticing....I guess this would of been when recruitment was at it highest.... now folk have either been burnt by mlm or sick of the sight of the posts 😬

foreverastri2 · 15/02/2019 17:27

There is a resistance building thankfully, the money I wasted on flp, would of been a nice family holiday. Mlms are vile.

notsurewhatshappening · 15/02/2019 17:39

I suppose the founders of FL are just waiting for it all to wind down and raking in as much as they can in the meantime. They must be absolutely loaded.

Twentytwentyhindsight · 15/02/2019 18:11

The founders of FL are doing just fine, and will continue to. The collapse in the UK started a while back (check FLP UK's accounts at Companies House, as well as the dramatic decline in the bonus cheques going to the bots). FLP has moved into several new markets that have now overtaken the UK as star performers.

The trajectory will ultimately be the same, but sexy Rexy has become a billionaire and won't care when it all comes to an end - he will have milked tens, if not thousands of (mainly) women dry in the process.
