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

Yawn is pushing the weight loss benefits of forever living. Considering she had been using forever living products to lose weight for the last 9 years and is currently bigger than ever, I'd say they are not a long term way to lose weight.

Not to mention that fad diets are harmful. Also worth a mention is that young eyes are watching her.

Hi, just joined thread.

Can you tell me more about the coaching business MLM scams? I have a friend who was actually a very talented HR professional that I think might be getting sucked into something weird.

I'm trying to get to grip with what phdbot is offering.

Apparently her making a fortune was because of her change of mindset. Not just getting more people to sell aloe shite and get others to sell aloe shite.

And using big words and flashing her PhD helps.

I can't believe anyone will fork out for this. Surely with NWM margins bring so tight, 1.5k quid is just too much. Even at half price.

Anyone who gives them their money will get nothing... Apart from an empty bank account.

If she helps anyone make money I will eat my hat.

She's a charlatan. And a liar.

Oh dear Broke. Asking if anyone has used CBD for osteoporosis in a support group and gets caught out by Admin who quite rightly call him out for trying to sell his crap. Apparently he wasn’t trying to sell it. You can also add pre-diabetic symptoms and osteoporosis to his new list of “aliments” even though he’s necking that oil like it’s going out of fashion. Doesn’t seem to be helping much if he’s getting worse.

suedoname · 21/02/2019 02:25

They called broke out big time!

He's obviously denying it but that's typical bot teachings.
Join group, ask question and start friend requesting the people that comment.

We used to get told to not just joining slimming world groups on Facebook but also physically join a group and casually talk about the C9 on week 5 to explain any weight loss.

I was in SW at the time anyway and wasn't going to lose the friends I made from sitting in the circle of shame. Low and behold just a few weeks later a new lady joined who REEKED off the forever perfume and on her 8th week 2 stone award she'd "had a little help."

She was avoided like the plague from that day onwards.

She got asked to leave after latching to every new member offering to have coffee with them and help meal plan.

YouokHun · 21/02/2019 08:50

I was just coming on to mention Broke being rightly called out. The comments from his bunch of sheep about the admin of the Osteoporosis support site are truly disgusting.

M4J4 · 21/02/2019 09:50

Sorry if breaching any etiquette but how can I see the profiles of Yawn, Broke and others? Could anyone PM me?

Norma27 · 21/02/2019 10:27

We are not allowed to pm. But if you find out the country manager for forever living then he has a list of the top 30 this weekend for that particular shite mlm.

CurlsandCurves · 21/02/2019 10:50

Any hints as to how I can find the one who is breaking away from Messiah? Without getting anyone in trouble obviously.

M4J4 · 21/02/2019 10:52

Thanks @Norma27 will have a look

Twentytwentyhindsight · 21/02/2019 11:15

@CurlsandCurves - She was the first to comment on Messiah's 8 Feb. 'Major Announcement' post and is now peddling Revital U.

An Australian tv show called The Feed has just aired a show on MLM's and the huns are out in force already on their FB page defending the industry. Grin

The FB page is The Feed SBS Viceland.

Whiterangey · 21/02/2019 11:23

This is why MLM works. Those women commentating are so brainwashed they can't cope with their precious company having anything bad said about it. They will keep putting money in. It sucks so much.

9dartfinish2nd · 21/02/2019 11:55

One of the bots in the comments called the show "Dream Crushers"

CurlsandCurves · 21/02/2019 12:47

twenttwentyhindsight all the people who commented on that post appear to be still in, all their profiles are full of ts life?

CurlsandCurves · 21/02/2019 12:49

Oops, sorry, didn’t see there were more comments hidden!

In my defence I’m really poorly (and no, I don’t want to try some aloe to cure me)

M4J4 · 21/02/2019 13:22

Is this the one, 9dart?

Multilevel Marketing: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO)

Norma27 · 21/02/2019 13:56

Yawn reckons her dentist is delighted with her teeth, and with her using forever shite toothpaste.
I was under the impression dentists hated it as it is utterly crap!!

9dartfinish2nd · 21/02/2019 14:14

@M4J4, No but someone did post that video in the comments.

Would however love to see John Oliver do a follow up to the MLM episode.

Twentytwentyhindsight · 21/02/2019 14:15

LMAO at the way Yawn's overuse of filters has made Mr Yawn look in yesterday's selfie!

That is funny. I do wonder what their marriage must be like and if he's sick of all the forever stuff.

Norma27 · 21/02/2019 18:29

He is a lot more tolerant than my husband would ever be.

Happymac1 · 21/02/2019 18:38

Hi all, Can anyone advise on enjo. Is this a mlm?

acatcalledjohn · 21/02/2019 19:10

Yes, ENJO is an MLM.

danbarnes · 21/02/2019 20:08

Does anybody else really miss Danniiii?
