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

I've been wondering about something.... do you think Yawn has got an Apple watch by any chance?

Call it intuition but I've got a feeling she does

I don’t think so Kenny. She would make sure it was seen in some obscure post about butterflies if she had so that we all knew she had one.

Messiahs ex disciple will be using that as a lead to see who wants to lose weight for her illegal coffee.

PerryPerryThePlatypus · 04/03/2019 12:20

I think shes panicking because despite her swilling down Jesus juice to beat the band she's also fallen down a alcohol and takeaway hole while her relationship is going down the Swanee. Messiah obviously doesn't think she looks the part anymore, he's actively ignoring her posts comments and likes. Even though she hates him she still is firmly embedded in his arse.

Hi I've been following for a while but haven't commented. Is there a quick read someone can link me so I can explain to some people what mlm is and why it's bad? Thank you.

Spongebobette · 04/03/2019 13:02

I certainly echo what someone said upthread about Companies House; a quick search on there of a name of a seemingly very successful bot reveals the truth
I just had a quick look at a Forever Living bot’s accounts - I think she was known as bare house bot on here.... 604 quid in the company. That’s it.

Spongebobette · 04/03/2019 13:06

@BessMarvin

Have a look at

This article is a good starting point

The Messiah, former disciple who jumped ship to RevitalU should really keep track of her income claims.

On Saturday, she posted that she could show people how to earn £1350 in their first 30 days. By the time she's doing her live later the same day, she is explaining how you can earn £1350 in your first 60 days.

Or you could get a minimum wage job and earn that in 21 days...

Thanks Spongebobette

I see Roomie hasn't mentioned FL for some time (a couple of months maybe) - does this mean she's got out.

She seems to think she's found her calling in the motivational speaking, resilience mentoring etc but judging by the amount of stuff she's selling I presume the money and offers of work aren't flooding in.

One thing she let slip in one of her long-winded "finding herself" monologues was that when she started her writing career (I use that term loosely BTW) it was after going on some enlightenment course - she said she couldn't afford the course at all but found the money somehow. This course was when she was in FL claiming that it was bringing in an income that enabled them to go on holiday, buy a caravan (which has also strangely disappeared) and all sorts of other treats Hmm.

Not sure if you can see this but it's a 20 min report on mlm from the Feed. Really sad stories.

Twentytwentyhindsight · 04/03/2019 15:37

Broke will be doing a live later to show people how not to be "Pestering sales pitching plonkas".

@spongebobette It was myself who mentioned what a great tool Companies House records are for debinkung certain bots income claims.

One thing I have noticed that I find intriguing is that figures of the top UK FLP bots are in a different league to that of the top UK Nu Skin Bots.

I have previously found a Nu Skin bot who claims to be "free" but her company was dissolved by HMRC and another who claims to be a 6 figure earner but no trace of her can be found on Companies House.

Just looked at Uber's latest accounts that were posted at the end of Jan and at the very end it states the company is owed just over £750k, I can't pretend to understand all the in and out's of these figures but that amount of money owing to the company scares me.

Tired Dave's FB account has vanished.

He is currently married to what he described as an MLM addict, She was shilling for Beachbody and this account on FB seemed to be his way of dealing with the absurdness of being married to a "hun" and watching the shit show that inevitably follows.

Hope he is doing ok!

GoldenKelpie · 04/03/2019 17:37

notsure that's a really interesting video. The delusion is strong in those downlines though...

I think it would help a lot if the law changed to outlaw "pay to play" because that is essential for MLM companies to create a steady income up the pyramid.

spanfan · 04/03/2019 17:49

Just another example of exaggerated truth...

Castle has been in the us for a week and has hardly any pics with her son. Son has been all over the place with his relatives, but not her. She's been in very overpriced training pretending she's having the time of her life, making memories.

The reality of these trips is so so far from what they went you to see. 😂

Norma27 · 04/03/2019 18:17

Yawn is pretending that 15-20 clients can earn you £400 per month.
20 clients would mean you are earning £20 from each one each month. How much would they have to spend on aloe shite for you to get that commission? No way clients spend that much on this shite!
Stop fucking lying yawn you bloody parasite.

Spongebobette · 04/03/2019 18:23

Let’s do the sums
If bots get 20% commission on everything they sell (I am only guessing it’s 20%) , how much volume do they have to shift to make £400?

PerryPerryThePlatypus · 04/03/2019 18:49

I saw that twenty-twenty .

My mother always said if you tell the truth you won't have to try to remember what you said.

suedoname · 04/03/2019 18:54

When I was with FL we were told to buy the c9 for new year.

This was my penultimate fallout with my upline. It was quite explosive on a comment thread on her team page. Didn't go down well with her team when I pointed out.

To buy at cost price at the time was £79 plus £6 delivery at bottom level.

I worked out just to break even I had to sell approx 8 at full price.

It ended with me saying "If you're so sure I can sell TEN to make a profit then you buy me the damn thing"

You've never seen someone booted from the groups so fast as me.

Tupperwarelid · 04/03/2019 19:00

I’ve noticed that too span . Lots of whooping about the event, the activities and the freebies but god only knows how much the training cost in the first place. The man running it won’t be making a less, that’s for sure.

Tupperwarelid · 04/03/2019 19:01

Making a loss not less !
