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

Also just seen that another Castle downliner has had twins in the past week in and is now going to ‘do a live’ to introduce them to her FB followers. I feel so sorry for her. Imagine that pressure to get back to work.

I've had an MLM leaflet through my door before. It went straight in the bin, which is where all 300 of Yawns leaflets will end up.

Inteletravel have got ABTA membership.

So that’s nice.

SSDGM · 20/03/2019 07:58

...And I see Wig has discovered FaceTune.

It’s too early for this shit.

Norma27 · 20/03/2019 08:02

Yawn really should have got someone who has a basic grasp of grammar and spelling to proofread that drivel.

Hunbot · 20/03/2019 08:06

Anyone else watch the Lularoe pages. Probably the worst one I have seen due to the Financial fallout and that whole mlm is about to implode as the top 100 are all leaving as they are putting a new non complete clause into their contracts that say that they cannot sell a rival item for 12 months after leaving and cannot say bad things about the company. Demolition in 3,2,1 boom

Horrendous story coming out of China yesterday regarding a Nu Skin customer who has tragically died.

The fact that Nu Skin HQ have made a statement shows how serious an incident this could be. China and the far east/Asia make up around 75% of their annual sales

The Chinese authorities having already previously cracked down on both Nu Skin and Herbalife are likely to take a very dim view on this.

Can anyone answer this question for me?
Are Valentus products all for resale now. The website used to say products not for resale, for personal use only. They only had two coffees for resale. Now the website doesn't mention this anymore.
Are trading standards still involved?
Salon and about twenty others are going to Vegas next week. I thought it was nearly finished but seems to be picking up.
Very worrying as I know somebody involved but can't ask any questions as don't want to lose the friendship.

Yum new twinmum bot was doing an online presentation the day before she went into hospital to have them. Presumably for induction or c/section ☹️

notsurewhatshappening · 20/03/2019 09:56

Such a sad story. Indoctrinated is absolutely correct.

Yawn is experiencing a whole load of tumbleweed on her FB page. It must be exhausting thinking of new crap to post every day. Nobody is interested!

fromdownwest · 20/03/2019 10:30

Does anyone else find the educated bot post such a load of absolute tosh.

Plucking numbers out of the air of £10k per month income etc

She is tying top sell a business development package to make your business work, when she could not even make hers work.

I really do not understand this one at all, more than the others.

DownThePan · 20/03/2019 12:56

So what scam is PhD bot moving onto next? She's building the mystery!

Twentytwentyhindsight · 20/03/2019 13:31

It will presumably be in Australia, no?

Is the aloe stuff an oversaturated/dead market in Oz so that's why she's jumping ship?

UmBankroll · 20/03/2019 15:18

@9dartfinish2nd ShockSad what an awfully tragic story. That poor woman’s husband and child. If anyone ever doubted the dangerously cult-like power of these MLMs then they should read that article. Terrible.

TheHorseOnSeventhAvenue · 20/03/2019 15:30

Companies House does not reflect a certain bot’s claims re personal profit. Wonder if HMRC read FB?

fromdownwest · 20/03/2019 15:40

It really does look like it is dying a death, like rats from a sinking ship!

dickiedavisthunderthighs · 20/03/2019 15:55

Lizilondon I don't know the ins and outs but I think that they have one coffee that is legal to retail in the UK and one that isn't. Bots have been promoting the saleable coffee but privately selling the NFR one.

Salon was very quiet but is now going hammer and tongs again. It's quite depressing.

imnoseyrosey · 20/03/2019 16:25

Valentus have 2 legal coffees Brazilian and Italian but they don't work.

They are all pushing optimum which contains occdodrine and is illegal. It's a disguised substance on their packaging:

This is also in ALL the revitalu products and links to heart issues and sometimes worse.

All other valentus products juice, detox, chocolate are also all illegal too.

If a customer was ill or worse it's in the seller and this is what no one seems to grasp. Trading standards are always on V and I hear there has been someone hospitalised cause of the optimum this week so keep your eyes peeled:

It's shameful and disgusting and the leaders are all aware what they are doing. If you ask questions your shut down / out and blocked. That's not the practice of someone running a legitimate business

SnoogyWoo · 20/03/2019 17:06

Not a great angle on Yawn’s latest video. She has more chins than a Chinese telephone directory!

spanfan · 20/03/2019 17:33

PHd is lying through her teeth. If her business was so good why would she leave. She's recently left a v posh flat and selling stuff. Cashflow is low. I suspect her business mentor bizniz is down the pan too... Which one s no surprise as she isnt raking it in. 😂😂

She also is definitely fibbing about her income.

It's all bullshit and smoke and mirrors to explain her move to Oz.

TheHorseOnSeventhAvenue · 20/03/2019 18:48

Clever bot - rented flat, leased car - unusual for someone earning what is claimed?

Ooer Dora - I'm glad my perfume is entertaining your nostrils. It's called Eau d'Ordure. Grin
