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

It's also not unheard of for top bots to have other business interests that they don't openly advertise but again a check on Companies House website will tell you if that is the case or not.

So Castle's mum actually owns bro's business...

When my OH was first drawn into FL, she was introduced to a circle of women who were clearly 'hobby' MLMers.

They lived in big houses, drove nice cars, went on expensive holidays and sent their offspring to private schools.

Without exception, they had husbands who had high powered corporate or professional jobs and/or came from moneyed backgrounds.

I tried to avoid them like the plague as I found them vapid & shallow, but it was clear that their 'little side businesses' were exactly that - a hobby and means of socialising, rather than a real source of income (not that they would tell you this, of course).

To my OH though, their lifestyles represented what she could achieve by going all out in FL.

That is castles dad, not brother, they have the same name.

Twentytwentyhindsight · 06/02/2019 15:10

Thanks for the clarification, Whiterangey!
Bro was also a copper, wasn't he?

Is Axb Financial the crypto currency MLM I e seen mentioned on here? Which bot is involved in crypto again? I've seen a very dodgy looking promo that has used a well respected business coach and writer to advertise. The business coach has categorically denied involved and splashed it all over linked in as a scam. Would be interesting to know if it's the same one.

Yawn posted earlier about her daughter being bullied but the post has now disappeared.

i do hope she's starting to realise that posting about her children's lives and having their photos constantly on what is an open page that anyone can see is a stupid idea.

If it's not bad enough being bullied her daughter had it being discussed in public for anyone to read.

Yawn has stated ‘whether it’s £200 or £20,000 per month you want, I am your girl’.
Yep yawn, I’m sure you are recruiting people who will earn £20,000 per month. Evil bloody cow.

DownThePan · 06/02/2019 19:41

I can't believe Yawn earns 20k a month, does she?!

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 06/02/2019 19:41

Castle's sister's house is also still for sale.

Maybe she's being a bit ambitious over the price too? (no idea what property prices are like around there)

Spongebobette · 06/02/2019 19:43

Hmm I wonder if her daughter was being bullied about her mother's ridiculous Facebook attraction marketing and 'business'?

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 06/02/2019 19:48

DownthePan if she's earning £20k a month she must be hiding it under her mattress because it's sure as hell not appearing in her official accounts on Companies House!

DownThePan · 06/02/2019 20:03

She may be hiding her dosh in the same place as her bonus cheque

Twentytwentyhindsight · 06/02/2019 20:26

She's demonstrating the impeccable mathematical nous that has made her such a business success - "£400 a month is £6000 per year"...

Yawn is broke and her only way out is to hope business will return to 2015/16 levels which is how she planned her finances.

I have no sympathy for her when she loses everything. The upcoming BBC documentary won't help with reversing the decline.

cozietoesie · 06/02/2019 22:01

Any. Idea when it's to be shown?

Norma27 · 06/02/2019 22:02

I have no sympathy for her either. She is ruining peoples’ lives.

rosesandcashmere · 06/02/2019 22:29

Ok I'm lost can someone pls pm me the names, I need welsh and most of the flp as I've forgotten and it's getting hard to follow. Trying to convince a friend that body shop at home is a bad idea

cozietoesie · 06/02/2019 22:53

Sorry,, roses. You'll likely find that people are v. reluctant to put RL names to situations, due to threats of legal action and MN's policy statement re PMs. (Basically the same as open posts.)

rosesandcashmere · 06/02/2019 23:03

Ah ok. I will try and work it out. It's a bit like a foreign language Confused

NakedAvenger · 07/02/2019 04:51

Is anyone else watching Saba? It worries me to death. Lots of the UK team appear to be vulnerable in some way. FLP is grim but this is another level.

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 07/02/2019 08:07

Roses you'll find lists of the "Top 10 Forever Living UK" bots/cheques by googling as it's information freely available on their pages - that's a good place to start.

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 07/02/2019 08:11

I see Uber is making her excuses about finally getting back to work properly after her house renovation and pregnancy....although in a bid to eke out the amount of time off she had a 10 month pregnancy apparently Hmm

Twentytwentyhindsight · 07/02/2019 08:16

Is Saba the one PT bot was flogging?
