The thread where network marketing / multilevel marketing goes local - not global.

If anyone reading this knows uber personally (yawn, Castle?) they may want to message her and remind her that her pics are public and she may want to remove a few from her latest posting

The comment straight after Brooke's £35k comment was very amusing!

Jasmin82 · 11/04/2019 20:55

Biohacker is claiming that going to university is a scam and a "hilarious joke". I may have commented that I know a funnier joke. Now trying to figure out how to cryptically describe a MLM without being overtly obvious as not keen on missing the entertainment getting blocked.

Initiative Q...is it an mlm? It's trying very hard to dispel any talk of it being an mlm, but it seems to tick some of the right boxes...

GunpowderGelatine · 12/04/2019 01:02

I've posted this is AIBU but thought I'd share the joy here too...some utter cockwomble (friend of a friend) has posted this on Facebook:

#Attention all males!!#

So if your Mrs is out like me she will say oh don't bother with an Easter Egg for me babe i'm on a diet......

  1. In the back of her mind she knows if she got one she would eat it in a oner and then feel guilty cause the holiday is looming 👙 &
  1. It's a Test!! "Don't get me out I'm not bothered" actually means you better bloody had mr!

So why not totally surprise her and buy something amazing from Tropic that's not gonna cause a meltdown. It will last way longer than that easter egg will believe me! 😂

Message me for some ideas that aren't gonna break the bank.

@Jimjamjools - not an MLM as such- this article in the FT is quite useful:

acatcalledjohn · 12/04/2019 08:09

And if you can't read the FT link (need to register it seems), have a read of this MSE Martin Lewis article.

Basically a new wannabe cryptocurrency.

acatcalledjohn · 12/04/2019 08:11

@GunpowderGelatine Those statuses are so patronising.

Twentytwentyhindsight · 12/04/2019 08:23

Link to the FT article on Initiative Q that bypasses need to register (I hope):

Thank you, that's very helpful and interesting!

jadeyfly · 12/04/2019 08:41

Castle has now blocked me, so has salon and broke. They must of seen a comment I made a couple of days ago in a group they were in, advising a lady not to join a MLM instead of going back to work after having her baby. I pointed her towards a pay per hour site I used for admin based home work.

Twentytwentyhindsight · 12/04/2019 09:00

@jadeyfly - for legit business people with nothing to hide, they ain't half paranoid about anyone questioning their business model and practices.

I have been blocked by Yawn whilst having no interaction whatsoever with her ever. I can only think it is because I occasionally comment on anti-MLM pages. Fortunately, I have an alt. account for the purpose of bot-stalking, so I don't miss out!

Whiterangey · 12/04/2019 09:24

How is blocking you going to help them? You can still talk to their intended victim and hopefully sway her away from MLM.

What type of group are all three of them in together?

Norma27 · 12/04/2019 10:22

I think they stalk groups like mlm lies exposed and block people who comment on there.

I notice yawn is back at the gym again today. How funny!!

Whiterangey · 12/04/2019 10:24

I get cutting negative people out of your life or those with the wrong views.

I've blocked people for homophobic or racist comments. On the other hand I've had many arguments with those on the other side of Brexit to me and despite our different opinions we are still friends.

Why don't they put forward a decent argument as to why MLM can work for everyone? That is what they are claiming so it should be easy to prove with statistics. Why not put together a reasonable argument to prove us wrong? It should be easy enough.

We claim that over 99% of people will not make money in MLM and most will actually lose money. Prove us wrong.

jadeyfly · 12/04/2019 12:22

It was a British based 'banter' and memes groups so nothing spectacular 😂

Castle and her family are just sooooo funny and wacky!! NOT! They are seriously deluded if they think they make videos worth watching.

Whiterangey · 12/04/2019 13:05

They did set up their own YouTube channel so the siblings could vlog about their lives.

It was really boring and the only views came from their downlines. I think they thought they would go viral or something like some of the American family vloggers do.

Most of my family memories there are no photographic record of, the memories are in my head and make me smile when I think of them. I will talk about them with those close to me, as they are the only ones interested in them.

I'm close to my family, I do not feel the need to prove that with videos and photos.

Whiterangey · 12/04/2019 13:15

Castle had put her house back on for sale. She had rented it out and I'm guessing the 6 months lease is almost up and she is now trying to sell it again.

acatcalledjohn · 12/04/2019 13:26

Tragic, but it’s comedy gold watching these bots scramble to save their arses.
