Is anyone on here in team pages for an MLM, particularly Forever Living?
Just wondering if there's any mention of that documentary?

Mielabel · 28/04/2019 17:30

I'm still on some team pages... :)

I wonder if this would be a good time for a concerted flurry of letters to all our MPs. We must cover quite a few constituencies and could link the documentary. I’m not the most politically savvy nor the most articulate here but if someone wanted to compose a letter I’m confident there would be a number of us who would use it ... ?

I am feeling particularly pissed off about the exploitation being aimed at women and that MLMs are getting away from basic employment rights as well as National Minimum Wage, holiday pay and pensions. Real businesses now have to do Gender Pay Gap reporting but here we have tens of thousands of women making either nothing or two quid an hour before expenses. It’s so f*&@ing wrong!

Any clues on how to find nurse not. I know her first name and what she looks like but can't find her as am blocked by yawn

The male Nu Skin rep who spoke about negative influences on the BBC Documentary undercover footage is apparently a keynote speaker at the upcoming convention in Tarragona, Spain.
Couldn't make this shit up!!

As the bots have been quiet today, I bet behind the scenes there is a lot of frantic pm me hun, Skype/WhatsApp.They will be getting a workout with no gym required.

Christmastree43 · 28/04/2019 18:51

@Spongebobette you must be local to me Smile I wanted to say the same, she is from a very wealthy family that have previously bankrolled her now mothballed clothing line and music career so this is all just a hobby to her... absolutely shocking to hear them talking about targeting people’s weaknesses!

Also she’s 24... how can anyone at that age possibly be any sort of business guru etc

Jasmin82 · 28/04/2019 18:56

There won't be anything on the groups. Groups are only for rainbows unicorns and sparkly stuff about the cults companies. Just gloss over the bit where they tell you to make sure you have the products to show the customers, because they stick an uplifting emoji on the end of the post so that makes it all OK.
The PMs are where, to coin a GOT phrase "the night is dark and full of terrors." over this documentary. Anyone who tries to post about it in the groups will see their post removed and their upline giving them a quick reminder of the positives only rules.

There's no way Yawn has dropped a dress size in few days, she's talking bollocks as usual...

ArbunneHun · 28/04/2019 19:01

Anyone else notice that the “trainer” at the conference is the ‘social media coach’ and #NetworkNinja much beloved of Salon et al? He was clearly on a paid gig at the event they filmed undercover. Wonder how he’s feeling????

leasedaudi · 28/04/2019 19:17

Wow that #networkninja is across ALL the bots and MLMs, how have we not come across him before?!

Spongebobette · 28/04/2019 19:27

@Christmastree43 small world!

How does the fl VIP club work? I see Castle’s sister is a member but she’s not top 30 nor qualified for a cheque!

Norma27 · 28/04/2019 20:35

That poor bot who is going for supervisor needs 6cc more by end of month. That is by Tuesday!

Teddy1970 · 28/04/2019 21:04

6cc is about 600 quid isn't it?

gotmychocolateimgood · 28/04/2019 21:24

Poor Not-yet-supervisor bot. I wonder if she will buy her way to her promotion?

gotmychocolateimgood · 28/04/2019 21:25

Yes Ladiva, Broke is hanging around on an anti mlm group on Facebook making a twit of himself. Pestering and making outlandish claims.

Ladiva1971 · 28/04/2019 22:08

I Saw that gotmy I was referring to a certain Mr F Brooks that Arbunnehun was talking about

Whiterangey · 28/04/2019 22:11

Wig and Sleaze have found something new to invest in.

Three back to back zoom calls and due diligence for two weeks so it's all good.

Just wish Wig would name the opportunity it so that I could invest.

Whiterangey · 28/04/2019 22:28

Oh my, just read the post on mlm lies although he has apparently deleted most of them. That was the best smackdown I have ever seen from the woman whose friend runs melanoma UK.

He works closely with them with his CBD oil apparently.

BangingOn · 28/04/2019 22:29

Anyone know what’s going on with TS Life? I have to admit that it’s lasted much longer than I expected, although I am not convinced that anyone except Messiah is making any money.

FranceTeam · 28/04/2019 22:32

The TS Life bots are the most embarrassing I’ve ever seen. They all seem to comment “morning lovely” on each other’s posts. I can’t believe anyone would buy those products, they look awful,

Spongebobette · 28/04/2019 22:57

Poor poor desperate-to-be-supervisor bot

Being messages by her upline several times a day with 'support' (= PRESSURE) And the upline is telling everyone it's a 'done deal'

She's going to bang a few C9s on the credit card isn't she
