Thanks for sorting this.

Just in time for the big FL rally in Stockholm! Dallas last year took up an entire thread, it was the gift that kept on giving.

Can’t wait to see what this year brings!

Don’t forget to watch the BBC documentary, available on iPlayer and being show on BBC1 on 8th May ‘Secrets of the MLM milionaires’

Spongebobette · 05/05/2019 20:44

@ClubSandwich welcome!

Are you going to respond to your very own bot?

Paddy1234 · 05/05/2019 20:57

Thank you for the new thread!

gotmychocolateimgood · 05/05/2019 20:58

I'm getting tired of cbd oil hunz targeting me on the chronic illness group I'm in. It's a great supportive group but these people keep trying to friend me and sell me their crap. Just go away!! There are too many for admin to keep up with. Rargh.

Well I’ve liked her page because she also messaged me with the link! It’s already full of the inspirational quotes that these bots are so fond of! Also this pic... ‘heals colon cancer’ hmm so not quite cure, but heals...

Omg! Heals colon cancer - I can't believe I just read that

Spongebobette · 05/05/2019 21:12

I think those are breaking the health claim rules, you should report her to Forever Living

Basilneedswaterandsun · 05/05/2019 21:15

When is the rally? Next weekend?

ClubSandwich · 05/05/2019 21:17

I do also have a Ybot, her page is constant tumble weed. Also ashamed to admit that last year I won a tub of gold face gloop from her...although I won by default as I was the only one who commented Blush

ClubSandwich · 05/05/2019 21:19

I thought it must be breaking some kind of rules to claim it heals colon cancer. How would I go about reporting it?

BBC Three's Facebook page posted a preview last night re the MLM documentary. So far it has almost 200 comments and so far there's a glaring lack of huns trying to defend their industry.

Twentytwentyhindsight · 05/05/2019 21:29

Thanks for the new thread!
This one should be fun as we pick apart the FLP bots' desperate attempts to put a positive spin on the Stockholm Syndrome meltdown!

BSintolerant · 05/05/2019 21:34

Thank you for the new thread choccy!

Spongebobette · 05/05/2019 21:34

I think you can take a screenshot and send to Trading Standards and also to Forever Living?

9dartfinish2nd · 05/05/2019 21:43

How many FLP huns will have taken a year off their biznizz by this time next Sunday?

foreverastri2 · 05/05/2019 21:44

Geez last thread filled up pretty quickly! Ya for new one! I shall continue to lurk! 😁

ClubSandwich · 05/05/2019 21:47

@Spongebobette Just emailed FL, will look at the Trading Standards website now!

BSintolerant · 05/05/2019 21:50

As for our bots being flown to Stockholm in the heights of luxury, I suspect this song tells the truthful version of their travel arrangements:

Mr O'Leary is said to have added a link to it on the RyanAir website. Grin

Twentytwentyhindsight · 05/05/2019 22:11

BS, thanks for reminding me of this skit- it is truly a work of genius that deserves to be shared as widely as possible, as well as encapsulating the reality of the MLM promise...

Having outlaws in Sweden, I can testify that the budget airline airports advertised as Stockholm are even more remote than we are used to in the UK (think 2 hours coach drive). By comparison, Stansted is Leicester Square.

Jasmin82 · 05/05/2019 22:23

Just looked at the comments on the BBC 3 facebook post. There's a bot moaning that a video she posted on a public platform was used without her permission and then linking to her video so people can see more "than the tiny clip they used here" and still defending her business and calling the documentary "biased"

FleeBee · 05/05/2019 22:32

Signing in for Stockholm shenanigans Smile

acatcalledjohn · 05/05/2019 22:32

And if Fascinating Aida haven't fully captured the reality of Ryanair, give it a good go too.

ClubSandwich I see in your first post your botmsays she doesn’t sell Aloe. Then in her second she tries to sell some Aloe. That’s some pretty crap gaslighting going on there. She’s clearly not got to grips with the idea of the long con Grin
