Bot Watch 49- exposing MLMs for the scams they really are. You won't make money and you will lose friends!

[gotmychocolateimgood]

New thread 😁
Welcome if you have just joined us. We would love to hear from you if you have been involved in network marketing. Support given to those who wish to escape. Exposing lies, cult like behaviour and pyramid shaped activity.

This is turning into a game of where’s Wally (Castle etc)
If they are not doing the yabbadabbadoo, then pm is not good marketing. If anyone here is in recruitment you must see some interesting CVs
Like Nurse my JP bot is also getting a lot of views no one is biting though.

Insolvency Bot usually figures quite prominently as a speaker at FLP events, which I always find completely flabbergasting - a simple search of Companies House will show that here company is being wound up, owing the tax man £180K. How can they put her up as an example to follow?

I seem to remember the insolvency practitioner chasing up her unpaid directors' loan said something about her expecting to come into some money in May.

I hope they see the Chairman's Bonus cheque and take that in full off her.

I do hope HMRC are keeping watch. They have an all singing/dancing super computer called Connect. They still need boots on the ground to investigate .
As an ex Tax officer in the revenue prior to HMRC I still keep in touch with some colleagues.

A select few UK Nu Skin bots are currently in Monaco on a success trip, including the Influencer bot from the BBC documentary, she seems to have gone private on Instagram again, clearly expecting some more flak once the doc is aired on BBC1 tonight.
The male bot caught on camera advising Ellie's researcher to distance herself from negative influences has been keeping a low profile since announcing he's going to be a speaker at the upcoming Nu Skin Success Summit in Spain.

I think castle and bruv have locked down their facebook profiles to friends only.
They must know about this thread and can see how incensed everyone got about the hob and messaging the home owners etc.
I’m sure they’ve not been this silent to their followers!
Is anyone on here actually friends with them?

Given the intense media scrutiny that MLM's are under in the UK at the moment this is a potential PR disaster for FLP putting up someone who can be exposed by a simple companies house website search.

I would suggest to our many lurkers out there that if you have a bot in your life who seems portrays a life of success then visit - beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/ and enter their name or biznizz name.

You might be very surprised at what you discover.

@Jonsey32 - that would make sense, as I can see the post where Castle was tagged on her sister's page, but not on hers.

I wonder whether Welsh Upline is speaking as she often does. She’s waving around her $3000 spending money on Facebook.

There is a very young bot in castle's team, who is a pro table tennis player. She is heading off to Sweden soon; I have high hopes she will broadcast all the updates.

So Rarebot is once again not just being tacky, but also slightly stretching the truth.

As a 5K cc qualifier, her "spending allowance" is the equivalent of $2,200, so a bit under £1,700 at today's exchange rate.

Exaggerated income claims, anyone?

I'm a lurker... I have a FL Bot... (in it years and in Stockholm) so why can't I find them on Companies House??

@Pebble21uk - it may be that they haven't set up a limited company (they don't have to, but are advised to once their biznis reaches a certain size).

Ah.. thank you!

Was hob-gate covered on this thread? Roughly what date would I need to go back to, to read what happened?

Around 12 April. On previous thread (bot watch 48) I think

Not all bots have registered a Ltd company. Those low down, so 99.6% of them don't earn anything so no point.

Good to see the upline/downline distinctions being upheld in Stockholm. The hoi polloi get carted around Stockholm archipelago in a river bus, while the likes of Bloodsucker get to do it in speedboats...

I should have pointed out I meant the top bots. The likes of those who claim 6 figure incomes.

Ooooh we might be in luck with Roomie being a bit of a loose cannon again this year but we'll need to be on the ball.

She posted something earlier, basically having a go at the fact that 2 so-called friends had unfriended her on facebook. Had a bit of a rant and then later on obviously thought better of it and removed the post.

So, if she does post something ill-advised (photos, PA rants or whatever) or something that is "negative" it's likely to be removed when she realises (which is her norm - remember the pub garden noise rant?!).

If she's leaving FL as someone suggested earlier she might leave with some great parting shots!

So the amazing bot on the Bloodsucker presentation was No 3 in the UK in 2015 or 2016 - her Forever business was insolvent by 2017 with huge debts. She no longer has a limited company.

Not only is it shocking that she is still up on stage plugging the false dream but the fact they cannot find better poster bots suggests she is still one of the success stories.

Clearly a Forever biz is not forever!

Can someone PM me roomies name please, not a clue who she is haha!

@TheHorseOnSeventhAvenue - she is the bot known variously as John Lewis or Insolvency bot. For some reason they can't stop themselves wheeling her out for the big events...

I’m certainly no expert but my accountant reckons the tipping point is about £36K (real income not gross revenue)
to move to a Ltd company rather than operate as a sole trader???
