Ooh @jonrotten tell us more! Who is her "upline"?

Hello.

Long time lurker and I’ve finally reset my password so I can post.

I’ve a friend who is apparently in Stockholm at the mo (but she was seen in town today - it’s billy bullshitter week).

She’s been sucked in good and proper to forevershite over the past 18 months.

I used to run a community group where we would put on craft fairs and I would always sell her a table, beyond my better judgement as I felt sorry for her. She’d sell fuck all, obviously.

I felt sorry for her as I used to peddle Cambridge Diet about 14 years ago. I stoped when a Herbalife bot threw a punch at me at a fitness day.

I know who you are all talking about on here, been looking (read stalking) them for a while. I’ve been warning my friend.

Anyway, just wanted to pop on.

After my shit experience so many years ago, I can’t believe this shit is still so big.

I am loving Yawns vids!

Agh sorry, pressed post on first message before
I’d finished!

She says she’s in Stockholm.
No pics or vids.
But a mutual friend at playgroup today said she’d
Seen her at Tesco.
Hence billy bullshitter week!

According to the dsa website, no. But Nuskin is.

The I thought the documentary was pretty dismal and a totally wasted opportunity; more Ellie Girl Reporter than cutting edge. It was all Ellie typing, Ellie walking, Ellie making phone calls, Ellie gazing into the distance, Ellie looking serious etc. The bit where she set up a stall was just stupid, the trip to Utah was pointless, and as for the close ups of clothes pegs, words fail me.

@jonrotten a punch by a bot! WTF!! I'm sorry to hear that!

@jonrotton why did the Herbalife bot try to punch you?

@dadandmum - neither Yawn nor her BFF got a cheque, not even a Tube of Shame cheque.

Our tables were put next to each other at a gym event.

Herbalife and Cambridge are the same sort of evil crap and she went crazy. Honestly, I’ve never seen anything like it. Instead of asking for one of us to be loved she accused me of trying to
Sabotage her.

I had to get (now) exh to come and pick me up, she was completely off her head shouting at me that I was taking her business.

It was then I thought fuck it.

The turning point should have been being told to lie about ingredients to people who were trying to avoid aspartame and soy and trying to get vulnerable people to join my team. But that was it that day. Luckily I was ‘only’ £400 in at that point.

*moved, not loved.

Woodentoykitchen Drive by Avon😂

That doesn't smell of desperation does it?

I took a mis delivered parcel to a neighbour last year and the second she answered the door she was trying to flog me Avon. I still had the parcel in my hands!
I cross the road to avoid her now....

Here’s what the Bot Watch blog says about the DSA in a post about MLM Bingo:

It’s not a scam. My MLM is regulated by the Direct Selling Association.

The DSA have had many pyramid schemes in their ranks before. These companies were saying they were legitimate because of their membership. Just before they were shut down.

Look up Vemma, Trek Alliance, Your Travel Biz and Equinox International.

Also, our friend Eyes posted this about the DSA on his blog which is very interesting:

I have been wondering if Yawn's phone got broken during a ruckus of some sort. Maybe she & Roomie were re-united?

I've just looked on the Herbalife website,and one of the benefits is reduced stress...

@Gimme she didn’t get the memo 😂

Cambridge is the reason I hate FL. Crap shakes, crap promises.

They rely on people yo-yo dieting and feeling like shit.

Also, I don’t know if anyone had mentioned it on previous threads, but the documentary “Betting on Zero” is about Herbalife and is very eye opening.

Cheers folks!

Well I've just sat down with a glass of wine and read the last 200+ posts since I last caught up with this thread before lunch.

Some impressive drops in cheques there (numbers of cheques and amounts) - the likes of Yawn, who think they're a FL success just because they've spoken at a few events or get wheeled out as a "face of FL", must be shitting their pants about how they're going to pay their mortgage, car leasing bills etc. How can they possibly con the likes of nursebot when they're not even getting a cheque themselves?!

Jonrotten There's a woman on my road who drives a Cambridge Diet branded car. I'm very tempted to write 'scam' all over it.

And she's shit at reversing off her drive and knocks over her wheely bin every bin day.

@canoe they have branded cars now? Jesus Christ.

I’m glad I was in before social media or I’d have made myself a laughing stock.

I genuinely thought I’d make money from selling the products. Oh, naive 26 year old me! It’s all about being a ‘sponsor’.

Quickly folks.....

....get yourself over to Roomie's Instagram and look at the comment on the photo of the plane wing

Is that one of you lot having a laugh PMSL

Have Uber and Bloodsucker got their cheques yet ... £?

For those asking for names, we can't share, but if you want to see who are the top 10-20 forever business owners, the info is readily available on the internet.

I am completely perplexed by Man Bot. Who is in his downline?

I'm clairejellyforliving, and so's my wife!

Can't be anything but a piss-stake, hats off to whoever!

Sadly she looks like a real bot. She's "building up a six figure income"
