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

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.

@Twentytwentyhindsight no way that's so sad, do you think she will ever see the light? I was only in 18 months or so, my DP used to say it was like watching Will Smith in the pursuit of happiness selling them x-ray machines. I used to stock up to sell at wedding fairs and stalls, no one ever paid the high price tag. Ended up selling most of the stock on eBay cheap.

Another thing the bots told us on that eye opening training - if anyone asks how your biz is doing it's "amazing" they don't have to know if it's amazingly good or amazingly bad . Also car incentives.... my up line got a brand new Range Rover - posted on Facebook how well biz is going... found out on a training weekend she just could afford that car and didn't even qualify for the incentive.

All Nurse originally wanted was to be able to take her kid to a theme park. With what she has already sunk into subsidising Yawn's declining empire, she could have easily done that by now.

By dangling total lies fantasies of what her biznis will allow her to do, Yawn is blinding her to the fact she is nowhere near her original goal. Vile.

Yup, justsay, seen it all at close quarters- the uplines parading lifestyles that were clearly either fake or affordable thanks to DH's high-paying J.O.B. or inherited money.

It was pretty obvious to me from the start, but she was very quickly indoctrinated into seeing any words of caution on my part as negativity and not wanting her to be successful.

Perhaps foolishly, I told myself we would just have to take it on the chin until she realised she wasn't making anything, rather than cause a row that could split the family. I didn't quite realise how far down the rabbit hole she was. Had I known, I'd have cut my losses then.

I'm not so sure that Roomie will be going. She doesn't seem to post anything aloe related these days - it's all about "shining her light" as part of some other cult group these days.

Also I noticed that she isn't bigging up her team or love-bombing them on their pages these days. She didn't even like a post from one of them who was excited about going (presumably paying her own way as she's a lowly minion) let alone comment anything about seeing her there.

Shame as she was unintentionally the highlight last year (well, that and Yawn not getting a cheque of course!)

Have you seen bloodsuckers live from yesterday, panning around the room with a ship in the background live singers at tea etc. How many bots on their phones tapping away no time to relax even at dinner to busy tapping away. BORING put your phone away and have some fun in real life!!!

Had Castle left her phone at home and that’s why there’s no social media posts? Mr Castle is posting more than usual though to make up for it.

I don't reckon Roomie will go either. Although she did try to flog a C9 not so long ago, there's only enough attention span for one cult at a time. Shame, really...

Although it was genius to put it out there that she was going. Yawn will be unable to relax for one second thinking she may turn round at any point and see the rictus grin and camera phone...

A bit without a phone?! Devastation castle will be one sad boy this week if that's the case

Grrrrr autocorrect bot not "bit" or "boy"

Roomie was in the car with Yawn when they set off for Stockholm..

Going back a couple of pages, but Hairy Lift is the name of the latest Juice Plus product launch so could be that.

I have been blocked by Yawn on everything except her business page too. Means I can only half stalk which is a shame.

Teddy roomie wasn’t in car. It was bff (dark hair) and another bot sharing with bff (blonde hair with no bot name yet).

Teddy, that is BFF's "+ one" and downline, not the Roomie.

BanginOn, same here. I just set up a burner alt-account to stalk bots that have blocked me for whatever reason. It means I can only go on there on the computer, rather than the phone, but that just makes it a rarer treat.

I finally sat down to watch the MLM BBC Documentary. I was initially disappointed when I heard that FL was not featured but seeing it I can understand why Nu skin and Younique were featured.
It’s astonishing how these mlm’s Follow the almost exact pattern. Preying on vulnerability and people’s dreams.
It’s clear that they are pyramid schemes moonlighting as ‘businesses ‘ where the customer is the business owner because they are the only ones purchasing the products!!

At least with FL you can sell bits and bobs to family and friends and the products are ok . But the Younique products are so expensive!

Overall a great insight in to the mlm world.

@user1479228519 I think the only reason FL wasn't in the limelight was because she would have had to pay £200 to join. The products are well overpriced for what they are

I wonder if the bots partake of the complimentary toiletries. I often bring some home and pop them into the food banks.

You all seem clued up ... I have a bot friend involved with “Isagenix” ... what actually IS it?

Could someone please message me with who you are following so I can follow too? My best friend has been sucked into this unfortunately

@WhatOnPlanetEarth - if you scroll down this page, there is an alphabetical list of MLMs, you'll find Isagenix on there, and it ain't pretty...

Isagenix is overpriced sugar-laden weight loss bollocks. You lose weight through the accompanying heavily calorie restricted diet plan.

Same culty bollocks as all the other companies.

Yawn’s cocktail post with designer accessories strategically placed in shot.

Those videos of fab training and new products are underwhelming. The crowd are also sufficiently underwhelmed, going by the lacklustre response to "are you excited?"

The supergreens claims are a bit vague, aren't they? I wonder what evidence they have to support those. pH balance, muscle recovery...

It must be soul destroying sitting through this nonsense for several days.

OOoooooohhhhhh, I've just had a friend request from an Inteletravel bot. Turns out we're both members of a chronic illness support group. Should I accept her request and see how long it takes for her to try and recruit me?

Definitely accept!

Nurse bot is excited for the new products!
