Lies, creative accounting and the Law of Reaction. Network marketers, we’re onto you - and so is the BBC:

I have name changed as this is very outing but I know someone who does Younique. She is not black status but has lots of downlines. She has told everyone that her holidays etc are because of younique but she is actually selling pictures of herself on line and videos. It's not hard to find I only have to Google her name and it's all there... Her family know but all her downlines believe she is a completely different person. She actually markets herself as being unbelievably shy and childlike which makes me feel even stranger about it. I am usually each to their own but this feels very disingenuous.

A Younique porn star? What would the Mormon CEOs make of that?

Does anyone know anything about Synergy Worldwide? It's started appearing in my Facebook timeline in the last few months and I'm worried a couple of friends might be getting sucked in.

Looks like another Utah-based nutritional supplement MLM, this time focusing on the oh-so-hot-right-now "gut microbiome" (yes I know there is interesting research in this area but I don't think this is the fast ticket to a healthy gut, somehow.)

Thanks for the advice Storsh49. I want to report here but I'm nervous after the Facebook post where she was trying to find out who'd reported her raffle. She targets the wealthier parents as friends and they all stick together. If I can do it anonymously that's great x

@Rockybooboo sent you a PM x

Castle is still trotting out the same photos from years ago, receiving huge cheques, but no mention of the fact that her latest one was 10% of that amount.
Waffly live on goal setting that made no sense whatsoever.
Give it up, love! You're not a success!

Uber’s son wants to do a ‘charity expedition’ and needs to raise £3k
Pay for it your bloody self uber.

"I spend my time plastering all over social media how rich I have become conning women who can ill-afford it, but I also want you to fund my boy's voluntourism".

Fuck off Uber, you vile excuse for a human.

My DD went on a charity trip to Honduras and met the man who is now her husband.
It was funded by fundraising/her earnings/ BOMAD.

Haha I'm dying at that comment on ubers post. Have one of you posted that?

Fuck sake.

NuSkin reps have their claws into the local council run fitness centres. They are advertising Pharmanex scanner sessions with reps.

I’m actually properly disgusted and may have sent an angry little message questioning the evidence for their claims.

Herbalife bloke up on stage at the Race For Life in Hastings today. Fucksakes.

Bloody hell some of those comments on Uber’s post about her son are hilarious! Her sister is very defensive...

He’s not raising the money all by himself if she’s using all her networks to help him

He’s not doing anything by the sounds of it!

I have to agree with those comments, she's probably got more money than everyone of those defending her put together. Bad enough that's she's probably used the majority of them to get where she is in her 'biz', now she wants them to pay for her kids holiday. No morals in my opinion.

"Of course I could pay for him, but I want him to stand on his own two feet by getting everyone else to pay for him, after all, that's how I got where I am."

Wow he hands over his mobile phone! What an absolute mistake to start with - she was asking for those comments tbh you would get sympathy if he did car washing etc
Very funny though - bet that's the last time she posts.
Well done those people calling out - heroes!

Castle getting in on the act now.

There’s no show without Punch.

Wait, what am I on about? If we’re comparing the tripe on Uber’s Facebook to a Punch and Judy show Castle would be the copper wouldn’t she? Who would be the dog who steals the sausages?

Well done crew 🙂

She can donate the money she must be saving on toilet roll if you get my drift.

There's a world of difference between a young person taking initiative to raise their own funds, and mum passing the begging bowl around people she knows.

And her minions trying to curry favour by donating
