That's probably the aspect I dislike the most. By posting it so publicly, Uber is putting pressure on her impoverished downlines to show their support by parting with yet more money to support her family's lifestyle. Bloody vulture.

A GoFundMe for your child to go on holiday when you just got a $400k cheque?

That is what this is. I'd go without my phone for a week for how much that GoFundMe has raised. I'd consider that fantastic for that amount of money and not a hardship.

He should be earning the money if she wants to teach him life skills not doing something pathetic while his mother fund raises on his behalf.

@cazzyg

A group of Nu Skin huns have been doing this for a while now.

It's the Biophotonic scanner they are pushing on people at gyms and health clubs across the country.

Interesting article from back in 2010 questoning this product.

The irony of castle & sis supporting her after the Stockholm cheque fiasco. I don’t like them normally posting photos of their children but I await the photos of sons endeavours and wish him well. Good for the CV.

It’s a holiday and life experience with branding to make it look altruistic.
Used by well-off families to enhance child’s CV and prospects
These often appear on UCAS personal statements. Admissions tutors (blushes) can tell if the applicant has actually worked hard to pay for such a trip or whether they are just fortunate to have the means within the family.

According to PhD, if you believe that what you want in the same way that you believed in Santa Clause [sic.], they will manifest in the same way your Xmas presents turned up.

Riiight PhD, because it was the kids belief in Santa that magicked them into existence. Should have saved myself the bother and expense of finding out what they wanted, buying an wrapping it etc. I feel such a fool now!

Honestly, how can anyone ever have taken this airhead seriously?

Jigsawpuzzle · 10/06/2019 13:32

I see it’s in India. A Global business opportunity for the bots no doubt.

Paddy1234 · 10/06/2019 16:20

Castle may have supported her with words but no cash forthcoming 😂

I’m feeling charitable today. Should we have a whip-round to buy our gushing bots and shills one of these? Grin

@9dartfinish, that link didn't work for me

BSintolerant · 10/06/2019 21:04

Looks like that photo didn’t upload properly too. Let’s try again.

That's weird BS, both your posts worked for me when you first put them up.

After the rush to defend Uber yesterday , they are now quiet on the congrats front.

I am shocked and surprised that given the oodles of money that bots have and the utter love and support the have for each other, that the bot at the top of the pile can only muster 4% of 'her' target a measly £170 from 8 of her 18k followers.

I assume that Castle's cheque is in the post.

Wig and Sleaze seem a lot happier now that FX Trading is funding them so they can enjoy pure time freedom.. well that and signing up more mugs for other ponzis and posting on FB when they're in meetings.

Dunno why everyone isn't investing for a 3.6% daily investment either - sounds so legit.

fromdownwest · 11/06/2019 21:51

FX Trading is the new MLM - articles in main stream media about 21 year olds earning 200k pa from it. Scary as you can lose your coat in seconds

Twentytwentyhindsight · 11/06/2019 22:04

FX Trading is pretty much hitting the point at which Ponzi schemes implode. As the third generation of mugs get to the stage when they can finally withdraw the pile of virtual cash they have watched growing, all of a sudden the platform will start to glitch and their cash will disappear...

Rinse & repeat.
