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

Nurse's friends are still interacting with her posts when they are about personal stuff, but it's tumbleweed when she posts about her bizness.

Wonder if she's getting the message?

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 12/06/2019 10:09

Now that Yawn's personal Facebook page is set to friends only and we can only see the business one, the lack of posts makes it even more evident that she has nothing to say or post about business.

All her posts were about her and her lifestyle. Without daily selfies she has nothing to say.

Superb article from the Anti-MLM Coalition, currently on part three of a four part report on a distributor who began to have doubts and was horrified once she watched the recent BBC documentary.

You don't have to be a genius to work out who Company X is and neither will you be surprised as to what bots in this company were allegedly told by head office "Head office had advised us all not to watch it. It was just “haters” spreading negativity and it was best to be avoided"

Part 4 to follow soon

ImpracticalCape · 12/06/2019 10:13

@Spongebobette I came on to post almost exactly the same thing! It's so obvious isn't it? Even last month there was the occasional 👍 at Forever post and now it's silence. If she posts about her kid or anything else she gets comments!
She must be realising now. That Kool Aid is potent though....

Spongebobette · 12/06/2019 11:10

Thank you for that @9dartfinish2nd, really interesting!

These parts are a description of what I have seen on Forever Living bots' pages; 'I've been challenged to sell 20 lip balms/ 100 toothpastes' etc etc/

I also discovered online that there were other MLM companies were the uplines who were higher up in the pyramid were part of private social media groups where they shared (in absolute secrecy) tips and tricks on how to dupe their downlines

We were told about this “great idea” where we should buy sixteen toothpastes at approximately £8 each wholesale, keep one to use and to promote on social media, and sell the other 15… I mean, there was no way on God’s green earth that I would ever sell these, I wasn’t selling anything, let alone 15 toothpastes at over £11, this would cost me over £125! We were also advised to do the same the following month with another product and so on, and that our downlines (these are the people who are signed up under you) should do the same.

Hurray for the BBC Documentary - hopefully there are more people out there that start realising how they will never earn any meaningful money with an MLM compared to the effort they have to put in.

I see Yawn's making income claims again.

gotmychocolateimgood · 12/06/2019 20:33

Yawn thinks she's made it big by roping in people with real JOBs in the training sector (what does that mean?), banking sector and another sector. Was distracted by the sunburn. I very much doubt they are going to hang around long love, you look very pleased with yourself though 😂

Looks like Castle's DH is starting up a new business.

Unusual for the husband of a bot to even imply that they're not part of the MLM and/or a kept man let alone admit they are going to be bringing in money elsewhere.

BSintolerant · 12/06/2019 22:56

Looks like Yawn is trying to fool us into thinking that she and other MLM shills don’t just target vulnerable women who are short of money. Is the focus now on vulnerable people who want to escape from their stressful jobs?

Does it matter? No! Everyone’s a potential mark when it comes to cult recruitment.

So I’ve dipped in and out of these threads how do you find out who all the bots are. I have recently joined a fb group (suggested from another fb group) and they sell mlm although not heavily pushed wondered how to find out if they are on your radar?

Jigsawpuzzle · 13/06/2019 13:40

So Uber is too posh to clean, so needs an extra pair of hands to do that so she can do her bizniz.
The bots don’t do irony( or ironing)

Spongebobette · 13/06/2019 15:12

Homeschool bot has 'complete financial security' apparently

ha ha haaaaa

Jigsawpuzzle · 13/06/2019 15:20

So Yawns BFF wants to borrow some steel capped boots as he won’t need them afterwards. Why is it bots don’t want to get their or families hands dirty. My DS uses them but is a well paid engineer, so maybe she has cut her DS career choices.

GimmieTheCoffeeAndNooneDies · 13/06/2019 15:44

God, that's cheap of her; you can buy safety shoes for around the same price as a tube of FL toothpaste.

Twentytwentyhindsight · 13/06/2019 15:50

Having worn safety shoes for most of my working life, what I can say is that I wouldn't put my feet in someone else's.

Surely someone that high up the FL pile can afford the £15/20 for a basic pair?

The eternal senior bot conundrum- caught between "I am considerably richer than you thanks to my biznis & can afford a nanny" and "I can work my biznis in the pockets of time around caring for my kids, so could you"...

spanfan · 13/06/2019 20:23

Has anyone mentioned the Instagram for fullfrontalsamb yet? The lady is s genius and presents some kind of consumer show in the US.

She has posted a short video of her show about MLMs.

It is excellent. She doesn't mince her words (some swearing) and is hilarious too.

You must watch. 😎
