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

The educated bot has flown business class once and now is asking if people would want her to do a review on flying business class and travel tips, because she flies so much.

I can see the points guy fearing for his throne!

“Brother Bot business coach and mentor “ Facebook page has photos of the recent cheques on including sis/castle. He’s cosying up with welsh bot quite a bit. And saying things like well done to my business partner representing x country. I thought he was quite low down though and wouldn’t he have got a cheque if he had a half decent team? It’s confusing.

Castle Bruv is also talking about his forthcoming trips to the Bahamas and Australia.

Castle Bruv is going nowhere. He is a prize bullshitter who hangs on to his sister's coat tails and likes to describe members of her team as his own in the hope of basking in some reflected glory.

As it happens, the way things are going, there is less and less to reflect...

Brace yourselves everyone, there's about to be a deluge of Forever Living hunbots crowing about their eyeliner winning an award.

CatherineCookson · 09/07/2019 23:03

Wig and Sleaze have moved on from FX and are now bigging up promotions in a new scam Xsinergia - not sure what a Bronce level is mind but how long do we give this scam to fall apart?

dickiedavisthunderthighs · 09/07/2019 23:20

Just looked up the 'awards'. It's run by a woman down in Woolwich and cost £100 per product per entry, plus six full size products per entry.
And the 'expert' panel is secret.

ImpracticalCape · 09/07/2019 23:26

@dickiedavisthunderthighs anyone can set up a beauty awards and it's only for 'new to market' products. Who else do we think might have been bothered to apply in the 'eyeliner' category?

Assuming they applied in other categories too it's a woeful showing.

MLMsuperfan · 10/07/2019 09:23

LOL@ Sleaze winning BRONCE.

Castles BFF had forgotten to renew her kids passport and needs it asap. Asked if anyone knows anyone who works for the passport office that could do her a favour and get it done quicker.

Don't think passport officers do favours for obvious reasons.

fromdownwest · 10/07/2019 10:44

Don't you know who I am? They must really struggle when their internal entitlement is not reciprocated in the real world.

Norma27 · 10/07/2019 10:48

I love their entitlement. I don’t want to follow the rules so who can bypass the system for me?
Next time maybe they will check their passports first.

Twentytwentyhindsight · 10/07/2019 11:12

"Does anyone know anyone at the passport office (...) to call in a go our to speed it up?"

Looks like a prima facie case of conspiracy to corrupt a public official.

Twentytwentyhindsight · 10/07/2019 11:14

*to call in a favour to get it speeded up - damn autocorrect...

Norma27 · 10/07/2019 13:32

Wonder if she used to fo ‘favours’ when she was a police officer.

SSDGM · 10/07/2019 13:35

Killing myself laughing at “Bronce” - FX Trafing website has gone bye bye and the head has told everyone in the VIP Facebook group that they are adults who made their own decision so can’t blame him for losing their money.

I’d LOVE to know how much wig and sleaze lost this time.

BSintolerant · 10/07/2019 13:37

Why did I read that as “Bonce” level? Grin

Not for kids you can’t. Under 16’s take s week, minimum.

Whiterangey · 10/07/2019 15:07

Bronce is my new favourite word.

Don't worry about their losses, they will gain them back in their two other ponzis.

Cloud Token which they recently joined and is having withdrawal problems and xsinergia which I don't know much about. They aren't even good at making a profit from scamming.

Jonsey32 · 10/07/2019 15:10

Oh my god- someone suggested she could fly with the child on an expired passport and asked if she knew anyone on check-in at the airport!

I hope to god people on check in don’t do favours for people with with expired passports! There’s the small bit of getting through passport control too! Hopefully they don’t do favours for people either! 🙄

Some glittering income figures for FL here.

pages.foreverliving.com/income

Only 11% get any bonus, and of that figure less than 1% earns anything approaching a live-able income.

I don't believe that 89% of people sign up for the discount alone either.

Extract here:

•	The majority of people who join Forever simply enjoy the products at a discounted price. As a result, in an average month during 2018, 88.6% of purchasers globally did not receive any meaningful compensation or earnings from Forever. Many others start their Forever business by selling part-time to their personal contacts as a way to make a little extra money.
•	11.4% of monthly purchasers earned a volume-based bonus from the sales made by those they sponsored along with retail profits of 35-48% on all products they have sold personally.
•	Within this group of bonus qualified business owners are those who spend a few minutes per week to those who spend full time working their Forever businesses:
◦	69% of this group earned an average of $105 per month ($1,263 annualized) in bonus earnings.
◦	30% earned an average of $1,493 per month ($17,916 annualized) in bonus earnings.
◦	Our highest earners,

As far as I’m aware the rules were changed in 2016 and checking the government website there’s no option to get a passport on the day for an under 16. Happy to be proved wrong, but I knew the rules changed a while ago.

Fables1003 · 10/07/2019 23:34

Lmfao, Valentus hun and femalepeneur who left then came back again charges £499 a month for her top package as a business coach. Who does she think she is? 😂

Spongebobette · 11/07/2019 08:37

wow @Bovneydazzlers that's interesting.

I bet that even if you showed that to newly botted FBOs they'd still believe that they'll be one of the less than 1%; the brainwashing has worked s well.

I note that Yawn has been hosting weekly training in her garden shed for a group of women from Bristol who have all drunk deeply from the Kool-Aid. They all seem to be Christian women and POC and it worries me that Yawn has tapped in to that community.
