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

That work from home group is truly depressing, seeing all those desperate people asking "for info" is so aggravating.

PandaEyeMask · 15/07/2019 18:35

But interestingly,in that group, you never see FL

Special mention to MLM police and Mombie who have ramped up their Anti-MLM efforts of Facebook of late.

SSDGM · 15/07/2019 20:45

Argh, I’m not in that group. Does someone want to remind him about how he’s so successful that his Facebook friends had to put him up in a Travelodge because he was sleeping in his car?

And I’ll say it, if he’s never abused that woman, verbally or physically, I’ll eat my fucking hat.

Nurse is having another fb party tomorrow at 8pm. Cos the last one was so successful.

PHD was messaged by someone on Instagram - base of message, looks like your brand was built on a budget and a 4 year old has done your design work. Ouch.

This person clearly doesn't know she is a multiple six figure earner...

How do the travel MLMs work? I keep seeing more and more of them on social media

RelativePitch · 16/07/2019 17:00

@Ayla88 if you're thinking Inteletravel which is part of PlanNet you pay around £140 for your joining fee, your training video and then subsequently £32 a month to stay an active member and have use of the booking screen. The holidays sold aren't particularly competitively priced and you don't get that much commission. The key is getting a downline and you will get £35 for every new sign up £18 I think if it's a sign up through your downline and then you get £2 or £3 a month for everyone of your downline who stays active. So you need to think about recruiting 1000s of people in order to get life changing amounts of income. But it's cheap to stay in it compared to other MLMs where you need to spend quite a lot per month to stay in the commission structure and you don't end up with a garage full of gloop you can't shift. It's massively taken off where I live.

Ayla88 · 16/07/2019 17:15

@RelativePitch thanks! I see it all over social media these days. All the usual red flags of talking about a ‘business’ without saying what it is, lots of lifestyle bragging and talk of commission

Valentus are in big trouble let me tell you. I for one, can not wait to see the smirk go from Salons face.

"Occur naturally in nature" - priceless!

Twentytwentyhindsight · 16/07/2019 18:27

Also: "...claims the product contains ingredients, which it does not."
An ingredient-free product- truly miraculous! How could you fail to be convinced by this?

Vhun123 · 16/07/2019 18:29

Yes, dodgy Dave was never the brightest spark.

ImpracticalCape · 16/07/2019 20:18

Anyone able to see nurses business presentation? It's tumbleweed over there

CodenameVillanelle · 16/07/2019 20:26

I can't see it - where is it?

gotmychocolateimgood · 16/07/2019 20:34

Yes I watched a few seconds of it. Was the only one watching. The content is exactly the same as last time.

ImpracticalCape · 16/07/2019 20:37

I couldn't see it either Villanelle

gotmychocolateimgood · 16/07/2019 20:41

"TUE, JUL 16

Jack it in, Nurse. It's not working.
