Hello!

Thanks Jasmin!

John Lewis bot posting a great fat v thin pic and attributing it to the aloe gloop

Aaah, good old Insolvency Bot- I see that yet another liquidator has been avoided for her wound up company. I wonder how much of the outstanding tax bill has been met with the (small) bonus cheque she received this year?

Still amazes me that FLP UK push her so hard as a speaker/poster girl. She must know an awful lot about where the bodies are buried...

Twentytwentyhindsight · 16/07/2019 22:47

*appointed, not avoided.

Ladiva1971 · 16/07/2019 22:47

Thank you for new Fred!!

BSintolerant · 16/07/2019 23:17

Thank you Jasmine.

That Valentus article will be giving people sleepless nights, especially if their so-called coffee contains amphetamines as the article alleges.

To think we used to joke about dodgy substances in skinny coffee in the earlier threads! I can recall one poster who said that they’d found a suspicious looking white substance in the coffee they’d bought for research purposes. Good grief ...

BSintolerant · 16/07/2019 23:21

Here is the Valentus article in case you’ve just joined us:

Whiterangey · 17/07/2019 00:56

New fred very much appreciated.

Given that it's mostly the reps who buy the shitty coffee, I can't see this harming Valentus too much unless bans on the coffee being sold start happening.

Sod the illegality of the ingredients, it's the adverse effects it could have on someone that is the concern here.

I believe Valentus don't make the coffee, they buy it in bulk, they may not be 100% sure what is in it, they also may not care. I'm sure there was a lawsuit a couple of years ago regarding the sale of the coffee to Valentus.

I too would love to the see the smirk wiped off of Salon's face. I believe that will happen, it's just a matter of when.

gotmychocolateimgood · 17/07/2019 04:15

Thanks for new thread!

Seems the bots were drinking the coffee, being their own best customer and all, buzzing on it and posting ever more ridiculous crap about it.

CodenameVillanelle · 17/07/2019 05:46

Grin of the coffee does in fact contain speed I wouldn't be surprised if it got more popular!
It's probably the legal amphetamine you can get in expensive slimming pills. Can't remember what it's called but my friend got a private prescription for some.

dickiedavisthunderthighs · 17/07/2019 06:47

I think it's ephedrine Villanelle.

Wig's been tagged in some photos of a holiday resort she's going to that frankly looks cheap as shit.

SSDGM · 17/07/2019 07:17

Place marking.

I tried the coffee a couple of years ago and yes, it was disgustingly cheap tasting and had gritty white bits in it. I also lost no weight and around the same time got an abnormal liver function test that went away after I stopped drinking it.

ImpracticalCape · 17/07/2019 07:20

I've a bot who posts the same picture every day of her bloody skinny coffee in a Mrs Browns Boys mug atop a filthy kitchen counter.

Attraction marketing my arse!!

Looks like the boxer Amir Khan has got himself involved in promoting Isagenix.

There's a video of him talking about how he uses the products and the huns are fawning all over him.

Taken from bovney's superb post from the previous thread...

"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,

Because it's not all about selling great products it's all about how many people you a recruit, defeats the point.

After a successful evening of getting everyone food and drink and clearly creating another team of superstars she is after even more.

FranceTeam · 17/07/2019 11:57

I’m intrigued as to what the buried bodies could be 20-20 ?

gotmychocolateimgood · 17/07/2019 12:05

I want to know this too!

BSintolerant · 17/07/2019 13:42

My guess is that it’s something to do with how much the shills earn from the shadow pyramid, i.e the mindset training and all that. That’s probably where most of their money comes from. Wouldn’t surprise me if they were paid to keep quiet about that.

There is a Body Shop at Home bot and a Tropic bot posting on a local ladies group on Facebook just now. B@h bot asking every few weeks for people running brownies/guides/community groups in need of fundraising. Makes my blood boil! Nobody seems to be seeing through it. Plenty of people tagging brownie leaders etc.
I might send a message to admins to ask about their mlm policy.

foreverastri2 · 17/07/2019 15:28

Just place marking 😁

MLMhun · 17/07/2019 15:59

I’m getting harassed by a Voxx socks bot. Apparently her brother who was in a bad motorcycle accident 20 years ago and been in constant pain since was instantly painfree after putting them on. Sure hun.
