They don't need to be consistent because the churn rate is so high that the current lot of followers/ minions don't know what was being said 2 years ago
These top bots can reinvent themselves constantly

BSintolerant · 14/08/2019 18:24

You would think bots would keep track of the lies and stories they've told !

Why would they when they’ve got us to do it for them? Grin

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 14/08/2019 18:34

Very true!

I have to sit on my hands and try not to post on their fb pointing out their lies sometimes as they'll only delete the comment immediately and I don't want to be blocked.

I might get myself a burner facebook account Grin

Wonder what would happen if someone decided to sign all of the new ex-mlm"coaches" up to the mailing list of all the other ex-mlm "coaches" ? WW3?

fromdownwest · 14/08/2019 20:44

From what I can see the coaches offer coaching programmes for coaches - it’s like Russian dolls

leasedaudi · 14/08/2019 20:46

So they coach people to coach people to coach people? Doesn't anyone do a real job anymore?

MontanaSkies · 14/08/2019 20:50

Well that's a pyramid scheme in itself isn't it? Coaching people to coach other people to become coaches... Ad infinitum.

I get a LOT of these coaching ads pop up in Facebook/insta. They're very clever at never mentioning anything MLM related. Never a mention of any company. Just promises of six figure incomes... I've even noticed a couple of SEVEN figure incomes.

gotmychocolateimgood · 14/08/2019 20:52

Coaching people to coach people to coach people. 😁 Sounds pretty pyramid shaped to me!

YouokHun · 14/08/2019 21:00

Seven figure income and everyone of those figures a zero ...

MontanaSkies · 14/08/2019 21:17

The problem is, it's hard to actually call these people out. They can go all wide-eyed and "What? I'm helping people better themselves and grow their business! I'm empowering people!" If no MLM company is mentioned you can't quote statistics or income disclosure statements at them. However, a scroll through their feed usually throws up all the usual stuff about" manifesting" etc etc.

OMG have you seen Nurse’s ‘competition’???

As she’s getting NO likes or engagement on her page she’s giving a prize to someone who likes and shares her post.

Desperate much???

Whiterangey · 14/08/2019 23:21

To enter my competition all you need to do is like my page, give me two potential victims names who I won't stop bugging for eternity, make them like my page, give me your firstborn child and sacrifice a goat in the name of Forever Living.

If you win you will get a lip balm which you will either need to collect from me, or I will visit you and try and get you to join my team.

gotmychocolateimgood · 15/08/2019 08:12

BBL's latest profile pic makes me sad. Her little girls look thoroughly miserable posing for photos in Mummy's naff shop. I wonder how much of their school holidays they are spending there.

PHD's ramblings about the brain.

Twentytwentyhindsight · 15/08/2019 09:39

Trying to decrypt Sleaze's word salad- is he saying he will be leaving these shores permanently?

Surely he would want to be here for the 'last launch' that will make him and his family secure for ever?

CheekySmile · 15/08/2019 10:28

Nurse’s competition breaks Facebook’s terms of service as your not permitted to ask for shares or tags when running a promotion. Asking for a like on your post or a comment is fine. This is basic knowledge if you run a business Facebook page.

See ‘administration of a promotion’ here
facebook.com/policies/pages_groups_events/

You can report it for spam as it takes advantage of people’s timelines.

CheekySmile · 15/08/2019 10:28

Gah you’re!!

Whiterangey · 15/08/2019 10:32

He can't even afford to leave the country by himself, his recent holiday was staying with his mum. I've got a feeling he won't be jetting of to Monaco.

Does anyone else feel a bit depressed after looking at bot pages?

Yawn is showing off her dinner to make everyone jealous or something. I find her whole food and weight thing incredibly sad.

It's the lies as well, not being able to be you. We're all have bad times in our lives but they can't show it. They are having their income slashed and most will be in financial trouble or heading that way. They can't let that show.

Every single day spending time trying to get people to join with less and less success. It's like groundhog day.

DownThePan · 15/08/2019 10:34

PhDBot's latest live is not a good advert for her £3000 coaching course. She's rambling and talking absolute rubbish.

Twentytwentyhindsight · 15/08/2019 11:06

This comment under Wig 'n' Sleazes post about one of their current Ponzi schemes 'passive income opportunities (it's got numbers and everything, so it must be legit, right):

"Info please guys.
I'm glad I'm in the same passive income streams as you at the moment.
Fx is in the past, pitty I can't get my family and friends money back but hey, looks like I can afford to pay them back with what I'm into now."

This mug has been conned into dragging friends and relatives into losing money in a previous scheme, but is now begging for more of the same- there is no helping some people...

fromdownwest · 15/08/2019 11:16

@whiterangey - The pic post gym after an hour of weighttraining...not an ounce of sweat on Mr's top and Yawn in perfect make up.

I have just done a 5 mile run burning similar calories and look like a little different to that! Oh and I don't post my 5 runs a week on face book as its inane.

fromdownwest · 15/08/2019 11:16

@downthepan - What is she on about, loses her train of thought a lot, swears, slays sabotage...its utter drivel

Norma27 · 15/08/2019 11:54

I always find bots post work out pics weird as no sweat and still perfect make up.
Also how they brag about staying in their sweaty gym gear for meetings etc. I can’t wait to shower and get out of mine after a work out. And if someone turned up to a meeting with me in sweaty, smelly gear I wouldn’t think the best of them.

fromdownwest · 15/08/2019 12:02

That is what most normal people do Norma, we exercise to stay fit, not to sell a fake lifestyle.

Vlogging your runs shows that you are now pushing hard enough. They are told to show all of their life on social media, portray this envious lifestyle.

What most people do as a routine and don't think twice about it, bots post it all over social media.

One would think that having a Starbucks is set aside for the elite the way they post it as a super reward!

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 15/08/2019 12:18

Actually one positive thing you can say about Uber is that her post run/exercise photos often show a realistic red, sweaty face. She clearly is exercising hard to look good for her wedding but I'm pretty sure any weight loss or changes in body weight are NOT down to any FL products!

Yawn's extensive make-up strangely looks intact . Why would you even bother with a full face of slap to go to the gym anyway?! Hell, I might only have mascara on but after 45 mins in the gym it's all over my face and I'm bright red!
