Wow, Iron Bot's insolvency report makes for an interesting read!

I note BBL has a duff shop and does eyebrows now.

Whiterangey · 21/08/2019 23:22

How do I find iron bot?

BangingOn · 22/08/2019 07:42

White she’s high up in Juice Plus, completed an Iron Man last year and talks a great deal online about Juice Plus “achieving time freedom”.

Willow- doesn’t it just? I can’t believe how little she has paid towards the director’s loan debt and it sounds like she’s not been completely co-operative. Maybe even staged a midnight flit?

ClubSandwich · 22/08/2019 09:33

I’m still on page 22 haven’t caught up yet so not sure if this has already been mentioned. Came across this article on fb (sorry it’s DM!) www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-7359673/Student-reveals-makes-hundreds-selling-car-boot-sales-cover-cost-university.html#article-7359673

Money savvy student pushing MLM crap Hmm hopefully it won’t fool anyone but it’s disappointing to see yet another MLM being advertised as a plausible way to make extra money

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 22/08/2019 09:54

Castle is raving about some amazing candles that are better than Jo Malone apparently.

I think she fails to mention that the woman whose business it is, is also from Newport, had a book published by the ex FL "publisher" (and naturally was a "best selling author" ....just like Roomie whose book was through same "publisher") and is involved in various projects her (the publisher).

You scratch my back......

Yet I don't see any #ad at the beginning of Castle's post.

ImpracticalCape · 22/08/2019 10:41

Wig and Sleazes big reveal of their 'peoples business' 'forever home' was supposed to be Monday. No reveal but Wig is vaguebooking a trip to hospital and Sleaze is peddling more conspiracies. Its hardly the activities of 'ground floor leaders'.

I bloody bet it's crypto coffee.

Whiterangey · 22/08/2019 11:16

Not saying that Wig the scamming liar isn't in hospital, but their victims in FX Trading will shortly find out they won't be getting their money and there may be trouble.

You wouldn't be mean to lady who is unwell would you?

My daughter just got her GCSE results, luckily she did well enough that she won't need to shill for an MLM.

Though even if you fail there is always something you can do to move on to the next stage, whether it's retakes, a different course, there is always something. Not everyone is academic, which is just as well as the world would be a worse place if we all had the exact same talents.

MLM is never ever an option.

JasperRising · 22/08/2019 14:58

ClubSandwich she was featured in a BBC article in students making money too - was briefly discussed earlier in thread. I wonder if this is BBC/DM borrowing copy from each other or a concerted effort in publicity.

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 22/08/2019 16:08

Castle's sister's Instagram story suggests that she's had good news so here's hoping it's to do with her health.

It also shows a get well card from her "friends and colleagues" at Lexus.
So she had a J.O.B. then? Kept that quiet!

Spongebobette · 22/08/2019 16:21

Oh that’s interesting!
Another one unsacked the boss then?’

Tupperwarelid · 22/08/2019 17:31

I think Castle’s Sis’s husband works for Lexus. She has documented a couple of trips on Instagram where they have been sponsored by Lexus.

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 22/08/2019 17:58

The wording sounds like she works there too then ... "X, Y and all your friends and colleagues from..."

FranceTeam · 22/08/2019 19:57

A former TS Life bot who has switched to become a “travelpreneur” and “bikinipreneur” has launched a scathing attack on the Messiah on her Facebook page. Saying she has enough info to being down his company. Saying it was “draining” marketing the Ts products and it’s all lies.

Though it does sound like she is trying to poach her former team.

Twentytwentyhindsight · 22/08/2019 21:04

Said former Total Shite-Life bot has got the usual regard for the truth that defines MLM huns. Says she left the Messiah's venture on 25 June but if you scroll back, she was part of his entourage that went to the US for the (very unspectacular) launch in early July.

Also mentions an earlier 'crypto business venture'. The scammy bullshit is strong in this one...

BangingOn · 22/08/2019 21:07

White congratulations to your daughter.

TS Life has been quieter than usual, or I’m just not seeing that much of it on my Facebook feed. It’s certainly lasted longer than I expected.

FranceTeam · 22/08/2019 21:25

Yes, she does seem to jump from one MLM to another. I don’t understand why anyone would sign up to a travel MLM with her, I can’t see that lasting either. And “bikinipraneur” is just total cringe!

BizzzzyBee · 22/08/2019 22:12

Oh dear, my friend has just been suckered into another MLM. This time it’s the Body Shop. We live exactly one mile from a Body Shop outlet where you can buy anything you might want. Not sure why she thinks people will order through her instead of just going to the shop?

This follows the other MLM she failed to make a profit with last year. After months of pestering people and running raffles that were never drawn (£2 a number, she never managed to sell all the numbers so would constantly “roll over” the sold numbers into a new raffle). She finally resorted to begging people to buy otherwise she’d lose her “business” unless she placed an order by the end of the month. And then mercifully she got the boot.

The begging requests to buy Body Shop products and host parties have already begun. And she’s telling me how great it is to be able to work flexibly around her baby and work from home after bedtime, and I should totally join as a consultant. Half an hour ago she posted on her MLM page “let’s start a dance party with gifs!” and texted loads of people saying please can you post a gif so my business looks popular?

Spongebobette · 22/08/2019 22:31

Oh that’s tragic

FranceTeam · 22/08/2019 22:48

For body shop MLM, are the prices the same as the shop ?

gotmychocolateimgood · 22/08/2019 23:07

I think so. £15 for a body butter. I can buy an identical one for £1 in a shop 5 mins walk from my house. There are loads of body shop huns in my village though.

BizzzzyBee · 22/08/2019 23:13

The prices look similar to the Body Shop store prices. My friend said she gets 25% commission and would expect to make £50 from a 2hr party. Which is much better than a min wage part time job. She reckons the brand appeals to teens so she’s hoping there’ll be a wider scope for parties. She seemed confused when I asked if she’d applied for a CRB check.

gotmychocolateimgood · 22/08/2019 23:18

You can't make £50 from a party if nobody books the party, nobody comes or nobody buys anything.

MLMsuperfan · 22/08/2019 23:22

How did Messiah upset the bikinipreneur?

BizzzzyBee · 22/08/2019 23:31

Oh I just feel so bad for her. She’s trying so hard and only her DH is liking and commenting on her posts. I’m genuinely concerned by some of the illegal selling tactics. And also wondering how I can avoid being pressured to buy stuff I don’t want!

Whiterangey · 23/08/2019 03:42

I noticed that Yawn managed to work forever living into a post congratulating BFF's son on his exam results.

GCSE's are not about the parents, they are about the child.

Yawn said BFF dedicated her life to her children. What parent doesn't?

If MLM is so good, why bother with college? Wait until they are 18 and sign them up in your downline. More money than a conventional job, more freedom, and then there is the travel. They can't not succeed, especially as their parents as their upline.

BFF had to borrow £10k last year from a bank to keep her business afloat. Her accounts are depressing for a single mum with 2 children.

Both Yawn and BFF were out of the country for a week when the GCSE's were being sat. Neither had to be there, there was no financial reward for being there, it was just a free trip, a holiday, they had a choice.

Why concentrate so much on their education? Those who go private, why waste the money? As stated by many bots over the past week, you don't need GCSE's to shill MLM shite. Surely entering the family bizniz is better for a child than a J.O.B. They are always harping on about how MLM is the best 'career' path, so it seems strange they seem to want careers for their children. Why not cut the crap and let them start an MLM ASAP?
