That document is so manipulative!

Whiterangey · 10/09/2019 08:27

Tax bill bot didnt keep up with her payments unsurprisingly.

Jigsawpuzzle · 10/09/2019 08:49

HMRC will leave no stone unturned. I was a tax officer with Inland Revenue and left before it became HMRC.
They now have a super computer which watches your every move.

VoyageInTheDark · 10/09/2019 08:59

A good friend has recently started posting about Younique mascara. She doesn't even wear make up and her posts sound like her account's been hacked as the wording is so different to normal. It makes me cringe.

Twentytwentyhindsight · 10/09/2019 09:09

They are absolutely shameless. Her insolvent company now owes HMRC some £118K. The only money recoverable is her outstanding director's loan of £53K.

She had proposed to pay back £500 a month, plus a lump sum of 'circa £10,000' (her bonus cheque). So far, she has only paid back £1,800, and "the proposals have been defaulted and the director has missed various monthly payments as well as not providing the lump sum expected".

We know she received a bonus cheque of $19K. This money should have gone towards paying back her director's loan (and, indirectly, HMRC). Instead, she is parading her holidays and meals out on FB.

How many teaching assistants could £118K pay for? The woman is a liar and a crook. She has not only conned large numbers of people out of money in her pyramid scheme FLP, but she is now engaged in robbing us all.

Yet, she is still paraded around as one of Forever Living's successes and promoted in company events. If further proof were required that FLP is rotten to the core, here it is,

TheHorseOnSeventhAvenue · 10/09/2019 09:27

Tax Bill describes herself as a Business Start Up Coach. Ironic but so brazen.

Mind you the Start Up is the only bit FL are interested in.

fromdownwest · 10/09/2019 09:43

Any clues on tax bill bot?

Whiterangey · 10/09/2019 12:26

Also known as John Lewis Bot because she used to work there. Just completed the great north run.

Number 12 in the UK on Forever Living UK’s Top 30 Business Owners!

fromdownwest · 10/09/2019 13:51

Ah, Found her. Looks like no attempt to repay here debts.

Are these bots so arrogant, caught up in their bubble that they think that they are untouchable, and are oblivious to the fact that they are very close to losing it all.

or

Are they so arrogant, that they do not care for the rules that us normal folk have to abide by, and do as they please?

Norma27 · 10/09/2019 14:27

Whiterangey I think yawn is making a dig at you with her new purchase. Bet you are bovvered.
We all know her bizniz is definitely not booming. Prob just had her pic taken with it!

Norma27 · 10/09/2019 14:30

Leach’s campaign to stop people buying range rovers definitely worked within forever anyway! Not that we believe she has bought it!

leasedaudi · 10/09/2019 14:40

What happens when tax bot decides not to pay? She's out flaunting her latest hairstyle and drinking coffees at Starbucks. Her insta purports that she's off to Australia soon? Why and how? Fleeing the country to fleece off the Aussies?

Allmyarseandpeggymartin · 10/09/2019 14:57

Hahahahaha look what yawn has called her latest car. What an honour @Whiterangey

AntiBotics · 10/09/2019 14:59

Talk about the law of reaction Grin I never knew it was that powerful! A white rangey and the Gucci belt in one picture!
The fact you have to talk about naysayers and negativity in a post like that is very telling.
Also the post is way OTT and embarrassing. I can’t imagine putting a post like this up and expecting people to fawn over me for such extravagance. Better to be humble about your success, especially when it’s all about to come crashing down!!
Mr Yawn’s J.O.B. must be paying well I guess.

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 10/09/2019 15:08

It's amazing the savings you can make when you send hubby out to work and you start shopping in Primark and New Look Grin

Seriously though, how fucking stupid can you get!
When the bottom is dropping out of FLP, the cheques are non-existent and the public are becoming more and more aware of MLMs why on earth would you lease buy a vehicle like this.

If this is Yawn's way of giving the finger to naysayers and critics (which is what her post suggests) then she's even dumber than I thought.

Spongebobette · 10/09/2019 15:21

Gotta keep up appearances! Imagine how it would look if she downgraded her car. She needs to drive to meet prospective minions in an expensive car, it's part of the strategy to lure them in.

fromdownwest · 10/09/2019 15:28

Utterly foolish at best, a lease on a car like that is easily £500 + PCM

Instead of saving this away for when the ass falls out of your business, you splash it on a middle finger up to the people who are calling you out.

If you think that this gets to us, it just makes it better, one more thing to bring you down when the house of cards falls.

To quote a wise man 'A total Plonker'

Norma27 · 10/09/2019 15:31

Do they not realise the name whiterangey was a pisstake of them in the first place!
And shows they are reading these boards.
Hi yawn and the rest of you losers!! Still conning people out of money.

Also, isnt white the cheapest colour you can buy?

Whiterangey · 10/09/2019 15:35

This is truly bizarre that I got a mention, really really bizarre due to something I have been talking about over the past day.

I was vaguely aware number plates change every 6 months now but not something i.m interested in to be honest,a new car is a new car.

From 1st September number plates are 69 and I have a strong schoolboy sense of humour. I missed out by less than a month and I've been joking about it. Made me giggle to be mentioned in a post about a car with a 69 plate she would have been posting that at the exact same time I was talking about it which is weird.

I dread to think how much hers is costing on a lease, it's not a super expensive car she has, mine is the same price range. I went the environmental route though.

Jigsawpuzzle · 10/09/2019 15:43

Wasn’t Mr Yawn due an inheritance?

9dartfinish2nd · 10/09/2019 15:48

Seems Nu Skin had an event in Birmingham weekend before last, although from the posts of the high profile bots you would never had noticed, some never even bothered to attend.

Oh and the male Nu Skin bot who appeared in the BBC doc advising people to distance themselves from unsupportive people has qualified for his first success trip having never done so previously during the MLM boom years.

Spongebobette · 10/09/2019 15:53

@Jigsawpuzzle
Yes, some inheritance this year. Helpful in keeping the ship afloat while waiting for Forever Living to pick up again. Which is what they all hope and believe

I’m looking forward to the Forever Living Products (UK) company accounts which are due in a few weeks. Should be interesting.

Whiterangey · 10/09/2019 16:20

Especially as the uk moved up a bit in the ranks this year. Is it number 3 the UK is at now?

Nothing will stop the continued MLM decline now, it reached saturation years ago and too many people know the truth.

I think Younique wil be thre next to go. They will wake up one morning to no business. Coty pulling out was the beginning of the end.

9dartfinish2nd · 10/09/2019 16:43

Do not be surprised if Younique are currently giving serious consideration to following Advocare in abandoning the MLM business model.

Then again maybe COTY pulling out will stop that from happening, either way they are in the shit regardless.

Whiterangey · 10/09/2019 17:13

I believe Advocare got in trouble with the FTC and had to move to sales only or they were going to get shut down completely.

It could happen to any of them at any time. They aren't going to tell their reps they ate being investigated.

It shows how little control they have over their own business.

The thing that sticks in my mind is the high up Advocare bot who had to put her house on the market straightaway. In an instant she had no way she could pay the mortgage. Her husband worked with her so they literally had no income and nothing they could do about it.

It was really hard not to feel sorry for them.
