Receipt bot used aloe cream on her horse. Did a before and after pic of the wound. Made me really uneasy. I would much rather a vet looked at it.

spanfan · 19/09/2019 12:25

Someone in Valentus was apparently nominated twice.

She's expanding the truth so much it might need a new universe to hold it. 😂😂😂😂

Twentytwentyhindsight · 19/09/2019 12:30

Speaking of Valentus, the bots are all aglow about the company now officially being recognised as a thinly-disguised pyramid scheme by being accepted into the DSA.

Jigsawpuzzle · 19/09/2019 12:46

I think Nurse went off grid for a few days as coming home would have to be something serious, so getting on the bandwagon so soon I don’t buy it.
Castles sis. Why plaster something so private on fb. I have 2 family members dying from lung cancer but they don’t find it necessary to share with all and sundry for sympathy votes
Aloe on animals I don’t buy either.

darceybussell · 19/09/2019 14:59

Delurking to say wow, Castle's sister, I am gobsmacked that someone could write a huge story on Facebook about their cancer treatment, being so open and honest, and then stick a load of hashtags at the end including #adifferentkindofentrepreneur. Because even going for fucking chemotherapy is an opportunity to recruit more people into your stupid MLM business! Just stop! You have so many more important things to worry about!

JackDelaney · 19/09/2019 16:13

@spanfan

Yes. I looked into that nobel prize nominated claim a while back. It's complete fabrication.

It's the Emulin product and the creator is claimed to have been a nobel peace prize nominee. I checked the peace prize nominees for the years claimed and it was not true. Not that really matters if he was a peace prize nominee, it would not make one iota of difference as to whether the product claims are correct.

Also, this guy has worked with other MLMs in the past and ditched his last MLM to give Valentus exclusivity on the product. It's just a scam supplement which is not surprising considering it's Valentus we're talking about.

Just seen this on Instagram which looks to be a step in the right direction, hopefully they'll react to MLM posts in the same way

ticktock19 · 19/09/2019 17:03

It would help if I added the screenshots 🤦‍♀️

Wasn’t Salon involved in this one?

MarklesBananas · 19/09/2019 21:12

I don't get the sympathy for Nurse at this point. She is actively trying to con people. Therefore, she knows that money is made via recruiting.

If she wanted a theme park visit so bad, there are bank shifts. A childminder or nursery may cost X but it is less than a nurses pay.

Currently. She's just a less successful Yawn. There has to be ethical issues with the NMC regarding the selling of aloe. I wouldn't trust her with my patient. I'm a gp and I feel very concerned about Uber's Gp.

Whiterangey · 19/09/2019 21:35

Salon was involved in Traffic Monsoon. That will take a while for them to sort it out

I feel sorry for Sis, I know others have it worse, but she's gone through some crap and cancer, no matter what stage, will shake your world up. I feel sorry for her Mum and Dad as well. She's obviously gone private, likely paid for by Mum and Dad who will be feeling absolutely bloody helpless to make things better while watching their baby go through the operations and now chemo. I feel for them, I really do.

When playing the 'who has it worse?' game, I usually win. Forever living shite has been touted to my people as something to help or a cure before. If Sis knew me in real life she would probably try and recruit me, using what I get sympathy for as my weak point. I know they tried to recruit one of my people. One of my people means others like the group of people i'm one of.

I'm being purposefully vague so as to not out myself, I have people to protect.

Being strong and fighting doesn't work, what does is what has saved Sis's life, it's research and drug development. All the sympathy in the world won't save my people, it's those boffins with the heads the size of planets who will.

We are all human here and i'm certain we all are capable of feeling bad for her. That said though, if she is continuing to scam, which she is, i'll continue to call her, and her family out on it. If she is using her illness for scamming purposes, i'll call her out on that too on here.

Whiterangey · 19/09/2019 21:40

I believe Nurse has been truly brainwashed. She's mentioned wanting more IVF. The power to procreate is strong, and if you need some expensive help with that, then that's a strong motivator to make you ripe for brainwashing.

BOTwarrier · 19/09/2019 21:41

Criticising people for doing mlm is one thing, everyone is entitled to an opinion, but sitting in judgement of someone so poorly is absolutely distasteful. If you are looking to stoop this low I’m sure The Sun have openings for journalists 🤔

MarklesBananas · 19/09/2019 22:06

My revitalU bot signed up under her old Younique upline.

She looks amazing!

Except I can use my eyes in real life. She actually gained weight. All the pictures and "testimonials" are shopped. You can literally see the curve in the shop around the waist.

I'm fat. So is she. Her fake pictures mean bull. And as she's a mental health nurse (who also "carnt" spell) I'm concerned she's preying on her patients

MarklesBananas · 19/09/2019 22:11

I had cervical cancer before I conceived my miracle child.

I was shitting myself literally. I lost my hair. All of it.

Never once did I think about posting a picture #buymyshit

I'm a gp. And this sickens me

Whiterangey · 19/09/2019 22:33

I'm sorry but I love stories like yours. Knew someone who had cancer and it was 100% that she would be infertile, no chance, absolutely zero. Her periods had stopped, everything, no chance.

She had been in remission for 4 years and then started feeling unwell, then her stomach swelled a little, absolutely devastated after being so well for so long. Oncologist confirmed he could feel something and that it was going to be a tumour. It's obvious where the story is going and what they found when they scanned her to find out the extent of the tumour.

As a GP have you ever had any bots try and shill you their wares?

willdoitinaminute · 19/09/2019 22:48

I watched my beautiful sister battle breast cancer when she was in her early thirties. She had multiple surgeries when everything went wrong, lost the chance to have a family and we thought she wouldn’t see her 40s. Well she celebrated her 50th birthday recently. She’s a tough cookie! Has done iron man competitions, runs 5ks every weekend and generally puts the rest of us to shame. Not once has she broadcasted her health on FB or used it to further career. She celebrates silently each year when her annual check up passes without concerns. Like many people who beat cancer it doesn’t define her or the rest of the family. So forgive me when I agree that Castles sisters behaviour leaves me cold.

MarklesBananas · 19/09/2019 23:06

Never directly. But I've had supplement and oil users come in and praise them.

I mostly point out the basics and recommend they access CAB. I don't ha e time in my apt to go full on.

SSDGM · 20/09/2019 00:04

@BOTwarrier people don’t suddenly become beyond reproach because they get ill. Sis is still actively trying to recruit off the back of her misfortune. Ffs, a few years ago colleagues of hers in the same business were selling that aloe shit as a fucking cancer cure. She’s not suddenly a saint now she’s unwell. That doesn’t mean I don’t wish her a full recovery. I sincerely do. I’m sure everyone does.

Gotmychocolateimgood · 20/09/2019 11:44

Check out PhD and her post about this thread

I really would not be drawing attention to it if I were her!

Spongebobette · 20/09/2019 12:18

Wow.

I’m sure you aren’t reading this, PhD bot, because you said you won’t read these threads any more, but I’d just like to say that if you continue to try to explore people by hooking them into MLMs, or try to get people to pay you money for to business coaching when you clearly have no expertise or qualification to do so, we will continue to point this out.

Spongebobette · 20/09/2019 12:31
  • exploit not explore

d'oh

Norma27 · 20/09/2019 12:33

Ha ha PhD. That gave us all a good laugh.
Maybe if you stop conning people out of their money, we won’t have to pull you up on your lies etc.
