@Lilacandlavendar

Welcome to the thread - Yes Inteletravel is an MLM and a pretty controversial one at that.

Here's a couple of articles you might want to read.

botwatch.blog/2018/04/05/all-you-need-to-know-about-inteletravel/

The decision to award them ABTA membership in March this year went down like a lead balloon within the Travel industry apparently.

Castles instagram post about having a bad morning then turning it around and that you can change your mood like flicking a switch.

Someone replied and ripped into get about how she has never suffered great loss and glow you can't just turn things off. The replier had been through a lot.

Whiterangey · 05/09/2019 14:18

For pain comparison purposes the person who replied lost their son.

I'm not one for comparing pain and what people have gone through but losing a child is the worst thing you can go through. I know people who have lost a child and it is possible for someone to still breathe when they are utterly destroyed. It's horrible to witness so I can't imagine what it's like to live it.

According to one of the comments in that article its now £156 to join and £46 a month therafter to be an Inteletravel member.

Red flags all over the place!!

Spongebobette · 05/09/2019 18:05

Of you can persuade enough people to give you 50 quid a month for access to a website you are quite clever

ShutUpScienceBitch · 05/09/2019 23:25

My friend ex-FLP is doing Inteletravel (Plannet) and doing rather well. She has over 200 bots in her downline. All her posts are about recruitment, joining the team, bossbabe, vision boards, law of attraction NEVER about promoting holidays. Not a jot.

Norma27 · 06/09/2019 06:32

I really cannot stand Mr Homeschool. His last live is awful. Trying to get WOMEN to pay him to tell them they have low self esteem. He rambles on about how counsellors, psychologists etc are no good and can’t do what he will. I find him really frightening and manipulative. Fucking charlatan.

ImpracticalCape · 06/09/2019 07:04

@Gotmychocolateimgood me too!!! Confused

SSDGM · 06/09/2019 07:24

Inteletravel have had their access to book Tui package holidays suspended due to suspected fraud. This happened within a week of them getting switched on.

Mario Falcone off of the telly is growing a VERY big downline at the minute with Inteletravel but when asked pertinent questions by people who actually work in travel he’s very handy with the block button.

Some Intele agents are making bookings, but their GDPR compliance regarding payments and passenger details is questionable at best. They also don’t get commission until after the passenger has travelled, unlike traditional home working agents who get paid when the customer pays their holiday balance.

Spongebobette · 06/09/2019 07:39

Dodgy as

Spongebobette · 06/09/2019 07:54

Urgh mr Homeschool is a real leech.

He’s basically getting women to sign up to a ‘free’ course so he can upsell the paid one.

‘How cool is that?’ NOT THE SLIGHTEST BIT COOL.

Btw is beard stroking the male equivalent of hair fiddling?

Oh and the dismissive ‘Christmas isn’t a season mummy’ near the beginning... he calls his wife mummy. OK then.

BSintolerant · 06/09/2019 09:00

Oh dear. Someone should inform daddy that Christmas is a religious season and bot watchers have declared open season on scamming cunts like him.

Gotmychocolateimgood · 06/09/2019 09:37

Newsflash from PhD this morning: Your Upline are lying to you and costing you money.
Words fail me.

Gotmychocolateimgood · 06/09/2019 09:43

@ImpracticalCape who is spamming you? 🙂

Spongebobette · 06/09/2019 10:18

Oh god PhD bot is awful
I can’t bear to watch her hair flicking
She rambles on and on.
Throws in some swears (so professsional)
It’s amateur hour. I think she’s really bored, doesn’t know anyone there, has no job and is using FB lives to get some narcissistic supply

fromdownwest · 06/09/2019 11:35

She is quite an enigma, she is basically telling everyone to do everything that runs in the face of MLM's

Have your own brand, have your own identity, don't listen to your upline, its not monkey see monkey do....

Oh, and by the way do you want to join my MLM or buy my overpriced training programme on how to succeed in said MLM's.

I am truly confused by this one, also does she genuinely believe that she is a motivational speaker, and that her words carry any sort of resonance?

Gotmychocolateimgood · 06/09/2019 11:50

I managed to sit through the full 20 mins! 🏆 I was also using my lumea on my legs at the same time. Here's my summary to spare you all:
She covered 3 lies that Uplines say to their minions.

  1. Slow and steady wins the race. This is not true because you have to give everything you've got to your bizniz. If you speak to 2 people a day, yeah that's 700 a year but in a couple of months you'll get bored and give up. Soooooo speak to 20 people a day. Don't be a plane taxiing around, you need to get off the ground.
  2. You can't fail unless you quit. This is a lie because if I tell you to run into a brick wall, you will fail.
  3. Make everything you do duplicatable. This is a lie because its great to put your own stamp on things. If you're a teacher, give samples out to the kids or the parents.

(BTW I'm a teacher and if I did number 3 I would be sacked).

Part 2 coming tomorrow huns!!!

Whiterangey · 06/09/2019 11:52

Mr Homeschool is not my favourite person.

He wrote those things on Homeschools face.

Think about yourself writing something like that on a loved ones skin. Could you bring yourself to do it? Neither could I.

Norma27 · 06/09/2019 12:26

I forgot about the writing on homeschool’s face. He really is a vile thing.

Spongebobette · 06/09/2019 13:09

He’s also got that’s frenetic, high energy, in-your-face schtick that he’s learned from the very annoying ‘network marketing ninja’, including the ‘drop me a 1 if you’re watching live’ crap

Jigsawpuzzle · 06/09/2019 13:32

What is Castles angle with the furniture sale? Look at what I bought with my big cheques.Buying sets of drawers for the outa sight outa mind stuff we all have (My DH keeps trying to sort various cables accumulated over the years. Old keys keep multiplying)Should have gone to IKEA it does what it says on the tin. I have even been dragged to stores in Beijing/Thailand
If she thinks her minions are going to buy they don’t have the money/space. Either that or money troubles.

9dartfinish2nd · 06/09/2019 15:32

The "Network Marketing Ninja" has been getting around when it comes to speaking gigs with a host of MLM's.

He seems to be the current high profile flavour of the month motivational speaker. the comments on some of his posts are truly depressing.

Norma27 · 06/09/2019 15:57

Is the network marketing ninja the one with initials the same as a social media network?

Jasmin82 · 06/09/2019 16:03

Well... that's devastating news. My former upline has unfriended me. Apparently, eloquently expressing an opinion on the evils of MLM (and my bio hacker bot wasn't happy about it either, because their MLM is different, they don't pressure people to join/buy, blah, blah, blah) is not something I should do. You know, because she treated me sooooo well.
Yeah, it could have been worse, I suppose. I could have ended up £9K down instead of £2.6K down.
Strangely, neither could answer the question of "what happens when there's no one left to recruit or sell to?" Bio hacker bot think that, because of the population of the planet, that is a long way off. I guess maths isn't their strong point.

9dartfinish2nd · 06/09/2019 16:34

Yes it is, @Norma27
