The bot who is trotted put by FLP to convince others that it’s possible to create your dream life by being a FBO has been spending time with Uber

But her company has been liquidated; she defaulted on her agreement to pay £500 a month and £10k from ‘expected incoming funds’ (Chairman’s bonus, presumably). So they’ll be after her for her debt

And she’s STILL shilling for FLP!!!

So, @9dartfinish2nd does that mean the bot I mention has got away with it?

9dartfinish2nd · 12/10/2019 21:37

HMRC wont take it lightly but don't think can seize any personal assets at this stage. Sole Traders can have anything seized apparently.

All the castle clan have to keep blindly going forward - what else is there to do - oh go back to a normal job.

They can claim money back from her. She owes her company about £55k in a directors loan, so they can get that back as she owes the company money.

Someone explained it a while ago. If you are a ltd company then they can't do anything to you unless you owe a directors loan, then they can come after you for that, the company owes them £155k, and Tax Bill Bot owes the company

RevitalU are still actively selling their Octodrine laced hot chocolate in the UK.

Is it even worth approaching trading standards?

Spongebobette · 13/10/2019 09:45

Looking at the accounts on Companies House, it seems that the bot I mentioned (ex John Lewis) has other costs; the liquidator charges 15k as a flat fee plus other charges - how do they get their money?

YouokHun · 13/10/2019 10:59

@SSDGM I had heard that RivitalU had “reformulated” but I can’t remember where I heard this. I’m not sure it was a bot because I would have dismissed it. It’s a frenzy of recruitment at the moment with some product samples being given out and already some unhappy people who thought they were going to be selling shit through the eye of a needle coffee but can’t get hold of product and are being pushed to recruit everyone they know.

If the Octodrine is present then it is worth approaching Trading Standards and reminding them about the stance they took with Valentus (even though that appears to be on the rise again). I might have a dig around and see if I can find any proof of reformulation (don’t hold your breath).

I’m following a very irritating RevitalU Manhun at the moment - fancies himself as a bit of a motivational guru, a sort of [even more] downmarket Messiah.

SSDGM · 13/10/2019 12:20

The coffee has been reformulated but the hot chocolate definitely hasn’t. I’ve been added to a group that I’m observing. Also those who have bought the new coffee said it doesn’t work and just makes them jittery. Those people are being told to buy the “smart caps” (caffeine pills) instead.

So Uber is giving away 180 deodorant gift bags at a fashion show in aid of a hospital and hospice.

The photos suggest that you have to give your details or sign up to something Hmm Hmm

Say no more.

worcestersauce29 · 13/10/2019 16:56

I will be advising both Worcs Acute NHS Trust and Primrose Hospice of the reality of the 'gifts' I'm fuming

Just seen a post about someone being promoted to Manager - I think it was Brother’s downline.

Do you remember when every couple of days there was a new supervisor, manager, pocket-rocket for all the players?

The post stood out because it’s so rare these days.

As long as anyone is buying the overpriced shite someone in Arizona is making money but none of the top bots are building.

BSintolerant · 13/10/2019 21:30

We don’t hear of many people sacking the boss these days either. Although now I’ve said that, I’ve probably invoked the Law of Reaction. Keep your eyes open for #sacktheboss

I’d rather sack the bot. Grin

That’s a new one. Who’s rumoured to be going back to work?

I’ve spotted a former bot who describes her job on FB as “Wife of [name of husband and the company he owns]. No, they’re not Mormons.

Mercifully neither of them appears to be involved with MLMs. The bot in question boasted of sacking the boss a couple of years ago until she got another job which didn’t involve being someone’s wife.

Spongebobette · 14/10/2019 01:31

Nurse has taken part in ‘amazing’ Sunday night ‘team training’

Translation: Yawn puts a full face of makeup on and gets all her downline to listen to some clichés about working hard and attracting success, exhorts the team to plan some activities this week (FB lives, prospecting), sets the a challenge ... and gets a few of them to tell the others about how amazingly they are doing.

Downline kept botted up for another week.
Job done.

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 14/10/2019 08:44

Uber's DD is selling some of her clothes to get some money together for Xmas shopping (money must be tight after the wedding!)

A bot in the comments suggested selling on fb marketplace so when people turn up to collect you can "give them free samples"

Jeez, they see prospecting opportunities everywhere don't they.
No wonder they seem to lose all their friends and just surround themselves with other bots

fromdownwest · 14/10/2019 09:37

Looks like our educated bot has access to Travel Agent discounts, exciting news coming....

Looks like she is going for MLM bingo and her mega super uber mind sabotage rest programme is not paying the bills.

Allmyarseandpeggymartin · 14/10/2019 13:17

Is educated bot PHD bot?

fromdownwest · 14/10/2019 15:10
