MLM Botwatch 55

Yes, thread 55 in a long series!
Thinking of joining an MLM? Forever Living? NuSkin? Younique? Valentus? One of the cryptocurrencies, weight loss coffees or travel agencies?
Read these threads first!
The vast majority of people who join an MLM actually LOSE money.
You don't have a business when you join an MLM, you are an unpaid rep.
On these threads you will find lots of examples of how 'uplines' lie to hook you in and keep you spending your own money.
You should also inform yourself by looking at

Whenever FL bots get together it's all fake fun and filming on their phones. Remember the Airbnb Castle rented during hobgate they were dancing to Alexa, throwing water on each other and all over the bedding, spiking aloe shots with tobacco etc being 'crazy' but it looked very forced. There was always someone filming from a few different angles. And Bruv with headphones on listening to brainwashing-- training from Top Ranking Coach.

None of it is normal behaviour. Most people go to a party, maybe take a couple of pics or a video but actually enjoy themselves for the vast majority of the time. The performance partying is cringe worthy.

@BSintolerant Maybe, but she's a pretty smart cookie from what I've seen of her. She's got a financial background so I'd have thought she would be scrutinising anything she got into.

hunzuncovered · 08/12/2019 11:05

@EmmaGrundyForPM I expect she's been targeted for her income. 80k a year would probably mean she's working more than the average 9-5 and possibly under a lot of stress.
She's more than likely been sold the earnings for less time away from family/stress or the commute.

tiggertogger · 08/12/2019 11:16

I read the comment and it didn't say exactly what Yawn is purporting. It said I used to know you before you started doing the c9 starvation diets over and over and now you're twice the person you used to be. More like a size 20 than a 14. That should show you that c9 doesn't work so stop doing them. So she's used the jist ie she's fatter than she used to be but ignored the point her friend was making that c9 is the cause of her weight gain. A little disingenuous on Yawn's part but who can be surprised at this point? Surprised none of her fan girls saw the post and thought this. I looked up her ex friend's account and there is nothing remarkable on it.

tiggertogger · 08/12/2019 11:19

When I read the post I wasn't shocked and it finished with something like I still love you or with love or something which maybe indicates the person is worried about her rather than being nasty. Also, she is nowhere near a size 14 and not even in the top end of 16 so her friends are either lying to her or hiding their own weight gain from the same?

Awaits Australia 🇦🇺😂

SnoogyWoo · 08/12/2019 11:59

Do they get an extended holiday in Australia, like 3 nights?

Spongebobette · 08/12/2019 12:24

Never underestimate the ability of a bot to use everything to their advantage

@SnoogyWoo - that I s exactly what those who have qualified died for the basic package (like Yawn) will get. As much time spent travelling in cattle class as they will spend there being brainwashed while totally jet lagged.

These two trips are more like a punishment than a reward.

Not surprised that only two bots from the U.K. are there. Most who would have qualified as Eagle Managers probably bowed out because (like any sane person), they would prefer not to go.

A lot of pressure on Uber to fly the flag (especially after having the Chairman's Bonus scheme skewed to protect her cheque).

As for Yawn, there was much speculation as to how she could have qualified for the Eagle Manager retreat, with authorities much more qualified than I am (waves to @DoraExplorer99) suggesting it was probably a sop for not getting cheques.

Turns out she was asked to take a bullet for the team as no-one else wanted to go, and it would have reflected badly on the U.K.

Something along the lines of "we know you haven't really qualified, and the trip is a nightmare, but we need someone to go and you will have something to put on your social media"...

Twentytwentyhindsight · 08/12/2019 12:59

*don't know how the random "died" got in, probably the Universe manifesting something about FLP in the U.K.

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 08/12/2019 13:21

If anyone with a real J.O.B. was asked to do a similar trip (ie. 11+ flight each way with only 2 nights there, a training day to attend, a presentation to do and an evening social event) they would laugh in their employers face!

Alternatively, if there was no way round it being such a short trip, they would get paid handsomely, plus get time off in lieu or some other reward.

What does Yawn get ..... jetlag and a Ginsters vegan pasty.

Norma27 · 08/12/2019 13:23

I wonder how many 'qualifiers' will decide not to go to Australia. We know they aren't getting cheques to make it worthwhile.

MontanaSkies · 08/12/2019 13:34

@EmmaGrundyForPM I'm always confused too when women in good careers sign up for MLM. But maybe it's partly because MLM isn't so visible in their world so they aren't as familiar with the scammy nature of it. I'd hardly heard of it until I became a SAHM and suddenly it was everywhere.

I have a friend who has a good job - she's a qualified chartered accountant! - and yet is convinced that our mutual usborne rep acquaintance (Uzbot?) earns more than her. All because of what Uzbot tells her, and because she's a friend she couldn't possibly lie to her. I'm worried she'll make the leap one day, hopefully not before doing a few sums!

MontanaSkies · 08/12/2019 13:38

More cynically... Maybe some people who already have a good salary and expensive lifestyle go into it with their eyes open, thinking they can sell their lifestyle and amass a sizeable downline quickly. Not that this seems particularly likely in the current climate. Just a thought though.

Jigsawpuzzle · 08/12/2019 13:57

I would imagine people in real J.O.B.S plus commuting time are unlikely to have enough fairweather friends to make an MLM worthwhile.
I know people boast that they have amassed friends by the truckload when fb first became trendy.
I wonder if this is social engineering from FL to offload the UK interests by making the bots jump so many hoops for little reward.
I know this happens in the real world too as I noted many administration jobs were looking for graduates or apprentices so I decided to call it a day.

spanfan · 08/12/2019 14:40

The FLP party looked dreadful. Middle aged women dancing to (bad) house music.

No one had drinks, no food shown. Everyone wandering around looking bored or filming it. What a load of shite.

fromdownwest · 08/12/2019 17:46

I am sure that in a past post Castle Sister said that she was lucky enough to have private medical cover from her husbands JOB. Lucky for her. Not so much for the people who they entice out of jobs with PMI into a glorified non commission only sales consultant

Bovneydazzlers · 08/12/2019 18:02

Utterly unbelievable FLP are bragging about planting a few trees when they encourage a horrendous carbon footprint - Travel (I’m guessing) to London by train/plane, 12 hour flight, 3 hour coach to Pattaya...just for three days then to do it in reverse!
Unlbelievable waste, and utterly exhausting for all involved.

In other news...
Castle bro posting his bank statement on Facebook, I’m not sure £1k is a huge thing to brag about, also, who does this?

Arbonne still haven’t filed their accounts...now almost 2.5 months late...

Whiterangey · 08/12/2019 18:52

Let's break Bruv's screenshot down.

He got $6.28 in a payment in October. I.m guessing those balances are for the whole year up until november, which would fit with roughly 10 times that amount.

Even if that whole figure is monthly, that isn't a lot of money for the year. That is before he's bought his cc's for the month.

CodenameVillanelle · 08/12/2019 19:15

I think that's Bruv's victim downline's bank balance isn't it?

Youbethebadgirl · 08/12/2019 19:32

Don't know who the Castles are. Been following these threads for a while and I know who most of the others are. Do Castles clan do FL or another mlm? Any help welcome

Castle-first name same as baby spice , surname-tradesman who makes barrels.Find her then siblings will follow.

Jigsawpuzzle · 08/12/2019 20:10

I have also scrolled back and found garage. I imagine it’s a glorified en-suite bedroom with them eating in the big house, also known as servants quarters.
I don’t know old they are but what if one needs care at some point?
