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

@YouokHun just read that article and it’s worrying

Maydayredalert · 15/12/2019 19:25

@MontanaSkies I've seen that exact car in about the right location and wondered the same!

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 15/12/2019 21:01

I'd be surprised if Yawn's white rangey had "FLP" in the number plate because, let's face it, she would have been bragging about it!

There's no way she would have bought a FLP plate and not bleated on about it at every opportunity!

BangingOn · 15/12/2019 21:04

@Willowsauntie what’s happened to her daughter? I see they’ve travelled to Turkey but missed why. I do hope she’s ok.

MontanaSkies · 15/12/2019 21:14

@maydayredalert I wonder if you saw it near here then - I'm near-ish where Yawn is based, though closer to her BFF.

Willowsauntie · 15/12/2019 22:37

@BangingOn she needs an urgent surgery by February but has no access to the NHS due to relocation. They are fundraising. Many of her downline have the link posted, as well as Mr Ironbot.

Maydayredalert · 15/12/2019 22:38

@OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny yes, that was my thought too, it just seemed to be in the right area and I wondered.

@MontanaSkies I'm on yawns patch, nowhere near her bff

BangingOn · 16/12/2019 06:15

@Willowsauntie how have I missed that!? Poor girl, MLM has so much to answer for.

wintertime6 · 16/12/2019 06:49

A friend has just posted on her MLM page about how Christmas is all about family and friends and everyone is far too obsessed with gifts, then an hour later she's pushing her products for Christmas presents. She's a really intelligent girl, I've no idea how she got sucked into it.

Jigsawpuzzle · 16/12/2019 08:03

Yawn having a sale presumably of garaged products. Got to pay for the tat somehow.

leasedaudi · 16/12/2019 08:45

@Maydayredalert actually I think yawn does have an flp15 or something number plate. She had it on her original rangey and used it on her Audi. She now blacks out her number plates in photos but not in videos (hasn't been one in awhile to be fair).

Whiterangey · 16/12/2019 12:03

I feel embarrassed for her to be honest. I'm cringing.

fromdownwest · 16/12/2019 13:33

One thing that really strikes me is the lack of consistency of bots, it is quite the BOT trait.

  • I am back at it in force
  • I will do a podcast every week
  • No excuses for me now healthy eating all the way
  • Back into my biz full time now

They are like children with new toys, if you run your own business, it is not something you can pick up and put down at will. It is a hard and relentless slog.

In essence, Bots are just lazy people, looking for the quick and easy route. Ironically picking the complete opposite.

Whiterangey · 16/12/2019 15:39

A lot of them work really hard constantly, they just say they have had a break or not worked their bizniz when they haven't reached a certain rank or haven't got a cheque or whatever.

Yawn has been taking it easy for the past three years despite working harder than ever to make less money than she was making. Her company will likely go into insolvency in a couple of years, and then she will lose her house.

Jigsawpuzzle · 16/12/2019 18:30

Last time we had a photo of Yawns food was last Wednesday, since then dogs and tat and not forgetting BFF birthday. The cynic in me thinks many of the gift bags shown were kept and keep being recycled.

MLMsuperfan · 16/12/2019 18:46

Nurse is closing her VIP group and moving to a new invite only group due to issues she's had on her page (we all know what those issue were - two politely critical posts).

Good luck with the new closed group Nurse. Hope it being private doesn't reduce your supportive engagement (i.e. your mum can find it).

fromdownwest · 16/12/2019 18:55

She really is clueless, can you imagine any other ‘business’ only being open to friends and existing customers.

Surely, she can see the flaw in this master plan? All because one person asked for research papers citing a claim that seemed dubious and another person really politely asking her to assess how much money she is actually making.

GoldenKelpie · 16/12/2019 18:59

MLMsuperfan, there was virtually no engagement on her business page when it was open to everyone. Tumbleweed mostly. The two comments from visitors to her page who challenged her medical claims and asked for evidence (quite rightly) have thrown her and led to this private invite-only group.

I would be fascinated to find out how many 'invitees' will accept her invitation, apart from her mum of course. Judging from the complete lack of interest (comments or likes) from her fb friends, not a lot.

If anyone can find out, please do let us know. Grin

MLMsuperfan · 16/12/2019 19:03

She used to post bizniz stuff on her personal Facebook stream. I recall her talking about pushback from friends, hence the switch to a bizniz group.

Spongebobette · 16/12/2019 20:28

And she had a business page which she closed to open the current one which she is now closing to open a new one

OP posts:
Spongebobette · 16/12/2019 20:32

And she’s given her new business page a name which is nearly identical (hers has one word missing) to the business page of another downline of Yawn’s

OP posts:
OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 16/12/2019 20:59

Apparently the new page will be a smaller forum.....smaller than Nurse and her Mum? That'll be a bit lonely!

CodenameVillanelle · 16/12/2019 21:34

Grin it's actually funny it's so ridiculous
I will miss 'just thought I'd pop on to do a quick live' though

MLMsuperfan · 16/12/2019 21:38

I'll miss her lives too. "I'm not retching"

Willowsauntie · 16/12/2019 21:38

@Spongebobette don't forget Yawn's own Aloe Gloop Lounge
