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

So bestie has made it to Oz.

First benefit mentioned by Castle is that she "doesn't miss a moment"

So taking all the kids to Oz then is she? Shall we ignore the night away to get to Success Day??

What a load of cobblers. 😂😂😂

nakedavengeragain · 22/12/2019 00:16

@Spongebobette yep. The story asks to pm her for an invite.

Whiterangey · 22/12/2019 01:08

I still class Nurse as a victim, because she is.

She is spending money she doesn't have on shite she doesn't need to try and make her bizniz work to provide the six figure life that Yawn has lovebombed her into believing is achievable.

She has, and still is, being manipulated by Yawn.

I find it very frustrating that once victims are out of the MLM fog, there is nothing they can do about what happened to them. Who can you complain to? The DSA is a joke, the MLM's themselves encourage manipulative tactics to get, and keep new recruits buying their shite products. Joining the anti-MLM movement and using your story to help others is good, but doesn't offer the victim any redress. I'm talking financial and emotional redress.

In almost anything else, if you are harmed there are procedures in place where you can hopefully get your voice heard and change things.

Whether it's unfair dismissal, they took out the wrong kidney, or your neighbour plays drum and bass at 3am every morning.

They take your money, manipulate you, and leave you broken with nothing you can do about it. It really is disgraceful and absurd.

A friend of mine had dodgy hair extensions and was able to get her money back via small claims court. You can get something done about hair gone wrong but not the financial and emotional devastation that an MLM causes.

How absolutely fucking insane is that?

Nurse will never get the time she has spent on FLP back, she will never get the thousands she has spent on it back. She will be left feeling like an utter failure with no friends left because she was manipulated into thinking they weren't real friends because they weren't supporting her.

nakedavengeragain · 22/12/2019 01:56

How many CC's a month and how many down lines do you need to make manager?

Either way it doesn't sound like Nurse is going to recruit enough and make sufficient sales to make manager when her group is private and consists of her mum and 11 other bots. Surely she realises this?!

Spongebobette · 22/12/2019 07:34

I wonder how many of her private group members are people just being nosey

CodenameVillanelle · 22/12/2019 07:43

Nurse is a pure idiot. How stupid do you have to be to genuinely believe that you can make a living selling stuff (that you already struggle to sell) to a few people who request to join a private Facebook group?
Even if you leave the MLM aspect out of it, selling a product requires exposure, reach, advertising. The most gormless numpty knows this. I struggle to believe she's that stupid to think she can sell via a private group but she sure as shit can't recruit either.
Maybe this will be the first step towards giving up? It's not as if yawn actually interacts with her or helps her out on social media, and if she lets her group just fade away she might be able to quit with minimal loss of face...?

Dhalandchips · 22/12/2019 08:11

@vilanelle, who's nurse?

Spongebobette · 22/12/2019 08:58

It’s all about play and pretend; it makes her FEEL like she’s a business woman, associated with a successful company and a successful mentor....she can tell herself that she is in control of her life and goals and that she’s going to be a great success

nakedavengeragain · 22/12/2019 08:59

@dhalandchips please look at other threads and work it out.

Maydayredalert · 22/12/2019 09:07

I really don't understand why nurse keeps going. She never seems that committed, when she excitedly promises 14 days of lives and then does 3. Yawn seems to have all but given up on her too. When she posts videos of the training nurse never seems to be there.

nakedavengeragain · 22/12/2019 09:10

And remember all the success days she was going to go to (none). Manager by Nov 2019! Apparently her 2020 holiday is sorted as Fl are flying her and kid to Sydney.

Maydayredalert · 22/12/2019 09:16

Yes! Either make a go of it, or don't. Don't make a half assed effort, pretend you like the gunk then get annoyed when people aren't falling over to buy the crap you are peddling.

I bet she moans that she doesn't know why other boys are successful and she isn't.

I know enough of you have politely messaged her, she's too far down the rabbit hole to see the light unfortunately.

Maydayredalert · 22/12/2019 09:17

Other BOTS, not boys.

nakedavengeragain · 22/12/2019 09:21

But let's be clear here. It isn't her lack of ambition or effort (in a busy life with a damn hard job and a single mum) but the fact the cards have always been against her. They always are in MLM.

She could do the lives every day (Hiya, just thought I'd pop on..) she could attend every success day but it ain't gonna work. It. Never. Does.

Maydayredalert · 22/12/2019 09:53

Oh absolutely. She'd never admit that though. It would always be down to her friends not supporting her (in her head, at least).

GoldenKelpie · 22/12/2019 09:58

Warning: digressing from thread alert Grin.

Norma there is a vegan cafe just opened in my town, replacing a much loved coffee house I was a regular at (also a regular at a tea house nearby, spend most of my town visits in one or the other Grin).

Anyway, I am concerned that it won't last because we are so full of coffee shops here that sell every sort of food and drink, it is very hard to survive unless there is some sort of USP (my tea house is AMAZING so keeps going, thankfully). I am a predominantly animal eater (keto) but love herbal teas and love trying coffees from around the world. I popped in to the new cafe yesterday and had a jasmine green tea and it was lovely. If I visit tea is all I will ever order though and I hope other people (vegan or not) will visit and eat some of the vegan versions of normal foods on the menu.

I don't like the commercial coffee chains, there are more and more springing up and locally owned cafes suffer Sad.

Jigsawpuzzle · 22/12/2019 10:30

Castle that last post just shouts amateur.
Yawn has nothing to offer but pets r us.
Did PHD get out of Australia? No photos except a Starbucks in a car.

SSDGM · 22/12/2019 11:45

Good grief, Wig. She looks like some sort of alien!

Norma27 · 22/12/2019 12:39

I watched some of the castle vlog at about 3am when I couldn't sleep. It soon sent me back into a slumber. Do they really believe they are interesting?

Spongebobette · 22/12/2019 14:26

This time last year Nurse was saying the same as many bots... plans in place...2019 will be my best year ever.. I’m going to make manager..., go to every Success Day..... go to the Global Rally...,

OP posts:
fromdownwest · 22/12/2019 14:33

I struggle to see nurse as a victim. She wants a quick and easy way out in life. She has had numerous exposures to the business she is following us flawed. Her response is to rubbish the ‘trolls’ delete the posts and create her own private echo chamber.

How any one can think that you can run a sales business with exposure to 13 people is beyond me. She’s happily sign us all up if it bettered her own worth. Sorry guys, she’s as predatory as the other bots, just terrible at it.

9dartfinish2nd · 22/12/2019 16:01

There was a quote that stayed with me from the BBC documentary earlier this year that bots are victims and offenders at the same time.

I would certainly apply that to the lower end bots, the long term bots however are fully aware of the lies and deceitful tactics they use to lure people into MLM's.

BSintolerant · 22/12/2019 17:47

How any one can think that you can run a sales business with exposure to 13 people is beyond me.

Thirteen people? Is she running a coven or hosting The Last Supper?

YouokHun · 22/12/2019 19:07

Both of those are applicable @BSintolerant!

Ilaughathuns · 22/12/2019 19:09

Just spotted our very own Salon Bot on reddit. r/antimlm

Her 'marble' wall looks absolutely hideous by the way... has she been taking tips from yawn?
