Bot-watching into 2020. Hoping it's a good year for all (and the end of MLMs - Hey, a girl can dream!)

Yawns team is her walking out of the room and coming back in with a wig and moustache.

MLMsuperfan · 06/01/2020 15:01

Sorry nurse not yawn. Spoiled the joke.

CodenameVillanelle · 06/01/2020 15:01

I mean no disrespect to yawn, well done for getting back in the gym but I am a bit smaller than her and I burn 400 calories in 45 minutes of gentle jogging. I'm not surprised she's flagging though since she's on starvation rations.

Nurse has another c9 off to a 'lovely friend'.

It's odd that she never tags any of her real life, definitely not made up lovely friends in her posts.

Has Broke gone to Indonesia today? Did I miss out on waving him off?

Norma27 · 06/01/2020 15:51

Don't know if broke has gone to Indonesia. However, looks like the pic showing another person's arse in the gym has now gone!

Uber's Instagram story shows a whole room filled with children as she films her daughter dancing.

Do they not have anything sacred, or is it all a big show for the world to see. I would be livid if my child was filmed and broadcast to her followers.

Nurse had done an insta story all about her productive day in her business and how she’d love to give up nursing and just work her Forever business

Hmm. Why haven’t you already done this, as you said you would??

Claims to have spoken to ppl about the business today and put orders in are unconvincing to say the least

She’s also ‘updated her customer records’
Hope she’s fully aware of GDPR

Maydayredalert · 06/01/2020 18:40

Jeez she can't even manage to do the 7 days of lives she promises every now and again. God the idea that these are 'businesswomen' is utterly laughable.

My local posh soft play, has both forever living and usborne connections. They flog FL lip balm at the till with cards for more info. And they hold weekly usborne sales during a play session under the guise of loving books.
When we went to see Father Christmas there, every book was usborne. All I could think was, great, I've added to someone's sales.
I'm so torn. It's a lovely place and definitely aimed at the middle class yummy mummy lot (for context, I live in a VERY deprived area), but anywhere that pushes mlm makes me a bit sick.
I raised it in brief one day and got the typical, small business thing.

MoreSweetcorn · 06/01/2020 19:05

Every present was a book. And every book was usborne.

Which seeing as this was run a few times, gives me a vague figure of 100 books given out

Jigsawpuzzle · 06/01/2020 19:15

New Year but the bots haven’t shaken off the same old, same old/ rinse and repeat/groundhog day mantras.
For all the planning/ training/ gurus etc they have nothing to offer.
BORING 😴 BORING 😴

Spongebobette · 06/01/2020 19:23

Tonight’s ‘training’ by Yawn is about...

Recruiting online

Rinse and repeat

MoreSweetcorn · 06/01/2020 21:38

I've followed the threads and contributed under several names. But I tried introducing a friend to these threads. She's refused to join because of the obsession with certain bots rather than the underlying schemes.

I understand tbh. Fm is running rampant currently, especially in my area. Sacked by ariix is pushing it. And we have very little on it.

Apart from posh play, there is no FL presence.

It's the cheaper mlms. The "rep" schemes that are cutting a swathe here.

Spongebobette · 06/01/2020 21:42

Happy to hear all about FM and what is going on in your area!

MoreSweetcorn · 06/01/2020 21:54

It is cutting a swathe through the normal buy and sell sites. I suppose it has the ability to float through different demographics due to the perfume and weight loss.

I just think my friend was reticent to sign up as the emphasis on these threads is FL.

She's been approached by a few mlms as she's an independent contractor in the beauty industry. And currently, fl, doesn't compete. According to her, it's Monat and oils

acatcalledjohn · 06/01/2020 22:27

Sacked by Ariix has recruited her daughter?

Wow.

MoreSweetcorn · 06/01/2020 22:34

I think she's one of the few with children of the legal age.

Shhhhh223 · 07/01/2020 07:47

The Arbonne hun I know has just gone to Maui for 5 days! I wouldn’t care if it was all expenses paid no way would I want all that travel for 5 Days!!

This particular hun I must say seems to be doing well, she is now top of the tree and has brought a house after always renting. She claims to be on £7000-£12,000 a month. With bots doing so well it doesn’t surprise me that she doesn’t struggle to rope people in and of course this is going to push her up Evan more! I cannot find any details for on company’s house, wouldn’t she be a ltd company’s if she is earning this much money?

Spongebobette · 07/01/2020 08:16

This thread isn’t just about Forever Living; I tend to bang on about that particular MLM because it’s the one that sucked my friend in - which is how I became aware of what MLMs are and how I found these threads.
The top bots in Forever Living that we talk about here are a good case study; the lies and manipulation and false claims are prototypical

nakedavengeragain · 07/01/2020 08:55

Still no mention of the launch of Wig's forever home. Shrek seems to have checked out and is just posting motivational bullshit. I actually miss the selfies taken in urinals

She did however ask for suggestions for a health and wellness biz to run alongside the bitcoin scams. She's been inundated with a absolute plethora of shite options.

Spongebobette · 07/01/2020 10:02

Aaaaaaand I've see my first 'donating aloe to help
with the bush fires in Australia and putting it on social media' post

BSintolerant · 07/01/2020 10:20

@Shhhhh223 if she were making as much as she claims it would make sense for her to set up a limited company for tax reasons. Is there any way you can find out if she’s registered for VAT? If she’s turning over around 80k (I can’t remember the exact figure) she’d have to cough up for that.

Have you checked the Individual Insolvency Register? Bankrupts aren’t allowed to be company directors.

The other reason she might be a sole trader rather than registering a limited company is because she’s a billy bullshitter and she’s not making as much as she’d like everyone to believe.

Spongebobette · 07/01/2020 10:35

sometimes the bot has money from another source (partner, inheritance) which they pretend is from the MLM
