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

USA all American cheesy grin coach has blocked me on Twitter after wanting follow up stats for his rank makers.

How many new customers were returning?
How many new team members have stayed?
How many of those who ranked up stayed ranking up?

Guess those stats don't matter

What are some of the consequences for your company if you do not pay your Directors Loan back! (DLA)

If the DLA is left overdrawn by any amount for more than 9 months from the end of the accounting period, Corporation Tax will be charged. HMRC use a rate of 32.5% on Director’s Loans.

An example:
Director’s Loan Account stands at £6,000 in debit (overdrawn) at year end, let’s say 31st July
9 months and 1 day later on the 1st May, the company will be taxed on the loan if it is still overdue
£6,000 at 32.5% means that the company will owe £1,950 in Corporation Tax
This amount is refundable once the full loan has been re-paid. However, be aware that this won’t be instantaneous; you will be likely to wait several months for the rebate.

In a nutshell, the only way to avoid company charges is to repay the loan within 9 months from the the year end date.

I still don’t understand his Director’s Loans can be ‘rolled over’ from year to year? Does this mean that the cash is taken out of the business then repaid into it every year, therefore avoiding tax?

Nurse has shared the same photos of products, featuring half empty bottles, that Yawn used about a year ago. 😂 They are on her February offers. I highly doubt anyone will be buying them except her, or perhaps her mum.

Spongebobette · 03/02/2020 17:45

I saw that on her Insta stories
Hilarious

She adds the amateurish little ‘wows’ onto Yawn’s pic thinking it adds a certain je ne sais quoi

Gotmychocolateimgood · 03/02/2020 18:58

That's the one 😁

ColdWinterChild · 03/02/2020 19:12

My pet bot and her upline (and her upline) have all published furious statuses about how they've been reported to their previous mlm (younique) and threatened with legal action for breaching the terms of their agreements by actively promoting another mlm (revital u) within a year of 'leaving'.
It's a car crash of huns in the comments.

SSDGM · 03/02/2020 19:16

FM makes me laugh- the boys crow that it’s “free” to join - my question is always “how are you supposed to sell perfume you haven’t even smelled?”

They have to buy the kit, it’s stupid to say they can sell without it.

SSDGM · 03/02/2020 19:17

Bots! Not boys!

Spongebobette · 03/02/2020 19:35

But.
I thought they were all independent business owners?
How can the company stop them from doing what they like?

ColdWinterChild · 03/02/2020 19:38

Ceo, babe

RubyViolet · 03/02/2020 19:47

Popping into the thread briefly to ask...Is Scentsy an MLM ? It’s just that l have a reasonably sensible Mum friend who appears to have undergone a complete personality change in the last 2 weeks. She is uploading FB chats daily about wax melts and appears to have new encouraging lovely mates who also sell the same products. I have had 3 party invites and am beginning to feel a little pressured. Is this the same business model that this thread describes??? Thanks !

ColdWinterChild · 03/02/2020 19:50

Yes and a very shitty one. Urgh. Whiff packs. Who thought that was appealing?

RubyViolet · 03/02/2020 19:53

Oh no ! She must have bought loads of the stuff, she has posted pictures of tables full of the stuff ! I feel really awful for her now.

Jigsawpuzzle · 03/02/2020 20:04

Why would yawn want private healthcare? I thought with the Aloe and her Vegan diet and insta Filter’s she would be health personified. Is it all sleight of hand? Or BS

ColdWinterChild · 03/02/2020 20:09

I have a neighbour that's deep into it. Every recycling day, I dread going by her house. I know that 95% of the boxes are for her to project a successful business.
But apart from some pity interactions from family on her FB, nothing.
I was on nodding and pleasantry terms with her husband and now I'm worried he'll try and hun me

fromdownwest · 03/02/2020 20:10

Castle on a big drive it appears.
Daily podcasts, that are just the same old ramblings, recorded on an awful mic with background noise and paying homage to the great ' bot coach' every breath.

Painful

ColdWinterChild · 03/02/2020 21:44

If ever I was willing to lose my soul, I would probably sign up under yawn. She projects a decent lifestyle, doesn't seem desperate (to an outsider), doesn't tag annoying family members, has pets.

SSDGM · 03/02/2020 22:41

Yawn’s “I’m putting in an order’ post went up
3 hours ago. Zero interaction. 😂

On wig's timeline (last Tuesday/weds) she's tagged in a status re Bitcoin (yellow laughing smiley background). Looking at the profile it turns out he's a vulnerable young adult who seems to take Wig and Sleazes various bizniss Opportunities as gospel despite protestations from his family.

Anyway he uploaded several videos from 2017 featuring W&S. Sleaze states they are launching 3D printing cafes all around the UK and soon to be the globe and this poor guy is one of their UK leaders.

Obviously that went precisely nowhere (what a surprise) and dread to think how much he gave them. In this recent post Wig is still trying to get him to invest and then... he confirms he has.

It's fucking awful. How these people sleep at night....

CodenameVillanelle · 04/02/2020 05:39

Perfume parlour do dupe perfumes for a lot less than those FM fakes and they actually smell authentic, and are decent quality.

acatcalledjohn · 04/02/2020 07:40

I agree re Wig. That person on her timeline last week is def a vulnerable person.

She sleeps at night because she lacks morals.
