Time for a new Fred, huns. We watch bots (people who have signed up to multi level marketing schemes which are thinly veiled pyramid schemes). We expose their lies, in the hope that fewer vulnerable people will be sucked in to buying a fake business. This is not trolling. It's calling them out on their fakery. Welcome, huns.

I don't think I've commented on weight or parenting.

However I agree that bots usually take flattering angle photos to sell a C9. They'll lie for the money with no consideration for the long term health problem they'll bring to some of those customers.

They'll use their kids as part of their attraction with little consideration to whether those kids want to be publicly out there for all to see.

I'm overweight.

I don't try to pretend otherwise to sell diet products though

That's the point. I couldn't give a flying fuck what size anyone is until they try to manipulate people.

Yawn claims to have lost stones with her c9 £130 crash diet plan, and pushed it to sell to others. If a reflection in a window demonstrates that she hasn't lost stones and is actually lying to push product then it's fine to call that out IMO.

I'm fat too - probably a similar size to yawn if not a bit bigger. I have no judgement towards her for being a bit fat. I do judge her for lying about weight loss and flogging overpriced crash diet bollocks.

CodenameVillanelle · 16/02/2020 08:14

PHD bot has name checked us in her stories which might explain where the interest has come from Hmm FYI and JJay are you fans of hers?

BSintolerant · 16/02/2020 09:00

I suppose she’s got to have some fans.

Spongebobette · 16/02/2020 09:26

I am loling at PhD bot who posts about one of her clients doing a Masters in Coaching

A PROPER qualification, which is academically recognised and which will give her the knowledge and skills to coach and mentor people

Unlike someone who just calls themselves a coach and posts anodyne generic advice on social media.

acatcalledjohn · 16/02/2020 12:46

PHD, if you actively used your PHD subject to analyse the world you'd know you are taking bollocks when you compare the media hounding of someone accused of a crime, versus a bunch of people on a forum calling out bullshit peddled by the likes of yourself.

But of course that doesn't suit your narrative.

In the same way that being called out on her reflection in the window, Yawn is being exposed for false claims re C9 weight loss. That's not bullying.

It's like when the cancer research advert a year or two ago was called out for fat shaming. The crime? Advertising that obesity is the leading cause of cancer.

It's people trying to alter reality to suit their own narrative, either to scam others or to feed their own desire to be something they can't conceivably be.

spanfan · 16/02/2020 12:48

Hi pHD.

I'm calling you out for lying and taking advantage of others for money.

That is not bullying.

You peddle your crap and vulnerable people listen to you. It's criminal.

Not bullying. Truth hurts.

willdoitinaminute · 16/02/2020 14:24

Yawn is local to me and I frequently see her in rl. She targets vulnerable women some of whom I know personally. I have privately spoken to friends who have been approached and presented a non confrontational argument to explain how this business does not work and the products are no more than snake oil.
It infuriates me when she presents the weight loss products when they clearly don’t work for her. A series of carefully filtered pictures are all some people need to be convinced.
Her slip up with the reflection allows her regular audience to see the lies and deceit she employs to scam them out of money. We merely point them in the right direction.

I wish they would all shut up about Caroline Flack, PHD is disgraceful. Guilty or innocent, she had a lot on her plate and was quite rightly terrified. Talking or asking or noticing doesn't always help. The bots saying they are always there is someone is suicidal would only try and shill the bizniz if someone contacted them.

Yawn consistently uses clever angles and old photos to shill weight loss shite that is harmful to the body and emotions of those who try it. Losing a stone in the 9 days you are on the C9 will make you feel awesome, putting it all back on in a week will make you feel worse than ever and a failure.

Why no real photos? Would be a better way of engaging with her audience for a start.

Is that the bot equivalent of fiddling whilst Rome burns?

hunzuncovered · 16/02/2020 22:10

It's lovely to see PHD and sacked making someone's tragic suicide all about them.

Well done ladies.

SSDGM · 16/02/2020 23:45

If sacked is claiming she’s been bullied online I’ll lose my shit. Someone telling you the truthWhen you’re acting a twat is not bullying.

And I couldn’t give a shit if people think we are bullying Yawn. I lost a very good friend to her brainwashing so she can suck it.

thetemptationofchocolate · 17/02/2020 12:40

The entire structure of an MLM is built on bullying of a sort. So the bots would indeed know all about bullying.

SnoogyWoo · 17/02/2020 12:46

Feel like I need a detox...shall I spend a fortune on crap or just let my liver do it. What a conundrum.

It's shocking that some people are now trying to claim that they are also victims of online bullying yet they rely on and use quite heavily online platforms to sell or promote their businesses.
It's also easy to jump on a band wagon to gain a few "extra" pairs of eyes because you want sympathy and validation that what you do day to day is no more than a "business" that helps others succeed in life.

To "be kind" means you do this everyday whether it's on or offline - to somebody who was in your team and left because it wasn't for them, to the person struggling with debts and still not making any money.
You have to hold yourself accountable and responsible - that's a true definition of "be kind".

We have seen the issues this industry effects on people's mental health, their relationships, marriages and family/friendships that are lost forever (pardon the pun) because of a need to shift a little product.
How people are shut out or called unsupportive or negative just because they don't believe or hold their own personal views about something.

Next time you want to jump onto a thread to call out keyboard warriors - because they happen to highlight a disgusting and nasty practice that is common within all MLM organisations - remember how "kind" you actually are - and whether you hold yourself accountable and true!

Spongebobette · 17/02/2020 14:30

Ooh @Jigsawpuzzle good thread, no hold barred there!!

Bluewavescrashing · 17/02/2020 14:54

Dear Lord. Have a look at the MLM lies exposed post about a 'friend' messaging someone about going out to dinner and using sex toys after, trying to sell them to her. Dated 10th Feb. Sick and wrong!

A friend of mine is currently in thrall to sacked. Her uplines upline. She is really selling her story as fighting the haterz.

It's a shame. I remember her from her cake days.

Miniwinnie · 17/02/2020 20:05

Could someone please give me an idea of who sacked and castle are please? I think I have an idea but not 100%. Thanks.
