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.

If the bots really are spending time sleuthing for IDs on this thread, at least that leaves them less time for botting :)

Twentytwentyhindsight · 22/02/2020 11:44

Yes @OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny.
Yawn's 'women in business networking event' was a complete bot fest, I think only the cafe owner and the photographer had any sort of non-MLM business, so they must have been hunned into submission by the ravenous mob. Looks like Yawn got her claws in first...

Hi huns, my DS has just received his bizniz in a box. His new employer sent a welcome pack of food products they manufacture. He has agreed that I can put them in food bank.

I know it upsets some people when I comment on a bot’s interior design taste but bloody hell Yawn cannot resist ruining everything she buys with just one more piece of tat/ cushion/ rug. That house would look so much nicer if someone went round if with a black binbag and reduced the nicknacks and ‘decorative touches’ by 99%

Uber's sister is trying quite hard to sell her clothes in groups on FB. Money worries?

Spongebobette · 22/02/2020 21:31

Hmm she’s also selling tooth gel, lip balm and deodorant for 13 quid

Stock to get rid of?

Spongebobette · 22/02/2020 21:32

Nurse is doing same for £15

Whiterangey · 22/02/2020 21:52

Yawns house needs the black bin bag done. Her new suitcase table is just WTF?

She is trying too hard to be quirky when she isn't, she's just boring and scammy.

My friends always tell me I've got no sense of style and tell me what would look good when I suggest stupid things.

That is because they are my friends and won't let me make stupid decisions.

What is the point of having friends if they can't tell you the truth? Did something terrible with my hair last year. Got mocked by everyone because i genuinely looked rubbish. Changed it and got told it looked fantastic. How are you meant to trust those closest to you if they don't tell the truth?

This is the problem, big bots are surrounded by yes people.

Spongebobette · 22/02/2020 22:06

OMG that table

Jigsawpuzzle · 22/02/2020 22:09

Has anyone worked out how much it would cost from other retailers the same products to make your own bizniz box?

Spongebobette · 22/02/2020 22:17

Hmm not sure why anyone would order lip balm toothpaste and deodorant from a FB post when you can choose from a huge variety at any supermarket and just pick up with your usual shopping

There was a thread on here last night where someone asked for recommendations for skincare products - willing to spend £10 on a moisturiser. It wasn’t long before someone replied along the lines of “I can send you some samples, dm me your address.”

Do you smell an MLM bot armed with a hamper of previously used products? FL call them PUPP boxes.

Jonsey32 · 22/02/2020 22:44

Oh no! I’m gonna get shot down in flames but I quite like the suitcase table! Aghhhhhhhh!!

BSintolerant · 23/02/2020 00:55

Is the suitcase table made of yellow plastic? I daren’t look ...

Bluewavescrashing · 23/02/2020 08:20

Ah yes, the PUPP box. Where you can use products that have been in someone else's bathroom for a week. 🤢

@Jonsey32 lol each to their own!

I do wonder if you could put a cup of coffee on it though, it looks very uneven

CodenameVillanelle · 23/02/2020 10:28

It's a pretty pointless table since the surface isn't flat. You could use it for magazines or books.

Whiterangey · 23/02/2020 12:43

I don't like the way Yawn always talks about how she saved her dog. She got him from a rescue. If he'd been in a shit situation beforehand it was the rescue who saved him and that should be acknowledged.

The rescue we got my cat from literally saved her life. We didn't. In fact as we were filling out her paperwork, another family came asking to look at her with a view to rehoming her. "We were willing her to pull through" is what the rescue told me after the vets had done everything and it was just hoping she would survive.

We just gave her a home, and she brings us so much happiness. In a recent message to the rescue I started by thanking them for what they did, then listed all the things she enjoys doing.

I did not save my rescue cat. Most people I know get their pets from rescues, some have even taken in abandoned animals, my previous cat we rescued from of the streets after she was abandoned. Nobody I know ever acts like they saved the animal, it's always about how much they love their animal and what funny thing the animal just did.

CopperMugs · 23/02/2020 15:24

Yawn is on DIY on a budget, posting about her wonderful new 'table'. Making a point of replying to every comment. What's the betting she'll start contacting people with a "great opportunity"

Whiterangey · 23/02/2020 15:32

That's quite a smart way to infiltrate a group.

Jigsawpuzzle · 23/02/2020 15:41

Does Yawn need assistance from DIY SOS. My DH skills entailed rewiring new extension,(was trained as an electrical engineer) fitting new bathroom including tiling, fitting kitchen units, internal doors and laminate floors. At 68 he is hanging up his tool belt.
He has however managed to book flights to Thailand 🇹🇭 for nearly 4 weeks.

Twentytwentyhindsight · 23/02/2020 18:03

Broke has taken a pause from posting crass sexist jokes and publicly slagging off the long-suffering mother of his kids to add a "Be kind" banner to his profile.

He has also returned to peddling snake oils.

He truly is a waste of oxygen.

dickiedavisthunderthighs · 23/02/2020 18:10

Mr Yawn used to make furniture for a living (possibly still does). I bet his heart sinks every time Yawn finds another bit of tat to 'upcycle'.

Bluewavescrashing · 23/02/2020 18:48

What does Mr Castle do these days? Anyone know?

Spongebobette · 23/02/2020 19:01

Urghhh I used to think that Broke was funny but he’s actually a complete waste of space
