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.

Mr Castle set up a fulfilment/logistics business last year.

I was rooting for Broke, but he is a disaster, of his own making. He treats women, especially the mother of his children, like crap, and is an arsehole.

A long read but interesting. It's about Lularoe, which I think is a good mlm study showing the explosive rise, and dramatic fall, of an mlm as it happened in such a small amount of time.

I am still shocked lularoe still exists to be honest.

Gotmychocolateimgood · 24/02/2020 05:41

Really interesting article, thanks for linking.

There are over 263,000 items of (ugly) Lularoe clothing on ebay 🤔

Whiterangey · 24/02/2020 09:01

I feel so bad for them, so many ruined lives. Given the amounts they had to spend as well makes this worse than a usual mlm. People have lost everything, homes, marriages, I've heard of at least one suicide although whether that was directly linked to llr or not I don't know. It's all so terrible.

Meanwhile the owners have a $2 million car.

Munecat on YouTube has some really good stuff on LuLuroe and Arbonne

CatherineCookson · 24/02/2020 13:26

That’s really good, thanks for sharing

Interesting about things ending in number 7
I believe that the Forever Living business in a box is 197??

fromdownwest · 24/02/2020 14:22

It is uncanny the amount of similar ploys used. Inclusion, use family as a hook, look the part with the flashy goods?

It is such a dark and murky world of deception and lies. I still to this day, can not see how and why there is not greater supervision and mandatory income claim statements with actual legislation controlling what and how it can be said.

It is like the wild west out there, and they are self regulated! It is 'literally insane' to quote the bot speak.

Miniwinnie · 24/02/2020 14:26

I have just watched this. I really want to share it on fb but I know my friend who is a believer in flp (5years) will block me and brand me negative.

I know it shouldn’t bother me but I like her and don’t think she has many friends left.

YouokHun · 24/02/2020 16:05

That’s an excellent video. I watched it before and thought I’d shared it before on Twitter but I don’t think I can have done which was careless of me because it’s good. Thanks for sharing @CatherineCookson. It would be a good one to share to the MLM Lies Exposed page where Huns feeling their first doubts lurk.

Whiterangey · 24/02/2020 16:16

That video was brilliant. Was everyone else getting scam ads as well? He's was asking for links in the comments of you did.

9dartfinish2nd · 24/02/2020 16:35

"Contreprenuers" is my new favourite word.

Must lobby for this to go into the Oxford English Dictionary

9dartfinish2nd · 24/02/2020 16:37

Bit annoying when watching Anti-MLM Content on Youtube and being greeted by Ad from the Network Ninja......."Hey Hey Hey Everyone"

Spongebobette · 24/02/2020 17:34

I know! I had lots of scammy ads when I watched it

Jonsey32 · 24/02/2020 18:08

Brilliant video!! Absolutely bang on!

CopperMugs · 24/02/2020 18:13

Thank god we have the maximum buy in thing in place here. Otherwise llr and others could proliferate

SnoogyWoo · 24/02/2020 18:22

Yawn, don’t look at your phone for the first hour of the day so you don’t have all that crap in your head that you see on social media.

She got that right!

YouokHun · 24/02/2020 18:30

I help to run an antimlm website and it’s hard work getting rid of that kind of advertising unless you spend money that most anti MLMers don’t have. In some ways the irritating adverts illustrate what he’s talking about!

nakedavengeragain · 24/02/2020 19:20

Something makes me think Nurse is starting to see the light. Only two FL posts since her 'VIP day'. She's usually a prolific poster. I reckon that Success day was successful in making her realise its a business on the downturn, she's never going to make manager and she's just an enabler for Yawn.

Desperatetobesupervisorbot2 aka amazing artist has confirmed she's taking a massive step back from her bizniss because she's too busy but is happy to take occasional orders.

Spongebobette · 24/02/2020 19:30

I am sorry to report that Nurse is doing lots of Insta stories flogging aloe gloop

All coped and pasted from Yawn of course. Perhaps she’s doing the bare minimum

CopperMugs · 24/02/2020 19:33

I think nurse is in this til the bitter end. It's a fuck you to all of her friends.

CopperMugs · 24/02/2020 20:02

A baby group I go to, has started flogging doterra. I'm gutted. And there seems to be no way of removing the hun as she's family of the organiser
