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.

Wedding boy always seemed very nice and not as pushy with the FL as some bots.im glad she managed to escape yawns clutches. If only nurse could see the light!

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 06/02/2020 16:39

Let's not forget 2 other victims of Yawn's love bombing ....Roomie and Mrs Stickman.

Same pattern where she bestows some great "honour" upon them to keep them sweet then, thankfully, they seem to wake up to the fact that Yawn's just doing it for her own selfish interests.

Roomie still seems to occasional dabble with the odd promo of a FL product in amongst wearing her may hats of self-professed author/motivational coach/counsellor/public speaker/campaigner/reslience(sic) coach etc (but maybe the products are old stock from her garage).

Mrs Stickman has started up a baby clothes/art type venture which I admire her for as it's coming from her heart.

Jonsey32 · 06/02/2020 18:32

Roomie was just hysterical when she went as Yawns guest to Dallas. God that was just epic!

I’ve always liked Mrs Stickman. She oozes loveliness so I was pleased she stepped away from it all!

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 06/02/2020 19:05

I was scared Yawn was going to rope Mrs Stickman back into it when she was pregnant with their second baby so soon after the first.

nakedavengeragain · 06/02/2020 19:24

@gotmychocolate yup, that was yawns status a couple of days ago. Funny isnt it that nurse had EXACTLY THE SAME experience. What a coincidence

Twentytwentyhindsight · 06/02/2020 20:08

Not even sure that is originally Yawn's; not enough random commas.

fromdownwest · 06/02/2020 20:31

Seems like a big push for more Fl activity on the bots now, maybe they have realised that they can not coast any more and the tax bills are looming!

RE Nurse - She has had plenty of times to leave, shes been show by many people what a scam it is. If she loses it all, its her own fault, through nothing other than greed

Jigsawpuzzle · 06/02/2020 21:40

when on fb groups I always check the posters that come from any of the bots neck of the woods to see if they have succumbed. I would bet the bots themselves look for prey on local groups.

This is a very good guide to the ins and out of a directors loan - it’s simpler than the one I posted on the previous thread:

www.boox.co.uk/directors-loan-accounts-explained/

This bit is interesting;

A word of warning – you should avoid repaying a loan and then taking it out again soon after. This is an avoidance tactic which HMRC call “bed & breakfasting”. If they pick up on such activity, they will treat the loan as never having been repaid and tax the company accordingly.

Maydayredalert · 07/02/2020 08:19

I am surprised (and a little disappointed) that HMRC haven't picked up on 'bed and breakfasting' as that link calls it.

Orchardgreen · 07/02/2020 08:38

Yawn’s cowhide rug isn’t very vegan, is it?

Jigsawpuzzle · 07/02/2020 09:16

The accountants should be up to speed with HMRC rules.If not why not?
Re Nurse and other bots whose customers are family/friends. They themselves are brainwashed as they are not helping but enabling.
If Nurses mum has money for tat give it to her direct so she can treat her son. Maybe I misread the memo when I became a grandmother 👵

SSDGM · 07/02/2020 10:52

Is yawn even still vegan or has that fad disappeared again?
Is she still running?

fromdownwest · 07/02/2020 11:08

Is anyone listening to the Castle Podcasts?

It really is quite scheming, 'you need to attend company events' 'I cant believe I earned so much money'

Clearly she is walking around the house, just recording it. Amateur hour, but very clever, clearly driven by her super mentor.

Classic manipulation techniques.

The poor old me start, everyone is like you etc

Ugh.

I've been lurking on these threads for ages, but have only been compelled to rant today.

I'm currently job-hunting due to unexpected redundancy at the end of last year (always fun). So I have my CV out with quite a few agencies and am registered with sites such as Total Jobs and Reed etc.

Today I have had about the fifth email from someone Emma, via Total Jobs, with the subject line 'New Beginnings wants you' and some guff about being able to work from home, earning up to £35k.

Clicking on the link to find out more about the 'opportunity' and it's Forever Living. It makes me so cross as I think it's so deceptive - there is no job there at all - just a great chance to spend my money on revolting, over-priced goop.

Other people that aren't so aware of the MLM scam could really waste their time on this, and of course, women who want flexible working to fit around their family are particularly vulnerable to this crap.

Sigh. Rant over.

In case any of you are tempted...

YUK

Spongebobette · 07/02/2020 14:58

I see that Forever Living have a new ‘brand ambassador’ (shill) from Ghana
Reflecting the company’s push to infiltrate countries in Africa

PHD has employed a social media assistant

OP posts:
fromdownwest · 07/02/2020 18:50

Is she still on Insta? Have not seen her inane ramblings for a while.

On FB she was boasting of business overflow, or as others call it, net profit.

It really is amateur / bizarre hour with her. I’d say she is one of the most narcissistic one of the lot

Bluewavescrashing · 07/02/2020 19:39

I only follow her on fb, I don't do Insta.

The fact that she considers herself so busy that she needs an assistant is beyond me!

The independent woman stuff really grates on me too. She is blatantly bankrolled by Daddy and/ or her fiancé.

CodenameVillanelle · 08/02/2020 07:01

PhD is still on insta
She and her boyfriend are getting a cleaner and all their meals delivered so she can stay in her genius zone
How on earth does she make money? Surely it can't be from conning gullible women out of thousands to hear her opine on manifesting wealth?

Bluewavescrashing · 08/02/2020 07:22

Daddy pays for everything I think.
