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.

@Bluewavescrashing how awful! You’d have thought a company like Sky would have considered safety to be an issue. I had no idea that part of Sky was pyramid shaped. It’s so manipulative. It’s so important for people to tell their stories about MLMs so that others are less likely to get sucked in.

BSintolerant · 06/03/2020 07:58

Sorry, that was meant for @user1469104844. Sausage fingers ...

Mycatismadeofstringcheese · 06/03/2020 11:50

Thanks @Bluewavescrashing, I’ve worked out how to see FB stories now. I thought you had to be someone’s friend to see them.

Although I might unfollow as not sure I want MLM aloe crap cluttering up my feed. I appreciate all of you who take the hit for the tea!

Mycatismadeofstringcheese · 06/03/2020 11:50

Tea = team

user1469104844 · 06/03/2020 12:57

Yes sky although they basically went through the cobra group and the cobra group fished out the different customers to their different 'independent business owners' Grinthe people who knock saying they are from hello fresh are also doing the same thing as are a lot of people trying to sign you up to direct debits for charities, so it's not just Sky.

Also this is going back a few years now so not sure which companies use these 'direct selling' companies anymore, but I can tell you they are still out there.

Whiterangey · 06/03/2020 13:28

I never sign up for charities on the doorstep. The recipients of my charity money meow and lick their own arses.

Whiterangey · 06/03/2020 13:30

Sorry, too vague, I donate to cat charities, not politician charities, need to make that clear.

Spongebobette · 06/03/2020 14:28

REALLY ODD that Forever Living bots are so silent about the Global Rally being cancelled
Even the Country Manager hasn’t said anything (too busy posting pics of a ‘busy’ presentation evening in High Wycombe with not all that many people.....?

Twentytwentyhindsight · 06/03/2020 14:35

Have they actually been told?
How did you find out @dickiedavisthunderthighs ?

LolaSmiles · 06/03/2020 14:43

There's a bot on my newsfeed who is claiming they've gone from earning nothing to more than they were in teaching (and as an experienced teacher they'd have been earning over £30,000).

What's weird is that they're with a different MLM cult to someone else I know and both of them do the same thing in their lives. There's lots of "hey girl... Mooorrrnniinng Charlie, hey Darling, ... Look how shit I look, it's so hard being a mum, joke about their children, show product to screen, pout face". It's almost robotic and the script is the same but the MLM changes.

dickiedavisthunderthighs · 06/03/2020 14:48

@Twentytwentyhindsight FL announced on their FB page.

Gotmychocolateimgood · 06/03/2020 14:58

Just been down another FL rabbit hole. Bruv shared a video recently on his team success page about a family of 4 with surname linked to a Toby roast dinner. Quite nauseating how much they all love working together building their business etc. Video is 4 years old. At the time it was made the grown up children boomeranged to live with their parents after uni and a dance career. Their cheques in 2016 were 16,000 for the parents and less for the son and daughter. I'm not sure if they are still botting, I don't think the daughter is but it's so misleading for Bruv to be posting videos made in 2016 at Forever's peak, on a page where new recruits are looking for inspiration. Obviously Castle, Rarebot, Castle's BFF etc all feature on their own videos which were all made around the same time. The aloe cartons are the old style ones. Just in the last few days he's linked all of these videos to the group. So the new bots are looking at it thinking it's achievable. Raarrrgh.

Twentytwentyhindsight · 06/03/2020 15:00

So surely the bots follow that page and must know. How weird that they're saying nothing.

Perhaps trying to work out the most positive spin they can on it (or too busy trying to get through to head office to find out what they can get back...).

Twentytwentyhindsight · 06/03/2020 15:07

I also noted that Rarebot is letting it be known that she feels privileged to have been invited to share her success story in a podcast, linking it with International Womens' day and International Womens' History Month.

Actually, all she is doing is featuring in Castle's latest promo...

dickiedavisthunderthighs · 06/03/2020 15:09

It's very very odd.
If you search for the global rally it'll bring up the video and F&Q. Incidentally there's loads of whispering at the start from the guys who've set up the webcam and they're sniggering about one of the chairs being crap Grin

9dartfinish2nd · 06/03/2020 16:24

The top of the pile bots will be fuming at the impending cancellation of mass gatherings in the weeks and months ahead.
I have witnessed with my own eyes these MLM events bringing bots who were on the verge of quitting back into the fold after a weekend of brainwashing that got the person buzzing about the industry again, which is exactly what they are designed to do and usually done at the bots own travelling and accomodation expenses too.
Hope a lot of bots see the light during this downtime from MLM conferences.
Just so unfortunate it's such a shitty thing that's happening to people around the world that is doing it though.

Jigsawpuzzle · 06/03/2020 16:36

Law of reaction huns. Yawns BFF has acknowledged the cancellation.

Spongebobette · 06/03/2020 18:13

It’s extraordinary that she qualified at all, considering that her company has made v little and she’s basically insolvent.

Bluewavescrashing · 06/03/2020 20:20

Does anyone know anything about Kannaway?

Friend of mine was sucked in by Forever a few years ago. She lost a couple of thousand pounds but more importantly her mental health was massively impacted. She hasn't had the confidence to apply for a real job since.

Her up line was reasonably successful in FL but is now involved in Kannaway. Any info appreciated.

Whiterangey I knew exactly what you meant Grin as I too donate to that charity Wink.

Whiterangey · 06/03/2020 23:08

The Lularoe cruise is still going ahead in a couple of weeks.

Out of any holiday, cruising is currently the worst. We have all seen what happens if there is a Covid 19 case or suspected on board.

It's the most stupid thing for them not to cancel for safety reasons

Indeed. I think there must be a strange dynamic chez Castle. She is home all day doing her biz. Son is at school. Mr Castle runs a logistics biz apparently. Gran and Grandad Castle live there too. So 4 adults hanging about all day plus Bruv and Sis when they drop in.

Wonder if mini Castle is still at private school. Those fees are sky high. She hasn't shown his uniform for ages. Poor boy has already been moved from Lanzarote back to Wales, hope he doesn't change schools again.

Grin Is Forever Fibbing going to cancel its weekly brainwashing, I mean business meetings in various hotels as a result of the virus? Of course, we’re not meant to know there’s a meeting every week because bots are told not to tell potential victims that in case it buys them time to do a bit of research into the lies Forever tells.

It amuses me that the Global Rally has been cancelled. A so-called health and wellness company stymied by a virus - isn’t it ironic? Grin
