‘Not profiting from this’

Ha

Feebot2001 · 25/03/2020 08:07

Hello, Long time lurker of the threads here.

My FL bot is doing NHS packs (at cost Hmm )

"I’m putting together a Cleanse and soothe pack and donating the packs to all of these wonderful human beings.♥️

Wholesale Cost per pack £35( no profit made)
The pack contains - Aloe hand soap, propolis creme, lip balm and heat lotion ( soothes aching joints and sore feet)

If you’d like to donate money for a full pack or towards a pack let me know"

I'll pass. Hoping my NHS worker husband doesn't get one.

fromdownwest · 25/03/2020 08:51

Some one needs to call these c*nts out.

The money that people are ‘donating my could go to much better use, imagine being an NHS worker and coming in to a box of loo roll, eggs, normal hand soap, some bath salts, magazine, bread and some chocolates.

The box you could knock up for £16 would be great.

They are scum, they are indirectly profiteering from people’s hard work and life saving actions.

If you are reading this Castle et al, I hope you can sleep at night in you lovely home whilst real people do real jobs.

AntiBotics · 25/03/2020 08:58

£35 wholesale and that’s all you get! There’s definitely profit in that chunk for your upline!

Twentytwentyhindsight · 25/03/2020 10:31

There's profit all round. FLP have not reduced the 'wholesale' price, so benefit from the increased sales, the upline gets their cut as per usual, and the actual bot's CCs get clocked up for their bonus.

Utter scum, the lot of them. They are all the more despicable for claiming some sort of mantle of generosity and lying about profits.

If they really cared, they would join the hundreds of thousands volunteering to support the vulnerable with real help and genuinely no profit. Unfortunately, they would probably see it as a 'recruitment opportunity'.

BSintolerant · 25/03/2020 10:32

I hope that people are alive to what’s really going on here and refuse to “sponsor” these Forever Living NHS packs.

AntiBotics · 25/03/2020 10:49

I feel like the rush on soaps, hand gel and moisturiser will give FL a bit of a boost at a time of decline, perhaps a death rattle? It might just help these delusional huns eek out another year in bizness. A plateau rather than another drop this year?

hunzuncovered · 25/03/2020 10:51

I've been targeted because I've got "proud to work for the NHS" as a frame on my Facebook.

Saving up my offers to reply too when we aren't so busy

MoonahStone · 25/03/2020 11:08

I'm wondering how the package of financial support for the self-employed which should be agreed by the govt this week will work for these MLM bizness owners? If it is going to be based on their accounts and a 3 yr average of earnings I would guess that most MLM huns aren't going to get very much at all. Just another way it shows they don't really run a proper business.

Bluewavescrashing · 25/03/2020 12:49

I tried the aloe hand soap years ago when a friend bot lent me a PUPP box. It was really harsh. After a couple of uses my hands were really sore and I stopped using it.

That was what led me to these threads (have name changed since). Needless to say, the bot who lent me the soap dropped out of FL ages ago as she spent more than she earned. She's struggled with her mental health since.

Absolute vultures who are 'giving away' these packs- go and volunteer for the NHS as a pp suggested. But you won't will you? Lazy, work shy, selfish narcissists.

CodenameVillanelle · 25/03/2020 13:22

I don't think the self employed measures will help MLMs - sacked bot says she won't get help as she runs her business from home and doesn't employ staff (though that applies to lots of self employed people so I actually hope that's not true)

dickiedavisthunderthighs · 25/03/2020 14:14

Sackedbybot is finding out the hard way what happens when you rely solely on MLM for your income, based on the last few days' posts. By the looks of things she's got no savings, pays £3K a month rental, she's closed her own MLM and is relying on FM World to pay the bills, by practically begging people to buy some perfume.

Whiterangey · 25/03/2020 15:27

She has no accounts at companies house except from ones from 2015 from her cake business.

I know you can run a small business without a Ltd company but she said about employees. Do they just go on tax returns?

Whiterangey · 25/03/2020 15:28

My bad she said no staff so it's only her as a sole trader.

fromdownwest · 25/03/2020 15:34

You can employ staff as a sole trader. It is just a term, I am a sole trader with people on my payroll

hunzuncovered · 25/03/2020 15:45

But if she was earning the mega bucks she was claiming in her golden days don't you have to register at companies house when your income exceeds a certain amount?

fromdownwest · 25/03/2020 15:53

@hunzuncovered - No obligation to.

It is a personal choice to move to LTD, and then have the obligations to submit public accounts.

Bots do it as it distances their personal assets, makes them look more professional, and allows these directors loans.

I choose not to go LTD, however, my accountant keeps telling me to do so, for personal reasons. Sole trader works best for me

hunzuncovered · 25/03/2020 15:55

It's ok... I'm thinking of VAT registering

fromdownwest · 25/03/2020 16:42

Correct, above £85k and in a non excluded sector

Bluewavescrashing · 25/03/2020 18:59

What is BBL on about please?

Any my cousins family or friends me and babies can come drop and pull away for away .. I’ll bring trailer I don’t care I’m we’re in the country it is , I’ll leave this evening

Gotmychocolateimgood · 25/03/2020 19:53

PhD is wearing extremely manky flip flops in her latest vid. Not exactly luxury high vibe! Get yourself aligned with some new shoes, love.

SSDGM · 25/03/2020 20:13

BBL is from the Traveller community, she’s asking for someone to come and drive her trailer (huge caravan) somewhere far away.

MontanaSkies · 25/03/2020 20:34

"High vibe" Hmm what does that even mean?

An old friend from school has just signed up with Krizma - anyone know this one? It's new on me but looks like allll the others. This woman has previously been involved with FM World and that siren mermaids one... Sigh

Twentytwentyhindsight · 25/03/2020 22:50

PhD is so far up her own arsehole, there's only her toes to go before she becomes a singularity in time/space...

BSintolerant · 26/03/2020 00:11

@Twentytwentyhindsight 😂

Should Dr Bot (PhD) surprise us all with her contortionist skills and disappear up her own rear, would that fit in with the paradox of Schrödinger's bot? Or is Schrödinger's butt a better way of describing it? It does have a certain ring to it. Grin
