They are all Schrödinger bots

Simultaneously independent business owners and unsalaried reps
Working in ‘pockets of time’ and ‘treating it like a business’
Family friendly business and spending time away from home at rallies
‘Helping others’ ie their downline and exploiting them to make money

Etc

@montanaskies Krizma is all low budget bath bombs, soap flower bouquets (Confused) and badly packaged toiletries.

Seems to be flogged by some of the more vulnerable bots.

MontanaSkies · 26/03/2020 07:14

Thanks nakedavenger, yes I believe this woman is pretty vulnerable, though I think she's already managed to sign up some recruits. Free to join at the moment apparently!

CatherineCookson · 26/03/2020 09:06

Sleaze is having a busy time moving fast and intentional (?), then telling everyone to stay in before berating the Government's bill so that people do stay in. Finally he resorts back to being anti everything..

Be a shame if FB kicked him out for false news and hate speech at a time he needed to recruit fast and intentionally.

Spongebobette · 26/03/2020 09:29

'devidedwefall' indeed.

I have reported one anti-Semitic post from 12 hours ago.

btw why is he always urging everyone to 'wake up'? He needs to bloody wake up and realise that he's in the wrong about everything..

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 26/03/2020 09:45

BBL does not sound like she's in a good place at the moment. I notice last night's post about the trailer has gone.

She's talking about trying to lose as much weight as possible without wasting away and about losing "2 stone on my shakes boosters and caps to prove a point".

Is it a combination of MH problems and trying to bump up her income whilst the shop is shut by flogging the JP? Either way she's on dangerous territory encouraging and promoting extreme, sudden weight loss.

nakedavengeragain · 26/03/2020 09:55

Noticed a lot of MLMs are free to sign up right now. Someone would think they were trying to exploit a national emergency or something.

DownThePan · 26/03/2020 11:31

Has anyone joined the Virtual Village that Castle and Co are using as a thinly disguised way to sign people up to the aloe gunk?

fromdownwest · 26/03/2020 11:38

@downthepan

Yes, its very clearly a disguised recruitment tool.

Subtle, I work from home with my products based business, always have worked on line. To the subtle placement of the 'Greens' in the work out section.

The business hub had words of wisdom from her royal highness, thousands of self employed people looking for support and assistance and yes you guessed it, the queen bee sugessted that you..

Work on your mindset
Do daily gratitude
Block out negativity

Her three tips to help you through this.

To be fair the group is riddled with life coaches all trying to sell their wares.

Sadly, I do think that FL will get a shot in the arm over this global pandemic.

Also, talk on how to boost your immunity (sic) system. With vitamins etc, having been told by the scientific community that these make no difference, they still spread this mis information.

Whiterangey · 26/03/2020 11:48

She got 13000 signups in a few days. I think a lot are bought. Just like her Instagram followers which rose by 20k in a single day a couple of years ago.

DownThePan · 26/03/2020 11:54

Thanks for the summary. They are acting as if they have qualified people on the team behind each room - for example doctors in the health section, business advisors in the business room. Is that all a load of guff then?

fromdownwest · 26/03/2020 12:27

It appears so - The 'financial adviser' in the business hub, didn't bother to show up for the web cast. Plus the name of the person that she said was a financial adviser was not listed on the FCA register.

DownThePan · 26/03/2020 12:29

It does all sound a bit dodgy and that they're just exploiting people for their own gain

BSintolerant · 26/03/2020 12:29

Perhaps someone reported the so-called financial advisor to the FCA.

fromdownwest · 26/03/2020 13:00

Also heavily promoting a networking group, I have attended a few of the events and it is very cliquey, not for me.

Strangely enough, Castle was a guest speaker at one of their Expo's a while ago..

Sforsh49 · 26/03/2020 13:00

Yawn is advising propolis cream at £14 for a small tube for sore hands with all the hand washing. You're alright thanks love I got 5 x 400ml pumps of E45 Daily Lotion for £13 off Amazon and my hands are much better in a couple of days thanks! Plus I can have a pump at work (key worker), in my kitchen, bathroom, en-suite and so on for less cash and they'll last longer......,

fromdownwest · 26/03/2020 13:02

@BSintolerant - This is what happens when they try to play in the real world, with real regulators with teeth, and consequences to your actions.

To be fair, I would be quite nervous running a whole website that is giving our advice on business, travel, health, wellbeing etc...

I am sure they have had the whole thing vetted by a qualified lawyer in each of the relevant areas.

9dartfinish2nd · 26/03/2020 13:29

In the months ahead once life has returned to normal there are going to be a significant number of people in the MLM industry who will hang their heads in shame at how they conducted themselves during this crisis.

Whiterangey · 26/03/2020 13:30

O'Keefe's working hands. The stuff in the tube for day use, the stuff in the pot for night.

fromdownwest · 26/03/2020 13:31

This is an interesting watch, can relate to a lot of the top bots.

I don't think they will hang their heads in shame.

GeraldtheGorilla · 26/03/2020 13:49

PHD really is the gift that keeps on giving. Suspect she’s pushing it too far. I think she really does believe, because she gained a PHD, she is superior to and smarter than everyone else.

She was probably an okay student who had the luxury and resources to continue education.

Homeschool is another, like Yawn, who doesn’t want to profit or exploit the situation but does have an opportunity to offer.

They are all exploitative shits; dishonest and self-seeking.

On the bright-side, they are giving me somewhere to channel my frustration during this difficult time.

Norma27 · 26/03/2020 14:21

These bots are absolute scum. My husband's friend has died of covid19 this morning. 53 years old. These vile things trying to profit out of it make me sick.
I hope you read these comments yawn, castle, bruv and many others and eventually hang your heads in shame.

CodenameVillanelle · 26/03/2020 14:23

I'm so sorry Norma Flowers

Norma27 · 26/03/2020 14:28

Thank you code. My husband is devastated. I didn't really know her but do know her brother well.
These bots trying to lure in more victims, or get them to buy their overpriced shite should be prosecuted eventually. Can't wait til they lose everything.

fromdownwest · 26/03/2020 14:42

They are too narcissistic to hang their heads in shame.
