FL warehouse staff in Italy (and let's just pause here to remind ourselves that Italy is the worst hit country in the world) are still working to keep people supplied with overpriced Aloe hand soap. But it's ok because they are observing health and safety. Illustrated with a photo in which, whilst they are wearing masks and gloves, they are not 2m apart.

Note to FL bots and staff. Your shitty thinly disguised pyramid scheme is not essential enough business that your Italian staff should be working while their health system collapses under the strain.

Oh *Norma, I'm so sorry Sad Flowers.

Is that bruv showcasing products on a hob?😂

Norma27 · 26/03/2020 16:46

Thank you @GoldenKelpie
It feels surreal.

ticktock19 · 26/03/2020 16:53

So very sorry to hear that @Norma27

Twentytwentyhindsight · 26/03/2020 17:10

Sorry to hear that @Norma27. Anyone who sees this dreadful crisis as an opportunity to cash in should be shot.

Norma27 · 26/03/2020 17:17

Thank you @ticktock19 and @Twentytwentyhindsight
They really should be shot.
Interesting to see how the self employed help just announced will help these vultures.

I can't see any of these lowly bots posting any level of profits to benefit from. The top bots will be excluded from the £50k cap anyhow, and most of them are classed as Employed by their own LTD company.

Twentytwentyhindsight · 26/03/2020 17:24

I expect the bots that don't have limited companies are probably not the most compliant if it comes to filing self-assessment returns. Of those that do, 80% of fuck all is exactly that.

Oh dear, what a shame, never mind...

9dartfinish2nd · 26/03/2020 17:48

My sentiments exactly Twenty, turning up at HMRC with a novelty cheque from 2016 won't wash either.

fromdownwest · 26/03/2020 17:48

2020 - I imagine, these bots will be posting very clear and loud how unfair this is.

Ladiva1971 · 26/03/2020 17:55

Ex mermaid, now FM bot is fuming!!!!

fromdownwest · 26/03/2020 18:22

What’s she saying?

Ladiva1971 · 26/03/2020 18:31

She aint happy about having to apply for universal credit, as it is not enough to support her family. And here was me thinking she was loaded...……..

Whiterangey · 26/03/2020 18:54

I am sorry to hear that Norma, that is awful.

9dartfinish2nd · 26/03/2020 19:01

Ellie Flynn of the BBC MLM documentary posted a warning on her Twitter yesterday after noticing an increase in recruitment posts directly relating to the current uncertainty around peoples jobs.

Whiterangey · 26/03/2020 19:10

I think she was expecting the government to just hand over the kind of money she used to earn. UC isn't a lot but will keep a roof over your head with housing benefit etc.

BSintolerant · 26/03/2020 20:38

@Norma27 I’m sorry to hear that. Flowers

CodenameVillanelle · 26/03/2020 20:52

Sacked pays £3k rent. How she expected to cover that as well as everything else on government bailout payments I don't know.
House of cards.

BSintolerant · 26/03/2020 21:14

@9dartfinish2nd I suppose bots are getting desperate and will now have very deep pockets of time (not to mention more nooks and crannies than usual) to waste on trying to recruit the unwary.

For anyone lurking on these threads who is on the fence about getting involved in MLM, here’s a link to Ellie Flynn’s documentary, Secrets of the Multilevel Millionaires:

SSDGM · 26/03/2020 22:11

I’m so sorry Norma Flowers

Whiterangey · 27/03/2020 06:25

Housing benefit won't cover £3k in rent but she also can't be evicted so she will have a roof over their heads.

She will have top claim UC and then wait for the payments if she is entitled. The time it will take is a problem but the government is trying. Better than America, way ahead of America.

GeraldtheGorilla · 27/03/2020 07:13

Can someone remind me who Sacked is please?

MLMsuperfan · 27/03/2020 07:22
