@Perthsmurf I wonder why the links to the not so charitable donations disappeared. Is there any evidence that anyone actually sponsored them?

fromdownwest · 08/04/2020 20:42

Maybe the boys were worried that HMRC May want to look into it?

Perthsmurf · 08/04/2020 20:55

@BSintolerant my former bots 2 uplines got some donations (I clicked on their links before they disappeared) last I saw was only in the region of £80-100 each.

Bruv or someone has told them all to delete the posts with links to their PayPal fundraisers, and I think that’s odd.

Awful people, as you say @BS £20 packs are hardly charitable or good value Angry

Jigsawpuzzle · 08/04/2020 21:39

Yes HMRC check PayPal and everything else financial.I would expect that dept and DWP to take on more staff for investigation work.
As we know not all bots have proper accounts.

Bluewavescrashing · 08/04/2020 21:42

Blimey. Give me £20 and I could put together a really lovely pack on the high street (in normal times obvs). What a rip off.

fromdownwest · 09/04/2020 08:32

I wonder why they were asked to delete? Orders from the mothership?
Interesting?
They’ve banked their cash already though.
My local fundraising group asked the local hospital what they wanted, the answers was pens, calculators, Cerebral bars, energy drinks and teabags.

So we bought a shed load of each for our three major hospital.

No biz cards left, no grinning pictures with the exhausted staff, no social media gushing. Left it at the door with a thank you, and left it there.

Not one of the hospitals said a need for overpriced hand gel and protein shakes

fromdownwest · 09/04/2020 08:35

Grin cereal bar. Don’t think I’ve ever typed cerebral before. Strange auto correct!

Twentytwentyhindsight · 09/04/2020 09:20

There's a few bots that would definitely benefit from cerebral bars!

ticktock19 · 09/04/2020 10:35

Eurgh..Sacked is now on the anti-vax campaign trail sharing a video called 'the fall of the cabal' as she claims to have 'social influence' so feels it's her duty to share it with her followers

funkylittleboatrace · 09/04/2020 11:21

Nurse has moved her C9 start date again 🙄🤣.

Twentytwentyhindsight · 09/04/2020 11:26

The only point of doing a C9 is if by dong one, you can inveigle one or more of your customers to do one alongside you for 'mutual support' (definitely not sales!). It would appear that Nurse's acquaintances are reluctant to fork out good money for 9 days of starvation alleviated only by ingesting vile gloop and pointless shakes...

Twentytwentyhindsight · 09/04/2020 11:26

Spongebobette · 09/04/2020 11:29

I don’t know what ‘vibe higher’ means

YouokHun · 09/04/2020 11:35

The peddling of conspiracy theories is a great tool for keeping people on message. There are lots of examples at the moment, Mr & Mrs Messiah, Wig and Sleaze, Sacked, just for starters and I’ve really noticed this among other bots I watch including some high up ones with a big reach.

Create fear
Increase mistrust of other authority figures
Increase need to cling to a group of “like minded” people
Increase sense of being in the know
Increase sense of being in a place of safety
Create more mistrust of any evidence based meds, information etc
Encourage others to express concerns and affirm them as being creative, visionaries able to see through the lies: ego boosting
Create sense of “goodness” in the information shared by being “compelled” to share information, creating further attachment

ticktock19 · 09/04/2020 11:55

@YouokHun completely agree with you

Twentytwentyhindsight · 09/04/2020 12:26

Spot on @YouokHun.

DownThePan · 09/04/2020 13:55

How will conspiracies help Sacked shift knock-off perfumes or Messiah to shift mint-choc-chip weight loss shakes?

Spongebobette · 09/04/2020 14:06

It keeps the underlings compliant and buying stock - they feel part of a special club and want the approval of the top people

mlmingaheartbeat · 09/04/2020 14:25

@YouokHun - totally spot on - as I've noticed not only bots but their industry trainers and "life" coaches - even Social Media "gurus" spouting the same conspiracy theories - and then sitting back to watch post engagement - as posters cast their own 2p's worth of drivel!
I must admit - it's very very clever, it keeps the bots relevant and those who want to stay in the spot light will keep up the charade for all it's worth.
If one post doesn't get the necessary traction - switch it up and say something more critical/provocative and see if that generates more engagement!
Only the clever ones will know how to do it properly - would be interesting to know if it's the same person / people that are coaching them?

SSDGM · 09/04/2020 14:39
The lovely Savannah Marie has been sent a letter from R&F. Some interesting changes to the contracts, like you can only sell your business with their permission, cannot mention the brand name and you can only do charity fundraising with head office permission. Sounds like a load of arse covering during the backlash MLMs are facing from the public due to their predatory behaviour during the pandemic.
SSDGM · 09/04/2020 14:40

Another interesting point is you cannot get bonus trips etc if you are in another MLM and you can’t charge people for training.

fromdownwest · 09/04/2020 14:42

The ex John Lewis bot - OMG!!!!!

She’s done an Instagram saying she’s been out doing door step product deliveries herself and fed ex only so bigger items.

Hardly and essential travel. They do think they are above the rules for us mere mortals don’t they

fromdownwest · 09/04/2020 16:20

Maybe she will earn enough to pay back her debt to HMRC.

spanfan · 09/04/2020 18:36

How long until Castles son breaks his ankle on the firemans pole. 😭😭😭

And apparently she worked hard to give him his life.... So her dad is getting paid for it, is he?? Yeah right. 😂😂😂

Whiterangey · 10/04/2020 02:55

Castle on Facebook talking about her 2017 cheque and how she hasn't worked her business properly since then.

So she's getting a tiny cheque this year and knows she cannot avoid people finding out how little it's for this year. Id love it to be a Yoga Mat cheque, a virtual one obviously.

She hasn't given jet soon this life, her parents have. They will all lose everything.

Only 4 days until the cheque reveal. The bad thing for th he bots is that apart from key workers, other bots will be watching as it's not like they won't be at home.

Noticed Yawn hand delivering a package. Not essential. What don't they understand about that? I'm out of the house more than most as I'm doing caring duties and buying essentials and getting Medication for others. I have not made one single journey where if stopped I couldn't prove was essential. I act like I'm infected and that absolutely everyone I see is infected and everything I touch is a source of infection.

There is nothing that forever sells that is essential. Hand soap is th he only thing people are being told to used. You can get that in supermarkets. Shower gel can also be used as an alternative to hand soap. What they sell is not essential.

They are all knobheads.
