Which MLM is PingPongBot involved with so I can have a quick Google?

Spongebobette · 17/04/2020 16:52

@acatcalledjohn hint please!

Spongebobette · 17/04/2020 17:00

She’s FL

My god that’s a terrible data breach

Spongebobette · 17/04/2020 17:02

First name same as the TV prog character surname Montana
Second name starters with an H and rhymes with bricks

BlackCatsRule88 · 17/04/2020 17:25

Crikey. That’s an appalling breach!

SnoogyWoo · 17/04/2020 17:33

Wow that is an insane data breach. I just chose one of the people at random on the most. Put the number in my contacts, looked them up on WhatsApp. I now have her photo, looked her name up on Facebook and matched it to the photo. I now have all her photos, where she works, job title, phone number, email address, location, kids names etc. Taken me 2 minutes.

Disgusting behaviour by a bot, she needs locking up.

SnoogyWoo · 17/04/2020 17:33

List not must!

fromdownwest · 17/04/2020 18:09

Has some one reported that? I can’t quite believe how many names and contact details she has shown the world.

I would say that she would lose her ipo licence, but I doubt that she has one.

fromdownwest · 17/04/2020 18:10

ICO

CompleteBarstool · 17/04/2020 18:17

I've found PingPongBot but can't see the info...has it been removed already?

Spongebobette · 17/04/2020 18:20

It’s on her Insta stories

Spongebobette · 17/04/2020 18:21

Oh it’s gone

fromdownwest · 17/04/2020 18:29

Almost like they read these threads isn’t it

Spongebobette · 17/04/2020 18:56

I think we can say with some certainty that she was alerted by a Forever Living bot who reads these threads

waves

BlackCatsRule88 · 17/04/2020 19:03

It goes to show what little grip they have on “real” business that it didn’t occur to any of them that she was breaking any kind of regs.

Spongebobette · 17/04/2020 19:14

I have screenshots

SnoogyWoo · 17/04/2020 19:15

Just proves they are not real business people.

disappointed101 · 17/04/2020 20:53

I don't usually post here but recently on my local fb page, I've seen Arbonne, Forever Living and now Avon getting people to sponsor care packs for the NHS. Over priced handcreams, energy gloop etc. One person raised a lot of money and everyone telling her how amazing she is. Just doesn't sit well with me at all. I bet the bots are loving it. This one bot that got serious donations was at our toddler group recently and hardly sold a thing. A fb friend is now promoting pamper parties via zoom with their 'must have products'. Ick. She had been v quiet on the FL pushing until she recently got furloughed from her FT job. Anyone else seen this pushing of care packs?

YouokHun · 17/04/2020 21:19

@disappointed101 yes, phoney fundraising is a major way right now of harnessing people's goodwill towards the NHS. Its been around for a long time (who could forget FLP’s breast cancer care kits), but Covid19 is a real opportunity. It’s about profits and maintaining position and also about trying to place product in front of new markets. FLP for example loves a bona fide healthcare setting as it gives an air of legitimacy to its Aloe jizz if it’s sitting by the nurses’ station or something. Those people who accept the sponsored product may find themselves contacted later. It’s entirely self interest and it disgusts me.

Whiterangey · 18/04/2020 00:55

If it's for the NHS, people will rush to donate. We all want to do what we can. I can't get together 100 hand creams, most people can't, so when someone says they can and shows a huge amount of them, people donate.

My hands are screwed, healthcare workers must really be suffering. It's easy to get people to donate and they know it, so they take advantage.

They are likely feeling grateful for the pandemic.

Norma27 · 18/04/2020 08:57

Hoping Dora is ok. I noticed they didn't post anything about the rally and normally are a mine of information for us.

Spongebobette · 18/04/2020 11:40

@ DoraExplorer99 are you OK?

dickiedavisthunderthighs · 18/04/2020 14:32

Wig, Sleaze and Wig's daughter have gone full metal David Ike

Whiterangey · 18/04/2020 14:34

Hope she is safe and well and checks in soon.

I can't help but feel a bit sorry for Castle, she posts about her BFF and how close they are and are BFF'S forever. Then on her BFF's page her BFF posts a lot about her BFF, which isn't Castle .

That has got to hurt.
