MLM Bot Watch 60: It takes a village to sink an island.

[acatcalledjohn]

Continued chat exposing things such as the lies peddled and the bankruptcies hidden from view.

For those interested, the Lifetime channel is airing a documentary series called Cults & Extreme Belief. I have seen two episodes so far (FLDS, aired yesterday, and Twelve Tribes, aired last week). This coming Sunday is the first part of The Survivors Speak. So far it has been very interesting to see the similarities to MLM brainwashing. The way that active FLDS members still view Warren Jeffs as a prophet rather than a paedophile is remarkably similar to how Young Living customers view their late leader Gary Young.

In other news: I'm thinking about starting a tinfoil MLM as there seems to be a rather strong market amongst huns.

"Claire" is with Flamingo Paperie.

You made some excellent points Hannah. Very glad you mentioned those Forever Fibbing bots and their dishonest behaviour.

Re: Mr Castle's new J.O.B. ..... he set up his own business not all that long ago so that clearly flopped then. It was a logistics type venture ...great testimonials (from a ProPlanner business and a doll business.....

He also had a fitness business not all that long ago (website dated 2016 pops up when you Google him).

Honestly that family must lose track of how many businesses they have had/currently have at any point in time

I was working so am waiting for iPlayer so I can listen. I can feel my hackles rise just reading some of the comments above “all businesses are pyramids, so is the BBC”. Looking forward to hearing TLC’s contribution.

I'll listen later on BBC sounds as I've been in meetings.

Meanwhile over in Chat: FM world fragrances. Is this an MLM? http://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/_chat/3927766-FM-world-fragrances-Is-this-an-MLM

@acatcalledjohn Yes it's MLM, selling imitation fragrances, cleaning products and weight loss products (always weight loss!)

That's just the thread title, not me asking if it is an MLM

Long time lurker. I have managed to suss out some bots.
They are now all saying they are awash with money and lots of promotions🤣
Is that the sound of HMRC sharpening the knives 🔪?

I can’t hear anything but I can smell BS!

I wonder how many of bots have registered as self employed? If they haven’t they should be worried about people reporting them to HMRC for tax evasion.

Yawn had a mortgage valuer round. Surprisingly they didn't say how amazing her 'renovations' or 'interior design' are!

Good luck trying to get a mortgage!

Self employed, 2 years accounts, and not having a massive directors loan and huge HP payments would make it a little bit easier

I notice she didn't actually say "No" when someone asked if they were selling up!

I think posting about the mortgage valuer/change of mortgage company now is a ploy.

It sets the scene for a later post where the house will go on the market because .

And another MLM thread: www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/3927801-Why-are-all-my-friends-becoming-Body-Shop-consultants

was just about to post that link too,

Good to see people are already dismissing FM World for what it is.

It shows that she needs (and thinks she deserves) constant praise and adoration.

Times must be hard if Yawn’s invited a mortgage advisor to The Thatch. I hope they didn’t get caught short and forced to use the Bot Potty. I also hope she polished the step ladder.

You can get woman’s hour on podcast too, I’ve just downloaded it to listen while I walk the dogs

Just had a look at the Yawn post, her answer to the question was vague in fact all her answers to people’s questions were a bit odd

'Hun'😡😡

Has Mr Yawn got a real job?

Gotta hand it to PhD, a free session to tell you what not to do you in business and now she'll tell you what to do instead - for a fee!

I wish I knew what went on in the heads of people who go into the coaching/guru line of work as it's totally alien to my thought processes.

Broke did a live this morning. He's selling his new thermocrap even though it's not launched by decanting a few from his trial tub into small plastic jars and sending them out for £10 + £2 P&P. No ingredients on the container. Let's hope no one has an allergic reaction, he really will try and make money any way he can. Oh and he's getting in this MLM "at the top of the legs". He really is a parasite.

I expect popping a few untested pills from a batch into a baggie and palming them off on folk at an inflated price is right up his street...

I’ve followed a bot for years now, first when she got heavily into GCC. She was a top UK GCC bot. Wig and Sleaze along with GCC people appear to have rinsed her for thousands. At that point I think she was a victim.

Since then she’s gone through many MLMs, including TS Lies, Poonique and various coffee/diet ones. She’s heavier than ever despite clearly spending she doesn’t have on diet products (she is a healthcare assistant and always talking about the need to pay her debts), and goes through the usual cycle of being her only customer, doing lives, then the final tearful live declaring that she’s lost money but has found a new MLM.

What I hate about MLMs is that they make people victims, but then they turn these same people into liars to trap more victims. The photo is one of many posts she’s put out this week.

She’s desperate, but to put out an ad like this at a time like this is so dishonest.

She’s broke, financially and morally. That’s what MLMs do.

If somebody did have a nasty reaction to one of Brokes magic beans, would he be liable at all?
