Ok, prepared to be cancelled and told off but ....

Homeschool looks bigger than ever despite her magic chocolate chicken “liquid gold”. How can you tell such lies about its effects when it’s clearly snake oil? Trim my arse. Or not, as the case seems to be.

It could be a Covid related delay. There again, it might not be so trivial!

It's hard to say, however if a First Gazette Notice is issued in the coming weeks then that would indicate the accounts are indeed late and company strike off proceedings will take place around three months after that.

@ssdgm I totally agree. Homeschool looks bigger than ever. I would never mention someone's weight, unless they shill weightloss products and have an MLM 'health coach'.

9dartfinish2nd · 08/07/2020 16:44

Even looking away from the world of MLM and the dire accounts of top bots, I fully expect there will be no Ltd Company allowed to dissolve in this country without severe HMRC scrutiny in the coming months and years.
The government has to claw back the furlough scheme money eventually and it's an absolute certainty that they will be given the green light to clamp down in every way they can when it comes collecting revenue.

If a company is struck off, then the loan will need to be written off. In which case, she will have received a dividend or capital payment from the company and she will need to pay tax on that. HMRC will be looking to her to pay the tax if the company is struck off, she won't just waltz off into the sunset.

Also, when you strike off a company, you accept the liabilities of the company personally. This is because you haven't gone through a formal liquidation process where potential creditors would have been identified and dealt with. So any liabilities of a struck off company would become the liability of the directors.

So in summary, there's no way round it, you've got to stump up to HMRC. Of course if you were a just a bog standard criminal you could just not declare anything to HMRC, and then wait to see if they send you to prison.

BSintolerant · 08/07/2020 18:46

I wonder how much tax she’d have to pay on that huge DL?

grumpytoddler1 · 08/07/2020 18:50

How much is it? About £700k? Dividend tax on that will be 38.1% (assuming she's a top rate taxpayer), so £267,000.

Someone has ripped into the Network Ninja on MLM Lies exposed page.

Looking forward to reading the comments later.

CaroleFuckingBaskin · 08/07/2020 20:13

Cambridge 1:1 diet plan seems to be popping up all over fb at the moment.
Looks to have all the hallmarks of MLM.
Is it??

Network Ninja gives me the creeps. Another post is about Modere and Homeshool is mentioned in dispatches.
I am concerned about the FM fragrances flooding fb as a lot of the sellers are also members of the Universal Credit group.
I would rather pay or be given as presents the real McCoy than expensive fly killer.

Spongebobette · 08/07/2020 21:15

Expensive fly killer LOL!!!

CompleteBarstool · 08/07/2020 21:30

Yawn's last meeting of the week must be desperately needed by the boyfriend/girlfriend couple as they have zero interaction on their business page bar a couple of likes by the same few family members.

Also the girlfriend of the couple posted a few days ago looking for some summer work so clearly the money from flogging aloe jizz isn't flooding in yet.

Getthekettleon2020 · 08/07/2020 21:42

Yawns team members seem to get very little interaction, and very few purchases made of the snake oils. So I presume the money 💴 is struggling to ascend to the higher echelons.

Spongebobette · 08/07/2020 21:57

Nurse has had a delivery which seems mainly for herself apart from one item

And she’s ordered the new serum for herself

Good little downline. Yawn will be pleased with you and will continue to pretend to be your friend as long as you keep it up

Hi no idea if I'm in the right place but it's my first post and admittedly I've not read much of the thread.

Thinking of becoming a body shop consultant, anyone else here doing that? Positives and negatives please

Spongebobette · 08/07/2020 22:31

Oh dear. I’m afraid you won’t hear any positives here!
It’s an MLM, which should be enough to put you off. Body Shop already had a high street presence and a recognisable brand which might fool you into thinking it’s legit but sadly Body Shop at Home is pure MLM

BSintolerant · 08/07/2020 23:49

@grumpytoddler1 that’s a big, fat, hairy tax bill.

@inthethickofit19 please don’t become a Body Shop Consultant or get involved with any MLM / direct sales companies: you will lose money. Only brainwashed fools and liars will tell you otherwise. Have a look at this post:

www.talentedladiesclub.com/articles/fake-it-til-you-make-it-how-mlm-reps-lie-to-recruit-and-sell/

Talented Ladies Club is an excellent resource for articles about MLMs / Direct Sales.

If you want to earn a bit of extra money have a look at the £10 a day threads on Mumsnet. Whatever you do, don’t get sucked into MLM: it has the same odds as gambling.

inthethickofit19 · 08/07/2020 23:52

Thanks ladies!!

BSintolerant · 09/07/2020 00:03

@Getthekettleon2020 Grin Can I add Expensive Fly Killer to Timeless Vie’s Runcorn and Widnes Perfume Edit?

It would grace the shelves in Halfords alongside Eau d’Ordure, Gift (a limited edition for the German market), and Cheque Invisibile (which is fragrance free)?

We’ve got a new one coming out called Potty by Yawn, a mysterious blue liquid which evokes childhood memories of wet weekends in caravan parks in Rhyl and the unforgettable fragrance of chemical toilets. It comes in a green canvas bag, resembling a toilet tent, complete with a zip which won’t fasten properly and keeps getting stuck.Wink

@BSintolerant Love it!!!

PHd is the worst of a bad bunch.

She lies, manipulates and makes ridiculous income claims. And thinks showing 'testamonials' makes it legitimate.

I think she believes her own shite.

I'd love to call her out but don't want to be blocked. 😂😭

I'd LOVE to know how much she really makes and how much she spends. And how many clients she really has, and if they make any money.

God, she is awful.
