@CaroleFuckingBaskin yes, the Cambridge Diet 1:1 is an MLM. It rears its head on FB jobs where I’ve reported it as “Not a real job” selecting “Network Marketing” as the reason.

Doesn’t it make you wonder what other things people will try to turn into an MLM? There’s an old Irish folksong about all the ridiculous things people were expected to pay tax for (ladies’ stays, windows, animals and so on). It didn’t mention Directors’ Loans. Someone should write an MLM version. Wink

Broke - "I'm number 25 in the whole company, directly under the CEO." Of course you are.

My Inteletravel hun (of about 2 weeks) has recruited her husband. Her FB post however fails to mention the husband part and just introduces him as a new team member. He's been in all of 3 days and is relentlessly spamming buying sites on FB all over the country.

I am looking forward to Inteletravel's demise. As if a travel boom is going to happen.

Their most recently advertised holiday is 14 nights in a villa in Orlando, FLfor 4 adults and 5 kids, including flights from Manchester, for...

£14,391.

That's £1,599pp, not including spending money and food.

Bonkers.

BSintolerant · 09/07/2020 16:03

How can Broke be number 25 in the company and directly under the CEO? Are we in Schrodinger’s Bot territory again?

That Inteletravel holiday to Florida must be sold out already. It’s a bargain!

acatcalledjohn · 09/07/2020 16:31

I have no idea what the admission costs are to the various theme parks in Orlando, but I doubt it's cheap.

They claim to be a family run travel agency HmmGrin

Yazoo aplenty.

SSDGM · 09/07/2020 17:09

A ticket for Disney world Florida is Around £500 each, add in Universal for £300 ish and the Seaworld it’s a grand each.

So that’s a £25k holiday. Plus fuel and parking to get to the parks.

acatcalledjohn · 09/07/2020 20:12

HOW MUCH?

£500pp to enter a theme park?

£500?

BSintolerant · 09/07/2020 20:23

It’s outrageously expensive isn’t it? You could buy two businesses in a box and half a C9 for that price.

How much arselicking does yawn need?
In case you didn't know, she is 40 this month.
She seems to believe she looks 18 for some reason.

CompleteBarstool · 09/07/2020 20:32

She seems to believe she looks 18 for some reason

The reason = filters

Look at the filtered photos from earlier today Vs the unfiltered still from yesterdays 'Couple Goals' post.

Getthekettleon2020 · 09/07/2020 20:53

So Uber’s sister has had her biggest month in 3 years. We shall see if next years yoga mat cheque tells a different story.
In fact we will be able to compare the market as they have been on a downward trajectory for some years.

Norma27 · 09/07/2020 21:01

The unfiltered pics really do tell a different picture.
Where is Roomie when we need her?!

Sign me up, hun.

Sleaze is making some wild product claims. Not that I expect anything legit from him.

All health protocol products done and posted out today....

These are the only products out there that myself and my son can take as we both had dilated cardiomyopathy.... [son] had a full transplant....

If you want you body tested and repaired on a cellular level this is the only way to do it....

Rumours emerging that Younique are either liquidating or will be the subject of a takeover or merger with Nu Skin.

SSDGM · 09/07/2020 21:49

Not excusing the price but all three tickets will get you into the parks for 2 weeks each. WDW Orlando is the size of Greater Manchester.

But still, I wouldn’t be booking holidays to florida without the help of a specialist.

CompleteBarstool · 09/07/2020 21:59

Regarding the travel agent MLMs how does it work?

I mean, with something like FL you are your own best customer and end up buying a shit load of products every month for your own use, to keep up your CCs etc and therefore lining your uplines pockets but is there an equivalent for the travel ones? Or is it just pure recruitment?

ToBotOrNotToBot · 09/07/2020 23:11

@getthekettleon

They bots are very clever at the language they use. Uber's sister saying she's had the best month in 3 years could mean anything. It could mean that she's had a terrible 3 years and this month is marginally better. We've all seen her yoga mat cheque, which suggests bizniz isn't great. Even if she's made 1p more this month, the language used suggests that it's a lot more

Inteletravel - you pay a fee to sign up and then you pay a monthly fee to stay active. Obviously you don't sell any holidays, why would you, that's not where the money is and you can't get near the likes of Jet2 or Tui on price.

So it's just a straight pyramid scheme, with everyone paying their 'fees' in each month.

BBL posted a video of herself driving, singing to camera and no seat belt. How does she still have a licence?!

BangingOn · 10/07/2020 08:12

Rumours emerging that Younique are either liquidating or will be the subject of a takeover or merger with Nu Skin.

My Younique bot cousin keeps insisting that the reason everything is our of stock is ‘hyper growth’ Hmm. I’m still worried for her but I’ve tried to warn her so many times.

With regards to BBL, whilst I can’t condone the vitriol on Tattle Life, I think this is the reason she gets so much hate. A lot of what she does is illegal and putting others in danger, which is on another level from the regular Bot activity.

CompleteBarstool · 10/07/2020 08:59

grumpytoddler1 thanks for the explanation of Inteltravel. That makes it even more crazy that people sign up Confused

BSintolerant · 10/07/2020 09:23

Does anyone know why Poonique is rumoured to be merging or going down the pan?
