@CheekySmile omg that video was amazing.
Xx

SSDGM · 04/09/2020 20:19

Subscribed, great video. My first reaction was how professional it looked and then you said what you did for a living @CheekySmile

I’ll sign the petition too.

BSintolerant · 04/09/2020 21:29

That’s another one in the eye for MLMs! Well done @CheekySmile. Vive la resistance! I hope that petition does well too.

CheekySmile · 05/09/2020 00:06

Thanks guys! Music will be quieter on next week’s video though Grin

CheekySmile · 05/09/2020 13:35

Ok, I’ve just reuploaded my video with better sound

RogueApostrophe · 05/09/2020 20:09

Where did Yawn get a grand from to give away? Did all her downline have to chip in a tenner to fund the pot?

Spongebobette · 05/09/2020 21:38

Omg Nurse is ‘teasing’ Slender September so subtlety with her hobnail boots on

Is there a way of reporting misleading income claims? On Castle’s business page from mid August there’s one of her downline hoppin’ on for a live, hun, with a new recruit. She makes a very direct claim of a promotion meaning a 3% pay rise, taking an extra £300- £500 per month (which would indicate a £10,000 per month income).

I know we’ve heard similar claims but this is probably the most direct way I’ve seen/heard it communicated. Who can I report this to?

This same manager bot (I call her Aberdeen bot) said this in early July-

ONE 1️⃣ SIX 6️⃣ FOUR 4️⃣ FOUR 4

Nope not my PIN number 😂😂

But the amount in £’s my income GREW BY 🆙 from last month to this month...PAYRISE!

One thousand, six hundred and forty four pounds! £1644!!!

When lockdown 🔒 happened...

❌ my Therapy business income dropped
❌ my Child maintenance stopped
❌ I fell through all loop holes with government self employed help so got no aid

🤔 Why am I splashing this on Facebook? 🤔

Because...when I post stuff about mental health, I wish to inspire those to look after their own mental health 🤕

When I post about my fitness journey, I hope to inspire others to improve fitness 💪🏽

When I post about my child and tough parenting situations, I hope to allow other parents to see they’re not alone 👧🏻 (and because I’m god damn proud of her also 🥰)

And when I post about my businesses...I hope to show people that when you are faced with uncertain times...there is always ANOTHER WAY 🙌🏻

One of my fave sayings I heard a few years ago when I was in dire straights, worried and uncertain about my future was this....

“From big set backs, come huge come backs!”

💥🚀💥🚀💥🚀

It made me realise that anything is possible! 🙂

Starting to wonder if wig and sleaze are being paid by the government to bring down the benefits bill. They disagree with masks, they agree with large gatherings of people from statistically lower socio economic backgrounds which then encourages the circulation of covid. They then think care homes should not be restricted to the public when it is shown that 40% of deaths from covid are in care homes and the elderly and ill are most at risk. Here is a conspiracy theory - maybe they are being paid by the government to reduce the pensions and benefits bill by encouraging the deaths of a large number of elderly and infirm and arguing against a vaccine to protect them. We know they will do anything for money and their moral compass is slightly squiffy. Thoughts?

9dartfinish2nd · 06/09/2020 09:54

Am I the only one who is seeing signs that the wheels are starting to come off the lockdown boom?

I've been made aware that allegedly a number of FM World reps have recently thrown in the towel and moved on to new MLM's.

Sadly a lot of the new recruits are going to fall into the never ending cycle of jumping from company to company.

Internal squabbling seems to be rampant throughout the industry, The MLM Police posted several videos last week from UK based Younique Huns who have gone public on their fallouts.

@Cacacoisfarraige I saw Uber's part pics too. She has broken government guidelines so many times with get togethers and holidays. I think she's a bit dim. You can only have 6 households in your garden at the moment. Judging by the number of glasses in the photos it was much higher than that. With numbers going up again, the police are starting to crack down on things like that. Maybe someone needs to pay her a visit. She's a fu**@ing* idiot

dickiedavisthunderthighs · 06/09/2020 12:11

I noticed that Uber's party for all her 'leaders' was missing Yawn - who was at Wagamamas. I've always suspected there is little love lost between that upline and downline.

ToBotOrNotToBot · 06/09/2020 13:08

The uber/yawn friendship is odd. It was well known that they couldn't stand each other then suddenly they're best mates. It's all just fake. It is wasn't for forever they would never see each other

fitgirl26 · 06/09/2020 13:42

I've said it before but I honestly hope that either Wig or Sleaze or both catch the virus. They make me so angry with their posts.
I have a Facebook friend who is autistic and gradually being sucked into the whole "plandemic" thing - I can see it happening but can't do anything as she goes into meltdown if anyone calls her out. It's really sad to see.

CurlsandCurves · 06/09/2020 14:33

There’s quite a big account that I follow on Instagram. She’s just started doing FM. And because she’s got a big following she’s got a huge team of huns working under her in the space of about 48 hours.

And because she’s already quite wealthy from her husbands job, very pretty and glam looking, she’s absolute gold for FM. Wouldn’t mind getting she’ll get fast tracked to becoming one of the big names in the company.

So frustrating. No point in talking to her about it at the moment because in her eyes it’s all going swimmingly.

Isn't it 6 people from different households, officially? Not 6 households but as many people as that includes?

ToBotOrNotToBot · 06/09/2020 17:08

@CodenameVillanelle yes I probably didn't word it correctly but as the people attending were all from different households she could only have 6 people. She will have had far more than that.

Here’s another excellent article from The Talented Ladies Club: www.talentedladiesclub.com/articles/are-mlms-pyramid-schemes-and-other-questions-you-need-to-ask-before-joining-one/

Twentytwentyhindsight · 07/09/2020 18:37

Broke does not know anyone 'qualified' enough to certify his passport photos. I would suggest his probation officer(s)...

CompleteBarstool · 07/09/2020 18:53

It's about 3 weeks until he goes on holiday I think. What are the chances that he and his ex will still be on speaking terms by then?

Is he living with her and the kids again as he seems to be with them a lot?

stockpilingallthecheese · 07/09/2020 19:33

That post yawn did about nurse matching her NHS income by November Hmm

Twentytwentyhindsight · 07/09/2020 19:49

Well if Nurse resigns from her NHS job and has a lot of dental & prescription charges ahead, then it might come true...

BangingOn · 07/09/2020 19:51

My Younique Bot is posting that she doesn’t earn a penny from the purchase if someone buys a beauty box and signs up beneath her.... surely that’s an outright lie, or is their commission structure different to most?

Sforsh49 · 07/09/2020 20:04

I can sign passports. Shall I volunteer for Broke? Though I don't think he'd be keen on my employment 🤣
