£7.67 for 330ml of gloop? Does it contain liquid gold?

Yes the item ‘for a customer’ is likely for her mum

Just think of how much close she'd be to her longstanding goal of taking her kid to an amusement park if she just took the £100 from her mum, rather than getting her to spend it on horrifically expensive and useless gloop first which she'll get a poxy £30 commission...

Looking at Broke's photos of him modelling his short shorts I'd say he definitely skips leg day 😂

Thanks for the giggle. The bag made me laugh out loud!

The position of that bum bag proves that Broke doesn’t know his arse from his elbow. The last time I saw legs like his they were hanging out of a nest. Perhaps they belonged to a super soaring flappy pigeon?

Ugh. I've been added to a WhatsApp group by an ex colleague. Her friend is selling Doterra and is facilitating (🙄) a zoom workshop on essential oils. Includes free samples. No thanks.

Broke's Obsydien 'ground floor opportunity' would appear to be having trouble rising above just that, as he's now very keen to remind everyone that he still has a CBD snake oil page going (which, as far as I can tell, has had a grand total of zero interactions since May)...

Anyone know anything about Mannatech? A Mum from school has added me to a group sharing the opportunity 🤔🙄

Never heard of Mannatech but the company is 27 years old and classed as an MLM.

The "working" history of its founder Samuel Caster is an interesting read though...

Well I never, an MLM founder making false claims, scamming people and selling "hoax" products.

Interesting reading @acatcalledjohn you couldn't make it up!

Thanks @acatcalledjohn - par for the course, but wonderful to see it so succinctly put in black & white!

Founded by a serial scammer- but hey, the opportunity's too good to miss!

That is fascinating reading! I like the idea of an Electracat and an Eagle Shield. Timeless Vie should introduce a Ponzipussy and a Pigeon Protector to its range.

How about a LardLimiter?

I think certain bots’ cameras have inbuilt LardLimiters!

Angles and filters, hun!

Hey Broke aka "Hemp Daddy"
If you want people to think your snake oil is a medicinal product try spelling cholesterol and lipid correctly. Also "high blood pressure related to stress and overwhelm" doesn't make sense.
You're welcome
Me.

Yawn gives it loads about her working week being done but then posts on her business group. She may not have any more "meetings" but everything she posts on social media is work!!

The whole lifestyle attraction marketing/you're on social media all day anyway so why not make money/your team are your friends/it's not work if you're having fun thinking that MLMs do, has completely wrecked the boundaries between work and not work for bots. Which means they are incapable of honestly assessing the hours they work or their hour income. (And means that if their 'business' goes bad they lose their social circle too).

Absolutely. Nurse, Yawn, Castle, Uber et al very rarely, if ever post about a social outing with non bots. Given that their fellow bots are direct competitors if not in their downline / upline, it must be a very lonely life.

@bluewavescrashing - Would you want to drink with any of that lot?!

We lost a friend to FL, she became so overbearingly pushy and blinkered, we, as a friendship group had to cut ties with her. It was painful saying no to the business every time we went for food. Sat there as she tried to recruit the waitress, squirming with embarrassment.

From my experience, those at the top of FL, are not nice people, certainly not the shy retiring type they make us believe.

I can't think of anything worse!

BBL is selling off her cheap clothes, well, cheap. Without a shop to store her stock it must be stacked up in her spare room. Tops for a fiver etc, can't be much profit on that.
