@dickiedavisthunderthighs

Salon had a visitor to her new Spanish pad over the weekend - the owner of Wig and Sleaze's currently defunct 'forever home'. A little bit of investigation also shows that the same chap was part of a car insurance fraud gang a few years ago, run by his brother. Reminds me quite a lot of Salon's previous incarnation at LTW with the brothers, one of whom had been in prison for fraud. She is as mucky as they come.
Sorry if I've missed it here, but the LTW boys are currently around Europe touting Bizzcoin, which by the look of it is another OneCoin waiting to happen.

Yoga Bot has finally had her Ltd Company struck off and dissolved from the companies register.

acatcalledjohn · 27/11/2020 18:50

Is it Castle and Yawn who don't see eye to eye?

CompleteBarstool · 27/11/2020 18:58

So not only does Nurse pour all her nursing wages into buying aloe shite she's also lining Castle and her BFF's pockets by buying the ProPlanner and associated products

No doubt she thinks this investment will mean the key to success for her business Hmm

acatcalledjohn · 27/11/2020 18:59

Nurse's purchase and tagging Castle & Bestie is exactly why I asked about whether Castle and Yawn see eye to eye Grin

fitgirl26 · 27/11/2020 19:06

There's a scathing review of Bizztrade which preceded Bizzcoin and was previously Bizztrek on Behind MLM. The brothers plus one other were all LTW. Some mentions of Salon in the comments as well. There is also an article about Bizzcoin which basically says it's a Ponzi. How do they keep getting away with it?

BSintolerant · 27/11/2020 19:26

@acatcalledjohn When Castle set up her virtual village to support fellow idiots during the first Lockdown she wasn’t impressed when Yawn imitated her wondrous idea with her virtual island. If I remember correctly the term “poisoned ivy” was mentioned.

CompleteBarstool · 27/11/2020 19:43

Ooh yes you might have a point about the Castle Vs Yawn thing. Is this Nurse making a point?

BSintolerant · 27/11/2020 19:59

Nursey wouldn’t know what the point was if it pierced her in the bum. Looks like she’s lined Castle’s pockets with £50 when she could’ve spent a couple of pounds on a diary from a newsagents.

acatcalledjohn · 27/11/2020 20:11

That's it!

I wonder what Yawn thinks about Nurse's sucking up to Castle...

Spongebobette · 27/11/2020 20:48

Nurse has given away a C9? Who to? Her business page is private and I think only other bots are in it

BSintolerant · 27/11/2020 23:46

Words of wisdom from Guru Yawn:

Remember babies keep falling over, babies keep wetting themselves ... but you don’t see any 45 year old business men, crawling around in nappies at work !! They learn and improve

Obviously Yawn has never worked in an alleged professional environment because if she had she’d soon realise that some 45-year-old businessmen do not improve: some of them regress. An uncoordinated nappy-wearing toddler is a whole lot easier to deal with than Billy Big Balls throwing a strop in a business suit. Wink

Spongebobette · 28/11/2020 08:42

Most of Yawn’s posts (on her business page) are clearly aimed at keeping her minions in line - don’t give up, don’t listen to negative people

BSintolerant · 28/11/2020 08:51

Yawn is going to see Sarah Millican. I’d laugh even more than usual if she has something to say about the bonkers antics of MLM bots. Imagine Yawn sitting there seething, her blood pressure rising, shaking like a jelly on a power plate. Grin

Spongebobette · 28/11/2020 09:25

And that rotten fruit meme keeps popping up

BSintolerant · 28/11/2020 10:02

They must be getting worried about people wondering why they’re not “smashing it” like their upline claims she is.

fromdownwest · 28/11/2020 11:01

@9dartfinish2nd so what does this mean for Yoga bot? Is this her FL company or another one?

BSintolerant · 28/11/2020 13:35

You can apply to strike off your company if you no longer want to trade as a limited company. There might not be anything sinister behind that, but knowing how murky the world of MLMs is we are wise to suspect otherwise. Grin

If it looks as if a company may become insolvent at some point in the future dissolving it, whilst it is solvent, is a wise thing to do otherwise the director(s) can end up in a lot of trouble.

Spongebobette · 28/11/2020 21:21

I, for one, feel very let down by Nurse who promised a gratitude post ‘every morning from now on’ last weekend and did 2 days and that was it

BSintolerant · 28/11/2020 21:58

Me too. Nursey mustn’t have anything to be thankful for.

That said, if we must be positive, shouldn’t Nursey be grateful for the amaaaayyyyzing opportunity she’s been give. to line Yawn and Castle’s pockets in the vain hope that one day she’ll be able to knock nursing on the head and will have even more time to devote to scamming desperate people?

Yawn and Castle must also be very grateful for the ability they share to part fools from their hard-earned money.

Anyone heard of Revital U? Coffee and "slim teas" and "smart caps?"
Not sure if related to the old Valentus but seems to be operating a similar way?

I'm pretty sure they are the same or very similar
Lemming20 · 29/11/2020 12:21

I actually feel really sorry for nurse. She needs to come to her senses fast. Stockholm syndrome maybe? She doesn’t seem to be a predator like Yawn but desperate to impress.

Is this wonderful individual Castle -
First name same as Rachel and Ross’ baby
Second name Mini ...

acatcalledjohn · 29/11/2020 13:07

@Lemming20 You've got it!

9dartfinish2nd · 29/11/2020 19:43

@fromdownwest

She originally filed to strike off her company earlier this year but an objection was raised to this and it probably was also delayed by the first lockdown, but looks now like she has resolved this issue and her company has now been allowed to dissolve.

Any bot who takes this course of action is likely to be struggling financially as the risks of becoming a Sole Trader far outweigh the risks with having a Ltd company.
