Castle probably read here we'd all noticed and made him remove his DPD job from FB.

Her sons teacher will be thrilled with her pen and scented candle from Castles own proplanner range......

The chief hun from Obsidiyen or however you spell it can fuck right off with this bullshit.

I’ve had a look at their website, they have three products that aren’t guaranteed to do anything. If Broke rejected the “opportunity” then it must be bad. Mind you, he’s pretty full on with the illegal health claims for his CBD stuff at the minute so who knows with that clown.

Is younique still going? I don’t seem to hear much about it now

Spongebobette · 10/12/2020 18:23

Oh yes. I have a very keen Younique bot on FB

Sforsh49 · 10/12/2020 19:05

Broke's having a night off, he feels like death and needs to recharge....... CBD not working? And night off from what?

BangingOn · 10/12/2020 20:30

Unfortunately Younique are still going. My cousin is a year in and posting cringeworthy things multiple times a day.

9dartfinish2nd · 11/12/2020 12:22

For all the latest going on with Younique follow The MLM Police- antimlm on Facebook.

It appears another raft of black status presenters have left the organisation in recent weeks.

They are in freefall and it's only a matter of time before the inevitable happens.

BangingOn · 11/12/2020 16:55

Thank you, I will check that out. I still can’t believe my smart, savvy cousin has got in so deep.

Shouldn’t Yawn sped money sorting her roof out rather then having her forehead injected?

fitgirl26 · 11/12/2020 17:32

Wasn't Yawn getting all emotional about being able to buy her son a surprise car for his 18th a few weeks ago? As the one he is posing in front of looks suspiciously like the one they bought him for his 17th 🤔

Yes she was. I think I posted about it on here at the time.

The only reason I can think of for these sort of blatant lies is that the turnover of her followers is so fast that nobody is around long enough to spot these inconsistencies.

Shock no wonder the collecting mum wants such large donations if she's putting it through her MLM - I don't the BASH scheme but that must be a decent chunk of a monthly target.

Sadly that isn't the first "person collecting for group gift wants to spend it on their MLM" thread I've read this year. I think the others were birthday/leaving gifts. The only positive counterpoint to reading more examples of cfery is that people seem more wise to it (on here at least).

There was a monat thread the other day too (not about gift giving). I guess the fact there are .ore threads about Moms may be a consequence of their drive to profit from covid.

Spongebobette · 12/12/2020 11:24

Oh that thread has been deleted

YouokHun · 12/12/2020 11:31

Yes, just seen that @Spongebobette. I wonder why? I always expect threads discussing or including MLM behaviour to stay on MN.

Bluewavescrashing · 12/12/2020 11:32

The younique rep I follow is having therapy for her online shopping addiction. She doesn't work, does makeup selfies all day hanging about at home, boss babeing. If and when younique goes tits up she'll have a hell of a reality check having to get up for work every day like everyone else.

VTechnophobe · 12/12/2020 11:36

Has anyone noticed the same accounting firm do loads of the FL bots' accounts. I wondered if they are in breach of industry regulations allowing Yawn and Uber to bed and breakfast their directors' loans? If someone reported the firm would it put a spotlight on some of these small companies who would otherwise not be on HMRCs radar?

Spongebobette · 12/12/2020 11:49

Can the original poster delete the thread?

YouokHun · 12/12/2020 13:50

I think you can request your thread is deleted @spongebobette though it normally says why it’s been deleted whereas that one said “we are taking this down for now to check out one or two things”. It can’t have been too outing as there must be thousands of bots setting themselves up as class reps and trying to improve volumes through parent donations towards teacher gifts! It’s certainly not the first time I’ve come across that; had the same problem at my DC’s former school in the shape of a Tropic class rep. Shame for her that I was one of the parents Grin.

Spongebobette · 12/12/2020 14:33

I must say that teachers would find it a lot more thoughtful to receive a card with a heartfelt personal note, which they would keep, rather than any number of boxes of chocs (and what a bloody insult to use the goodwill of parents to boost your MLM business, it’s shameless. Presumably the suggestion is doing the rounds in the uplines’ ‘trainings’)

Bluewavescrashing · 12/12/2020 16:37

I'll be gutted if any of the parents of children in my class give me mlm shite. I'd rather have nothing.

nooksandgrannies · 12/12/2020 17:00

Not sure if anyone has watched this in regards to MLM - but there seems to be more and more expose's on this than any other subject :-

YouokHun · 12/12/2020 17:13

@BSintolerant

😂😂 *@YouokHun*

The thought of The Sinister Two Ronnies indulging in horizontal saluting disturbs me. I can imagine The non-sinister Two Ronnies doing a sketch called “The Pied Piper’s Pink Pipe” where the virtual village was overrun by rats and bots because the Pied Piper couldn’t get his pipe out of his dungarees quickly enough. He also got caught short for similar reasons, until a rat called Basil shot up his trouser leg, bit his pink pipe and made him cry. The Pied Piper Peed no more and was last seen standing in his power with his legs crossed.

BTW @BSintolerant I lovingly crafted a long reply to this the other day then accidentally deleted it. I was all fingers and thumbs due to the distress of having your images of WW running through my brain. To summarise, my message said “you’ve really run with the idea of WW’s pink pied piper pipe and basically I’m worried about you Hun”. Grin
CompleteBarstool · 12/12/2020 17:40

Castle's really going for it on the Insta stories these days, documenting every tedious bit of her life. Does she really think people are interested?

Anyway this evening she has filmed her son on the toilet. Is nothing sacred?

Spongebobette · 12/12/2020 18:02

No
