@GlendaBulb

It’s nothing less than wicked that a lonely vulnerable woman is being manipulated in this way.

We know she’s just one of many, propping their kids in front of an iPad while they pay to chase a fantasy.

Even if she really is making a tiny net profit (she won’t be), her time would be better spent with her boy. You cannot give a child too much time.

I don’t know how Yawn can sleep at night, it’s a form of modern slavery.

Absolutely. Even if she is making profit (again, she won't be) the hourly rate she would be making couldn't be more than pennies. Yawn is a vampire.

Some MLM hun on a fb page for my village has just posted a typical "support your local businesses" bollox and I have replied...

"I love 'liking' small businesses like the marvellous Tea Jenny's for example, but will ignore posts about exploitative MLM pyramid-recruitment-style stuff".

Two 'likes' so far, and a 'laugh' from a Partylite hun who has posted a pic of three candles with the message that they cost £22.95 each or two for £34.50. Is she f*cking deluded or what? Who has spare cash to spend on candles. Personally I will be putting any spare cash away so I can to pay for my next gas bill Shock. I put a 'laugh' emoji on that post Grin.

I'd like to point out that what nurse feeds her child is irrelevant to the anti MLM movement and I feel like it's being mentioned far too often. Let's keep on topic guys and concerns grate in calling out MLM tactics and BS

Teddy1970 · 18/01/2021 18:06

I have mixed feelings when it comes to nurse, on one hand she has been duped but on the other hand she wouldn't think twice to rip off and lie to someone in order to line her own pockets. She MUST know by now that there is no money to be made from it, she's been in FL for a good few years now and not just a couple like she claims.

I kind of disagree, and here is why:

She is forever no pun intended on about healthy eating, lifestyle changes (8 day C9, I'm looking at you), supporting her immune system, but at the same time uses a dodgy diet as attraction marketing.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not anti supplements. I take an omega 3 pill with vit D almost daily because fish isn't a staple in our house. Other than that we have a healthy & varied diet, we only have lots of gravy once a month at most (and Christmas Day is one of those occasions), we have veggie days and our veggie selection goes way beyond peas and carrots. We eat pulses and various types of rice, not just potato or pasta.

With a varied diet there is little extra needed. Certainly no daily aloe drinks, no C9s, no bee pollen and whatever other bollocks she takes. But daily chicken or mince drowning in gravy with white potatoes, peas and carrots? That's not varied.

She's trying to market a supposed health and wellness business for goodness sake.

In reality she's marketing a most unappealing lifestyle and "business".

I completely agree with @acatcalledjohn. It's also an example of the way bots use over sharing of their children's lives as marketing and how dismally unsuccessful a model that is.

YouokHun · 18/01/2021 19:43

@acatcalledjohn

Weird Willy's videos Helloooh get little engagement so I can't imagine he's drowning in money. Which makes me less surprised to see Homeschool venturing in to crypto.

In other news, it appears the Sleaze has developed some self awareness. Halo

I think WW is struggling. I was struck off his list of people lucky enough to receive his emoji therapy emails on account of having a screen shot of a certain insolvency notice as my profile pic. Now he’s messaging my burner account twice a day to see if I want to sign up for the “full programme”.

He’s asking me whether I realise just how low my self-esteem is and that people like me who don’t sign up for the programme believing they have good self-esteem are the ones who are most in need of help. In fact he suspects I may be on the brink of a mental health crisis. What a good job I’m not teetering on the brink as I hate to think what WW special intervention would be (lots of saluting and liberal use of basil but that can’t be all there is to it surely?). Oh yes, add a strong dose of gaslighting.

All that knowledge from a profile pic?

Someone needs to tell him that gaslighting is abuse. And slap him. Hard.

I think he probably calls this ‘working his business’

dickiedavisthunderthighs · 18/01/2021 20:23

Homeschool's foray into crypto is with no other than the Brothers Grim (of Lifetree World and being in prison fame).
WW's new amazing programme costs $95 a month for a MINIMUM of 12 months ie you might be paying this for the rest of your life.

Spongebobette · 18/01/2021 20:35

Bloody hell

Spongebobette · 18/01/2021 20:49

He’s to twitchy and desperate on his lives it makes me shudder

YouokHun · 18/01/2021 22:36

Yes WW reeks of desperation. If he’s on your case too @Spongebobette I think it’s a sign he’s going to be back on the six figure vegetable delivery any day. As for Mrs H’s side hustle to add to her other side hustle Shock; dangerous ground - just ask Sleaze about Onecoin.

Did anyone sit through Uber’s live the other day as part of a double act with JL bot? It was Uber bigging up JL to a (modest I think) audience of potential bots. JL’s career in FLP sounds stellar! But there was a big chunk missing from her CV. It would be a shame if any of that audience signed up and started paying their hard won savings into “their” business on the basis of Uber and JL’s heavy editing of JL’s amazing FLP career, wouldn’t it?

terrywynne · 18/01/2021 23:06

Regarding, Nurse's child and meals - maybe he is a fussy eater? Just look around the threads here and you see that is not unheard of for a toddler.... We have no idea and it is none of our business. He is a little child and it is not fair to discuss him and his eating online (even if his mother is oversharing information online).

It is possible to say, "oh look, this bot is putting her son all over social media like so many of them" or "there's quite a few bots, including x y and z, who aren't eating as healthy as you would think given the products they sell" without tearing apart the minutiae of their meals.

The bots always bang on about how you don't have to get in at the start but Leech and Uber have both been at it for at least 15/20 years ish I think? Are there any FL bots who consistently get cheques/top in the country (ie: not just in the c 2016 boom years) who have got involved in the last 10 years?

terrywynne · 19/01/2021 10:41

Whilst it is possible to justify commenting on individuals in terms of exposing their hypocrisy/lies, if these threads spend too much time commenting on particular individuals (especially aspects that could be considered personal) it validates the bot's claims that mumsnet is just full jealous, gossipy, bullying haters who should be ignored.

It is easy for hunbots to use directed comments on people's lives to get sympathy while the stats, income disclosure, fall in people getting cheques, reduced bonuses etc are harder to argue against (hence why they hate them being linked on their social media posts).

This ' lonely vulnerable woman' would happily sign up others for her own gain. Sorry, but she is not vulnerable.

I agree picking apart indiviuals to the extreme detracts from the over all message and does look a bit 'mean girls'.

There is more than enough evidence of poor business practice and expose of this sham of a business opportunity and I think best this is focussed on.

She absolutely would. And it is worth pointing out that she- and the majority of other recruits in that downline - have never received even a small chairman's bonus despite being in the business for several years. (Information that can be publically found in FLs coverage of their annual brainwash shindig). and it's not because they 'didn't try hard enough'!

No, I think Mrs H is doing both on TikTok (where MLMs are banned, so they say). FB is quiet unless she’s blocked me. Nothing on Insta this year. I sense that the shine has come off the Choc Chick empire though. Generally she’s quiet on all SM so far in 2021.

CurlsandCurves · 19/01/2021 14:11

Does anyone know much about FM? It’s absolutely everywhere at the moment, I’ve been invited to no end of Facebook groups.

But it seems pretty faceless compared to other mlms. As in you don’t see or hear of any top bots being treated like minor celebrities.

Has anyone delved deeper into this one?

Sackedbot is pushing FM world, claiming she earns £20k a month whilst also begging for people to buy £20 goody bags at the end of the month Hmm She's signed her daughter up too and is lining up the next one for when she turns 18.
Tupperwarelid · 19/01/2021 15:51

FM is all over Facebook where I live. Friends signing up friends etc and then all posting the same shit. It’s on a par with BSAH as one of the most popular.

AlexCabot · 19/01/2021 16:31

Yeah, FM is the most oversaturated MLM at the moment.

They're also not supposed to market the perfumes as 'smell a likes' of the real thing but it's not stopping them. The bots make an absolute pittance per bottle they sell so even with a large down line the claims of making twenty squillion pounds a week are, unsurprisingly, bollocks.
