@Teddy1970

Gosh I remember Barn bot, she used to come on these threads to try and defend FL, there were some very interesting discussions in those days! I don't think she's doing it anymore because she came back on here after a hiatus to say that she'd seen the light. Welsh bot is still active I think.
I well remember barnbot. She got out eventually (of fl) and started a legitimate business, something to do with childcare I think. I wonder how she's doing. Can't remember her real name for the life of me.
Teddy1970 · 23/01/2021 11:37

ketosavedmylife if you Google barnbot mumsnet you'll find it!

Spongebobette · 23/01/2021 11:50

She started several companies in the last few years after FL
All of which have been dissolved or struck off.

Spongebobette · 23/01/2021 11:52

Which makes you wonder whether someone who has experienced success in an MLM, which she did - renting a barn etc - had actually learned how to run an actual business
It’s all hype and recruiting and whooping in MLM, nothing real about it and no one is running a business at all

BangingOn · 23/01/2021 12:12

Sorry, I’m getting myself confused here and thinking Barnbot and Welsh Rarebot are the same person. I need to update my spreadsheet! Welsh Rarebot is still going strong throughout her ‘maternity leave’ and recruiting hairdressers.

I think having to use code names for everyone does make it harder for new people to understand the threads, but having a summary and the links in the first post is a great idea.

BangingOn · 23/01/2021 12:17

Just checked in on Ironbot, bragging about being debt free as if her business wasn’t liquidated owing HMRC thousands of pounds. She is recruiting people with the promise of ‘35 optional Zoom calls a week’. 35!!!

Thank you!

What did we call Welsh Rarebot previously?

Teddy1970 · 23/01/2021 13:16

I thought she was just Welsh bot? I don't recall her being called anything else, I could be wrong though.

BangingOn · 23/01/2021 13:18

I’m probably just inventing the barn part as she lives in one too, I am easily confused!

Spongebobette · 23/01/2021 13:48

Yes she’s Castle’s upline I believe

I’ve never really worked out who is where in the pyramid

But Yawn is in Uber’s downline

Teddy1970 · 23/01/2021 13:53

I often wonder who's in Bloodsuckers downline, is Uber her number two bot or is she in a separate downline?

mermaidtales · 23/01/2021 13:59

Has anybody heard of The Freedom Movement? My colleague who has been part of some sort of travel agency MLM for years has been posting cryptic statuses and images about what looks like a new MLM called 'The Freedom Movement'
I can't find out much about it and naturally all of the posts give away very little.

Bluewavescrashing · 23/01/2021 14:01

Bloodsucker's downline is large made up of African people who really can't afford to be wasting money on FL 😠

Spongebobette · 23/01/2021 14:11

I think Bloodsucker is the Urbot

Bluewavescrashing · 23/01/2021 14:15

Largely, I mean.

Teddy1970 · 23/01/2021 14:35

I don't know how Bloodsucker sleeps at night, I really don't.

Spongebobette · 23/01/2021 15:02

It’s not a word I use lightly, but I think she is evil

She moved her focus from the UK market when she saw it was becoming saturated and started ‘prospecting’ in African countries where the cost of a ‘business in a box’ represents a huge investment. People will get into debt to buy one in the hope they will build an income for their families. There are people who have no safety net.

She writes trite little homilies on her FB page to keep them keeping on

It’s disgusting

9dartfinish2nd · 23/01/2021 17:05

Would it be safe to say that Yoga Bot no longer sees FLP as a priority any longer either?

Spongebobette · 23/01/2021 17:45

She’s doing fitness classes for Forever - wonder if they are paying her for them

She’s super fit and and a great role model for a healthy life so it’s very disappointing to see her shilling for such a company, particularly the C9s

spanfan · 23/01/2021 18:21

One of yawns downline has waxed lyrical about her incentive of a new FLP dressing gown. ..

That has to be the one yawn herself got just before Xmas. 😂😂😂 She won't even buy her own incentives. 😂😂😂

BSintolerant · 23/01/2021 18:29

Every penny counts when you’ve got a huge Director’s Loan like Yawn’s. How much does she owe ....?

CompleteBarstool · 23/01/2021 19:24

Yogabot is my Bot Crush.

Glamourous Granny or what?! She has the looks, the body, the sense of style, the house, the family .....

She's also been doing the proper ice water immersion tub thing (in a bikini)......which makes me PMSL when Yawn goes on about turning the water temperature down on and having a half-arsed cold shower for all the health benefits.

Yawn, you're a poor imitation!

Lemming20 · 23/01/2021 19:44

Is bloodsucker the one whose surname rhymes with peach and, well, sucks blood? I thought she had another name.

Didn’t realise Yawn had an upline, her own down line is so massive I assumed she was pretty high up...

Lemming20 · 23/01/2021 19:47

@BSintolerant excuse my ignorance but I thought her and her husband were the only directors of her company. So they basically borrowed from their own profits and therefore owe themselves? I’ve read her accounts but never saw the loans as a problem, just figured she wasn’t making that much money anymore...
