How the mighty have fallen. Castle in the same bracket as Uber's mum, Yawn and manbot! That has made my day. Fuck you Castle for screwing over so many vulnerable women. If you're reading, hiya hun.

Spongebobette · 02/03/2021 11:32

we know that this year the bonuses are a result of increased recruitment due to the pandemic; it is going to be especially infuriating to see Yawn et al profiting from exploiting desperate people and then using the cheques as a marketing tool to hook more in

I saw that HypnoBot (the one who is besties with the castle brother) has a big post about how she quit her own team for a year in order to rejoin under the eagles. Why would you give up your own team to be someone else’s lackey ?

I'm not sure a sad yoga mat cheque will have much pulling power- they really don't show a lot of reward for a 'high flying' year of hard botting in a particularly good year for them.

Spongebobette · 02/03/2021 12:04

They are such spinning spinny liars though
Castle will say she ‘took a year off for family reasons’ despite the fact that these businesses are supposed to create ‘passive income’
Yawn will say wow look even in a pandemic my company is giving me a bonus - you can’t expect the huge cheques in such a year but I am so blessed

Can someone take a look at Salons accounts and tell me if she took out a £50k directors loan last year or she and her OH put in 50k?

KindnessCrusader · 02/03/2021 14:27

Can someone tell me if Young Living (oils) is an MLM please?

SSDGM · 02/03/2021 14:44

Yes. One of the worst. The guy who started it was convicted of pretending to be a Dr and also allowed his own newborn child to drown due to his pseudoscience beliefs. Google Gary Young.

KindnessCrusader · 02/03/2021 15:07

Oh no 😢 An old schoolfriend is involved and is selling the dream life really well. I hadn't heard of the company before so hoped it was legit.

KindnessCrusader · 02/03/2021 15:34

Not so I could get involved you understand, so that she wasn't being taken advantage of.

Yes, my friend is drinking oils on her stories.

FranceTeam · 02/03/2021 18:28

Is it safe to drink essential oils? Is it even possible to ingest such things ?

acatcalledjohn · 02/03/2021 18:54

Essential oils should NOT be ingested. If your friend is doing that I'm guessing she doesn't care much for her insides.

I certainly wouldn't but I can see they promote it on their website:

Actually LOL’d at Yawn taking her “prizes” out of the boxes for a photo so it looks like she’s won twice as much 😂

Sforsh49 · 02/03/2021 20:23

No Vowels has had calls from head office about her posts and she appears to have deleted some of her lives amongst other things.

YouokHun · 02/03/2021 20:25

Ms S has a cracking thread on her FB about Totally Shit Life. I really feel that Messiah should be doing more than clearing his FB feed of incriminating content because I sense a net closing on him. He’s hopping mad about her YouTube and has managed to get it taken down so she’s going to edit it... should be interesting to see the edited version.

One hun has popped up who has been his biggest defender since Vida days, she’s not a fan anymore. Ms S has had loads of comms from people who have been very damaged financially and psychologically by the teachings of the Messiah. As well as venting on FB I hope they will to speak to the Gardai fraud office.

KindnessCrusader · 02/03/2021 20:28

Can someone message me who these people are?! This is fascinating!

CompleteBarstool · 02/03/2021 20:45

What is she in trouble for? False health claims?
Teddy1970 · 02/03/2021 21:20

Ooh no vowels has been bollocked by head office? But I thought they owned their own business and didn't have a boss?...oh hang on.

Sforsh49 · 02/03/2021 21:24

@CompleteBarstool she doesn't say exactly but I would hazard a guess that's what it is. There's a post about the propolis tablets disappeared and one where she says she gets all her vitamins from the gel has gone too. There was also a live about her fridge breaking which has gone but I don't know why they would have had much issue with that

ketosavedmylife · 02/03/2021 22:16

I had a run-in with a potential Scentsy rep on my local village fb page. She had said she was considering doing Scentsy and would anyone be interested in buying. I posted urging caution and to do research about the business model.

It didn't go down well and I was shouted down as being negative. I did get a couple of supportive comments however from others who were very au fait with the realities of the MKM business model.

Sadly, all our comments were removed from the conversation and when I commented again, complaining about this, someone said it was because my comments were 'bullying'. I was so incensed and said it was unfair that I was accused of such a despicable thing with no ability to defend myself. Sigh.

I did wish the woman best of luck with her venture but again reiterated that she should be careful to write down all income and expenditure and make a note of all hours worked. She will learn a harsh lesson in due course.

One of the supportive comments posted an Income Disclosure Statement and a copy of the This Morning programme. Word is definitely getting out but at the same time the comments on the thread made it clear that many people still do not understand the damaging nature of MLM, they just think it is a legitimate real business opportunity.
