Oh no no no!

I’ve been following a bot since the Organo coffee days. She seemed very vulnerable, not bright and desperate to make money quickly. That was just after Wig and Sleaze had persuaded her to invest a lot of money with GCC, so much that she was their only U.K. Titanium “leader”. It was a complete con, obviously, but she fell for it and tried to recruit others.

I’ve checked in on her every now and again over the years. She’s gone through lots of other MLMs, never once learning her lesson. She’s spent a fortune on crap. I would say that she’s a victim, but I’m not sure seeing how she happily tries to recruit people every single time.

Anyway, she recently posted a new video about her new company. I don’t think she ever named the company, but from the talk of pre launch and other nonsense I think it’s Salon’s new gig.

Anyway...the GCC bot has just posted this-

I feel so drained lately 4 shifts left before I leave my nhs job after 17 1/2 years and i start an amazing new job with an amazing company
Looking forward to a new start 😁 now I need to celebrate 🍾 covid you can go now iv got a night out to plan 🥳

And I think someone’s persuaded her that to make it, she needs to go full time with her amazing new company.

If that’s correct then I really have no words Shock Sad

Anyone noticed that the Valentus bot who is building a villa in Spain hasn't posted any villa updates recently. Her latest companies house accounts don't look like she is earning mega bucks. Could the departure of Salon have affected the earnings of the other top bots?

Dizzy6700 · 29/03/2021 17:31

...plus the villa she says she is buying has just gone up for sale on zoopla. It is part of a small development, so it may just be one of the others that's being sold... orrr has she had to pull out of the sale all of a sudden?

Oh dear is the million pound boy in trouble?

ArbunneHun · 30/03/2021 11:16

But but but... there must be some mistake! Our entirely credible Messiah told the TS Life bots just last week that he was hiring private jets to fly them all off to a 5* resort at a yet-to-be-disclosed exotic location!

Surely that wasn’t just a load of Total Shite????

BSintolerant · 30/03/2021 11:17

“Tripe” sums it perfectly Cacacoisfarraige and it’s probably more nutritious than whatever it is TS Life bots are pedalling. What is going on with Messiah? Easter is nearly upon us so he might rise from the dead and grace his followers with his presence at the weekend.

ArbunneHun · 30/03/2021 11:19

The above announcement came complete with a picture of a FL-style photoshopped TS-Life branded plane that the bots have been sharing all over FB.

You are SO ORIGINAL, Messiah hun

Perthsmurf · 30/03/2021 14:45

Bloody hell, Novowel’s live yesterday was dreadful. Rambling, repetitive, clearly unplanned, plus she sounded like she was ill despite all her claims about the power of aloe.

She’s worse than Nurse. I hadn’t realised it was possible, but she really is!

dickiedavisthunderthighs · 30/03/2021 16:25

Messiah is definitely around, but keeping himself to the private groups. He's just announced that one of high ranking bots is now a mega super duper 1 million diamond petunia or something along those lines in the main group that's supposed to house all TS Life bots. Fewer than 100 people have commented which suggests to me that all is NOT well.

She mentions that she got lots of people wishing her a happy birthday whereas normally her posts get very few likes or comments Just like Nurse The penny never drops though does it? Your friends don’t want to hear about your pretend business
Perthsmurf · 30/03/2021 17:17

@Spongebobette exactly! No self awareness at all. Could that be a common trait amongst lower bots?

Malin52 · 30/03/2021 20:51

No vowels is clearly frustrated at the lack of interaction on her Bizniss and posted that most of her FB friends are a waste of time.
That'll work then

fromdownwest · 30/03/2021 21:03

I think it’s absolutely tragic seeing her lack of engagement and awareness.
I really do feel for her.
Sold the dream on a mountain of lies and deceptions.
How the tops bots sleep at night is beyond me.
A true professional would follow the vulnerable client process with most of these lower level bots.
Whilst the top ones swan around in their huge farrow and ball mansions.
Shame on them

Sforsh49 · 30/03/2021 22:10

If No Vowels is drinking a carton of that crap per day she'll be broke in a month even if it's a small one, especially as she uses two other gels as well! She suggested on today's live that you give the kids a carton a day as they don't get many vitamins.

Plus I bet it plays havoc with her digestion!

Sforsh49 · 30/03/2021 22:22

Also Yawn has done a live about how she makes £440 a month purely from selling just gels to 20 customers. She makes a point of saying skincare, C9, shakes etc are not included in this.

In this live she says 20 customers buy 2 bottles each per month. She tells us that a bottle retails at £22.94 of which £8.29 is profit.

£8.29 x 40 = £331.60

Only £108 short there Yawn, or 13 bottles, whichever way you want to look at it.

Not £440 like she claims to earn from just this one product.

It's no wonder the lady she had the meeting with was puzzled.....

leasedaudi2 · 31/03/2021 11:43

Long time so speak, anti-MLMers.

Been following our fave "doctor" and as someone mentioned, she's now in a scam with another woman who teaches WOMEN about the stock market.

This woman has experience in investments and training but no financial training or teaching training. She's based in Oz so maybe laws are different but how can she do this without having some sort of qualification?

fromdownwest · 31/03/2021 11:57

The whole thing is weird.
She is making out that the stock market is male driven and investing is out of the realms of comprehension for a woman....

Some simple google searches and basic forum questions would show you how to invest in a basic tracker fund.

Not paying a woman thousands to tell me.

She also talks of compound interest, and how it makes investing grow. Stocks pay dividends and growth is from that and the underlying stock value.

Her live would be pulled it off was in the UK and the FCA saw it. No disclaimers about her not being an adviser, no disclaimers about risk.

Jumping from one thing to another is that one.

MLMsuperfan · 31/03/2021 12:09

There's lots of women teaching about finance on YouTube; from long term fund investments through to stock picking through to day trading. All free and some very entertaining (e.g. Humbled Trader).

leasedaudi2 · 31/03/2021 13:14

I know. I have reported the main woman to The ACCC (consumer affairs) but who knows if they care.

As for compound interest - this is a FUNDAMENTAL part of maths you learn at high school!!

I listened to the doctors podcast with this finance woman as guest, and the doctor just laughed about how silly pensions are. FFS in the UK You can contribute £40k per year tax free and benefit from investments and compound interest on those investments.

fromdownwest · 31/03/2021 13:14

I am struggling to follow her logic. She does not want to pay for the advice of a financial adviser or a fund manager as they 'just take your money'.

However, she is promoting a $1,250 course that explains what to do with your money?

I am really confused.

Surley that $1,250 would be better place in a low cost tracker fund, and a few hours on youtube to understand the markets.

The irony in that is mind blowing.

I own stocks. It's not hard. 212 Trading, Freetrade, Hargreaves Lansdowne, eToro. Plenty of ways to get in to it a female novice. I am a female novice and figuring it out for myself is a fuck tonne cheaper than paying AU$1,250 to some self-important twat with financial acumen limited to daddy's allowance for financial advice.

Ah, I see where you went wrong there. You were trying to apply LOGIC to a narcissistic exploiter’s behaviour
