Homeschool’s alleged retirement from scamming has been short lived as I see the crypto scam was being mentioned again at the end of September on one of her FB pages. I guess the lure of the fast buck (that rarely materialises) and an army of adoring followers hanging on her every meme is just too attractive to swop for a modest but guaranteed salary and authenticity.

Uber's sister's facebook has suddenly been virtually made private - all that's there now are photos and videos of Uber's wedding.

I'm always intrigued when that happens as they go from broadcasting every bit of their lives to suddenly hiding everything and then return again (often with a carefully edited newsfeed).

Why?

Spongebobette · 19/10/2021 18:11

I suppose it might be so newish minions can’t scroll back and see the long history of identikit posts stretching back into infinity

My colleague became fully botted with FL in the spring and is 8 months into maternity leave now. She's doing the whole shebang as evidenced on her private group which I've joined (naughty spying). Going to FL HQ for family day, getting our colleagues to post product reviews on the group, offers for teachers only (we both teach in the same school), craft fair, wedding fairs. She has openly posted that she needs FL to work out so she doesn't have to return to teaching in February. Some colleagues have made pity purchases. It's clear that she's spending more than she's earning on products for personal use.

I just hate seeing somebody who's so talented, charismatic and educated so far down the rabbit hole. It won't end well. So angry at the bustard men running this shit show and cashing in on women. 🤬🤬🤬

Spongebobette · 19/10/2021 18:53

It’s really upsetting that
a) she’s highly qualified and intelligent yet still fell for the scam
b) she’s so desperate not to return to teaching

I had a peek at Weird Willy’s Facebook feed for the first time in a wee while today. Pure tumbleweed, emphasised by the fact he’s recently posted a few videos from a year past. They show views in the hundreds. Nowadays he’s lucky to get 20 views.

Does anyone know if this is his only sociabl media channel? I’m just wondering if these videos get more views elsewhere. If not you’d tyepink he’d get the message by now.

I think he’s a good example of the kind of person often involved with MLMs (or connected to MLMers). Desperate to coach, deluded as to capability despite zero qualifications. Inability to acknowledge or accept when the market is saturated, or never there in the first place, and that no one else is buying into the nonsense.

Worse than that, he’s harmful and happy to take from those most vulnerable. No shame.

PieonaBarm · 19/10/2021 21:55

Yawn reckons she's given up alcohol for good. Wonder why

WellThatsATurnipForTheBooks · 19/10/2021 23:02

Maybe the post she did recently about not waking up until midday at the weekend and feeling like shit has something to do with it.

Spongebobette · 20/10/2021 09:03

Weird Willy’s special offer is ‘limited by his available time’ you know!

He’s got to drive a van to actually earn money

OP posts:
SnoogyWoo · 20/10/2021 11:45

Weird Willy actually says the offer is due to his need for cash flow! Wow sign me up lol.

Spongebobette · 20/10/2021 12:50

Ah he’s read somewhere that prices ending in a 7 get a better response

ON WHAT PLANET is an hour with him worth £97 and where did he come up with a ‘value’ of £1500?????

Anyone else follow the Valentus bot from Manchester who moved to Spain and bought a villa? Well she is now on her way back to Manchester because of "Brexit".

She's also trying to branch off into the build your dreams coaching... when they do that; it's usually a sign that the pyramid of people is drying up...

Spongebobette · 20/10/2021 16:16

Name clue?

OP posts:
Dizzy6700 · 20/10/2021 16:23

1st name - Same as our amazing Mrs Dos Santos
2nd name - Same as English retired footballer Tony. He only ever played for Everton

She's right up at the top of the Valentus scam, along with 2 or 3 others.. She used to be good pals with Salon, but there's been no interaction since Salon dropped them all for her new scam.

Spongebobette · 20/10/2021 16:33

Right thanks got her

Another charlatan

I've seen a few fallen bots lately. The nuskin ex blue diamond has gone silent after a whirlwind succession of MLMs. A few of her ex downlines are also out as well as her sister and her fiancé. The iBuumerang couple have also given up the ghost, as well as a few others that I've seen regularly bouncing around the industry. I wish these people luck with their recovery (as for many of them that's exactly what it is... recovery and deprogramming!).

Perthsmurf · 20/10/2021 18:04

@Spongebobette I agree on WW, how he values himself at that sort of figure is beyond me! He is a ridiculous but manipulative man. The only comfort is that his old fan base seem to have understood that and switched off. I think we’re the only people viewing his posts!

Spongebobette · 20/10/2021 20:33

He’s a bit manic and could do with seeking some professional help himself

Has Weird Willy been sniffing Basil again? 🌿 Grin
Maybe amphetamines.

He's got 2 lads that are young adults FFS and he's producing this shit, surely they'd cringe with embarrassment if any of their friends saw their weirdo dad making a fool of himself like this.

He really is clueless. We're almost certainly the only viewers of his latest efforts.

Malin52 · 21/10/2021 02:00

WW is fascinating. He's sharing videos from last year that got 700 views. All his recent ones are 3-12 views (which are probably all you lot!) and 1 share (him).

Desperate times.

WellThatsATurnipForTheBooks · 21/10/2021 08:51

His "salute" really is quite odd. It's all part of the package that creeps me out.
