That's great news about Nurse, it's taken a while but she's got there! I hope Yawn hasn't given Nurse a hard time about it, but Yawn did put a passive aggressive post on Facebook about people giving up the other week..

WellThatsATurnipForTheBooks · 29/10/2021 09:18

Keeping everything crossed for Nurse and that she's seen the light. Stay strong Nurse.

I notice Mr Uber isn't on holiday with Uber and the kids (and not for the first time). I'm guessing that he gets to stay at home and continue working on renovating the holiday let whilst Uber flaunts her wealth and aspirational lifestyle to lure in the lowly bots.

[quote YouokHun]@dickiedavisthunderthighs yes that’s heartening, let’s hope people are donating direct. It really is a horrible cynical exploitation of people’s generosity.

I wonder if more people are wise to this MLM ploy now? There was so much of it from MLMs who saw the NHS as a good opportunity during the pandemic (sponsor an Avon hand cream for tired nurses anyone?) and I really noticed as time went on an increase in them being called out for it by people generally (not just anti MLM people). I hope it’s a sign of growing awareness of MLM. For all the crowing from the DSA about how great the pandemic has been for them (with a temporary surge in recruitment positioned by them as more retail sales to real customers trapped at home 🙄), it’s ultimately damaged MLM as more people have been pulled in and are now quitting and reporting negative stories, big surge in followers to anti MLM this year too.[/quote]
They did get a temporary boost in recruitment but it's safe to say that for the majority who signed up during furlough reality has dawned on them.

It's actually just fuelled the increasing levels of awareness of how MLM's are nothing more than scams to benefit the 1% at the top.

Look at what is happening at FM World, they are desperate to get new products out as the perfume/aftershave line no longer seems to be as popular and as everyone on here knows the vast majority of purchases are made by reps within the MLM so new products have to be made available in order to keep the lowly bots buying and propping up those at the top of the pyramid.

Seems the FTC in America is making things trickier for MLM companies.

I guess time will tell if this is a genuine concerted effort to hold MLM's to account, I presume that the powerful pro-mlm lobbying groups in the states will be up in arms regarding this announcement.

Nothing screams helping a local charity more than a private paypal link!

At least do it via gofundme, so the charity can then have Gift Aid. Granted, you would not then have the money yourself, but this is for charity isn't it? Isn't it?

spanfan · 29/10/2021 16:30

There is a longterm bot I lurk on. She dabbled in coaching and is now back with an mlm ready for an amazing launch this weekend.

She does this whilst holding one of her 3 week old twins who are both poorly and not sleeping.

It's such a shame that she has to work with such teenies. She looks exhausted. I've limited sympathy as she almosy definitely knows the score.

Pockets of time isn't always as amazing as they say, is it. And she should be resting in those pockets, not persuading others to join her gang.

A real J.O.B might have given her some mat leave... but we don't talk about that, do we. 😭😭🤣🤣

YouokHun · 29/10/2021 17:51

Castle’s recent accounts are now available on the CH website.

Waveafterwaveslowlydrifting · 29/10/2021 20:02

@YouokHun can you do a summary for us about Castle's accounts please? I wouldn't know what I'm looking at!

Uber is looking for second hand barbies for her youngest. Not the talk of a hugely successful businesswoman

JohnStonesMissus · 29/10/2021 20:05

I don't really understand balance sheets either...

Hunbot · 29/10/2021 20:07

The bots are clearing their directors loans - i noticed that last year. Castle has now repaid hers. Wonder if hmrc was coming sniffing

Spongebobette · 29/10/2021 20:23

Well she must have some money coming in, then

OP posts:
Twentytwentyhindsight · 29/10/2021 20:45

@Hunbot - my thoughts also.
Seeing as all the top bots use the same accountants, the memo appears to be out there.
Might be difficult for some of them though.

Waveafterwaveslowlydrifting · 29/10/2021 21:11

Castle seems to only go live when she's a bit tipsy.

terrywynne · 30/10/2021 08:00

Another of Yawns minions - one of the gem named ones seems to still be FL involved, plus has taken up mentoring, and has signed up for ex bot-turned publisher latest offering. It is interesting the route through MLM to coaching/mentoring and the the growth of subsidiary companies to support the new coaching businesses. I'm sure it didn't happen as much back when these threads started, and all the subsidiary businesses didn't exist in such numbers back then.

Spongebobette · 30/10/2021 09:10

Is she the one who specialises in mentoring men?

OP posts:
VolcanicEruption · 30/10/2021 09:41

Sorry guys it seems Nurse has just switched allegiance to Castle. She has liked and commented on her latest waffle.Don’t listen to them as it hurts my ears and intelligence.
Strange how we didn’t get any photos/videos of motor home holiday.
I don’t understand accounts but can see numbers dropping quite dramatically. I think she probably had money from parents for her directors loan as they sold their house 🏡. Talk about downsizing.

WellThatsATurnipForTheBooks · 30/10/2021 10:01

Castle's Insta story at the moment has a bit about how, if you haven't placed an order for a year, you can be transferred to her team and she'll coach and mentor you .....oooh this could get a few people's backs up Yawn

I'll screenshot and remove identifying info and post here....

Haha I can see handbags at dawn!

JohnStonesMissus · 30/10/2021 11:35

Or handbags at "Yawn" lol...

Spongebobette · 30/10/2021 11:37

Designer handbags at dawn

JohnStonesMissus · 30/10/2021 11:43

Why does Nurse think she's going to have success with Castle when the formula is the same? Nurse has the same network as before and it didn't work then and it won't work now...does she think Castle can work magic or something? What can Castle do that Yawn can't?

Spongebobette · 30/10/2021 13:23

Take even more money off her for planners and super special one to one mentoring

OP posts:
Spongebobette · 30/10/2021 13:30

Nurse, tragically, just wants to be in the gang and won’t see how Castle cynically exploits everyone - firstly to feed her ego (she needs constant narcissistic supply) and also to rinse the minions of their money
