Agree @dickiedavisthunderthighs a lot of her MLM expose videos have been great and she is getting a lot of information about the goings on in MLMs and obviously a lot of people trapped in MLM go to her so that’s good, but I think she’s wasted a few opportunities she’s had to really make life difficult for some of the leaders of some companies by being too manic to ultimately be taken seriously. I comment on MLM issues sometimes on that page but there are a lot of threads there that I keep away from now, especially the over personalised stuff and the punch ups. She won’t be the first anti-MLM person with a very swift ascent in terms of visibility who disappears just as quickly. I think her heart is in the right place, it’s just a matter of making it less about oneself and the drama and more about the MLMs; as soon as the spotlight is on her, it’s off the MLMs and that’s a shame given her audience. The in-fighting is exactly what the MLMs want to see isn’t it?

I am in that group and I hadn't realised it was full of bots.

Hunbot · 16/09/2021 18:55

Sleaze has gone quiet about his monopoly house buying - has even removed the reference to it from his profile (it said something about playing real life monopoly on his profile pic) so i assume it hasn't been going well

fromdownwest · 16/09/2021 20:28

That eagles ‘team meeting’ looked equally as tragic. 7 people around an old table in a marquee.
Castle is hyped though

Waveafterwaveslowlydrifting · 16/09/2021 20:38

I follow the Eagles team success page. It's hilarious. Periodically somebody posts how grateful they are for the opportunity- child off sick, mediocre day out, buying school uniform etc. Lots of bigging up their new victims. Basically pacifying, brown nosing and minimising any doubts that their teamies might have.

If he gets reported for encouraging people to harass Chris Whitty he could end up with the “Go to Jail” card. On the subject of monopoly do we know whether Sleaze ever passed “Go” and collected 200 bitcoins or did that scam fizzle out?

As for the Community Chest, which scam is Salon weeping over these days? It’s a while since I’ve feasted my eyes on her page. There’s only so much my retina can tolerate!

YouokHun · 16/09/2021 21:37

@BSintolerant for Salon see Nutonic. It’s a “drop shipping” company apparently Hmm

Whoever mentioned Mrs Homeschool giving up network marketing the other day seems to be right. There’s an announcement on her FB and she seems to be working as a support worker. Good for her if this is true but it would be good if she got rid of all the various links she’s got to her NWM persona.

The two Glowb bosses has told their minions that they are officially partnering with Refuge as this particular charity is important to them. Cue lots of huns feeling enthusiastic and deciding to keep plugging away for charidy. Refuge confirm they know absolutely nothing about it and confirm that they have no intention of entering into a relationship with Glowb. Meanwhile lots of women are struggling to get refunds for late deliveries or defective Glowb product and are being ignored or treated aggressively with many owed many hundreds of pounds.

@hunbot and @BSintolerant if you’re struggling for a Christmas present for Wig and Sleaze you could get them this version of Monopoly. babylonbee.com/news/new-female-version-of-monopoly-has-you-recruit-your-friends-into-a-pyramid-scheme?fbclid=IwAR1I30lAYqkBOz6LOmA1AZ_OgNEuUjxi18otcuANRd47jq22qNt5IIFKxHk

@fromdownwest

Speaking of Anti MLM - what happened to Charlotte Dickerson - post TV interview she has dissapeared?!
I have noticed this too and I hope it wasn't due to any backlash due to her appearance on ITV's This Morning.

Sadly one of the consequences for some people who go public is that they are subjected to vile trolling by enraged huns who encourage social media attacks.

I recall Elle Beau stating that she had to take a step back due to the strain she felt after the blog she created about her Younique experience started to reach a much wider audience.

More recently Laura Elizabeth Dos Santos deleted all her Youtube and social media accounts due to cruel trolling about personal losses she had suffered, thankfully she appears to have come back to Youtube but it will be interesting to see if she returns to posting anti mlm content.

😂😂Grin Brilliant @YouokHun I’ve ordered two. I do hope that the pearl / rosary / prayer bead clutchers and other members of the Perpetually Offended Society of Humourless Twunts don’t report that post to MNHQ for insidious hate speech against Christian women or you might end up on the naughty step! (I was on it once but I didn’t get piles, but if I were afflicted I’m sure Forever Living would’ve suggested aloe gel as a cure for the 🍇 of wrath.) Wink

Mycatismadeofstringcheese · 17/09/2021 09:12

Imagine the fun you’d have writing the cards for the game.

“Flood in the basement. All your stock ruined. Buy more”

“Company changes packaging (again!). You need to spend $2000 on new stock and you can’t sell or return your old stock anymore”

“One of your best downlines is thinking of leaving. Send her a fake LV bag to keep her in the fold. £200”.

“Deadline to make manager tomorrow! You need £3000 worth of sales from your downline by your next move or you’ve failed.”

BSintolerant · 17/09/2021 10:19

Grin @Mycatismadeofstringcheese

Your company is trading unlawfully because it’s insolvent due to the fact you, yes You (you scamming cunt!) have been paying yourself dividends and running up a big, fat hairy Directors’ Loan which, like the size of your arse and your ego, gets bigger each year! (Do not pass “Go” do not collect 200 Case Credits.) Contact everyone in your downline who quit years ago because they couldn’t make it work (because it was their fault!) and get them to rejoin your team as there’s never been a better time to join an MLM scheme.

Mycatismadeofstringcheese · 17/09/2021 10:31

“You’ve won a place at the annual conference in Dubai!

All you need to pay for are flights, accommodation, food, childcare for your younger kids, the amazing training pack (some leaflets in a plastic wallet), merchandise). Oh and it’s during your eldest child’s GCSEs but they’ll be fine to look after themself).
When you’re there you’ll be pressured to buy a load of over priced MLM branded merchandise so you can capture those perfect insta photos with your shiny MLM coffee mug.
Oh and try not to look sad when you see what is in your yellow yoga mat compared to your uplinks six figure cheque.
Quickly dismiss any intrusive thoughts about how much of her cheque has come from your own pocket by smiling and waving your hands in the air.

Net spend £2500 (but you do get some photos you can use repeatedly on your Facebook feed saying how generous and fun the company is).

Spongebobette · 17/09/2021 11:11

The main challenge being how to capture all those photos for your social media without other bots doing the same in the background

Lol! So many truths in those last few posts

Wonder if the penny is dropping for any minions that might be reading this

Mycatismadeofstringcheese · 17/09/2021 13:14

I can’t stop:

“You’ve been secretly selected as the poster child for your region. All the other players are now transferred into your downline and you receive 20% on all their future purchases and a £500,000 check at the next conference.
Make sure you post regularly that “anyone can do it” and that anyone who doesn’t “just didn’t believe hard enough”.

“You can’t pay your fine for “bed and breakfasting” your director’s loan”. Go straight to jail”.

“Your new stock arrives mouldy and damaged. Miss a go while you make repeated unanswered phone calls and emails to head office. You don’t get a refund and you can’t sell the stock.”

fromdownwest · 17/09/2021 13:24

I think that the 'success days' and managment days, really do show how far FL has fallen. That marquee would have been full to the brim in the peak years. This time, struggling to fill one round table.

Tragic but oh, so rewarding to see.

BSintolerant · 17/09/2021 14:16

Here’s a couple more Hunopoly cards:

“Daddy gives you £125k to buy your way up the pyramid.”

“Downline finds out that daddy gave you £125k to buy your way up the pyramid. It realises you didn’t work hard after all: you’re a lying, scamming, twunt. Go to jail!”

“Purchase a plot at Caravan Park Lane (for your caravan).”

Mycatismadeofstringcheese · 17/09/2021 14:58

Another one.

Save any money you would have spent on MLM and take your child to Legoland instead. You’re out of the game, but the only way to win is not to play.

Waveafterwaveslowlydrifting · 17/09/2021 19:31

I'm enjoying the thinly veiled references to well known bots here 😁

TimeFlying · 18/09/2021 12:20

Hi there. An acquaintance has recently got into fruit only diets and is now posting her own diet coaching within a company called New Paradigm. Not only does it sound dangerous health wise but the affirming social media posts seem very MLM to me.
Anyone heard of this one?

Spongebobette · 18/09/2021 14:50

Nope but the name sounds as pyramidy as fuck

“You discover your upline joined the amaaaayzing opportunity just one day before you signed up. Go back three spaces.”

“Six days after receiving your MLM Box of Delights you see sense and return it to Head Office. Collect £199.”

Let’s up the game a bit, so to speak. How about an MLM edition of Cards Against Humanity? Go!! Grin
