'He'? If it were a she, I would suspect she's linked up with her old partner in crime PhD...

@Spongebobette no it’s not Weird Willy, it’s some “associate” in Australia. I wonder what the things are that Homeschool misses about NWM? It can’t be insolvency, it must be the online adoration from victims. It’s a shame she’s contemplating the “coaching” move because when she reflects on her time in NWM it’s clear she’s happy to have left behind the inauthentic and precarious nature of NWM. She claims to love her job and I’m sure the regular money is a blessed relief but it’s probably short on the trappings of faux “success” and endless “your (sic) smashing it Hun” affirmation.

Good question @VolcanicEruption! It’s quite a scary thought that someone can run such a long term scam in the full knowledge it is damaging many people including, ultimately oneself, but you can then go on to get a job in a charity supporting and advising others about finances and employment, that you’d be barred from doing if you’d caused the same damage to others in a more legitimate, less clandestine world. It’s frustrating that you can do pretty much what you want to people in a “legal” pyramid scheme. I guess to understand WHY this is OK and nobody really gives a shit about conduct in MLMs and the damage done we have to look at who the victims (almost always) are: women…with few childcare, career and financial options - that’s why. Sad

Meanwhile over on WW’s biz page the occasional tumbleweed blows through but no interaction at all. The same is true of his personal page where he is desperately scouting for the anxious, depressed, those with low self-esteem, anyone overweight … anyone! He’s now decided to abandon all sales techniques apparently to bring his message to the people in a more authentic way and not because the hard sell didn’t work! It’s all a bit desperate.

He must surely see that when he’s posting about his family or some other subject he receives lots of interaction in contrast to zero likes on his coaching posts - you’d have thought this would be a clear message to him that vegetable delivery is the way forward for him, not trying to convince people they have problems with self esteem.

Yawns maths again 32 lip balms delivered today but a couple of days ago it was 36.According to Uber 5000 have been sold in the last few days 🎅 ho, ho, ho.

She's also added a tip #21 to the list of 21 tips that was only 20. Guess the FL reps still lurk on these threads

Broke seems to be flogging some TV streaming service but also another classic pyramid scheme: 'get 4 people to pay £20 a month and then they get their 4 and they all get their 4 etc'. He reckons 19 weeks will result in a £10k pm income.

Search his name and you see all the posts he's put on 'work from home' type groups. Look for the ones that start with 'licence to print money' and have 'money maker' pics. He's getting worse! At least the homemade gummies showed some thought.

definitelynotabot · 14/12/2021 09:26

@terrywynne they do lurk, but only in the nooks and crannies of their time Grin

waves to bots

fromdownwest · 16/12/2021 15:15

It is very worrying to see bots pushing these 'Fat Blockers'. One has said you can take up to 4 a day!
Another has posted, and I quote
'One tablet will prevent absorption of carbs, fat and sugar. So enjoy eating without putting a pound on'

FL have managed to create a product that defies science! Bravo

Imagine the state of someone taking 4 a day of these! Would be a shaking wreck!

VolcanicEruption · 16/12/2021 15:54

I can imagine the bots salivating at the threads about how much do you have left in the month after bills paid/ Large inheritances/How much savings do you have/A generous benefits payment. Only they can’t quite reach.

Yawn is only working with 50 people in 2022

Just had a look and yes, sigh, looks like she is Sad.

Yawn started her Xmas break yesterday but was flogging toothpaste by 11am today

What a break. 🤣🤣

Yes. Just come on to say that. She did live that independent company that made bath bombs and wax melts so maybe she's started making her own and it's not Scentsy? Although I'm sure we would have know about it she had....

Yes, but apparently doing social media doesn't count, only meetings Hmm.

Well good for Nurse if she’s making her own wax melts and selling them

Oh I Agree. I am afraid she isn't though. There's a running commentary of her day usually so if she had then surely we would have heard of her making them/testing them etc.
Spongebobette · 18/12/2021 18:07

Thought process
I like being in the ‘in crowd’ in a network marketing business
I’m losing money though
I like scented candles
There’s a scented candles MLM
I’ll do that!

We get it sleaze you have lost weight. Enough already

SSDGM · 19/12/2021 11:59

Sleaze is getting challenged quite robustly in the comments of his latest post. Confirms what we know about him already, he’s a lying gobshite.

Invasionofthegutsnatchers · 19/12/2021 12:04

My guess is Sleaze has been on the amphetamines

WellThatsATurnipForTheBooks · 19/12/2021 12:42

Maybe he needs to give Yawn a few tips as she seems to be a bit confused over the labelling of her photos .....the "after" photo of her in the bikini is actually from before she even got involved with FL so before she started messing up her system with C9s etc.

Spongebobette · 19/12/2021 13:19

She’s, one again, a lying liar who lies

This is very much Coco's modus operandi. He will latch on to some cause (matters little what its nature is or whether it's legit or not, as long as it is drawing in a number of people). He will then self-proclaim himself as part of the 'leadership' of that cause, and act in a disruptive way as to attempt to split off part of that movement behind his banner, preferably the most deluded/gullible, where he can milk them for money for 'the cause' (himself and hangers on like Wig & Sleaze). They have no real commitment to any causes they claim to espouse except to identify and reel in vulnerable people to con.
