I was just coming on to excitedly post that castle has deleted her Instagram- has she seen the light at last!!!

Then I noticed she’s just renamed her account Sad and seems to have regenerated into more of a hunbot than ever

Liquid collagen.

FL: £2.50 a day for 3g

First result I got on google for liquid collagen: £2.35 (one-off purchase) (or £1.93 for repeat order) for 8g

Those up-line bonuses have to come from somewhere.

JohnStonesMissus · 25/09/2021 13:49

You can get liquid collagen way cheaper than that, Reverse Life and So Collagen is exactly the same stuff but much better value plus they do good deals from time to time..

Nurse seems ecstatic to have tested positive for Covid! I hope she doesn't get it like I had it, it's not something to be excited about.

Twentytwentyhindsight · 25/09/2021 16:15

I seem to remember someone on here recently saying that it looked like Homeschool had quietly given up botting, but she's out there banging the Crypto Ponzi drum loud as ever.

fromdownwest · 25/09/2021 16:36

Google the name of the crypto coin she’s pushing…
I hope she gets pulled up by her ‘investors’ on this one.

Spongebobette · 25/09/2021 17:23

Her ex is still banging on and on about low self esteem and how he can help 🙄

New People Manager has just moved to our store. She’s done a very friendly introduction post which is nice. Up to the point she says that she has her own small business she runs in her spare time in network marketing. Scentsy. Bet she’s rubbing her hands at the thought of a whole new set of victims 😭😭

She’s already said she’s going to be running competitions on the work fb page…

Spongebobette · 25/09/2021 19:21

That can’t be allowed surely?

OP posts:
swampytiggaa · 25/09/2021 19:27

I think she’s the person we’d have to complain to. Which is awkward….

Hoping she’s new to it all and her enthusiasm will die off. Tbh work is such a shit show at the moment I doubt she’ll have time to push her side hustle 😂😂

CloseYourEyesAndSee · 26/09/2021 08:59

Nurse has covid and said she has to isolate for 5 days. That's not right is it? It's 10 days from positive test not 10 days from first symptoms??

lostinlego · 26/09/2021 14:37

@CloseYourEyesAndSee
Test and trace take it from the day your symptoms start. It's only from the test date if you have no symptoms.

Malin52 · 27/09/2021 10:31

NoVowels hasn't posted on her Facebook about FL since July although her profile pic is her posing with a bottle.

She ditched FB a while ago though after she said it was a 'waste of time' after getting no interaction on her bizniss and she jumped ship to Instagram

She spent a few months posting odd eye melting gifs.

Her Instagram is now private.

That's another fallen off the shallow, slow moving wagon that is FL and the Yawn upline.

Malin52 · 27/09/2021 10:53

And oh dear Nurse doesn't feature in any of Yawns 'focus groups'. She not a rising star, a made manager or part of her academy.

Surely nurse is wondering why she doesn't feature in these special groups and realises now she's been cast aside after 4 years of effort and nothing to show for it.

Yup, £80 for 30 days' supply at retail prices.

I don't blame FL for jumping on the liquid collagen bandwagon, but it's going to be hard for the reps to sell it at that price. But they'll all be pressured encouraged to use it themselves. That'll help bump the team CCs, won't it.

Oh it’s all about the underlings buying it

I see another bot is heading down the "certified therapist and hypnotherapist" route Hmm

Welsh Rarebot will be specialising in self-esteem and helping people find their internal happiness.

Roomie is also doing a hypnotherapy course to add yet another role to her ever expanding list of "specialisms" the most recent of which is "Certified Trauma Informed Coach".

I really do wonder if these courses are regulated in any way

Spongebobette · 27/09/2021 16:12

I find that really scary actually

WellThatsATurnipForTheBooks · 27/09/2021 16:34

They also seem to use their own traumatic life stories as if to try and validate what they're doing.

Surely if you're receiving therapy you don't expect or want to hear all about your therapists toxic relationships, or their experiences as the victim of sexual abuse or bullying.

Quite chilling, actually Sad. People who suffer trauma and are desperate to access appropriate support from health professionals won't be expecting to be pitched/exploited by MLM bots.

I feel like a lot of coaches are taking advantage of a distinction between certified (which sounds good) and accredited (which I associate with having the backing of a professional body or academic institution).

There is a lady who does positive psychology - not a bot but is friends with/mentors some of the bots that have more succesfully switched into lifestyle/business coaching line of work - who has founded an academy certifying coaches. So certainly they have completed her training and she has issued a certificate but, whilst she I think is academically qualified, they presumably would not be recognised as professionally or academically accredited.

It's a subtle variation on words...

Teenagetrouble · 27/09/2021 18:09

Does anyone keep up to date with John Lewis bot? She popped up on my feed - I thought she was bankrupt?

Twentytwentyhindsight · 27/09/2021 18:20

@Teenagetrouble -it's her former company that is insolvent, owing HMRC over £100,000 and a massive unrepaid director's loan.
She had entered into an agreement with the insolvency practitioners to start paying some of it back but defaulted instantly.
Haven't looked at Companies' House for an update lately.

YouokHun · 27/09/2021 18:54

@Teenagetrouble Uber has been selling JL Bot as having had amazing success over the years with FLP. One particular fairly recent Live they had joint billing and totally glossed over her financial Armageddon. The audience was new bots and potential sign ups and it was incredibly misleading for them. A lie can be a sin of omission or commission Uber.

Spongebobette · 27/09/2021 20:16

If the best example they can find to showcase success is someone who defaults on an insolvency agreement - that says a lot
