MLM Bot Watch 70!

[MarchXX]

New fred...

My BSAH bot went to some fair thing this week and was trying to flog gift sets for Mother’s Day. She had so much stock laid out god only knows how much it all cost her to put them together. She’s been very quiet about how successful it was.

The Arbonne bots are “fundraising” for Ukraine while at the same time many are boycotting their parent company Yves Rocher for their dealings in Russia and their lack of withdrawal from there. Arbonne is being mentioned as one of the companies to avoid. cosmeticsbusiness.com/news/article_page/Yves_Rocher_faces_boycott_over_involvement_in_Alexei_Navalny_case/174253

The last craft fair I went to was full of mlm. How is aloe crap craft?!

It’s a craft of sorts - witchcraft of the black variety. “I will cast a spell on you. In a matter of weeks all your money, friends, hope for the future and what remains of your mental health will vanish!”

Broke has gone very quiet on FB. His last FB post was March 3, when he was enthisiastic about the opportunity of being paid passively for being a node in a Crypto blockchain.

Maybe he's made his millions and retired. Or does he post somewhere else?

It's more likely that he's had (yet another) Facebook ban

@CanadianJohn I've checked for posts in other groups or pages, nothing since the last one on his page.
Either he is serving yet another FB ban for threats/inciting violence/promoting fraudulent activity/being a waste of oxygen... Or some of the people he persuaded into 'investing' in his last scam are after him and he is laying low, or they have caught up with him and he is now eating through a straw or sleeping with the fishes...

Much sitting on hands. Local BSAH bot doing Mother’s Day bags. It turns out there is 3 mutual friends in village.Awaiting the onslaught of local fairs.Hope I get something on the Tombola. Might need it.

Around these parts it's kicking off in the Avon world on local fb pages.

An Avon bot from a city 25 miles away posted and got roasted. Initially it was along the lines of "we've got enough Avon in the area already" and then it went on to "pyramid scheme/scam/MLM" posts especially when she said she wasn't selling, just recruiting.

My favourite response was " hmmm, MLM .... how to get all your friends to avoid you"

Regarding the income claims for MLM bots surely the family/friends etc
Would have a rough idea of their lifestyle and it’s all smoke & mirrors.
The coming months may be a bit more revealing when bills hit the doormat.

Covid was a prime excuse for MLM’s to thrive, lots of people have the benefit of furlough etc.
So a side hussle was very inviting.

This time around is a different beast.

When your gas and electric eats up any disposable income, and filling your car is a weeks supply of overpriced gunk / pills then you will see a sharp decline.

People just won’t have the money to pay to play.

Sad, but true

Prime example to my previous post is Nurse .Can’t believe her mother thought she was helping. Spare money should have gone to Nurse and her son. I don’t mind helping anyone but leave dubious gunk out.
Covid was bad enough but the Ukrainian issues beggar belief as the fuel situation.

Couldn’t agree more @fromdownwest. It’s a very different situation this time and I think people will be much more risk averse when it comes to the invitation to “speculate to accumulate”. If people do make the mistake of signing up to MLM I wonder if they will exit much quicker and if someone like Nurse was signing up now I wonder if she would have realised much sooner what a waste of time MLM was? Just because life is more expensive and tangible earnings are needed immediately to live hand to mouth?

I do think that flashing the [pretend] wealth around won’t work quite so well and might be more of a turn off. I expect some of the bots will dial down the wealth element and raise the “we are all in this together/caring teamies” thing. Tricky for them to position this “opportunity” right now.

Yeah Nurse said she had ‘a couple of regular customers’ that she’d keep ordering for
One is her, the other is her mum, I suspect
And she claims to love the gel drink but what precisely is she getting out of it - she’s constantly getting colds

I would bet £££££ that her mum and herself are her ONLY customers.

Yawn's losing loads of weight because she's eating fuck all. You get more calories on the Slim Fast plan than she's showing on her 'plan' and that's supposed to be a few weeks max as it's so low cal. It'll all go back on as soon as Abu Dhabi has been and gone...

Bloodsucker crowing on Facebook about her success in Uganda. Screwing over people who have no chance of selling the product. She should be ashamed.

Argh colleague disputes Bloodsucker's ethics. Ammunition please- any links etc? Thanks hunz xxxx

I see Bloodsucker was outraged that, having rocked up at check in with two pieces of enormously oversized baggage, she was subjected to the usual scanning and searching procedures to test for “explosives and drugs” (other contraband is available).

They then had the audacity to charge her for the said baggage, just like they would do for ordinary folks.

The whole anecdote, as with so much from these dreadful people, screams DON’T YOU KNOW WHO I AM.

Nutonic's FB page has a claim from a Type 2 Diabetic (and top seller) that their supplement 'Balance' is managing her blood sugars so well she only has to attend the clinic once a year now. My husband is diabetic and neither his consultant nor his pharmacist would recommend a dietary supplement to help with blood sugar maintenance. Worryingly there is a comment from a mum of a 10 year old with diabetes (am going to guess type 1) asking if he can use 'Balance'.

Bloodsucker mentioned she was on business class but livid about baggage costs. That’s not even loose change back of sofa for her.I note the minions are salivating over her. I wonder if they complained about alleged contracts to MPs friends during COVID. The only difference is you have no control how taxpayers money is spent but they will happily pay money to scammers .
I do hope this year many MLM people shut up shop and maybe try for a real JOB.

She must have had some serious baggage to exceed the allowance, its pretty geneours to say the least! over 60kg for the carrier I generally use!

To clarify I am at the back of the plane, not first class! I wish!

Just saw photo of Yawns Monday Club.Some bored looks/fake smiles. Saddest of all is the lady with a glass unit full of aloe gunk where family photos should be.

Forgot to mention it has apparently taken her an hour to get 6 info packs together. Anyone who has worked in a post room will know how busy they get so she would be let go in a proper job. Maybe that’s why she keeps on the hamster wheel as no skills for the real world 🌎
