Yes it’s the 71st thread focused on exposing the lies of MLMs and the deceptions practiced by so/called ‘leaders’ who recruit recruit recruit!
You will only lose money if you join their ‘team’ - don’t do it!

I presumed Gorge was a name there! They are so professional with that and signing off with kisses! I do that all the time in my professional capacity!

Re Fierce's legal help. Are any of them in fact proper solicitors. They could be in a more administration capacity as I have been previously.Ironically he was struck off for dodgy dealings.

I doubt she has any legal help given how badly drafted her documents are. She’s probably taken her previous clients to court for non-payment of her fees by using the money claims online website. Nobody in their right mind would instruct solicitors to do that for them as their legal fees would eat up most of the costs and possibly even exceed the sums they were trying to claim.

I hope Castle and Fierce’s alleged business (which their terms describe as “entertainment” - nice try!) bites their fat lazy arses. All it will take is a savvy bot (there must be at least one out there lurking in the shadows) to sue them for fraudulent misrepresentation, alleging their T&Cs (which surely form part of their contract - written or otherwise) or falls under the Unfair Contract Terms Act. They might be trying to convince their followers that there isn’t a contract (when in fact they are entering into a contract because they’re paying for a service) so if that service isn’t up to much Castle and Fierce could be sued for breach of contract.

C&F … how apt! What a pair.

Traceyfudge77 · 02/07/2022 11:33

@BSintolerant so if that service isn’t up to much Castle and Fierce could be sued for breach of contract

……..and Castle might like to note that only one of them has obvious UK assets available to be seized.

Angrymum22 · 02/07/2022 11:46

They have had nearly 700 suckers sign up so far. £27k for a bit of flouncing around in Lanzarote and a very amateur website. They are probably using Fierces finance funnel because it’s already set up. Not bad for a few hours work on holiday.

Garliccoriander · 02/07/2022 11:58

In the current climate I’m concerned how many relationships are going to be explosive, or how many single mums can’t do things for their kids.

fromdownwest · 02/07/2022 12:32

Excellent point re assets.
Castle - we know you read this.
Your business partner may be in Gibraltar for tax purposes, but you are UK dom and Uk Resi.
Therefore the full power of HMRC is on you and your assets.
All it will take is one of your signups to take you to town.
who sets up a business with copy and paste t&c’s to then say ‘just ignore them’

You are a sham and shame on you for this blatant rinsing of people.

BSintolerant · 02/07/2022 12:33

Are C&F quoting the number of casualties at 700 or is this a verified fact?

fromdownwest · 02/07/2022 12:37

‘I was short of money even though is an incredible price! Mat leave life

So my lovely bro in law lent it to me so I can join and get learning!

I'm so excited for this✨

See you all in September!’

‘same I really haven’t got a spare £39 but I just felt I will regret this if I don’t sign up, and one of the reasons I need to change things “financially” xx’

Two peoples tragic comments.

I genuinely hope C&F lose it all. How on earth can they take money from people, knowing it’s borrowed.

Without being too harsh, if you have to borrow £39 - then an online course will not solve your problems!

BSintolerant · 02/07/2022 12:33

Allegedly they had 660 as of yesterday but have posted several lists of further joiners.

Traceyfudge77 · 02/07/2022 13:30

I did read that Ive borrowed £39 comment but, from a bit of digging, I think that is from one of the stooges.

Twentytwentyhindsight · 02/07/2022 13:35

Yes, there are a number of similar posts in that vein (I was worried about finding the money to join, but I sold my kidney and now I'm soooo excited to be part of this amaaayzing group of inspirational leaders!!!) that are clearly planted by stooges.
They are the same ones who are the first onto any of the posts asking 'awkward' questions with the 'I've known C/F for years and I trust them and they've TOLD us there are no cancellation fees'...

Angrymum22 · 02/07/2022 13:41

Just had follow up email to nudge me to enrol.

I cant believe so many have fallen for this.

As posted above - Castle, please get out now. This is going to end badly and you are the one with UK assets. You could end up losing the lot.

definitelynotabot · 02/07/2022 13:51

.... oh, and Castle I hope you don't realise how much of a scam this is.

If you do then shame on you.

Either way it needs shutting down now before a load of people who can't afford to lose money, sign up for a pile of shite and find themselves locked in to shelling out money they don't have .

Angrymum22 · 02/07/2022 13:57

Quick search on google and you can buy 2000 interactive followers for 29.99.
I was wondering why so many posters just like and post the groups admin name with no comment.
It’s so sad that people are falling for this shite.
I was recently approached by a company who sells followers. It actually pays well. Potential business idea😁

Twentytwentyhindsight · 02/07/2022 14:22

I would certainly take the 'eleventy gazillion joiners' hype with a pinch of salt.
We all know what MLM scammers are like when it comes to such figures.
C&F are clearly trying to create as much hype as possible to jump people into joining.
A great many of the 'hallelujah I've been accepted, my life is complete' posts are clearly planted, and the number of tag-bot posts as pointed out by @Angrymum22 is a dead giveaway.

BSintolerant · 02/07/2022 14:53

Those were my suspicions too @Twentytwentyhindsight Even if only five people have bought into C&F’s “entertainment” they’ve still got to deliver high quality content or face the consequences.

Bravo to those who have infiltrated their group and caused a disturbance! 👏🏻👏🏻Vive la resistance! 😃

BSintolerant · 02/07/2022 14:57

Thinking about it … if I’ve understood this and they’re taking payment now, i.e a couple of months before their entrepreneuriversity (!) opens its doors it’s likely that they haven’t actually created any content. I wonder if they’re going to see how many fools they can persuade to part with their money before they worry about what they’re going to teach and if there aren’t enough victims they’ll pull the plug?

Twentytwentyhindsight · 02/07/2022 15:10

Oh, I'm sure they don't have any sort of structured content planned as yet. Knowing Castle, she probably thinks that by just appearing for the minions and waffling a bit of bullshit, she will be doing enough.
Not sure that will satisfy them once they're paying good money though...
Mind you, when you read the T&Cs, it's purely for 'entertainment purposes'.
Given that we've already been promised mediums, will there also be jugglers, acrobats & magicians?

Twentytwentyhindsight · 02/07/2022 15:12

Or maybe she'll turn it into a talent show, with each student having to do a turn to 'bring out the talent within'?

BSintolerant · 02/07/2022 15:17

😂They won’t have to engage any contortionists because they’re experts at twisting the truth and tying themselves in knots in the process.

Perhaps they should hire an escapologist to show them how to get out of the tight spot they’ll inevitably find themselves in - and they won’t need a psychic medium to predict that’s going to happen. And who needs a hall of mirrors and a freak show when they’ve got filters to take care of that?

Angrymum22 · 02/07/2022 16:01

Had a quick look at members of the group. Quite a lot of FL bots have joined up. Can’t remember her nickname but the bot who shares a first name with Ike Turners ex wife and her surname is someone who looks after fish in rivers is there.
I am keeping an eye open for any familiar names.
I wonder if any of the big boys are using burner accounts to join the group. It would be hilarious if they try and disrupt things.

Garliccoriander · 02/07/2022 16:02

I don’t believe for a minute Yawn has done gardening with those talons. Like the exercise regime you never see her doing any. All the gear and no idea.

NormalForNuneaton · 02/07/2022 16:23

Didn't she do a joint presentation with Yawn about a week ago?
