She appears to be in a new build with artificial grass
it’s clearly small or she’d have been boasting about it
how the mighty have fallen

I think Phd May be confused in this big new world of investing.

LV bag £1,410
if you had bought stock in it 10 years ago instead of the bag you’d have received ‘£7k’ passive income.

Either, I have missed the biggest divi payer in history or that clown is confusing capacitó growth with passive income.

BSintolerant · 07/08/2022 09:59

They walk amongst us … 🙈

Please could someone give me a clue as to Yawn’s ex BFF? I’ve lost track.

Twentytwentyhindsight · 07/08/2022 10:07

Quite apart from not understanding the difference between capital growth (LVMH shares have increased in value by 517% over the last 10 years, so her investment would now indeed be worth around £7k), she forgets to subtract her initial investment to calculate that growth (so about 5.6k growth).
I really can't be arsed to calculate what dividend payments (passive income) would have been for that period on an initial investment of £1410, but as you say @fromdownwest it won't be close to £7k.
So someone who proudly plasters their financial illiteracy and general innumeracy all over social media has started a Ltd company to dispense unregulated financial advice? But she once bought a LV bag! Sign me up Hun!

Good to see that the Scamversity freshers' week FB group has all of 8 members (Castle, Mr Castle, Bruv, Fierce & Mr Fierce and 3 associated 'coach' types) and absolutely zero engagement.

Spongebobette · 07/08/2022 10:57

The split between Castle and ex BFF seems complete- exBFF is constantly going on about her new BFF

Interestingly, Yawn does not seem to have found a replacement BFF… she only ever mentions minions (and they keep changing as they drop out) The ‘T0p Gunz’ team which she ran with her ex bestie seems dead

They have a freshers page?

NormalForNuneaton · 07/08/2022 11:41

I would love to know what's behind the fall outs.

It's bound to be something unscrupulous.

Twentytwentyhindsight · 07/08/2022 11:43

@Spongebobette "🎓SCAMVERSITY FRESHERS WEEK 2022"

Spongebobette · 07/08/2022 12:20

Omg yes have found it
hilarious

they are big on the ‘x things in x days’ aren’t they

10 lives in 10 days

5 days sharing 5 income streams

7 solutions - 7 lives in 7 days

Spongebobette · 07/08/2022 12:22

(That very much aligns with how university modules are structured) 🤣🤣🤣

Spongebobette · 07/08/2022 14:23

So funny - Bruv bigging up the takeaway that is owned by his cousin or auntie - pretending he’s just a happy customer -

with his laptop open showing he’s creating marketing materials for them (which look a bit like Scamversity graphics)

YouOKHun · 07/08/2022 14:39

“5 minutes of drivel over 5 days in what feels like 5 long years of watching paint dry” more like.

They are a pair of twats.

I suppose we’ve got to be paid up members to take a look at that “Freshers” group when (if) it happens. I suppose they’ll just shift over their paying customers students when September arrives and the numbers in the group will swell then, but whatever that number is then will be as good as it gets and student retention will be in decline from that moment, never to be replenished. I wonder who the bursar of Scamversity is? Definitely not the Castles. Mr Fierce probably.

I see the apple hasn’t fallen far from the tree, castle’s son has gotten his cousin to man his toy stall for free while he plays Fortnite. Apparently that’s ‘entrepreneurship’

BSintolerant · 07/08/2022 15:07

🤣 @YouOKHun I fear it’ll feel more like listening to paint dry.

The bursar is none other than the spirit of Charles Ponzi who communicates with Professors Fierce and Castle at the quarterly Ouija Board meetings.

spanfan · 07/08/2022 16:39

Yawn is answering her own questions again. So transparent.

She's the david Brent of MLM. 🤣🤣😭😭

DecemberGal · 07/08/2022 17:11

Why do the bots try to sell health and wellness gunk and the next minute show them eating a meal 🥘 big enough to feed a country. Specsavers has joined this scenario. The Castle clan digging in to that carvery and Yawns OTT salad. That must be why supermarkets run out of stock.Don’t forget the booze.

BSintolerant · 07/08/2022 17:16

People who talk to themselves shouldn’t fear they’re going mad: they’re probably having the most intelligent conversation they’ve had all day. Yawn is an exception to this rule.

LeoDiCapricorn · 08/08/2022 08:59

Please share the scamversity fresher page. I had a Prefect bot reach out to me to ask me about my goals / but they vanished before I could explain my desire to earn eleventy billion pounds in a week. IN A WEEK!

Spongebobette · 08/08/2022 10:05

Times have changed for the bots (not including the Professors at Scamversity who are still banging the old drum about earning squillions quickly)

look at ex BFF. In the old days (2016) she’d be sharing posts of designer handbags - now she is thrilled to get Asda vouchers so she can buy some essentials

Spongebobette · 08/08/2022 10:39

Grrrrr at Yawn using increased fuel bill worries to recruit people WHO WILL THEN LOSE MONEY AND BE EVEN WORSE OFF

It is a very cliche way to recruit, however, the reality is the opposite. It is not a recruiters dream, people will be cutting back on 'luxuries' so £50 on aloe gunk will be a long shot, even for the most botted of people.

I see a very quick decline in numbers and sales, Covid gave the corpse an artificial boost. Even with those, the annual cheque spunking ceremony was dissapointing for all bots!

YouOKHun · 06/08/2022 22:42

Ah OK @Meem321 Understood.

I never delete anything:

Ah yes, that comment was made hastily after she was called out for her previous one where she clearly implied they had bought it with the proceeds from her fab MLM. She got huge number of comments from would-be-bots desperate to sign up with her Angry Sadly, I didn't screenshot it. Always regretted that. Scammy bruv did a youtube video a couple of years later repeating the lie and I posted a comment, calling him out.

BSintolerant · 08/08/2022 21:05

Professors Castle and Fierce have excelled themselves with their first class advertising. They are offering their unparalleled contribution to the knowledge of botkind for free on their Scamversity INC page.

How could you refuse their generous, yet disturbing offer to “bust your problems WIDE OPEN with what we have up our sleeve for you”?

Some needs to tell their Commhunications Office that the words “bust”, “WIDE OPEN” and “sleeve” should never appear in the same sentence: it’s improper. It also suggests that Professors Fierce and Castle only have one sleeve to share between them: a sorry state of affairs which could lead to all sorts of mischief and discomfort. Surely they could apply for a bursary from The Ann Summers Trust so they could buy a sleeve each? 😉

An occasional visitor to this excellent thread - keep up the work huns! :)

This may be of some interest - mainly on door-to-door selling tho. (Long)

Wrt the influence of Mormon's in MLM (Forever Living, natch):

"Salt Lake is the home of modern door-to-door, in large part because it’s the home of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Bryce Roberts, a local venture capitalist, told me, “You’ve got seventy thousand kids going out every year for their two-year missions and getting trained on knocking doors, dealing with rejection, and selling a very difficult product—Jesus.” As a result, he said, the Salt Lake area has become “the Silicon Valley of direct sales and multilevel marketing”—sometimes known as pyramid schemes.
