@AceSpades54321 the Botwatch threads are a very long running series of discussions about multilevel marketing companies who act as if and appear to be product selling companies (direct selling) but really are recruitment devices hiding behind product selling, with their main activity focussed on recruitment of fresh blood who then purchase as a way of achieving progress. So these companies essentially operate as pyramid schemes.

We discuss their underhand tactics and blatant lies and the conduct of their more senior and long term distributors (uplines) and the tactics they use and the lies they tell to the people who are duped into joining. Once you start monitoring key players in MLM you realise how it corrupts some people and ruins others.

@YouOKHun thank you for the explanation! Still a bit beyond me, all very odd.

Spongebobette · 07/09/2022 21:50

If you’ve never been approached by someone in your family, or a friend, or someone at work, or an acquaintance, or someone you know vaguely on Facebook about joining their team/ an amazing business opportunity/ a side hustle then you are fortunate indeed

For those who mentioned ms sponlie recently, she assures me she will be back soon. Just taking a well deserved break! i am sure Messiah will be top of the list.
Then maybe castle and fierce if I have a word,

Norma27 · 08/09/2022 14:28

Yawn’s filters are getting worse! 🤣

The photo of her jogging with the dog was a bit more real.

Twentytwentyhindsight · 08/09/2022 15:43

If things run their course as expected at Balmoral, how long before one of the bots finds an angle to use it to promote their shite?

Ohnonevermind · 08/09/2022 16:02

Has anyone read castles and fierce new mission statement 🤣🤣🤣🤣

No, is there any where one could read this inspirational masterpiece?

Ohnonevermind · 08/09/2022 20:28

If you go to Facebook castle has posted

That's hilarious!

BSintolerant · 09/09/2022 00:20

MLM maths strikes again! Castle claims to be one million percent committed. How can that be possible? I’m only eleventy squillion gazillion divided by 6 case credits and a mini cactus. Keep up Castle!

YouOKHun · 09/09/2022 01:11

But that’s not what your T&Cs say. Your T&Cs state that you sign up as a business and normal consumer protections therefore don’t apply. Shouldn’t you be warning potential sign ups who are clearly telling you they are not a business and are an individual consumer?

That is sooòo shifty.

Spongebobette · 09/09/2022 08:46

I read that as shitty

which it also is

Angrymum22 · 09/09/2022 18:34

Just read the mission statement. What is unfiltered transparency?
Also reads like a mission statement for a modern day Robin Hood ( redistribution of wealth). I hope the mugs who have signed up realise that the only wealth that they intend to redistribute is their own into C&Fs’ bank accounts.
Creative writing isn’t Castles forte.

Angrymum22 · 09/09/2022 18:36

Just googled it. This pretty much describes Castles rambling.
”Transparency is the ability to share what you know and how you feel in a genuine and easy way. Being unfiltered means that you blurt out seemingly random thoughts without thinking of the consequences”

BSintolerant · 09/09/2022 23:11

I can’t believe someone who spouts so much nonsense used to be a police officer. I wonder what her former colleagues (i.e those she didn’t lure into MLM) make of her antics?

NormalForNuneaton · 10/09/2022 11:24

Another example of Yawn's bullshit ....earlier in the week (Wed/Thu?) she was boasting that her working week had finished, yet today and tomorrow she's got to go and deliver products to her customers.

She is so inconsistent.

Spongebobette · 10/09/2022 19:54

Which is a kind way of saying she’s a serial liar 🤣

reaz4455 · 10/09/2022 21:45

Angrymum22 · 10/09/2022 22:47

The Facebook algorithm has just come up trumps and directed me to the Scamversity Campus group (private). There are 318 members. So much for 3000 students signing up.

Angrymum22 · 10/09/2022 22:56

311 have joined this week. Maybe after a long cooling off period and a week of coaching by the stellar coaching team a large number of the original sign ups have unsubscribed. I do hope so, with the uncertainty about fuel prices over the winter £39 pm is a lot of money to listen to MLM drivel.

BSintolerant · 10/09/2022 23:09

Interesting Angrymum22. I doubt many people subscribed in the first place. Castle and Fierce are probably lying about the numbers or, as they would put it, faking it ‘til they make it.

I wonder if there’s a lecture series as part of the Scamversity modules exploring ways to fake it ‘til you make it, and what to do when this doesn’t work or you get found out for lying? Of course we all know that the answer to the latter is to blame it on bullies, trolls, jealous haters etc.
