If 311 signed up that’s still about £12k a month - not a bad return for them

Angrymum22 · 11/09/2022 07:41

After paying all the “staff”, all those multi millionaire coaches will not be providing their “knowledge “ for free, I doubt there will be enough to live the luxury life.
Fierce had a holiday last month, she travelled to Portugal, by car, not exactly a luxury destination. Spanish equivalent of a week in Wales.
I can’t see this ending well.
I wonder how many have tried to unsubscribe.

SnoogyWoo · 11/09/2022 07:53

Yeah that’s not a lot of money for those 2 with all the overheads. Definitely will not be what they were expecting.

Spongebobette · 11/09/2022 08:10

They are paying Bruv to be Director of PowerPoint or something

YouOKHun · 11/09/2022 09:09

Perhaps they are compensating the multi millionaire coaches with free access to student data? I am waiting to see how long it takes for my email address to receive a direct approach from one of them. I’m not a paid up member but I am on their list and receive an email every 24 hours or so from C&F.

given that this is the most engagement they will get it’s not sustainable is it? Going into winter with the expenses we’re all contemplating and analysing what they’ve actually got for the £39 monthly charge will mean that people decide on balance it’s not worth it. Their best chance of recruitment has already happened so I doubt they’ll add to their numbers or replenish those that leave. Their best chance of retention is to try and follow through with their unfair terms and intimidate people into staying. I give it until Christmas. I expect F has other scams income streams to turn to (not “streams” but trickles of cash) but where does Castle go from here?

@Spongebobette they must be paying Bruv to use as many typefaces and sizes as he can and to ignore any spelling mistakes and typos (if the emails I get are anything to go by). He’s surely not a trained Graphic Designer is he? He’s definitely a bit ‘comic sans’.

Has Castle formally ditched her FL business? If she has, then she really is sunk.

NormalForNuneaton · 11/09/2022 09:50

So if the private campus group has 318 members and 311 of those only signed up this week had they only had 7 sign up up until that point? No wonder Castle seemed a bit half-hearted at times trying to keep the hype going for 7 people!

The sudden appearance of 311 in a week also suggests they've "bought" them or something.

Spongebobette · 11/09/2022 09:54

I suppose all the free sessions that were offered last week might have attracted people such as Nurse who could be seen assiduously making notes in one screenshot

But then actually paying a monthly amount might be a step too far, however strongly F and are pushing the FOMO and the threat of the price going up

What permissions did they seek when you gave them your email address?

YouOKHun · 11/09/2022 10:19

when I handed over my email address to them there was no further information but their privacy policy says they won’t share your information with anyone except those who need your data to carry out their business - so that’s any scammer who is vaguely attached to them. I haven’t looked at their privacy policy for a bit but from memory it was an instruction to the victims about keeping stuff to themselves about Scamversity rather than Scamversity’s data protection obligations!

in other worrying news, Yawn appears to have lost weight in her face, changed its shape and lost her right ear in the process (time hop pic).

OP posts:
BSintolerant · 11/09/2022 10:34

Yawn has chopped off her ear? Should we now refer to her as van Yawn?

I wonder if you could get Castle and Fierce into trouble if they breach GDPR @YouOKHun ? A university of such renown would have everything covered, right?

Castle says she’s ‘retired’ from network marketing and is living off residual income streams @definitelynotabot - just like all those other MLM retirees we’ve heard of who live off their millions. 😉

SoosanCarter · 11/09/2022 10:41

That “time hop” photo is so bizarre!

Angrymum22 · 11/09/2022 10:51

The trouble with her time hop is that the face, unless you are very obese, carries weight in specific places. Manly the cheeks and the neck. The forehead carries no fat, nor does the nose or lips. The basic frame is dictated by the skull and unless she’s had some very complex maxilla facial bone restructuring then her before and after a are just not possible.
I have a very round face and even at my slimmest it doesn’t change much, perhaps becoming more heart shaped but it doesn’t and cannot narrow at eye level.
I have a special interest in faces and have an intimate knowledge of anatomy in this area being a dentist.
The she has over done the size of her eyes and over smoothed the area around her lips. With weight loss her philtrum would become more pronounced not less. Her nose is now nearly 10mm longer ( but we know that🤣) and her cheek bones have disappeared.
I haven’t seen her in RL recently but will report back if I do. I last spotted her before Covid when she wasn’t carrying too much weight. I think lockdown wasn’t good for her.
I think most of her weight loss is down to giving up alcohol which can only be a healthy choice. Like some have said before she obviously had a real problem. I do hope she manages to maintain her weight.
I would certainly have more respect for her if she was honest about her weight loss method.

Twentytwentyhindsight · 11/09/2022 10:54

Lopping off parts of your anatomy is one method of weight loss. Not sure how sustainable it is though.

definitelynotabot · 11/09/2022 17:40

Those photos are so weird. Obviously photoshopped. Nobody says anything though.

Spongebobette · 11/09/2022 17:43

Mostly because she gets v little interaction

Twentytwentyhindsight · 11/09/2022 18:04

@definitelynotabot The video version of the time hop on Yawn's Insta stories is even weirder.
I expect no one comments because there is nothing truthful you could say that wouldn't result in an instant block followed by indignant howls about 'bullying/trolling'.
It is a really bizarre situation, a bit like 'the Emperor's new clothes', where it is plain for everyone to see that it's utterly fake, but no one feels they can say anything...

Spongebobette · 11/09/2022 19:47

If your followers are mostly fake too it’s a weird echo chamber

Spongebobette · 11/09/2022 19:49

Castle’s ex BFF went to a family fun day at HQ today but I can’t see any official mention of it

quite a long drive for her. Wonder if it was worth it

Twentytwentyhindsight · 11/09/2022 19:54

Ex BFF seems to be suggesting it was a 'team' event rather than a FL-wide event. Still her tone and what we are shown of it hardly scream "the most amazing day"...

Spongebobette · 11/09/2022 20:05

There was a v brief glimpse of a bouncy castle and. He mentioned a bbq but I’d expect her to share a lot more photos

Twentytwentyhindsight · 12/09/2022 15:17

Apparently, Scamversity is a 'recognised educational institution' with o er 1,300 students 🤣🤣🤣
Next they'll be telling us they've got a royal charter and joined the Russell Group!

Twentytwentyhindsight · 12/09/2022 15:22

And, in a move that smacks of absolute desperation, they have decided to hold the doors open for new recruits for another 48 hours because of 'demand'...

Meem321 · 12/09/2022 19:20

Just come across 'Flamingo Paperie'.
Is this another Usborne/phoenix trading type shite?
