It looks very much like Insta has taken them down doesnt it @Spongebobette ? Do you think that’s temporary? Let’s hope they take a close look at the individual Insta accounts of the people involved in Scamversity.

Nowt screams High quality business more than a closed down Insta

YouOKHun · 27/07/2022 22:13

Yep, it’s such a professional set up. I had a look at Castle’s Insta and one of her followers said something like “the link to your scamversity Insta isn’t working” and I checked back just now and that perfectly innocent comment has been deleted so they are really keen for no attention to be drawn to that! No “don’t worry Hun, it’s just some essential maintenance”, probably because it won’t be back or will be shut down long enough for the victims to start to doubt, so they’d rather no one mentioned it.

Honestly, Magdalen College never has its Insta taken down and they don’t even offer a proper education for £39 a month (that’s just the start of it) completely without a contract should you wish to cancel (T&Cs apply)

But they are still on FB? Are the rules different?

Spongebobette · 28/07/2022 07:34

I see on FB the work university doesn’t appear in the title or description
but the videos which declare it to be ‘a new breed of online university’ are on the page and I have reported those as a scam

Talking of things that just scream "professional", has anyone noticed that PhD never types "money" properly? There is always a random symbol or accent in there. Almost like she knows she will get banned otherwise. How do her followers look at that and not realise how dodgy it is...

NormalForNuneaton · 28/07/2022 10:09

Another "professional" element of PhD's posts are the liberal use of the word "fuck".

I'm not against swearing by any means but, on a business post?!

Cash, wealth, investing and Money are all words she edits prior to posting.

It is like there is a very heavily regulated industrial and legal body that oversees people giving advice on investing or something.

Messing with the DSA compared to the CFR (Oz FCA) is like messing with a mouse and a Lion.

If an unregulated body is perceived to be giving ILLEGAL investment advice, then fines and prison sentances are common place.

Watch out PHD, swimming with the big boys now.

Ohnonevermind · 28/07/2022 13:44

Castle complaining about sleep, after her parents taking her kids for 5 days.

She should think of all the other parents who don’t have their parents living in the garden and who can’t farm out their kids every week and STFU.
I’m guessing her parents will swoop in and take the kids because they obviously don’t need sleep 🙄

YouOKHun · 28/07/2022 14:27

Is Phd still in Aus? I don’t really keep up with her latest. There was a recent article in the Guardian about the problem of “influencers” giving financial advice www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2022/mar/21/unlicensed-instagram-and-tiktok-influencers-offering-financial-advice-could-face-jail-time-asic-warns

Still there, and still walking the line, not very well, of financial advice.
Telling her 'girls' how they don't need to select the correct shares if they invest a a portfolio.
Clearly, she knows her alpha, beta, sharpe ratio, risk, divi yield ratings and risks for the funds she recommends.
I bet she also has her run off PI in place for any future claims that may arise due to her potentially incorrect advice...

Twentytwentyhindsight · 28/07/2022 21:07

Quite apart from the fact that whenever she actually talks numbers, PhD makes it absolutely clear to all but the most obtuse of observers that she has not the faintest clue.
She is now saying that if you'd invested £100 a month over 30 years (a total of £36k), that would now be bringing in '6 figures in passive income'!
What fucking planet does any idiot that doesn't see through her live on?
Oh, and even the word 'figures' is distorted with a weird symbol. Methinks she had her fingers rapped previously on dispensing unregulated financial advice and thinks she can somehow beat the 'algorithms' doing this. What a prick.

terrywynne · 28/07/2022 23:31

"Just" £100 a month for 36 years is also a sign of another (ex) bot who is able to swan around thanks to the safety net of a privileged background whilst trying to make out that they can help anyone get rich...

fitgirl26 · 29/07/2022 10:21

Saw this, thought of Yawn.

Maybe PHD should check her Math.
6 Figure resdiual income @5% income would require a pot of circa £2m, even then it would not be sustainable.
So over 10 years, one would only need to save £16k per month.
I am not going to go into silly little details such as income and divi tax, as that would just be silly.

I am signing up to her mI[] o ney course soon, as my I-&nvestments are clealry underperforming.

NormalForNuneaton · 30/07/2022 17:12

You can always tell when Yawn feels that she's not getting enough adoration, she churns out a dog post portraying herself as some sort of saint.

YouOKHun · 30/07/2022 18:00

Those of us in her group are being told to show ourselves as she doesn’t like lurkers. Waves to Yawn who is no doubt lurking on this thread from time to time.

There has been a definite increase in FLP posts in Yawn’s group though from outside the group it doesn’t look like it’s all about Aloe (to the casual observer). I’m watching to see how long it takes her to stray into giving advice she’s not qualified to give to people who, if she was qualified, she’d recognise as well beyond her remit.

She is getting easy engagement (quick “likes”) but I’m wondering if it goes much beyond that. Not sure it’s translating into recruits. No doubt people don’t have the money right now to speculate on a new “career” or an expensive and largely pointless fad diet.

PieonaBarm · 30/07/2022 18:05

@YouOKHun she's already giving advice she's not qualified to, post today about what foods to avoid for acid indigestion

PieonaBarm · 30/07/2022 18:05

Just had a lovely 5 minutes reporting all Sleazes posts on Facebook.

Spongebobette · 30/07/2022 18:06

No doubt she’ll be spamming peoples’ inboxes with offers to send them a short video about the business opportunity

Angrymum22 · 30/07/2022 23:10

Yawn was until recently (self confessed) useless in the kitchen. Big turn around, now she appears to be Worcestershire’s very own Nigella. Although to be fare most of her meals appear to be salad with boiled eggs.
She has also just started one of the FL box treatments. You’d probably get more benefit from eating the box.
Loving the exercise routines, my physio would be having kittens if she saw the exercises she is recommending for back pain. Mr Yawn probably needs them after spending hours up a stepladder.

BSintolerant · 31/07/2022 00:59

Do any of Yawn’s alleged exercise routines involve dancing on a hob? She could ask Bruv to show her some moves.

DecemberGal · 31/07/2022 12:50

Wonder when Yawns new group member numbers will reach a plateau and die just like others she has had. The same with castles new venture. I take it very little interest in Ubers holiday abode.
Not checked recently but are the other MLMs still plodding on?

HairyMcLarie · 31/07/2022 13:47

New roomie has reorganised her office.
Is that... a fake $10k cheque she's printed herself?!

I bet she spent ages "playing offices" and rearranging her pencils and FL tat.

Wonder if the "stock" on show is actually empty boxes and bottles of the stuff she bought and used herself, or stuff she's bought to reach qualifying criteria?

At a guess the cheque is a blank one bots get given to fill in and put on their goal board because, of course, if it's on the board then it's going to happen 🙄

Spongebobette · 31/07/2022 14:43

That ‘office’ is tragic
