MLM Bot Watch 73 A thread about desperate bots desperately botting

1000 replies

Saw previous thread was full, so started this one Grin! Thread 73, who would have thought Shock. So much has changed over the years of these MLM threads but it is interesting that some stalwarts are still going, many thousands of victims in their wakes.

The MLM industry is counting the cost of a more awakened population who can now see through this scam industry, although there are still the serial bots who believe they fail because they 'didn't try hard enough' rather than understanding that the business model set them up to fail, and join countless MLMs in a desperate attempt to find success Sad.

I’m guessing castles mum will be organising her sis’s memorial while taking castles kids and doing castles grunt work as castle will be too busy packing
Her university students will just have to suck it up too and watch episodes of the U.K. office to see Castle style CEO management style at work
what matters is castle for the first time is putting herself first 🤣

castle will need time to get her hair and nails done so mum will have to take the grandkids and forget about the hairdressers herself. Mr castle can’t be expected to look after his own children, has he given notice for his secret job yet

Thanks @MarchXX .

The MLM threads are the most fascinating on MN. They have opened up a world of fraudsters and swindlers practising levels of deceit, lies, subterfuge and coercion which I would not have expected to be legal in first world countries.

This is low level organised crime which moves amongst us constantly searching for new vulnerable victims. We’ve all come across them, most of us dismiss their approaches as we can do the basic maths and see a bonkers business model that can’t possibly work except as a money channel to the top dogs.

Most disturbingly, this is a global disease. It is endemic among poorer populations, desperate to cling on to any hope of a path out of poverty.

The perpetrators should hang their heads in shame.

I take my hat off to the regular contributors who are compiling full and accurate submissions to the appropriate authorities in the UK. It would be good to see those authorities finally start taking action during the lifetime of Thread 73.

Aha here you all are!

BSintolerant · 18/09/2022 11:32

Thank you for the thread MarchXX - can’t believe we’re up to number 73!

Creating two ‘bases’ moving country, sorting out all the logistics etc

The quality of output for scamveristy will not be impacted for sure, business as usual!

Ohnonevermind · 18/09/2022 13:57

we mustn’t forget her Roving Base ie the camper van.

I’d say by second base she means parking her camper van in her parents garden at their new place.

Sunsea21 · 18/09/2022 14:18

So is the “lodge” that her parents live in the one that she got for a holiday camp or does she also have another one?

Ohnonevermind · 18/09/2022 14:26

She sold the lodge she owned, they wanted to travel in the motor home instead.

Her parents mobile home / lodge is one they bought themselves

spanfan · 18/09/2022 15:45

I am stunned that she actually thinks that what she is doing is "for her boys"

Classic narcissistic behaviour with no real thought beyond what she wants. Castlehubby just looks weak and seems to leave her to it.

Those boys are gonna need some therapy when older. The constant moving, two bases... I mean how is that going to work for their education. How is she going to keep school places?? How are they ever going to build friendships?

Don't get me wrong. I understand people take their families off to travel but they will have plans to keep their kids learning from the experiences. What is she going to do with her boys? Lots of trips to the envelop them in Spanish culture and communities?? I think not.

she will shove them into the kids club at the gym? Or get granny over to babysit for her.... but of course it's ALL FOR THEM.....

fromdownwest · 18/09/2022 16:11

We all know, as soon as the boys establish a friendship group, she will need a new shiny toy to show off and will move again.

She shows every single narcissist trait known to man.

Twentytwentyhindsight · 18/09/2022 17:00

PhD regrets spending so much money on coaching and mentoring when she was a 'biznis woman' and wishes she had used her money more wisely.
She doesn't want you to make the same mistake, so she will show you how not to if you enrol on her half price course (hurry Huns. only one place left!).

fromdownwest · 18/09/2022 17:07

Which appears to be financial advice, when not authorised to do so.

messing with the big boys now Phd. DSA V FCA - a totally different animal!

Ohnonevermind · 18/09/2022 17:44

I see castle is giving air bnb tips - perhaps how to dance on a hob safely ?

are they going to move in their camper van to Spain.

Spongebobette · 18/09/2022 18:08

I have so many questions about this. Where are they putting all their personal stuff? Is every bedroom going to be available or are they stuffing everything personal in one room? Which means they aren’t going to use the house at all for themselves? Who is cleaning and doing the changeovers? There might be a changeover every week. Are they allowing guests to have the heating on at 26 degrees the whole time? Are they expecting to make enough money from air bnb to pay the rent in Malaga? What if occupancy rates are low ..she’s trying to turn her social media followers into renters but is it the right audience, surely they are wanting to make extra money not spend it?

Spongebobette · 18/09/2022 19:28

Also why is she making it immaculate while they are still living there? The second the children are allowed back in they’ll muck it up

Spongebobette · 18/09/2022 19:29

And most importantly

why do I even care?

SnoogyWoo · 18/09/2022 19:38

We should rent Castles home for a weekend MLM Bot Watch meet up!

Spongebobette · 18/09/2022 19:48

🤣 and dance on her hob

fromdownwest · 18/09/2022 20:09

Spongebobette · 18/09/2022 19:48

🤣 and dance on her hob

Be interesting to see her stance when it’s her property!

Spongebobette · 18/09/2022 20:23

Oh she’s letting out her parents’ home too.
Poor them.

Ohnonevermind · 18/09/2022 20:29

Where are her parents supposed to go, what about all her mementos of her dead daughter and the garden she’s lovingly grown in her memory, and her other grandkids, i feel so sorry for her mum and dad

Ohnonevermind · 18/09/2022 20:30

Her mum hasn’t mentioned it on her SM, she must be ‘too excited’ 🙄

SnoogyWoo · 18/09/2022 20:37

They must be fucked if she’s renting the lot out.

fromdownwest · 18/09/2022 22:25

That is what I thought, poor woman was so proud of her memorial garden.

Ohnonevermind · 19/09/2022 08:45

They’re even renting out the house and mobile home out for Christmas, so castles mum can’t come home to see her family and other grandkids.
