MLM Bot Watch 73 A thread about desperate bots desperately botting

1000 replies

MarchXX · 18/09/2022 06:57

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 wonder are they wondering about her ‘discipline’ leads to success recording, as she is completely lacking in it and surely they’ve all realised it by now

Twentytwentyhindsight · 05/10/2022 10:40

She'll be talking about the importance of hard work, humility and self-abnegation next Grin

Imagine the gall, to take £30 from hundreads of people, to 'study' at 'university'.

Then first month of 'term' to swan off on a jolly, eating suhshi and spending money like water. Occasionally dropping in a vacuous black and white off the shelf motivational video.

Surely, people will not carry on with those payments for long.

She’s trolling them - posting videos about consistency and discipline

That is what i thought, she has to be?
To be that tone deaf and un aware takes something else.

Imagine she has been trolling us the whole time?!

NormalForNuneaton · 05/10/2022 17:02

So how is Castle's husband managing to drive her around whilst she shops 'til she drops when he's just had knee surgery and is wearing a leg brace?

She's not one to let anything get in the way of her and shiny new things is she?

YouOKHun · 05/10/2022 18:07

Yawn has put up a post about her mortgage going up £200 a month and how it’s easily covered. She then describes her recruitment strategy to cover the extra bill.

  1. it’s still an income claim, you’re not allowed to do that Yawn, even if it’s implied and even if it’s on your own page on FB.
  2. it sounds like a pyramid scheme to me; nothing about selling aloe vera, all about a chain of recruitment.
  3. I thought she was mortgage free and living a million pound life”style”
  4. her victims have mortgages too; getting involved with her is likely to be the final nail in the coffin for them. How does she sleep at night?

Poor Mr castle being dragged around ikea to buy a rug - essential stuff 🤣

She’s claimed many times to be debt free and a 6 figure earner
so isn’t a mortgage debt?
and 200 quid a month is nothing if you are earning so much

Spongebobette · 05/10/2022 18:43

I wonder if Scamversity’s students realise that all the new purchases in Castle’s car were paid for by them

Ohnonevermind · 05/10/2022 22:08

And the hire car

Angrymum22 · 05/10/2022 23:13

Slightly in awe of Yawn, her mortgage must be pretty huge for a 0.5% increase last month to add £200 a month. Unless in her usual airhead fashion she has misread the notification and it is actually per year. Alternatively she has come off a fixed rate mortgage and was unable to apply for a new fix rate. Or god forbid they have remortgaged to release equity that has accrued since house prices have shot up. That’s a very dangerous move in the current climate with a potential crash coming in the property market on the horizon.

YouOKHun · 06/10/2022 00:35

@Angrymum22 yes I wonder what’s going on there. Whatever it is it doesn’t really fit the debt free millionaire lifestyle that she claims she has does it?!

Yawn’s got some hefty expenses coming up aside from the mortgage which may chip into that lifestyle further. My knowkedge of owning a thatched property comes from a good friend of mine. Her insurance is sky high because of the fire vulnerability. The insurance company inspects the thatch every five years and won’t insure a roof in the apparent state of Yawn’s thatch. The insurance doesn’t permit a wood burner (Yawn has one). Her insurance is £4k a year with the roof in good condition. There is no change out of £25k for a new thatch. Yawn must be at risk of not getting insurance unless she shells out for a new thatch soon. I wonder how she will style that one out? A midnight flit a la Castle?

Spongebobette · 06/10/2022 11:53

Yawn’s back on the recruit recruit recruit treadmill

thetemptationofchocolate · 06/10/2022 12:41

I'm not surprised the insurers won't permit a woodburner. My neighbour's woodburner set fire to their chimney and sparks were cascading up out of the top of the chimney. It's a tiled roof so it didn't catch on fire, but if it had been thatched the house would have probably gone.
We also have a woodburner, but our chinmey is lined so less likely to catch on fire. We also get the sweep in every year so it's kept free of soot build up. I wonder if Yawn ever gets the chimney cleaned?

dickiedavisthunderthighs · 06/10/2022 14:06

They're all galluping close to the 31st December deadline to qualify for the Chairman's Bonus/Global Rally. I think Yawn qualified for the trip but at the basic level, and looking at BFF's feed from last year she's not qualified at all yet which has got to be a first at this time of the year, they're usually buttoned up by summer. I imagine there are a few squeaky bums in FLUK right now.

fromdownwest · 06/10/2022 14:37

I imagine most bots would not want to qualify! Then they won't have to fund their 'free' trip!

Spongebobette · 06/10/2022 14:47

Ah no wonder Yawn had a massive sale!

NormalForNuneaton · 06/10/2022 17:25

Lol at "I imagine there are a few squeaky bums in FLUK right now" 😂

Yawn's BFF must definitely be one of them as she doesn't generally post much but she's just put up an Insta story that smacks of desperation to recruit

Spongebobette · 06/10/2022 19:55

Goodness me yes.

NERVOUS HANDS

Ohnonevermind · 06/10/2022 21:12

With castles downline affected who would that impact ?

Twentytwentyhindsight · 06/10/2022 21:21

One would have thought that that the immediate beneficiary of Castle quitting would have been her direct upline, Rarebot, who stood to inherit her downlines.

Now, Rarebot seemed to have very much rowed back on her botting activities (concentrating instead on 'coaching and counselling'), but it was telling that she turned up at the success day before last weekend's, immediately after Castle announced her 'retirement', her first appearance at an FLP event since she dropped out of CB contention.

However, she doesn't appear to have kept up that renewed enthusiasm, suggesting that Castle left fuck all to inherit.

BSintolerant · 07/10/2022 00:53

Why would Castle quit when she could retire and live off all that residual income from her Forever Fibbing downline?

vivdiz · 07/10/2022 08:32

I remember a school mum reaching out to me out of the blue asking for a play date. I remember thinking here we go, I'm her next potential.

She tried to lure me with saying how much she earned a month. I think it was like £10
-15,000.

However it must be true to some extent as she has bought a massive house etc and has clawed herself out of debt.

I remember her telling me lies that were easily found out as our children are friends. All that time freedom crap, while her DC is crying about mum always being in the phone even on holidays.

Ohnonevermind · 07/10/2022 09:09

Looking at castles new live, that pool set up is so dangerous for young children. Pool down steps hidden behind a hedge.
