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.

Oh dear. Nurse in the scamversity review said she's 'made amazing friends'. She alienated most of her real ones with her FL nonsense and previously said that Yawn was her new best friend and her son called her Auntie.
Poor woman is just desperate to be accepted and create a nice future for her kid. She's been at this at this since the kid was only just 1 as her goal board said she wanted to take him to Thomas world overnight which was £500. She never managed that and the kid is going to school.

That’s what I hate about FLM, vulnerable people being sucked into these cults

Castle gives ‘shout outs’ to these people to make them feel wanted and important on her lives

stockpilingallthecheese · 16/10/2022 18:16

Nurse seems to have set up a couple of new pages/groups. One is about manifesting your life and has a whopping 27 members so that's going well Confused

Spongebobette · 16/10/2022 18:42

Including her mum and herself presumably
plus a few bot watchers

so not many real people

Spongebobette · 16/10/2022 18:43

And I bet Scamversity students are all ‘supporting’ each other’s ‘businesses’ so I bet a lot of them are fellow students

and…. How is she going to monetise this?

stockpilingallthecheese · 16/10/2022 20:34

Well yes. What a load of crap. I lost all sympathy for her ages ago, just think she's an idiot who is too lazy to concentrate on her actual job

Same here, I ran out of sympathy for Nurse a long time ago, I saw posts where she's said there is a link between Breast cancer and deodorant, but guess what? Buy her FL deodorant and you can avoid all that nastiness. As a Nurse she should know better, she would have said anything to climb the greasy pole in FL.

Spongebobette · 16/10/2022 22:06

There’s a wilful blindness there. People tried to warn her about FL but she blocked them
It should be clear to her now that the warnings were right but she can’t admit it

PieonaBarm · 16/10/2022 22:11

These new groups she's done I'd put money on that they're scamversity homework

Spongebobette · 16/10/2022 22:18

Oh yes good point
think of an idea and start a FB group!!!

then she feels she’s taking action and achieving something 🙄

Twentytwentyhindsight · 17/10/2022 13:42

Looking at Castle's Insta from this morning, it would appear that the latest 'homework' from Scamversity was to get up at six o'clock and go for a walk. Fairly standard MLM brainwashing fare, get the bots to do something that is utterly pointless in terms of their 'biznis', but makes them feel they're busy and keeps them too tired to see through the BS.
Almost spat my tea out at Castle talking about the importance of getting into good habits...

Spongebobette · 17/10/2022 14:32

Ah yes that’s an old trick

NormalForNuneaton · 17/10/2022 14:39

Do you think she's totally oblivious to the reality of what she's like when she says things like this?
Surely she must have some self-awareness seeing as everything is all about her?

BSintolerant · 17/10/2022 16:10

Good habits?! These fools must be drowning in cognitive dissonance.

PieonaBarm · 17/10/2022 17:02

Yawns admitted to being 17 stone in January and a size 18. She's done well to be fair to her loosing a considerable amount of weight, but she's done it in a far from healthy way. She even goes so far as to describe the aloe shakes as "health shakes" in her weight loss group.

I lost a similar amount but in a healthier way, (I was 16 stone and a size 22, so I suspect she might have been a bigger size in clothes) and have kept the majority of it off for 23 years, but I would not dream of giving anyone any nutrition advice like she does as I'm not qualified to do so. Be interesting to see if she manages to maintain the loss.

BSintolerant · 17/10/2022 16:10

She is a total clown, 1 day and its a habit. She will be wallowing in a sea of self pity in a week, and the 6 am walks will be cast aside with her other fads.

How she does not see that she applies nothing that she preaches is beyond me.

Twentytwentyhindsight · 17/10/2022 17:34

@fromdownwest - I believe giving it a week is a vast overestimate of Castle's sticking power.
It may well be the case that one day of a 'habit' is a bit much for Castle if that habit might involve the slightest discomfort.
I may have a suspicious mind, but I note that the only evidence she provided was a selfie of herself standing on the side of a road in the dark, which could have been taken anywhere/time. The audio live she's linked to (and which is on the Scamversity Insta) also sounds very strangely echo-y for someone claiming to be walking in an open space. Odd also that she hasn't just done one of her usual video lives...

BSintolerant · 17/10/2022 19:29

Castle obviously doesn’t want to brainwash herself @Twentytwentyhindsight . Let’s face it: it wouldn’t take much washing.

Twentytwentyhindsight · 17/10/2022 20:01

I think a gentle puff of air would get it in showroom condition.

BSintolerant · 17/10/2022 20:19

🤣🤣

HairyMcLarie · 18/10/2022 09:51

Gained access to Nurses private group. It's about manifesting stuff. She started it due to her scamversity teachings clearly given the date it kicked off.

She shares pithy memes 'life is like a hairbrush, if you are too harsh with it it will hurt, but if you are gentle you will look pretty' (that was made up byswim), stuff about vibrations and tries to gain interaction by asking questions about favourite books and movies. She has almost no interaction from her massive 21 members and i have no idea and indeed dread to think how she's going to monetise this

I saw that post! Since when was she size 18 and 17 stone? She never admitted that when she was bigger and looking at her before pictures I don't believe it. I think she's inflated her previous weight to big up her loss (which is impressive without doing that!)
the before pic was clearly either taken to be as unflattering as possible or photoshopped to make her face look bigger!!

I think quite a few of her group members are lurkers actually so in reality she is speaking to a tiny number of potential ‘customers’

stockpilingallthecheese · 18/10/2022 13:02

I know she edits her photos but I do think yawn has done really well with her weight loss, she looks great! And also has really nice hair Grin

Dizzy6700 · 18/10/2022 14:34

Anyone else watching the exit of one of the top Valentus bots? She was pals with Salon, until Salon left. She is the one who bought a 250k mini villa in Spain (and made out it was a luxury mansion - it was miles away from everywhere on a dusty hillside). She eventually had to come back. She tried renting it out but never got much luck. Now the bottom is clearly falling out of the Valentus pyramid, so she has announced "new beginnings". Turns out to be IM Academy hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaaaa I literally cannot stop laughing. This is about to get really bad for her and her fella (who is a complete and utter k**b). Her upline (the from Preston to Dubai girl) posted a video about people jumping ship, poaching and grass not being greener. I'm so darn happy to see this fall apart - the departure of this girl will heavily impact the Dubai girl. They done that horrible promo video together too, so I bet that will get deleted as they are no longer pals.

Also the ex nuskin blue diamond girl is in a bad situation. After years of MLM hopping she is now splitting from her DH... I actually feel bad for her re the split, and have no doubt that her MLM addiction has played into it; weather they both acknowledge it or not. The financial pressure of buying products every 3 weeks (oriflame), preying to the universe, manifesting, chucking stones into magical bogs, never contributing to family finances and using the family resources (earned by DH actual job) to pay for personal volume will have chipped away at their relationship. Shockingly sad to see beautiful families torn apart by predatory MLM commercial cults.
