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.

Ah, I see.

Twentytwentyhindsight · 04/11/2022 15:06

Unless they warn the scammers 'about' what they are doing?

fromdownwest · 04/11/2022 15:15

A warning from the FCA is in essence a cease and desist, a shot across the bows.

'We have noted that you MAY be providining unauthorised financial advice, we strongly advise that you cease'

The warning is the first stage, then if one continues, it progresses to an actual case being created. With the full power of the law behind them, same level of access to your bank accounts and social media that any government body has. Then they start to look at bringing a crimical case to court.

Thank you

well well well. Another big Directors loan

Those loans... they are all at it, aren't they.

If he has suddenly disappeared then that is very sus. He has been country manager here since well, forever. A retirement would surely be accompanied by a huge fanfare?

Spongebobette · 04/11/2022 17:56

he might not even have been an employee …

Spongebobette · 04/11/2022 17:57

But if he was ‘managing’ FL UK he probably hadn’t met his KPIs!

YouOKHun · 05/11/2022 01:38

I’m afraid Mr FLPUK is back on FB saying he had tech issues with FB but he’s now back and wants to hear all those fictional stories of success! Perhaps he tried to leave the sinking ship but realised that his own sizeable directors loan means he has got to loiter within tent a little longer (or have they taken the tent down now?).

Spongebobette · 05/11/2022 08:46

How odd, I still can’t find him and when I click on his name on one of Uber’s posts it takes me to an account called Nic Andxxx (the xs are his name)

NormalForNuneaton · 05/11/2022 08:58

I still cant find him.

If I google his name and Forever Living and then click on the link to his fb it gives me a "link may be broken/page may have been removed" message

BSintolerant · 05/11/2022 09:13

Tech issues with FB? My arse! I wonder if he was put in FB prison? I can’t find him either.

NormalForNuneaton · 05/11/2022 10:45

Can you temporarily withdraw your own fb page?

Just wondering if he's had comments from Haterzzz and is waiting for the dust to settle?

BSintolerant · 05/11/2022 10:50

Yes, you can deactivate it.

NormalForNuneaton · 05/11/2022 12:14

Castle has "decided something huge this morning! Huge huge" which she'll announce on a live soon.

Surely she's not bored of Spain already 🤣

Spongebobette · 05/11/2022 12:45

I see her parents have joined her. Wonder who is looking after the dog/ air bnb

spanfan · 05/11/2022 16:11

The feather thing from castle is driving me crazy. It's clear her grief is still understandably raw but a feather at the beach is not unusual.

Seek and ye shall find, surely. 🤣

Twentytwentyhindsight · 05/11/2022 16:12

In shock news, seagulls are found to inhabit coastal areas in Spain!

YouOKHun · 05/11/2022 16:13

I’m usually the one who can’t see what everyone else can see on SM so I’m surprised I can see Mr FLPUK!

His new page is in his diminutive first name and surname and says under his name “fan page” 🙄. It doesn’t have any link to FLP in the title but is still very much about FLP. He has 108 cult followers/fans so far. He’s big on blocking people so perhaps he’s kicked off his new page by looking for all you botwatchers and blocking you?! He made sure I was blocked on Twitter and prevented from reading his drivel and I was immediately blocked from the FLP U.K. account too. All I said was “you’re a pyramid scheme hiding behind some shite products”.

It’s still an indication of something even though he’s reappeared. He’s in charge of a company in major decline without much hope of resurrection so something must be afoot and he must want to exit before it goes completely tits up. He’s one to watch.

Spongebobette · 05/11/2022 16:16

If you go to Forever Ireland Events &Updates they’ve put a link

Spongebobette · 05/11/2022 16:19

in his video there’s an unfortunate (Freudian?) emphasis
‘if you HAVE any success stories, send them to me’

Twentytwentyhindsight · 05/11/2022 16:21

Forever Ireland have posted a link to his new FB page.
"Xxx’s New FB Page

Head over to Xxx’s new Facebook page and give it follow!

This new fan page for Xxx Xxxxxx is the perfect way to keep updated on everything Forever. Get access to exclusive content directly from the UK, Ireland and Iceland Country Manager and keep an eye out for our seasonal giveaways, with one coming your way very soon!"

Definitely Summat going on, I can't think of any reason he'd have suspended his other pages with no notice and advertised nis new one in such a roundabout way.

Spongebobette · 05/11/2022 16:23

Did you think he looked a lot less bouncy and confident than usual in that video?

plus why is he standing outside rather than filming in his lovely posh executive office with hot and cold running minions?

Twentytwentyhindsight · 05/11/2022 16:24

Not sure, it all looks sus to me...

Twentytwentyhindsight · 05/11/2022 16:25

Very apt that he appears to be back from a trip to Dracula's castle.

YouOKHun · 05/11/2022 17:49

@Twentytwentyhindsight Dracula’s castle 🤣😂

yes @Spongebobette I thought he looked less bouncy, less confident and possibly less well. It must be tricky to keep up that rah rah positivity. Perhaps if you can’t keep up that “everything’s great!” persona it’s vital you hide away for a bit lest the bots detect some sort of shitstorm ahead. Also tough to be positive if he’s conducting business sitting on the gravel outside Aloe HQ.

Spongebobette · 05/11/2022 18:22

Yeah - strong ‘they won’t let me in the building’ vibe
