MLM Bot Watch 74: The latest thread about desperate bots desperately botting

[Spongebobette]

New Fred

I heard that The Body Shop at Home is closing in America.

Anyone else think Yawn will come up with a reason for Mr Yawn and the kids not to go to Bali with her?

Last year she took one of her star minions (who has since then had to get a Real Job!)

I do hope we get a Roomie 2.0!

Imagine how stressful it would be, having to part fund the trip to Bali, and portray a trip of luxury when in reality you do not have 2 pennies to rub together!

I wonder what ex Specsaver now estate agent bot had to spend on that trip
I’m sure ‘all inclusive’ doesn’t cover everything

Someone posted on her Bali picture that they were glad she'd be 'travelling in style' as they'd done the trip in economy and it was awful. I can't see it now, clearly it's been deleted, and not by the poster...

I drive past a house in a nearby village every day and noticed today it is being rethatched….
to be honest it looked in pretty good nick beforehand so I was surprised to see the roof being replaced

You can take a cash alternative if you qualify but don’t go to the Global Rally
just saying

It’s still there.

Didn't yawn say on one of her insta posts a while back she was being rewarded with a all expenses paid trip then posted days later she was looking for a hotel to stay in??

She says she's taking mr yawn and the kids and they're turning it into a holiday. Let's see how this one unfolds.....

Hmmmm ..... wonder if there will be a sudden, last minute "I'm gutted, we can't go to Bali as <insert some tenuous reason here>" excuse ?

Why do bots call listening to someone tell the same old story about how they were broke and then found FL training!

Yawn is “helping a new group of women this year to achieve their goals, kick starting with either a 4 day, a 9 day, a 15 day or 28 day program. With full support, guidance, food & exercise plans”.

I suppose she will be telling them to use FLP products “like she did”. Who is she to give this sort of guidance? Exercise plans? Nutrition/food advice? Totally unqualified and potentially risky. Is she insured? She thinks that anything online in a private group is somehow exempt from any rules or responsibilities.

So a little inside into Yawn. As someone who has known her for over 2o+ years!! She had and has always had a very indulgence life style at the cost of her parents and husband. Her entire existence has been based on looks at the ongoing financial expenses of her family. Imagine having to keep footing that bill. It hey!! As long as the dream is apparently real!! It's not! It's fake. Its all fake. She's always been fake.

@YouOKHun how do we go about getting Yawn shut down?? The "advice" she spouts is dangerous and misleading at best. Facebook and Instagram do nothing when reported. But would FL act??

A newer minion recently posted on Insta about losing “just shy of a stone in four days” on the FLP DX4 box of tricks.

Ex BFF, her upline, repeated the puff, but removed it from her own Insta very quickly. Made me wonder if the golden girls at the top are being warned by HO about making ridiculous health claims. HO have then covered their arses in the event of any tragic, headline-making outcomes further down the line.

FLP do not give a shit @Sugarplum48 . They’ve spent years and years giving free rein to their bots to conduct themselves however they want to extract money from their down lines. The only possible course of action might be the ASA as she’s advertising a service without being clear that she is pushing a product and recruiting. She’s also giving quasi medical advice which is a no.

The ADvertising Standards Authority has focussed on what is going on online and has recently upheld a complaint against FM World (who of course blamed one errant bot). As for SM reporting, it takes mass reports of a whole profile again and again but even then it’s a slim chance.

The trouble is that MLM falls between the cracks when it comes to policing scams. To the uninformed/uninterested (government agencies such as the Competitions and Markets Authority) promoting a pyramid scheme is an offence but though they say in their small print that a PS can have a product or service and still be a PS their information sheet/summary doesn’t say that. So even if a potential sign up did get as far as reading it they would think FLP was something different from a PS.

You could report her to the CMA’s Action Fraud but even though they are well aware of the problem with MLM it’s unlikely to go anywhere as they are only interested in things like “gifting circles”. Yet MLM like FLP have probably caused far more financial damage and heartache. Top down legislation is what we need to kill off the likes of FLP and the Yawns of this world. And the reason that hasn’t happened IMO is that that the victims are largely women and no one who could change the law really gives a shit 😡.

Law of reaction .....

I am NOT a PT/nutritionist or instructor etc

👋Morning Yawn, getting a bit worried about what we were pointing out on this thread were you?

Talk about back tracking on the BS. ITS DISGRACEFUL. Yawn and her yawn hubby with the many teeth (it can't be just me who has noticed Mr Yawn is blessed in the many molar area) how they sleep at night is beyond me.

Finally caught up after a break from the bots and it seems things haven't changed at all, Especially concerning the main bots.
Some are truly toxic people, that I wouldn't trust a pet ant with let alone my hard earned cash!
Yawn is still as vile as ever - and if the rumours I've heard around the FLP ladies are true, then there's a far uglier side to her that few can imagine

If Yawn claims that she isn’t a PT nutritionist or instructor etc, why is she holding herself out as all of the above? Disingenuous little madam, she is!

@Sugarplum48 the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) has a user-friendly website for reporting people whose online antics fall well below what is acceptable within their remit. When it comes to MLM they won’t necessarily go after a specific bot, but if you were to report a specific bot, like Yawn, and her association with Forever Living, with links to her SM and offending screenshots where she may have made false medical claims about C9s having an effect on the toxins which surround your fat cells the ASA will investigate such claims and report them to the MLM in question. MLMs don’t like being in the ASA’s sights. The more reports, the merrier. 😉

Well I've got a bit of free time tomorrow so I'll use it wisely @BSintolerant

If Yawn claims that she isn’t a PT nutritionist or instructor etc, why is she holding herself out as all of the above

I don’t know about you @BSintolerant but I think she thinks that if she utters some sort of disclaimer then that is enough to cover her arse when she then goes on to do exactly as she likes. She doesn’t understand that if she says “use this C9 to lose weight/do this exercise routine and by the way, I am not qualified in any way”, that if that person then gets admitted with an eating disorder made worse by FLP shite (or some other health crisis), or is damaged in some other way by following her advice, it won’t matter if she has “been honest” about her lack of qualifications, it will only matter that she’s given dangerous, inappropriate and unqualified advice.

I hope Mr Yawn is saving his wages from the job he must have needed to get, to help Yawn with her legal costs.
