We’ll if Bruv was the brains behind the Pepsi and Shirley branding of scamversity and the laughable photoshopping of castles face and double chin, he’s clearly not much of an expert

stockpilingallthecheese · 02/12/2022 09:58

Look at the most recent reviews on the scamversity fb page Grin

PieonaBarm · 02/12/2022 10:05

Clearly they don't check the reviews as there's a few spam posts on there!

In other news Yawn has lost one of her dogs to cancer. Can't stand the woman but I do sympathise after loosing my boy in August, I miss him like crazy.

Can someone pm me and let me know who YAWN and SLEAZE are please? Feel like I’m missing out on the goss 🤣

Me too! 😂

Spongebobette · 02/12/2022 10:37

He thinks he’s got a lovely new warm market with all those Scamversity students who have already proved they’ll part with money for help with their ‘business’ and so are likely to be persuadable to pay him too
i wonder if he’ll offer to cast a glance at your social media strategy for a monthly fee

@passmethemalbec and @PicturesOfDogs

Sleaze’s first name: first syllable of the surname of the founder of Methodism

Second name: archaic noun for a granary

You’ll know you’ve got the right man because if you search for him on Facebook his name is followed by the word “scam” in the search options. 🤣

Yawn: first name is that of a female Saint associated with St Francis of Assisi.

Surname: same as the hapless character in “Some mother’s do ‘ave ‘em” whose catchphrase was “Oooh, Betty!”

That’s a religiously inspired set of clues.

Speaking of religion, how is Messiah doing?

“Who is Messiah?” you ask yourself? 😉

Clue: first name sounds exactly like “keys” but is spelt the same way as the name of an Oxbridge college.

The second name rhymes with one of the biblical plagues of Egypt (neither frogs, nor “all manner of flies” but both would be interesting) associated with inclement weather, sometimes followed by “stones.”

YouOKHun · 02/12/2022 18:53

Feckin Hell @BSintolerant those clues are so obscure even I’m not sure who Sleaze and Messiah are anymore 🤣. You haven’t got a part time job at GCHQ have you?!

Someone shared a screenshot on the Ban the Scam page (or could have been on Ms S’s page) of Messiah looking very much a shadow of his former puffed up self. I know I look darenged/ill on Zoom myself but he looked pretty dreadful and very much how you might look if you were worried you might be about to lose your freedom on account of swindling lots of people. His new venture seems to be a bit of a damp squib with all the usual uplines having suddenly gone very very quiet about their “best month ever”.

BSintolerant · 02/12/2022 19:58

🤣@YouOKHun Unfortunately I don’t have the pleasure of working at Legoland part time, but when I make eleventy squillion bitcoins (and a bag of carrots) I’ll be able to reduce my hours and eventually sack the bot! 😉

I doubt Messiah, Yawn, and Sleaze know who they are anymore either. That photo of Messiah makes him look like he’s sent out invitations to the last supper. Sleaze’s keffiyeh makes him look like he’s forgotten where he parked his camel (perhaps that’s why he was seen in with a bag of carrots in North Wales not so long ago), and the photo of Yawn rocking her brown “leather” joggers makes her look like she’s done a wet fart in a space suit.

I see Yawn has resorted to selling her upcycled tat. Times must be hard. I wonder if she’s lined its drawers with Forever Living Literature?

PieonaBarm · 02/12/2022 20:02

@BSintolerant you'd think Yawn would at least have emptied all the shit out the bottom of that cupboard before trying to save herself a tip run in the Rangey and photographing if!

BSintolerant · 02/12/2022 20:16

Do you think that wooden carving in the bottom drawer is related to black magic @PieonaBarm ? I wouldn’t want to buy a piece of furniture that’s possessed.

PieonaBarm · 02/12/2022 21:01

@BSintolerant god only knows, but she'll either nail it to a spare bit of wall she's found or chuck it on Vinted so we'll probably find out soon enough!

BSintolerant · 02/12/2022 21:08

I can picture it now: an evil looking effigy adorned with Frenchic paint (a brighter shade of vomit-pink) and a smattering of gold leaf … 😈

Ohnonevermind · 02/12/2022 21:11

its interesting to she how much interaction her dog post (very sad) got (nearly 500 likes) compared to her normal very low level of engagement (under 50)

BSintolerant · 02/12/2022 21:17

I love dogs; you know where you are with dogs. I’m not over-fond of MLM scammers who con vulnerable women.

NormalForNuneaton · 02/12/2022 21:38

"Feckin Hell @BSintolerant those clues are so obscure even I’m not sure who Sleaze and Messiah are anymore 🤣. You haven’t got a part time job at GCHQ have you?!"

@YouOKHun that made me properly snort with laughter 🤣🤣

MrsDorrington · 03/12/2022 08:38

Finally able to add Messiah to my comedy watch list, thanks @BSintolerant .

Ohnonevermind · 03/12/2022 09:30

I can’t see anything from messiah, he’s locked down his SM - what a shame

fromdownwest · 03/12/2022 16:00

The tragic hanger on perma child’s latest Insta post. Maybe should listen to sis - just be nice.

’ugly naked guy next door, wouldn’t be so bad if he was hot’

Great brand promotion- such a horrible little thing he is.

stockpilingallthecheese · 03/12/2022 20:44

That's very sad about Yawn's dog - that wasn't the one I was expecting as didn't one of her oldies have an op recently? Very sad.

Beetlekiwi · 04/12/2022 18:57

Castle is gushing about her bestie (who I can’t say she’s ever mentioned up until now) wonder how Mr Castle feels?

Tupperwarelid · 04/12/2022 19:06

Oh I remember him. He was a golden boy when he first started with FL. Went out to Sweden for the rally when he had only been a biz niz owner for a couple of months, no idea why! Think he was also part of the hob dancing crew. I wondered where he had gone.

PieonaBarm · 04/12/2022 19:44

Broke's new GF is commenting on Sleaze's post, and a quick click through has her announcing she will soon be moving in with her husband to be...

Such a strange woman - who feesl the need to wax lyrical about someone on the internet? She has not mentioned him since lockdown, and now they are inseperable besties.

Twentytwentyhindsight · 05/12/2022 09:48

@fromdownwest - I expect he is being bigged up prior to being introduced as the next Scamversity professor of something or other.

Spongebobette · 05/12/2022 20:08

Yawn is having ‘a month off’

so I expect her to be very quiet on social media until January
