If the S*n has tweeted the advertorial, that may be a way to throw a spanner in the works and put their readers straight about the mumbelievable realities of joining Forever Living.

YouOKHun · 17/03/2023 19:57

I see Yawn has put up a lengthy post about Mr Yawn definitely being gainfully employed in her empire. Picture of him sitting behind a desk just for clarity. Perhaps she’s been reading this thread and seen the various comments that he’s probably had to get a J.O.B.

I can’t find that BFF advertorial anywhere and can’t see a link on Forever Scamming’s social media.

@YouOKHun - go on to Mr Flp's 'fan' page - he's shared the link

BSintolerant · 17/03/2023 20:01

If you go on that newspaper’s website and search “Forever Living” all will be revealed @YouOKHun

BSintolerant · 17/03/2023 20:32

Talented Ladies has published this very interesting article about the Sun promoting Forever Living:

If you read her post carefully though it doesn't actually say that he hasn't got a J.O.B. at the moment just that "now he has the money & time freedom to follow his passions, to do what he wants, when he wants & with who he wants"

Sounds like a job with a regular wage, paid holiday and flexi-time to me 😆

NormalForNuneaton · 17/03/2023 20:45

Also, it sounds like the bot commenting on the post is getting some opposition from her DH who is questioning her involvement with FL (and lack of income)

YouOKHun · 17/03/2023 21:22

Thanks everyone, I have found that crap “article”. It is possible to comment on the article on the newspaper’s Facebook page. I tweeted the journalist and the paper but because the journo very sensibly has protected tweet it’s mean my tweet doesn’t show. Lots of good points from Talented Ladies Club whose tweets do show!

good point @NormalForNuneaton Yawn doesn’t say he hasn’t got a job and the need to drive the point home that he “has time freedom etc” makes me more inclined than ever to believe we’ve hit the nail on the head.

YouOKHun · 17/03/2023 21:27

Castle’s full podcast is out. Bagsy not me that has to listen to it but interested to hear edited highlights from whichever brave soul can sit through the self promotional drivel.

Sugarplum48 · 18/03/2023 17:51

Couldn't stay quiet on this...wtaf us the daily bun tabloid playing at??? Absolutely no research done on that flp bot. People have commented in saying how dangerous it is. Beyond disturbing to print such bollox

WisteriaLodge · 19/03/2023 13:33

Ooh, so Welsh bot is selling the barn at £1.3 million...

Spongebobette · 19/03/2023 15:02

I think it sold a while back and they bought something for half that amount - seriously downsizing to release capital and pay off debt

No, it's still listed for sale with all their belongings in the pictures

WisteriaLodge · 19/03/2023 15:04

It was only added to the market at the beginning of March...

Spongebobette · 19/03/2023 16:18

Well! She claimed it had been sold to a ‘very lovely’ family a few months ago… must have fallen through then!

NormalForNuneaton · 19/03/2023 16:45

Looking at the property she's selling, it appears to have an annex . Who was living in that bit or were they renting it out quietly.

Are they still buying the caravan park place I wonder?

BSintolerant · 19/03/2023 16:46

You never know @Spongebobette - perhaps the conveyancer was thinking outside the box. 😉

WisteriaLodge · 19/03/2023 17:51

The annex was for her mum

RogueApostrophe · 19/03/2023 18:59

Former BFF is holding a cheque on her FB page that says "These earnings are not typical. Less than 1% of FBOs will earn the Chairman's Bonus". It's not even written that small. Anyone that sees that and thinks "Oooh, I have less than 1% chance of making $14,000" is well and truly brainwashed!

Spongebobette · 19/03/2023 19:14

Depends on them actually reading the small print

sigh

Ohnonevermind · 20/03/2023 15:11

Castle saying

‘start an Etsy business with zero investment needed’ as one of her recommended two zero investment side business

She is an idiot.

Selling PDF downloadables she tells us.

Of what? Traits of a narcissist? Whacky online scare video ideas?

YouOKHun · 20/03/2023 18:40

Castle is tragic. She’s clutching at straws. She still seems to be travelling towards the bottom and I am not sure how much lower things can go for her. She surely must be panicking now?. Her content is wafer thin and her specific “business” content getting very low engagement and becoming more and more fused with her posts about her “private” life.

The link to Scamversity is present but there isn’t much mention of it so I’m sure it’s going to slowly cease to be mentioned at all. She can’t sustain this much longer can she? I can’t believe anyone will be handing over £39 a month for much longer. What then for Castle? There’s still the issue of MyEmptyDiary Ltd too.

She will never starve as Mum and Dad will pick up the tab but how do we think she’s going to style this out? I can’t see a way forward for her unless she signs up with another MLM (which will never have the traction of a few years ago).

NormalForNuneaton · 20/03/2023 19:49

So Castle's ex-BFF, star of the advertorial in The Sun is having a rant about her fuel bills and the fact she spends her days wearing a coat and hat indoors, freezing cold because the bill is unaffordable.

Surely with her £80k a year and her DH's police salary she can afford to put the heating on every now and again

YouOKHun · 20/03/2023 21:54

Well @NormalForNuneaton if she earns £80k she should be able to turn up the heating but if she turns over £80k she might need to keep her coat on. In that Sun article she claimed in one sentence to earn £80k and at another point in the article to turn over £80k which suggests she ain’t no business woman! £80k is a similar amount to the outstanding loan MyPlan2Fail Ltd has hanging around its neck isn’t it? Perhaps she will have to deal with that before she turns up the heating?
