Did you not get a hi pie on a barn 🤣

Haha. If only that was my Insta name I'd have hung around just for it!!

@fromdownwest on JL’s website? I didn’t see that and can’t find the reference to those companies but I’m sure the link is tenuous at best. I can’t see those companies being mentioned.

As for the NHS, there are clear rules “NHS” is a protected term and the logo is also protected in law. As a supplier of services to the NHS there are specific rules. I hope she has read them. https://www.england.nhs.uk/nhsidentity/identity-guidelines/who-cannot-use-the-nhs-identity/#:~:text=The%20letters%20'NHS'%20and%20the,without%20permission%20is%20similarly%20prohibited.

Yawns posted a pic where she's superimposed text onto the laptop screen. Even for her the photoshopping stretching is on another level. It's like Stretch Neckstrong (see what I did there 🤣) is in the house!

Half way down her landing page

'Bot has worked with....' then a list of companies

YouOKHun · 06/06/2023 13:17

Thanks @fromdownwest! The NHS says that if she has supplied a service to the NHS then she has to describe it and not use the logo. I know she hasn’t used a great big blue logo but she is implying a relationship which probably wouldn’t stand up if she was to follow the guidance and give a specific description of what “working with” the NHS actually means. Probably sold some unsuspecting NHS staff member a load of Aloe at some point!

I particularly liked her line, “What drew me in [to NWM] was the opportunity to start a risk free business and the freedom to work independently”. She has a short memory.

Salon makes me laugh (cry).

“People buy shop brought vitamins but question clinically proven products & judge those that passionately share what they found, love, use & recommend”

  1. is bought not brought (unless you’re bringing your vitamins along to the shop)
  2. ”shop bought vitamins” are likely to have to be exactly what they say on the tin and make no cure claims before they are allowed on the shelves in a pharmacy or even in a supermarket. They are likely to be a fraction of the MLM price too.
  3. yes we do question Modere’s “clinically proven” claims and your downlines who are using and recommending Modere products are doing so because they’re desperately trying to flog all the stuff you’ve strong armed them into purchasing. This does not indicate it’s worth the rest of us wasting money on it.

Salon reminds me of my granny turning her nose up at “shop bought” cakes only to wheel out her own home cooked cake with the texture and density of a house brick. “Shop bought” is sometimes preferable.

It’s comforting to know that this serial scammer is now part of Scamversity isn’t it?

BSintolerant · 07/06/2023 18:14

Did your mum’s low-slung dogs eat your granny’s house bricks? 😉

I pity students of Scamiversity having to sit through lectures by Professor Salon and their learned friends.

YouOKHun · 07/06/2023 19:22

@BSintolerant Bassetts are quite picky eaters. You’re thinking of Labradors!

Salon is just one rogue in the Scamversity gallery of Ambassadors or whatever they’re calling themselves. There are some other awful ones aren’t there? I see Castle is suggesting victims students add the Scamversity certificates to their CV! Imagine looking to recruit someone into a legitimate job and a certificate in accredited Hunning being presented as a serious mark of quality and employability. I don’t think Castle is up to date on the requirements if legitimate employment. Why would she be having spent years in her twilight world.

definitelynotabot · 07/06/2023 23:17

CV?....Why would you need a CV if you're a Bossbabe who has "sacked the boss" and has a lifestyle business?

Twentytwentyhindsight · 07/06/2023 23:20

If any of those deluded fools do one day see the light and apply for a job, I hope to God that they don't list it on their CV (or present it as a qualification at an interview).

SoosanCarter · 08/06/2023 08:14

Yawn is a different shape in photos which are taken by others. And she’s not a size 8.

Howsimplywonderful · 08/06/2023 08:43

I see Ubers house is going on the market.

Spongebobette · 08/06/2023 09:25

Interesting
due to divorce?

Uber also has a new director in her forever accounts

Howsimplywonderful · 08/06/2023 10:50

Ignore my director comment
, it was an old company

Sugarplum48 · 08/06/2023 16:26

Yawn is definitely not a size 8. She's a big fat liar. The level of deception from her is simply stunning. The photo shopping is on another level now.

dickiedavisthunderthighs · 08/06/2023 16:42

I saw re the house on Uber's story but it really was 'blink and you'd miss it'. She married a builder, and if there wasn't a pre-nup then she's on the hook for a serious amount of money. I'm not sure if her husband ever officially adopted the youngest but if he didn't then child maintenance is out of the window as well.

Is the youngest not soon to be ex-Uber's child?

Spongebobette · 08/06/2023 18:06

NOT a great time to be selling a house

and her sister bought the adjoining one didn’t she? Is she selling too?

I’m sure the youngest child is soon to be ex’s. They were together a while before they married. All wedding pics have gone but I do remember the wedding in September 2019. It must have gone wrong pretty swiftly.

Uber has been uncharacteristically (for a bot) savvy about a pension so I guess that’s up for grabs too (if no pre nup). Soon to be Ex is obviously a talented builder and clearly worked like a dog on the seaside home as well as the one soon to be sold but if he’s anything like any of the small builders I know then he’s not got much pension etc. It has to be expensive for her even though it was a short term marriage.

Do they take into account the total time together during which time he may have contributed a lot to the value of the house etc, not just the time married @dickiedavisthunderthighs? I don’t know how it works.

No, the youngest isn't soon to be ex's child.

Uber had a (very brief IIRC) relationship with a guy, got pregnant by him and they split up during her pregnancy.

From what she's said/shown on her social media I don't think he has anything to do with his daughter.

The relationship with the builder was made official on her social media when the baby was very young so no idea how long she had been seeing him before that.

YouOKHun · 08/06/2023 21:29

@NormalForNuneaton thanks for the clarification. I don’t follow Uber that closely so missed the episode you describe. It sounds as if her domestic life is rather complicated.

Not a great time to be having to sell a house @Spongebobette I agree, and even worse to be selling two as a family so perhaps her sister will stay put.

Wintersgirl · 08/06/2023 22:16

Is Yawn claiming to be a size 8 now?

BSintolerant · 08/06/2023 23:02

Size 8 … makes a change from lying about six-figures.

SoosanCarter · 09/06/2023 09:05

The post where she goes on about borrowing her daughter’s clothes.
In the photos taken by others, wearing the white skirt, she looks a normal shape, more like a 12.
