MLM Bot Watch 77: MLMs are scams, you will lose money and paying £97 for an ‘official’ certificate won’t change that

[Spongebobette]

we continue to call out the bullshit peddled by MLMs and the scam artists on the fringes who making money from coaching and pretend certificates

@Lemieux3 you probably know better than any of us what she’s like! She certainly doesn’t seem popular in her local area. The day her FLP activities crash and burn there won’t be many people shedding a tear. I often wonder if she has any genuine long term friends who aren’t FLP bots. There is no private SM where all her family and friends feature I am sure. There is no hinterland at all. Most of the other bots have others in their lives with walk on parts on their SM but not Yawn. It’s perhaps the most telling thing about her personality.

Yep, me thinks Ozempic rather than the Clean 9, lets face it she reset her eating habits hundreds of times with that programe and not lost any weight and then suddenly a huge weight loss? Yeah it's Ozempic alright, fine, her choice and nothing wrong with that at all, but don't make out the weight loss is purely down to Clean 9..

Yes unfortunately I think you are right. I also know the woman who got her into FLP all those years ago and they were good friends but they aren't any more!

She can seem quite charming and self-deprecating and has a way of disarming those she meets the first time. But in reality she's shallow.

I used to go to the same gym as her. Within a few short weeks, all the gym instructors were buying her C9 crap or whatever it is! The mind boggles.

Wow interesting accounts - t/o £106 million in 2016, £19 ,million 2022.
Surely not a sustainable business if it continues to stagnate?

The woman who got Yawn into FLP has a lot to answer for!

in the new document on Companies House it’s interesting that they state that they are under threat from legislation regarding false health claims. They say their compliance department is “working with “independent” business owners”to try and get them to stop making untrue claims. They don’t mention the endless fiction FLP pumps out about the business opportunity, which is far more damaging to people. It would be nice if they had cause to worry about their income claims.

Of course they don’t plan to change the pressure they place on the hapless bots that leads to the bots having to make those claims in the first place.

I think they have mentioned similar in previous accounts.

Surely for a legit business that shouldn't be a threat!

The untrue claims have always been part and parcel of the business. I used to hear all sorts, it really made me wince.

The accounts don't paint a picture of a thriving enterprise, do they!

Yesterday Yawn described herself as a "weight loss guru" and claims she's kept her weight off and not yo-yo'd this time.

I lost 5 stone years ago. Due to Covid trying to kill me I put a stone on which I'm now loosing.

Come back to me in 23 years Yawn, and tell me you've kept it off and not yo-yo'd. I might be impressed then.

Yawn has clearly lied about FL products and her weightloss. Shes done so many C9s over the years with bugger all difference and then, boom, suddenly the weight drops off remarkably quickly.

With Ozempic etc what happens longer term? Presumably you can't take it forever so what happens when you stop?

@NormalForNuneaton

Ozempic can be used longterm since it is a medicine used in type 2 diabetes. It is not without serious side effects ( although rare). But you can develop muscle loss and loss of bone density. It’s a very new medication so there is no longterm data. Studies have shown that weight gain happens when you stop taking it, often patients gain more weight than they have lost. Because it doesn’t address the underlying reason why people overeat you may be unable to stop taking it.
I think in Yawns case it will depend how long her GP is happy to prescribe it. Now she has lost weight there is no clinical need. Or if she is buying it how long she can afford it. It is not cheap.

I’m going to start counting just how many times a day Yawn mentions her weight loss. I wonder if when she introduces herself she drops it in “ Hi my name is Yawn, have I told you that I’ve lost 6st”. I can imagine her wandering round her local city centre targeting overweight people and handing them a flyer for her fat group.
Our local pub is the new place to be seen if you are anyone or anybody locally. I’m waiting for her to post photos there. It is full of people she aspires to be like, wealthy.

I see castle is on the move

Castle is complaining about her foundation not lasting as long but she’s applied it so thickly she has a large crease on her chin in her latest live.

Short term lets in that part of the World become very expensive at this time of year.

The poor youngest castle.

weird Willy has had a brainwave - to offer his ‘programme’ as an app

only a decade or so behind the curve….

Why does Castle bother with foundation when she’s already spending a fortune on apps which filter out every blemish and wrinkle?

Speaking of apps, I suspect that many ex-bots like Weird Willy always seem to be fighting the last war because MLM knocks creativity and original thought out of them. It’s a monkey-see monkey-do business: they’re all brainwashed.That’s why they’re turning programmes into apps, creating diaries made of paper, offering training modules on drop-shipping, and reinventing the MLM official certification (with a magic stamp, crayons and glitter) wheel. It’s only a matter of time before Wig and Sleaze try to persuade their followers that Spanish flu was caused by listening to the wireless, and gramophone needles transmitted subliminal messages to women to raise their hemlines - an act of defiance which caused World War I (which obviously didn’t happen because it was all a hoax). 😉

Does 2Jags really think it's a good idea to broadcast the fact her police man DH (can't remember his rank) had lost his warrant card for days and it turned up in their sons school bag!

He just seems to go along with all her SM stories and posts, ignorant of the fact that she's disclosing all sorts about their lives, for anyone to see.

Just had a check of scamversity’s accreditation list and so far it looks like they have had zero engagement from bots across MLM. I suspect that FL have probably been threatened with excommunication if they buy anything off Castle.
I do think that she was pushed and didn’t leave of her own free will.

@Angrymum22

How many experts have scamversity rolled out now

Great piece laying out the facts about Forever Living’s decline

Yawn proclaims that her new dog is so good it walks at your side. Yawns new dog proceeds to wander off past her in front 😂

I've watched it a few times on walks she shows and it looks like it prefers Mr Yawn to her, especially when she showed some recall training and it would do it for him but not her. They say animals are good judges of character!!

Yawn seems to always only have Facebook posts that are less than a year old. That makes it so obvious it's a scam because where are all those people she signed up 18 months ago?

And does she still have the same FLP bff?

That’s right, all the ‘pocket rockets’ and bots she has meetings with ‘to put big plans in place’ disappear without a trace
