BOTWATCH 78 - the latest in a long series of threads where we keep an eagle eye on the lies and deceptions practised by MLMs. Unbelievably people are still being hooked in by these schemes where 97% of those who join LOSE MONEY and the top bots are struggling to pretend they are taking it in

Even worse. TicTocs about weight loss.
Tic Toc is the very last place I would go to for weight loss. So much opportunity for the use of filters.
It really is the best place to watch narcissists make utter tw**s of themselves. And that includes you Yawn. But please go ahead since it is a great source of material for this thread.
My DS’s cricket & rugby teams have done some great TicTocs but sport is a particularly rich source of blooper style videos. And they intend to make absolute tits of themselves.

I have reported Yawns post for undisclosed product placement which breaks the rules. She has all her FL products in the background.
I so want to comment but my account is too identifying.

Nurse is offering 20% off one of her therapies…
she’s made a TikTok about it but hasn’t bothered putting anything on her actual business pages about it

Yawn’s liberal and superfluous use of the f word is not attractive. She likes to use it, I’ve noticed, and I suspect she probably uses it a lot more off camera.

Thank you

Yawn's weightloss posts are really boring now, she goes on and on about it, anyone would think she was the only person in the whole world to have lost weight..

Sugarplum48 · 26/08/2023 09:54

Tictok has been my midlife crisis guilty pleasure and YAWN has now ruined it... nothing is safe from her bloody ramblings. Its beyond boring listening to her now

BSintolerant · 26/08/2023 10:14

I thought TikTok had banned all things MLM, or is Yawn being sneaky with product placement?

HouseofHolbein · 26/08/2023 10:21

Castle has just said she loves a routine 🤣🤣

DeliaDeetz · 26/08/2023 10:59

Looks like Uber and Yawns exbff were at the Tiktok training too so that's another social media platform for them to look for new victims recruits!

Can imagine the cringe factor of the bots tiktok output 😖

On another note I realised I hadn't looked at Yawn's BFF's fab for ages. She's clearly landed on her feet ....looking at new cars at the Porsche garage, son has a shiny new/nearly new car having passed his test .....Yawn must be seething as she drives around in her tired old rangey whilst looking for a cheap runaround for her DD.

(I realise ex BFF money is not from FL but must be from either her new partner or a divorce settlement but she's got the tools to suggest the aspirational lifestyle)

Angrymum22 · 26/08/2023 12:25

Yawn’s exbff lives in a shoe box in a pretty undesirable area. If you look carefully she crops her photos tightly when taking shots at home.
We refer locally to people from this town as “town” trailer trash. It really isn’t an aspirational place to live. I suspect it was the low house price she was attracted by.
There are so many lovely, desirable places to live within a couple of miles of her, but obviously not as cheap.
The last place I would park a Porsche is on her doorstep. There are some areas in the town that are pleasant but not where she is living.

Angrymum22 · 26/08/2023 12:33

Also leasing luxury cars is second nature to MLM bots. It’s easy to advertise your leased car for sale on sm. it’s just another smoke and mirrors devise to suggest wealth.
if anyone contacts you you can claim it’s sold. It’s also far more likely that her DS’s dad bought his new car. He is the same age as my DS and I came across him on a number of occasions through rugby. His dad is very much involved with him and I think he lives with his dad ( close to school) and spends the odd weekend with exbff. I haven’t checked but he would have just completed his Alevels.

YouOKHun · 26/08/2023 12:36

Remind me, is Yawn’s ex BFF the one with the sports scholarship DS? If it is her the new partner looks shady. I suspect they have a spend spend spend attitude to a brief cash injection. I’m going with a divorce settlement or him doing some property deals cash in hand. Whatever it is it won’t last long.

I’m wondering which FLP long termer will be the next to fall (by the Companies House or Insolvency register measure)? It’s all very well buying (or leasing) a (Category S/clocked/stolen, recovered/100k plus mileage) flash car but how are these people actually going to keep their heads above water if the people who normally prop up their FLP activities are also feeling the effects of the cost of living?

YouOKHun · 26/08/2023 12:45

I’ve had my memory jogged by posts just above and see I do have the right one. Her accounts aren’t looking too healthy.

DeliaDeetz · 26/08/2023 13:46

@NormalForNuneaton it will be full on cringe! According to Uber her kids are excited to see her on another platform....
I'm quite glad I'm not on Tiktok although I'm sure it'll all get shared to FB/Insta anyway.

Spongebobette · 26/08/2023 15:04

Gosh why does Yawn feel the need to use the f word like that?
fied it think it makes her cool and edgy?

OP posts:
YouOKHun · 26/08/2023 15:28

@Spongebobette Yawn and Mr Yawn have decided that they must “get down with the kidz” and be “cool” and swearing is cool and will speak to the yoof. Judging by the distance her own teens seem to give her I’m not sure her new TikTok persona will work. @SoosanCarter I am sure you’re right about Yawn’s language off camera. I get the sense of an aggressive, short tempered woman who has polished the hard corners off her Lives.

ticktock19 · 26/08/2023 16:00

Is it the big cheese / Alex James festival where FL have bought themselves in this weekend? Can't wait to see the forced smiles on them all

dickiedavisthunderthighs · 26/08/2023 16:35

The TikTok demographic, who are very much into body positivity, aren't going to give a shit about a 42 year old woman telling them about her weight loss. I can see it backfiring spectacularly.

Spongebobette · 26/08/2023 16:54

You are right about the body positivity - it’s going to come across as sad and dated
