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

She’s doing better than Yawn because she is living in a small house in the north of the same county where house prices and desirability are far lower. Her mortgage will be significantly smaller and her DP has a proper job so at least one proper income. I think the fact that she rarely posts on SM suggests that she too has a proper job. Her new house is over an hour from her previous home and not a place you would go out of your way to visit so she would be able to work and not get caught out.

Looks like yawn's constant references to 'when she was that big' - (latest Facebook post) is starting to grate on her friends too. Very well said yawn's friend 👏👏

@sugarplum Yawn’s ex BFF has a different style and doesn’t seem as aggressive and difficult to like as Yawn but her “success” is precarious and no doubt an illusion.

I get the sense that if a bit of money comes her way (not from FLP these days) it’s immediately spent on the symbols of success, for example the big shiny German car that is the same size as her house. I can imagine a scenario where that house is on the books of the partner’s [slightly shady] letting agency and she rents it from him and preserves her benefits and payments from the ex and that’s where her income is coming from (maybe she owns it?).

I suspect she doesn’t have the benefit of the level of cash from other sources that Yawn has had in the past but she’s not above implying success any way she can. I think she is from a more modest background than Yawn and is less entitled and has managed her costs better as described by @Angrymum22. I think quiet employment elsewhere could also be true. She definitely doesn’t give the sense of full time botting.

Yawn did her weight loss healthily 🤣🤣 didn't realise it was April fools day 🤣

dickiedavisthunderthighs · 03/09/2023 19:02

Ex-BFF, Uber etc also appear to have friends. Aside from her upline and minions, Yawn's got nobody.

DeliaDeetz · 03/09/2023 19:52

So Nurse has posted on her Insta stories that she's done something that she'd been putting off until it was the right time for her...
She's asking for guesses and I'm sure she'll tell us that she's had loads of them or messages asking her what it is! 😂
Don't worry though folks, she'll be telling all on her page soon!

Spongebobette · 03/09/2023 20:01

place your bets

  • clean out her fridge 10/1
  • join a gym 8/1
  • have brows and lashes done 6/1

The reason no-one remembers she was "that big" is because she used to filter all her photos as she was always "losing" weight on a C9 🤷‍♀️

SnoogyWoo · 03/09/2023 20:35

Castle is doing a live about her down sizing…

BangingOn · 03/09/2023 20:52

I didn’t realise Yawn’s exBFF had moved, I thought she was still in the town neighbouring her son’s school.

Angrymum22 · 03/09/2023 20:54

Yawn I have no respect for people who lie in order to take money from vulnerable people. You lied about your true size for years using the magic of filters.
You are now lying about how you lost the weight.
I suggest you have a long hard look in that full length mirror of yours and really, really ask yourself if it is morally and ethically right to sell products to vulnerable people when they never worked for you.
No you are not doing a good job. You are conning people at a time when they need every penny to pay their mortgage, feed the family and, with winter coming, heat their houses.
The cost of you snake oil “boxes” would pay a months fuel bills. How you can sleep at night knowing that someone may loose their home because you’ve sold them a dream that will never come true is unbelievable.
You are truly despicable, amoral narcissist.

As a memorial to her deceased canines Yawn scattered the flower seeds in the Cotswold Courtyard Garden. You might be forgiven for thinking this in the grounds of a local National Trust property but this is her name for a flowerbed on the drive between her back door and that shed that is her gym/HQ/Mr Yawn’s panic room.

You are right that Uber does still have friends from the past. I was friends with her many years ago and still in contact with one of her best friends who she tags on fb etc. I recognise others too but I wasn’t friends with them myself.

BSintolerant · 04/09/2023 09:28

When you mentioned Yawn’s deceased canines @YouOKHun I had a vision of her teeth falling out as a result of using Forever Fibbing’s toothpaste which doesn’t contain fluoride.

Yawn’s “that weight” post means she needs to do some dirty deleting.

Despite the bad news from the GP in mid October 2021 she has consistently stated her weight loss started in Jan 2022. As we know Jan-March 2022 she was tinkering with her photos and eventually deleted them. Probably after she looked here and realised that one of her “before” photos had been used earlier in a photoshopped version that also revealed a svelte skull! Jan-March 2022 she didn’t have the right aspirational content hence the tinkering, but after that it was clear she was doing well and probably surprising herself after years of what on 26 Feb this year, she called “wasted money” on yo-yo [C9] fads.

She has claimed to be anything from a size 12 to a size 16 pre 2022 (depending on the purpose of the post at the time), but for the purposes of her weight loss journey this became “size 18 and 17st”. A month or so ago she became a size 20.

Yesterday she showed a pic from what she says is her half way point in her 18 month weight loss “journey”, so September 2022. She says at this point she was size 16 and 14 stone, (perhaps she is referring to half way through her 364 days of weight loss journey with half way being June 2022? It’s very confusing!).

However in a post on 21 September 2022 she says she has dropped 5 stone and 4 dress sizes in 8 months. In a post on 21 August 2022 she states she’s lost 5 stone and 3 dress sizes and is a size 12.

It’s all very inconsistent, in September 2022 was she a size 16 or an 12? Whatever the truth of the matter there has been manipulation of her audience. I’m not interested in her dress size and good for her for losing weight if that was important to her, but why lie? I guess she needs to make it more dramatic now to retain her audience and attract new victims. As my granny used to say, what a tangled web we weave when we practice to deceive.

Thank you.👍💐💐💐

Ooowhatshappeningnow · 04/09/2023 17:21

I’ve never seen any size 20 clothes on her Vinted page or 18 for that matter.

ticktock19 · 04/09/2023 17:28

@YouOKHun that is a brilliant summary of yawns weight loss and she's tangling herself up beautifully. Perhaps we'll
have another full account shutdown / delete photos / reopen occurring soon

WilkinsonM · 04/09/2023 18:10

I was just running here to observe that yawn has retrospectively got even bigger - do we think she's photoshopped herself bigger too? I really don't remember her looking like that?
