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

Is Uber dating again? (Insta stories).

Sorry, I must have missed it but who is the person sitting in the shower eating a McDonalds?

Yawn in one of her “before” photos. It is either on her fb story or her latest tictoc.

TribeD · 10/09/2023 13:43

I've reported Yawn to tik tok again...

"Coaching women to make a fuck ton of money"

But be honest - you're in debt up to your eyeballs. It must be absolutely exhausting living your life on social media, desperately grasping at anyone who shoes the slightest interest.

SnoogyWoo · 10/09/2023 14:37

What is it with Yawns new potty mouth on social media. Nothing would turn me off if I was looking to start a business.

The Arbonne mum who sold me the shit protein powder is at 'Arbonne Fest' this weekend (she's the 'headliner') as is someone else I'm loosely friends with that I didn't know was involved. She's posted about 50 stories of "motivational women", an after party (there's hundreds of them) and an absolute outpouring of love for all 'my women'....it's VERY cultish.

Great quote from castle, although I think turning 360 degrees would leave you pointing in the same direction that you started in!

Sounds like my Virgin Vie days. I was a total fish out of water at every event I went to - the total adoration for the uplines, and managers was very definitely cultish.

Be prepared as she will be "totally fired up" for Christmas, and will be relentless. She'll have seen gorgeous products and her social media will be full waffle for the free stuff she's had from "my amazing company "

fromdownwest · 10/09/2023 19:22

Good lord Castle really is thick as mince.

yawn now showing her recipes with 15% off this amazing protein, message her to get the code.

said FL protein is riddled with sugar and is terrible quality in comparison

Spongebobette · 10/09/2023 20:02

Hmm that’s advertising an MLM - is it on TikTok?

OP posts:
Angrymum22 · 10/09/2023 20:56

Yawn is now selling FL protein powder. This contravenes Tictoc rules which don’t allow recruitment or selling of MLM products. There are much cheaper, better protein powders widely available. The problem is the stupid buggers buy into the whole “ use the product I did cos it really works, just look how much weight I list using this special product”.

Spongebobette · 10/09/2023 21:15

I’ve reported her TikToks that are stealth advertising

OP posts:
YouOKHun · 11/09/2023 09:37

I wish I wasn’t blocked as she really needs reporting by lots of people. The whole FLP U.K. presence shouldn’t be on Tiktok.

Spongebobette · 11/09/2023 10:38

She’s trying to disguise what her real intentions are but is sneaking in some product placement

OP posts:
Spongebobette · 11/09/2023 12:18

She’s sneakily saying things like ‘when I’d lost 2 and a half stone after my cleanse’
then people ask about the cleanse and she DMs them

OP posts:
fromdownwest · 11/09/2023 12:41

If enough people report, then it will get looked at.

The whole thing is nothign other than a secret sales pitch of her 'Detox' and her FL Protein.

fromdownwest · 11/09/2023 13:15

Castle - £300 a month for your inane warbling is even pushing it by your own standards. If anyone pays that, they need their heads read.

fitgirl26 · 11/09/2023 13:21

I actually dreamt last night that I was living with the Yawns and driving around in the white Rangey.
I woke up with an upset stomach - must have been all the aloe 😳

BSintolerant · 11/09/2023 13:38

Who was driving?

Spongebobette · 11/09/2023 14:26

Nurse is spending Mondays on her social media content for the week
which hardly anyone will see and she won’t get any clients that way

PS she’s licking the q tips again 🤢

Angrymum22 · 11/09/2023 15:22

The problem with Yawns recruitment drive is that all her FL group photos are with ladies, who though all perfectly happy are now large in comparison to her. Which brings in to question how effective the FL products are for weight loss. How do they work for Yawn but are not helping her downline. I know that they may not be actively trying to lose weight but it does look a little suspicious.
She has also started with the toxic stuff again which suggests that not all tictoc commenters are being friendly or polite.
Tictoc is quite a harsh platform, but then most social media is. I suspect that Yawn has filtered out a lot of toxicity from Insta and FB, but as tictoc is a much younger platform and the “youf “ are very critical of so called boomers and X’ers, her apparent middle class picture box lifestyle is likely to get a poor reception.
Despite “millions “ of followers there is little real engagement.

YouOKHun · 11/09/2023 15:28

@BSintolerant Mr Yawn was driving of course. I expect @fitgirl26 will have seen the AA can following close behind. It sounds like the worst kind of nightmare.
