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

@Angrymum22 I’m sure you are right about the negative pushback she is getting on TikTok. She’s used to preaching to the converted on FB. I asked one polite but awkward question and was blocked straightaway on TikTok, so I expect she’s have to sit there deleting a lot of comments if even mine falls into the haterz and trolls category. I really hope her profile is getting reported multiple times.

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.

On TikTok is just her face filling the screen dispensing words of wisdom (which contain nothing that the audience doesn’t already know)
plus before and after photos (and I think she’s doctored some of the before photos to make herself look bigger)
the TikTok generation will find her very boomerish

Who was driving?

I was! And Yawn was getting cross with me 🤣

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

I know, it's vile and skanky...I would NOT ever want to go in to business (I use the term loosely) with someone who swears like that in their SM channels, it sounds so unprofessional.

Wintersgirl · 11/09/2023 16:05

Tictoc is quite a harsh platform

Yeah it's brutal as Yawn is discovering. They're not all gullible fools like Nurse and Specsaver bot who suck up to her something rotten...

BSintolerant · 11/09/2023 16:48

I had a funny feeling you’d say you were driving @fitgirl26 . If you’re into dream interpretation that could mean that Yawn is not in control of her life - she’s being driven around the bend by Bot Watchers!

Wintersgirl · 11/09/2023 17:50

Anyone seen Yawn's cat? He's not been around for ages....

It looks like Fierce has created a bee themed prison on the driveway of (probably) her parents home where she will be coaching people over 24 hours in a series of “Strategy Sleepovers” in December. You’d need to be asleep to fall for her scammy ways given the amount of negative reports online. I wonder if she is back in the UK or whether this is timed for the next time she needs to get out of Spain or so she can have the baby in UK.

She’s more together as a scammer than the woeful Castle but she’s just as full of shit with her income claims.

YouOKHun · 11/09/2023 22:54

Here is the list of benefits a friend of mine has in a job she’s just started (reproduced with her permission!), with a salary of £57k. Her job is as a MHN prescriber though she hasn’t been doing the job as long as Nurse was doing her’s (mind you, no massive year long sick leave either). It’s a tough job no doubt about it but it is well paid.

It just shows how hard of thinking Nurse is (or bone idle) in making the decision to drop off the nursing register to pursue something that is already dead in the water (going by the complete lack of engagement). She must be relying on her family having very deep pockets.

Fucking hell Yawn, hang your grifting head in shame. She's CLEARLY got that beauty treatment comped on the strength of her TikTok following - that she bought. That is absolutely disgusting.

Sugarplum48 · 12/09/2023 14:53

@dickiedavisthunderthighs bet she regrets the awful lip tattoos now. Ex BFF told her to go get that done. She's horrible.

So Yawn has bagged a free facial on the premise that all her paid bots, sorry followers will go to the salon? Oh dear

Lostmyway86 · 12/09/2023 20:54

I'm starting to feel sorry for Nurse (is that allowed?)...her stories are so dreary and dull and depressing. I can't get through them...I last about 5 seconds and I just can't bear it. At least Yawn's are mildly amusing (although I'm gritting my teeth cringing). I'd love to know who fierce is if we're allowed any hints....

Angrymum22 · 12/09/2023 21:15

Yawn’s salon is in someone’s garage on the outskirts of Worcester. It’s hardly upmarket.
I had a free haircut the other day, nothing to do with sm but a simple curtesy because I provided a free service for my hairdresser. We keep it very quiet because we don’t want anyone freeloading of either of us. Good businesses don’t need to advertise via grifters.
Yawn is trying to build up an influencer type sm. Fortunately her popularity locally is such that she would probably drive custom away if there’s a possibility bumping into her while pampering yourself. I can’t imagine anything worse than being trapped in a room with her while she tries her best to recruit you.

YouOKHun · 13/09/2023 01:05

@Lostmyway86 don’t feel too sorry for Nurse. She has ignored multiple red flags in her quest for an easy life. She spent a considerable amount of time trying to make Forever Living work for her under the “guidance” of Yawn.

Sometimes one has to accept one isn’t really “influencer” material and being an influencer can’t be manifested! Certainly unavailing your BOGOFF purchases from Poundland or wherever doesn’t really cut the mustard as an influencer.

Fierce: second name has two syllables, first one is what you get if you take the e out of the word stone and second syllable is what Kate Bush ran up. First name same as Barack’s wife. No it’s not Mrs Wuthering-Heights!

Spongebobette · 13/09/2023 05:07

Nurse’s daily updates are about how she slept - really scraping the barrel!

OP posts:
Lostmyway86 · 13/09/2023 06:57

@youokhun found her!

I didn't realise Yawn and Nurse were linked...I do wonder if any men fall for this rubbish. I know it's very female focussed and they target mums wanting to juggle work/life/children. I know Arbonne mum's events seem almost all women despite the odd male speaker.

WilkinsonM · 13/09/2023 07:24

I don't feel sorry for nurse. She's lazy and greedy and entitled. Thankfully she's too useless at botting to properly scam anyone but she's trying

Lunde · 13/09/2023 09:54

I used to feel sorry for Nurse - years ago - but I can't with her anymore. She has bounced from years in FL to the whole "manifesting" coaching woo. She doesn't seem to have the personality, hustle or work ethic to succeed in the MLM/ influencer SM lifestyle marketing.

I assume that she has some sort of private income as she can just quit her nursing jobs without problems. She seems to be a low rent version of Castle - announcing big ideas but never getting beyond ordering new business cards and making lists over a Latte in Costa.

Spongebobette · 13/09/2023 10:53

the only thing she learned from Castle was to share her daily life to seem ‘relatable’ and to tease the release of something by doing a countdown

Any clues to yawns exBFF? I assume it's not specsaver bot 😊 I keep seeing exBFF and thinking of 2jags but she's castles exBFF
