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

Sleaze says the first goal now he’s [hiding from his creditors] in Portugal is to get the super car he’s going to buy up the unmade track to his mother’s house. I think he’d have been better off relying on that symbol of personal fortune that was the elderly Fiat Uno he owned in the UK (that he couldn’t afford to tax) as it would probably do a better job. Though thinking about it, the bailiffs may have taken it as a £200 payment towards his debts.

I wish I had his life of financial freedom. I think I’m going to type “£111,000,000,000,000,000” across the screen of my laptop and take a photo of it and post it on FB as proof of my crypto Ponzi success for all you losers trapped in the Matrix to envy!

I don't take personal offence to much of these idiots but yawn has pissed me right of. To actually actively post that you had a problem with alcohol, say you have been sober for 2 years (a actual category on her tiktok) then post you're drinking! Wtaf is wrong with her??I don't give a shit that it's 0.5% alcohol, it's alcohol and you're marketing you're teetotal. Shut the F up you utter moron. You're mugging vulnerable people.of for your own nasty flp gain. SHAME ON YOU. ITS BLATANT AND VILE.

@Angrymum22 I didn’t know Yawn was a smoker. I could believe it a few years ago but I am surprised that’s still the case given her endless reports of how she transformed her health. You’d have thought the smoking would be the first thing to go.

meatbaseddessert · 02/10/2023 08:10

No mention of the running from NNN for a while. Week 2 run 2 I think she got to mid last week? I guessed she'd cark it at week 3 run 2 but she's even surpassed my low expectations of flakiness. I suspect it will never be mentioned of again. Of course there's no accountability as she declared she would definitely do this in a live that disappears conveniently enough but she
Might find some people actually have memories. Hardly a good advert for for her manifesto capabilities given she stated she had visualised it.

Also what's the obsession with Stacey Solomon?

PieonaBarm · 02/10/2023 08:33

Some studies say smoking suppresses appetite and is a behavioural alternative to eating - as in it keeps your hands busy. Not a chance she'll give up, she will be worried she will gain weight. Although she probably needs to start to level off now, her head is starting to look a bit big for her body.

Angrymum22 · 02/10/2023 08:58

Yawn needs to reread her latest fb post and then read it several times more before posting all her crap online.

I think Nurse wants to be like her but she hasn't got a cat in hells chance. I couldn't take a business woman seriously if they think Stacey Soloman is amazing...

Jantlet · 02/10/2023 13:42

NNN has been genuflecting at Stacey Solomon’s cushions from The Asda.

Spongebobette · 02/10/2023 13:47

To be fair, NNN is far too busy to see any actual clients - what with a light blinking on her dashboard, a meeting at school, doing the weekly food shop, getting her nails done, tidying rooms, journaling, meditating, recording social media content, having chilled out days….

it’s unreasonable to expect her to book any clients in the little time she has in the day

There are a group of women who are bored/thick/lonely and develop parasocial relationships with Stacey Solomon, Mrs hinch etc and fantasise about being besties and part of 'hinch army' lol
The other factor is that they think they might get lucky and become wealthy influencers by posting videos of them cleaning their houses and styling with Asda cushions, without realising a) the market is saturated b) hinch et all are clever marketing professionals, not lucky housewives and c) their lives are too boring for anyone to pay attention to.

NB please could I request a new thread early? This one takes ages to load for me.

Major coincidence, a new mn from Worcestershire/Herefordshire border is on AIBU asking about tummy tuck after losing 6st.
What are the chances? FYO poster is fond of an apostrophe.

Howsimplywonderful · 02/10/2023 14:41

I didn’t see that one. I thought yawn was on aibu asking to bring her 12kg dog on a flight to Europe , but then thought yawn can’t afford flights to Europe 🤣

Sugarplum48 · 02/10/2023 17:26

I must search out yawns mn post. How hilarious. We should all comment!!!!! Ha ha see whatvl did there!!!

Spongebobette · 02/10/2023 17:28

I don’t think it’s her

I don’t think it’s Yawn either but very eagle-eyed @Angrymum22.

I have been watching the thread and although there are some differences it is common for ops to change their real story to avoid being outed. I just thought it was coincidental after Yawns story yesterday.

Talk about irony-meters getting overloaded, Bruv says that Castle is "constantly giving value and helping people" and that she "expects zero in return" 🤣

fromdownwest · 03/10/2023 10:28

More and moreon Castles posts are people questioning her, less people love bombing her. She is now seeing without the MLM funnel spoon feeding her victims she is struggling.

If she is reliant upon her own skill sets, she will be in for a bumpy ride!

YouOKHun · 03/10/2023 10:36

I see Nurse has now started recruitment for the coaching course she’s been on. She’s paid her money for a useless product and now she’s discovered she can’t make any money from the product she’s shifting her focus to pulling people in. There’s something very familiar about this process …

Spongebobette · 03/10/2023 11:52

Where’s she started doing that?
