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

Castle harping on about how great her mum is on a bday post dedicated to her mum. Yes of course she's great, she pays for your entire existence you utter moron. You still narcissisticly made the entire post about you though!!!

Another sign of the decline.

There's a distinct lack of holidays going on, even the basic 2 weeks in a holiday apartment/villa in Spain with the family (which is what I've had this year and I'm not claiming to be a successful business owner...I just have a J.O.B. with a regular monthly income, paid holiday, paid sick leave etc)

It’s a sign that real incomes are being stretched; the incomes of partners and proper jobs (where bots do them) and other income sources that are used to shore up their MLM activities, so those incomes can no longer provide the props such as holidays/shopping /cars etc, used to sell the FLP dream. How is attraction marketing supposed to work if your partner’s salary no longer stretches to Maritius anymore, but only to Margate (and your FLP earnings are too insignificant/unstable to count)?

Yawns new AMAZING crappy mag feature!! Reads like a poorly written cv belonging to a gullible teenager. It's apparently the start of yet another new adventure!!! How many new starts into the spot light is this now??

NormalForNuneaton · 10/08/2023 18:34

Yawn is desperate for content ...she's managed to get 3 Facebook posts from going for a dog walk.

Yawn indeed 😴

YouOKHun · 10/08/2023 18:50

I am going to email the editor of that shite magazine to tell her all the reasons why an FLP hun shouldn’t be advertising her business on their pages and claiming weight loss is down to the products. That mag has all the vibes of targeting people who will be vulnerable to the MLM message. It’s just the sort of mag that should be writing about the risks of MLM, not promoting them (even subtly).

YouOKHun · 10/08/2023 19:14

I see Sleaze is staying on Anglesey and has taken a photo from his hotel window where he and the Facebook banned Wig are now “escaping the Matrix”. The hotel is easily identifiable and the cheapest double room on the cheaper street side of the hotel is £162 without breakfast. What I’d like to know is where he gets £162 from. These are the options.

a) his adoring but misguided mother is paying
b) he is paying out of his vast crypto wealth
c) he is bartering using bags of carrots
d) Wig has accumulated some benefits while pretending to be resident in the second largest city in Wales
e) they have broken into the room to take a photo from the window while the cleaners were looking the other way
f) they will do a runner early in the morning

I think option f.

It will be interesting to hear what they have to say.....let us know when (if) you get a reply.

YouOKHun · 10/08/2023 19:49

I think “if” is probably the right word @Wintersgirl! The advertisement article has a bit of a letter style to it and I wouldn’t be surprised if Yawn had been contacting every tacky mag out there. This time she has been able to mention the brand.

Vanity Fair and Vogue have said no 😉.

SunflowerVibes · 10/08/2023 20:44

Thank you to those who answered my previous questions- lost track but appreciate!

Re Wig and Sleaze, I don’t really get the fuss over “permanently banned” surely he could just create a new account and rinse and repeat?!

Wig’s posts are so so cringe!

definitelynotabot · 10/08/2023 21:30

Ooh, interesting. The FL festival appearance is a company effort, not an individual bot effort. That's a first, and shows how desperate things are.

YouOKHun · 10/08/2023 23:26

I see FLP UK is now offering autoship. Bad news, just ask Juice Plus bots.

Boudicasbeard · 11/08/2023 08:09

The thing about the holidays is very interesting. My BSAH queen bot is pumping out posts about all the fab things she’s doing with her family on the U.K.- going to the park, taking walks in the woods and also getting her local down lines to go places with her so it looks like they are all having a great time. Every excursion documented to look amazing.

Except last year she took them all on a week long trip to Tenerife and splashed that everywhere.

Makes me think that even area leaders are making pretty much nothing at the moment.

And yet the likes of Yawn and her downline are posting like this

I’ve only gone & bagged myself a stand to showcase my health range on the Sunday 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

In yawn's article, it says her goal was to RUN a marathon, which she apparently did. Ummm.... you walked, in an anorak!

fromdownwest · 11/08/2023 09:30

The cost of living crisis is really going to highlight the single income households.

Previously, the BOTS would have had a partner with an actual JOB to carry them.

Now with mortgages and cost of living increasing, their ability to carry the BOTS hobby will be strained.

Barn bot appears to have dipped out.

DeliaDeetz · 11/08/2023 09:58

Yawn should have probably hidden the bit at the bottom of the latest article which asks people to contact them if they've got a weigh loss story to share. She's clearly been emailing every mag in the country asking to be featured! 😂
I'm guessing this new found love of cycling is her looking for more victims recruits!

Angrymum22 · 11/08/2023 11:58

The article heavily features FL products which we all know are not the source of her weight. And yes always proof read before you post.

Norma27 · 11/08/2023 12:14

Ha ha! Most of you will know this man. Always pulling ridiculous faces. I commented he is a scammer on a fb sponsored post and he messaged me 🤣

NNNurse has listened to her body and gave herself permission to have the day off from 'work' yesterday and not feel guilty. And probably today actually as it's sunny and she needs to go to the supermarket.

Definitely the way to build a business guys! Follow NNN for more motivational and entrepreneurial tips!

DeliaDeetz · 11/08/2023 14:39

I see Nurse has added the word "coaching" to her Instagram name - wonder if that's something she learnt on the course she seems to be doing an hour of every few days!

Ha! Noticed that. That's added credibility hasn't it?

Spongebobette · 11/08/2023 16:26

She’s also ‘Founder’ of her FB page (I do g think she’s actually registered a business?

that 5k she’s spent on the ‘I saw you coming’ course was worth every penny 🙄

Oh dear just checked on Companies House and the name she’s using for her business is already taken 🙄

Ha ha oh dear! She makes out she's in high demand from Women's magazines, classic!
