botwatch 81. The latest thread in a very long series about the deceptions practised by mlms. Unbelievably people are still being hooked in by these schemes where 97 of those who join lose money?

Thread 81! The scam that keeps on giving! MLM, network marking, social selling or whatever else you want to call it. It rinses you of your money, time and friends for the dream of wealth, which never happens. Why? The business model ensures that only those at the very top of the 'pyramid' stand a chance of wealth, all the rest of us just "pay to play". The dream is a nightmare. Tell your stores here.

I see 2 Jags has also scraped into the lowest CB qualifying category. Will we ever see their sad yoga mats from this year, or will they post about 'another bonus cheque from their incredibly generous company' whilst showing older, more substantial cheques?

Spongebobette · 23/02/2024 13:16

Oh there will be a lot of spinning

I’m looking forward to seeing them all in India, after a loooong flight in cattle class, coping with the heat and Delhi belly, trying to be whoopy and celebratory 🤣

Twentytwentyhindsight · 23/02/2024 13:23

So it would appear that FLP's current A Team, touring the country as 'leaders' are barely qualified for a measly cheque that would have placed them lower than 50th in the UK rankings in the glory days...

So castle who has made millions from her online businesses is investing in residential property where you make a measly 5-10% return for a load of hassle. For someone in business it’s probably the worst thing you can do. Totally clueless.

YouOKHun · 23/02/2024 16:05

No one in Scotland recognised Yawn because of her weight loss which she states is:

“all thanks to the Forever Living weight loss range”

So that’s is a very clear false claim right there. There are rules about the promotion and selling of weight loss products. Why do bots think the rules don’t apply to them?

Spongebobette · 23/02/2024 16:49

A bit like Specsaver who recently claimed she move to her dream house thanks to FL

and that she makes £200 a day from FL

In a falling market, increased lending costs, raw materials peaking, capital gains tax increasing and allowances reducing, increased land lord legislation in Wales.

all in all a great idea

YouOKHun · 23/02/2024 19:51

I guess if you’re frittering your parents’ money on yet another whim, none of that matters @fromdownwest. All that matters is having some drivel to put on Insta to obscure the lack of action or interest in your planner business.

I expect her parents will do the donkey work and when they’ve grafted and picked up the tab Castle will buy a couple of cushions in Next Home and announce that its been an exhausting journey watching her dad fritter away his retirement while renovating her property.

Knitted headband has had a very exciting 50 minute phone call but shhhhh! Can't reveal what about yet! They're so tiresome aren't they.

MaybeItsJustTimeToStop · 24/02/2024 00:29

Also nurse hasn't mentioned yawns health tips for a couple of weeks, guess that's gone by the wayside. And she's pretty much talked her kid out of the swimming lessons because she doesn't like that the instructor is on the side not in the water. Despite the fact she claims he can swim, anything that requires effort or commitment just goes doesn't it, it's such a bad example for him

Spongebobette · 24/02/2024 07:31

One of the side effects of believing in manifestation and all that law of attraction stuff seems to be a tendency to ‘give yourself permission’ to not do anything you don’t feel like doing. Presumably ‘self love’ is the same

Sugarplum48 · 24/02/2024 17:16

The irony in yawns "be kind" fb post. Coming from the women who regularly bullies other women.

spanfan · 24/02/2024 18:30

If FLP products are so good for weight loss why did it take over 10 years for it to work. She is SUCH a Billy bullsh**ter.

The property investment might be an attempt to build a pension. Because without having a j.o.b. she won't have a decent pension plan.

ticktock19 · 24/02/2024 19:06

If you want a giggle then Sleazes latest pics of his team 'enjoying' training are absolutely brilliant

Spongebobette · 24/02/2024 19:10

Oh what a raggle taggle lot they are 🤣

Contraryjane · 25/02/2024 08:17

The audience all look either bored stiff or utterly disbelieving.

Spongebobette · 25/02/2024 08:24

Looks like Specsaver bot got food poisoning on her ‘leaders on tour’ visit to Glasgow

Twentytwentyhindsight · 25/02/2024 09:28

Classic Freudian slip on Sleaze's caption for the 'team' photo.

No doubt any weightloss as a result of the food poisoning will be conveniently attributed to the C9 etc

Spongebobette · 25/02/2024 12:22

From her sickbed she’s posting about ‘a challenge’ she’s been set to sell lip balms

no rest for the wicked

Angrymum22 · 25/02/2024 16:43

She states that the lip balm is delicious. Probably just eaten too many of them or mixed up the one she uses for shaving rash with the one she uses for her lips, ew🤮

Angrymum22 · 25/02/2024 16:45

Can you imagine staying in their hotel in Scotland and witnessing Yawn’s catwalk video being shot. I bet it took multiple takes and anyone else notice the distinct lack of leg gap despite the John Wayne swagger.
These are 40yr old women acting like teenagers or drag queens.

PieonaBarm · 25/02/2024 19:27

You'd think they never stayed in a hotel before. It looks like all they did on that trip was mess about taking the same photo of each other contacting everyone after the "buzz" on their socials, pretend they're ultra successful and prance about in the hotel, and go to Starbucks and Wagamamas. I bet the CM was thrilled at the turnout and their effort!

Spongebobette · 25/02/2024 19:50

I recall when my friend who became a bot years ago (and the reason I found these threads) was new to the ‘Business’ she would talk about ‘creating excitement’

I can see bots are still trying to do this but sadly for them there is zero FOMO created by a long trip to sit in a room with ‘prospects’ or their slightly manic photos in a Travelodge in Glasgow
