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.

Omggg, I had to watch it about 5 times (Wig n Sleaze promo vid) and literally pmsl!! 🤣🤣🤣

Sleaze is a lot of things but I must concede he does have the gift of the gab even if mostly spewing utter tripe! Wig on the other hand…! The frozen awkward delivery being barely comprehensible and then the added comedy of the rotund middle and fuller limbs - I just can’t!!!

What an utter comedy duo! The fawning comments just add to the lunacy!

I can’t find Sleaze’s Instagram, I have his Facebook and I can find Wig on Instagram but not him.

OMG, that Wig and Sleaze double act. 😆

Wig sounds like she's (badly) reading the latest Biff and Chip offering.

And don't get me started on her outfit!

Ignore me, I’ve found it. It was well worth the search.

I wonder how many takes they did!

You can just see Matt Lucas and David Walliams performing that in the good old Little Britain days.

@MrsGlennBulb 🤣🤣 It’s very Little Britain isn’t it? They’re the only idiots in the video, that’s for sure!

I wonder how long it took them to perfect the part where they’re both pointing at pictures of yachts as if they’re experts? You can almost hear the cogs turning … “I think it’s on ‘record’ … right, quick … point at that photo and act as if you know what you’re pointing at and you’re seriously interested in buying it … No! Don’t point at the same time, try to look natural!”

Where are they getting their money from to stay in Dubai? Is it left over from a previous scam?

I had to zoom in on Wig’s wig as it looked like she’d got a bat on her head. On closer inspection I realised it was her sunglasses! 🙈

Weird Willy still radio silence since he got his last brutal comment on his page.
A whole month without commenting on narcissists.

@BSintolerantWhere are they getting their money from to stay in Dubai? Is it left over from a previous scam?

They are in a £40/night hotel out by the airport. Likely they’ve done a deal there (conference rates) and got their stay for free as they’ve pulled in the poor saps from South Africa and Papua New Guinea.

It’s the morally repugnant Bloodsucker business model.

I find it very disconcerting his Wig and Sleaze manage to get their claws into seemingly nice enough but dim ladies of a certain age who have some savings but also determined to “escape the matrix”. The current one has the name of a famous Scottish singer who used to be married to Maurice Gibb.

It’s uncomfortable to see the dynamic particularly with how Sleaze interacts with her in some clips with arms draped around etc - clutches literally into the poor woman. No doubt she’ll be rinsed of her savings sooner or later.

I agree @SunflowerVibes, the UK couple (with the farm / sheep / horses) that they were tagging all the time esp to do with the housing building con seemed to have fallen by the wayside now. I hope they've just realised what a con it all was and haven't invested thousands

How do I find out who wig and sleaze are?

I've just watched wig and sleezes promo 😭😭 it's the woodentops!

So Sleaze’s first name is the shortened form of form name of Hollywood actor of film Blade. His surname is the same as the surname of Ben Affleck’s ex wife. Once you find him, you’ll know who Wig is! Happy Bot watching this gruesome duo!

@ticktock19 - yes that’s very true, they have gone quiet and hopefully for good reason! The sad thinking was that the lady seemed to have a lot of well wishers who sometimes tried to warn her in comments but she seemed well and truly taken in at that stage. When he was “wooing them”, both Sleaze and Wig spent some time at their farm and were pretending to be such animal lovers, but it all seemed so performative and disingenuous.

On the subject of the West Country couple that Wig and Sleaze were hooked into. It looks like she was all excited about the launch of the house printing Ponzi in their local town with a couple of excited posts days and hours before, then nothing since 11th Jan with the event on 13th Jan. W&S obviously attended the event on 13th and Sleaze tagged both Mr & Mrs West Country into his post about the event. They did not respond with their own posts about the event and did not respond by liking the posts from Wig or Sleaze and haven’t interacted since (though Messiah did “like” Sleaze’s post).

I wonder if, just before the event, they saw the light or if they attended the event that possibly hearing the same flannel to a new audience made them realise? I find it hard to believe they haven’t already lost some money because there is no way W&S wouldn’t have paid them attention for as long as they have without an “investment” being forthcoming.

Yup @YouOKHun, there was a lot of selling off of horse boxes, tack and very nice show / dressage ponies too and I hope so much that thus wasn't invested in to D. AI. SY shite. I pretty sure they went out to the dodgy AF timeshare Cyprus holiday homes that Wig kept post about.
I see Mrs West Country is asking for farm jobs for her son, I'm sure if they were crypto zillionaires then they'd probably just buy him one

It would seem that Mrs Horse has possibly found out that it’s all a mirage and that would explain recent lack of interaction with Wig n Sleaze. She does not seem the type to be expressive or loud about things so I wonder if they’re just quietly trying to move on? That manipulation and choosing people that are unlikely to call you out when the truth emerges seems part of their predatory strategy. They know how to choose their victims.

@SunflowerVibes thank you!

Blimey someone has left some right corker comments on W&S insta post calling them out. People are not holding back with these clowns.

Let's plaster a photo of me me me on the socials to celebrate my daughters birthday said no one ever except yawn!! Could you be any more narcissistic!

@Sugarplum48 i noticed yesterday morning Yawn posted a picture of the Daughter and someone commented ahh she let you put a pic of her up on her birthday and Yawn replied she didn’t ask her , fast forward a couple of hours and the post and photo had vanished ! So very telling that the Daughter doesn’t want to appear on Yawns socials isn’t it ! And then to slap yourself on there instead , Wow just wow .

It’s interesting isn’t it that the children of Yawn refuse to be included in the social media posts - as soon as they were able to make that clear. Years ago they were not able to express their objection or were even aware that their mother was plastering them all over her public social media and the daughter in particular featured a lot

I wonder if Castle’s older son will start to be aware he’s being exploited and will tell his mother to stop sharing photos of him - and as for the younger one, I fear he’s going to be used relentlessly for engagement as she shares every aspect of his ‘journey’

That is such a vile thing to do. She's 18 and has every right not to want to be associated with yawns shit show shenanigans. She doesn't respect any boundaries at all.
