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 Bruv is still hiding and leaping out on people to try to scare them and filming it for social media content
what an arse

thats as well as filming his mum opening presents and posting it for all the world to see. No private moments allowed in that family

I expect there has been some fallout for Yawn’s children. Not just the intrusion into their lives and being used as props when younger but locally among their contemporaries, especially the girl.

I’ve come across a couple of bots in my area who are nothing like as relentless or notorious as Yawn and both of them have daughters of a similar age who have been very dismissive of the botting in order to preserve their social capital.

It’s really embarrassing if your mum’s every approach to your friends’ mums, your brother’s girlfriends, your neighbours, your teachers, your own friends etc etc has always had an FLP agenda, especially when you know it’s more than likely going to leave a bad taste or you’ve already receive negative comments or observed the looks to heaven when your mother is approaching people. Parents are embarrassing enough when you’re that sort of age, but Yawn is a whole other level. My DD would have disowned me in her teens if I’d been involved in MLM because of the day to day embarrassment. She’d still disown me now but more from the position of her being an economics student who can’t make MLM add up! My DS would take a similar line.

Spongebobette · 11/03/2024 16:55

Interestingly, despite Yawn claiming when her DD was much younger that she couldn’t wait to become a FL independent business owner there’s been no sign of that (although I suspect she’s been signed up as a downline to help Yawn build a team somewhere and funnel sales)

Yawns daughter is studying quite ironically criminology. She has told her mother she has zero interest in mlm pyramid schemes.

PieonaBarm · 12/03/2024 09:34

Yawns suddenly banging on about manifesting all kinds of drivel and listening to motivating stuff on YouTube.

Sugarplum48 · 12/03/2024 09:57

It's like watching a continuous car crash on loop. Manifesting claptrap.

ticktock19 · 12/03/2024 11:54

Just no Castle, this is absolutely not good value for money.
Have scribbled out her actual name but wasn't sure if point 5 was a typo or meant to be so left it in 😏

Absolute rip off

fromdownwest · 12/03/2024 12:34

£100k of training.....

Castle flicking her hair, saying hello to people randomly on lives, and just off the peg generic training nonsense.

SunflowerVibes · 12/03/2024 13:07

Wow, it takes a breathtaking level of arrogance and audacity to even post that in the current climate! Second hand cringe and embarrassment!

Who in their right mind would pay that?

Sugarplum48 · 12/03/2024 16:25

I agree with @Strawberr13s. Why are these awful scam artists being protected?? They don't protect the people they rip of. They bully and call people out by name if questioned like the above said ex flp bot does. It's madness. They should be called out and be held accountable

PieonaBarm · 12/03/2024 16:27

You get quite a lot of monthly/weekly/random coaching calls with Castle there. So that means there's not a lot of people on this lovely membership or she would be overrun and not able to manage.

TheShellBeach · 12/03/2024 16:46

That Lisa Johnson woman turned up on the thread about her and claimed that 60 people had signed up for her £2000 word salad course. Just as a result of that MN thread.

You couldn't make it up.

They're not being protected - these threads are. As clearly evidenced above with the now-deleted posts, they are on here and they are not scared to call out perceived defamation and MN aren't going to be arsed with all that. It's much better to use the aliases.

SunflowerVibes · 12/03/2024 18:19

Consider yourself warned if you’re headed to Sleaze’s FB page and about to have an early dinner - a knarly snap of their feet floating! His feet are like dinosaur claws - yuk!

Anyone interested in joining their private club?!

SunflowerVibes · 12/03/2024 18:24

Ohh, and in other new, Yawn has bagged herself a GBF! 😂😂

Angrymum22 · 13/03/2024 12:52

Laughing at Yawn hitting the road to Kidderminster!

YouOKHun · 13/03/2024 12:59

I see Castle is having to get very specific about who she’s targeting. She has a sponsored post all about using her follow up method for increasing recruiting. She claims her method is “as seen in the Daily Mail and on Channel 4” and includes their logos. This is an absolute lie but as she is harking back to her “success” in FLP I expect she is borrowing a mention of FLP in the DM and on Channel 4 and extrapolating this to imply her own media coverage. I don’t know about Channel 4 but the DM’s article about FLP in 2016 was not at all positive so I wouldn’t be encouraging people to search for DM and FLP if I was her. Anyway, it’s a blatant whopper from Castle.

She is also using photos of her Yoga mat cheques to promote her method. To link her cheques to her method she needs to confess that her method is lucky timing, family money, positioning by FLP as a “success” with people placed under her and then downhill from there. So I hope that’s clear when people are buying her “method”.

What is clear is that she needs to plunder her NWM past because planners and vague coaching offerings are not working. How long before it’s “surprise! I’ve missed NWM so much and yesterday I saw a feather that spoke to me and said ”NWM is where your heart is” and I knew it was my destiny”.

YouOKHun · 13/03/2024 13:01

New York, Paris, London, Kidderminster- Yawn truely is a Global bizniz woman.

dickiedavisthunderthighs · 13/03/2024 13:53

The one place she hasn't mentioned is India. The other bots are banging on about their jabs and wardrobe choices, but she's been remarkably quiet. Could it be that she can't stump up the air fare?

I thought India was all expenses paid? That's what she said on one of her posts a while back anyway! Though it's not like she's always honest.

Spongebobette · 13/03/2024 14:57

I’d forgotten about the Global Rally! It’s always so entertaining and I’m looking forward to seeing the UK contingent suffering through a long flight in cattle class, heat stroke and Delhi belly while trying to appear super happy and grateful.

It’s not long now - first week in April!
