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.

Which is it for three @Spongebobette? Misfortune, carelessness and... being a bellend?

Spongebobette · 15/03/2024 17:20

lol yes definitely from Wilde’s lexis

BSintolerant · 15/03/2024 17:58

Either that or he’s going to hell in a handbag …

a HAAAAANDBAAAAAAG???

YouOKHun · 15/03/2024 18:13

Yes, good point @dickiedavisthunderthighs, another hole in his benevolent victim story. On his LinkedIn he says he met his wife through FLP (obviously he needs to update his LinkedIn but what the feck is he going to add re his career?). I only read that last night and up until then had assumed they got involved in FLP as a couple. I hadn’t really thought about a timeline of when he swopped his second “narcissist” for his third one (he has been married three times I remember him saying).

Spongebobette · 15/03/2024 18:27

I remember in one of his videos he mentioned that he’d gone to a FL event and was being ‘recognised’ as a success but couldn’t afford to buy a coffee

On the back of Yawn’s 15 minutes of fame in the TiA report on MLM false income claims I’m recording hers by way of the bots’ nemesis; screenshots. I’ve gone into her back catalogue of fibbing from the middle of February this year. I thought this would be a quick job but there is virtually no day that passes without her naming a specific sum, alluding to her own wealth or using words to describe FLP in legitimate employment terms such as “I’ve just received my payslip” and words like “salary” etc.

When I’ve got 365 examples I am going to produce a wall calendar with an income lie a day and send one to the TiA office. It’s not going to take me 365 days to collect them, far from it. In fact it’s going to take some editing to get it down to 365 lies.

I did like the fact that the one false income claim made by Yawn that TiA chose to include in their report was dated 1st April. I wonder if that was deliberate?

Spongebobette · 16/03/2024 06:38

A lot of the lies now happen in stories etc which disappear after 24 hours and I’m sure that’s deliberate

Do you think ww anger is more to do with homeschool now being with a women and he feels ganged up on!!

Spongebobette · 16/03/2024 12:21

I’m sure it was a kick in the ego

ticktock19 · 16/03/2024 17:11

We have a front door thatch pic...the thatch is looking sparse, the decorative trees look very spindly and like they'd appreciate bigger pots and the window sills could do with some tlc too

DogsAreBetterThanHusbands · 17/03/2024 00:11

Oh! Just looked at the front door photo. The thatch over the front door is not looking healthy. Amazed she posted that TBH. Maybe she thought everyone would be focused on the wreath?

lostinlego · 17/03/2024 19:42

Yawn claims she's studying quantum physics! I'm not sure manifesting has much to do with physics quantum or otherwise!

Angrymum22 · 17/03/2024 20:29

Equating manifesting with any science only means one thing, you don’t have a large number of particles between one ear and the other. But Yawn is a self confessed thicko, she reminds us annually of her failure to pass any exams.

In a similar fashion, finding white feathers is not a sign that a dead relative is sending you a sign. It just means you have feather filled pillows or cushions. It’s fairly obvious where feathers come from outside, although I do wonder with some people if they are capable of joined up thinking.

YouOKHun · 17/03/2024 20:57

Manifesting but it’s all sciencey and not Woo. FFS she’s an idiot.

SnoogyWoo · 18/03/2024 05:56

Why do you have to spend so much time manifesting your future if the bizniz is so easy to do and become a millionaire 🤔

Spongebobette · 18/03/2024 08:06

Or if you are already a millionaire and are only involved in an MLM to help others because you are so kind?

Sugarplum48 · 18/03/2024 08:26

What is Yawn blathering on about now with all this manifesting rubbish? She sounds like a utter clown with no idea what the heck she is doing!! Manifesting becoming a millionaire is not going to happen in flp. She's been at it for 15 years and only got herself into dreadful debt. Is she hoping she will magically get rich to pay of her horrendous directors loan and get that god awful thatch roof repaired. Maybe spend less money on those awful red claw like nails, save money on ridiculous things and you may make a small dent in you ever increasing debt. Just a thought hey yawn. Did she get Mr Yawn to lie on the pavement to get that photon off her posing with the dog!! The other dogs never seem to get out do they!!

fromdownwest · 18/03/2024 11:57

Does she not realise how thick she looks, learning quantum mechanics with a book, in a day.

Sugarplum48 · 18/03/2024 12:50

@fromdownwest probably why she hasn't succeeded after flogging her arse of for 15 years. Its all a ridiculous power trip that achieves f all

Tupperwarelid · 18/03/2024 12:52

I went to a lecture by Professor Brian Cox last year. He was trying to explain quantum mechanics to the audience and not once did he mention manifestation. Black holes yes, but getting what you've put on your goal board via physics er no.

Twentytwentyhindsight · 18/03/2024 13:13

Didn't Fierce start plugging some sort of 'quantum' woo after she did the dirty on Castle?

Sugarplum48 · 18/03/2024 13:19

You only have to google "Does manifestation work" and surprise surprise it says there is no scientific proof or evidence that it does. It's simply a case of either being in the right place at the right time or working towards getting the thing/things you want which is exactly what yawn has more or less said in her stupid post about the dog. In reality she just kept looking and applying, put the word out she wanted that type of dog and a "friend" by chance saw the dog she wanted. It was then a simple case of them being lucky they were picked. It simply boils down to luck or as one physician said it's called lucky girl syndrome. Some of us are luckier than others. It's called life!! Yawn however doesn't seem to get that. But as we all know she isn't very bright. The only thing that beams back at her is the flash light from her camera phone as her dim husband snaps silly pictures of her on cheltenham high street.

I went to the same show, I followed him, then just lost me, then I’m back on, then lost me.

a totally humbling experience, but the nerd in me loved it!
