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.

She still has an eating disorder I think

Without a doubt.

It worries me the message it gives her kids when she's popping fat blockers rather than eating real food.

Spongebobette · 22/03/2024 14:42

Ah good point @BSintolerant

that must be why we are back to ‘putting plans in place for £xxx a month’

BSintolerant · 22/03/2024 15:22

Ah … @Spongebobette - thank you so much for reminding me about the plans I put in place last year to purchase Brighton Pier and Blackpool Tower! Or was it the Eiffel Tower? I can’t remember. I seem to recall that @YouOKHun was also putting plans in place to learn to fly so I offered to push her off the top of one of the aforementioned towers so she could fly like a Super Soaring Flappy Pigeon. Have you grown wings yet YouOKHun or have you not put your plans in place? I suppose you’ll have to apply to The Universe’s Manifesting Department for Planning Permission and hope that nobody objects.😉

YouOKHun · 22/03/2024 17:39

@BSintolerant if Spongebobette is having to remind you about your goal board it’s not looking like you’re taking Manifesting seriously. I can’t move my goals forward until you have purchased the Eiffel Tower as the current owners are negative sheep who keep muttering about “des morceaux de corps partout dans le Champ de Mars” and asking for €12 before they will let me begin my ascent. So please stop dicking about and press on with putting plans in place to purchase the ET.

When I am finally standing on the pinnacle of the Eiffel Tower all I will have to do is want to fly and if I really want it enough then I will fly. What I manifest WILL come to me and I am putting plans in place to fly soon. An important part of it is ignoring the trolls, aeronautical engineers and other haterz who want me to fail because they are failures themselves and are probably too fat to fly.

Thank you for offering to help with my launch (quite literally). I do hope it comes from the right place. I wouldn’t want to think a negative thought along the lines of you being busy manifesting me having the aerodynamic qualities of granite.

Anyway, as well as putting plans in place to fly I am doing an online course in Flying for Huns at the Dreamtastic Skool of Manifesting Flight who have a course which normally costs £9999999999997 but is exclusively available for £1.99 any time any one takes an interest. My coach says she has already propelled herself across the Atlantic simply by manifesting the ability to fly and being bought a plane ticket! I have fashioned wings from some flesh coloured leggings I bought on Vinted so I’m good to go. This time next year all my manifesting will come true and I will be airborne in my pockets of time out of traction.

Spongebobette · 22/03/2024 17:54

Please can you advise me what to do

I spent hours creating my goal board, turned my desk to face the door, shut my eyes and manifested till I was blue in the face, I always act as though I’m already rich because then the universe will make me rich, but I still haven’t got any money

what am I doing wrong?

YouOKHun · 22/03/2024 18:37

@Spongebobette have you forgotten to put gold coins in a gold pot? I think you may be manifesting the wrong opportunity. I’m currently starting at the top of an amazing company selling products for the home (small pyramid ornaments). It’s not a pyramid scheme because those are illegal and it’s not recruitment it’s just sharing the opportunity.

All you need to do is buy a starter pack and then buy one pyramid ornament every day to stay qualified. The pyramid ornaments sell themselves. You can get a promotion in this amazing company in the first 20 minutes if you share it with just 97 friends who all need pyramid ornaments. If you only manage to purchase 90 pyramids to sell then I have a Coaching course called Manifesting your dreams in this Pyramid ornament selling opportunity.

It’s probably best if you put your gold coins into my gold pot for safe keeping.

Spongebobette · 22/03/2024 19:10

Of course! It’s the gold coins! Silly me

BSintolerant · 22/03/2024 22:06

@YouOKHun 🤣🤣🤣

I will stop dicking about and pick a pocket of time to manifest putting a deposit on the Eiffel Tower so I can support you with your literal launch (literally)! I could do as Castle did and claim that Timeless Vie has enabled me to buy the Eiffel Tower and hope nobody finds out that it’s still up for sale and rings the estate agent who tells them it’s currently being rented out as a business rental … 😉

I was wondering what sort of deviant was buying Yawn’s flesh coloured leggings, and now I know. Given that they make her look like she’s got prosthetic limbs, turning them into prosthetic wings is a master stroke! All you need now is a soft landing, cushioned by some mouldy straw. Soar high like a flappy pigeon! 🦅

Spongebobette · 23/03/2024 06:12

Oh and I have bought some angel wings to hang on the wall and a gazillion hearts on bits of string to hang everywhere! Plus, importantly, lots of plaques with powerful words on like ‘live, laugh, love’

I can’t fail now

fromdownwest · 23/03/2024 09:56

Castles never ending 50% off must end soon is a tad desperate.

Sugarplum48 · 23/03/2024 10:02

I'm selling dream journels for £999999 billionty pounds. If you buy now whilst my sale is on I'll knock 50% of but you must manifest that discount first whilst shaking your gold pot of ball currency coins you had left-over from your airport stay!!

YouOKHun · 23/03/2024 11:03

@BSintolerant 😂 yes, why not just rent the Eiffel Tower on the quiet for me and I’ll say I own it and can jump off it as much as I want because it’s my tower that I manifested.

@Spongebobette forget the angel wings, I’ve stitched together some sweaty old vests from Vinted into a bat cape which would look good on the wall above your door facing desk.

@Sugarplum48 I can’t manifest anything if I haven’t planned it in my planner so what am I going to do?

YouOKHun · 23/03/2024 11:08

@fromdownwest yes I’ve been having déjà vu all week. Every day she is telling us to “hurry” as the offer ends today. I’d love to know how many people are signing up. I wonder if anyone silly enough to follow the free offerings then decides to pay for more of the same drivel. I find it hard to believe anyone would.

Sugarplum48 · 23/03/2024 11:43

@YouOKHun hang on I'm sure I've got a wall plack you can buy from me that urges you to prepare to prepare and thennnn you can manifest whilst rattling your coin tin sat at your bespoke two legged desk drinking the giz and rocking silently

Spongebobette · 23/03/2024 14:23

Yawn is ‘labouring’ on her driveway today - wonder if she’s had several tonnes of Cotswold stone delivered!

YouOKHun · 23/03/2024 14:43

I see the former TSLife/Rem/UR and now Prouve hun who is also the former Scotland FM’s sister has received some harsh feedback in the tabloids for posting on her social media about the PoW’s diagnosis before the PoW’s filmed statement was released, in what people are taking to be a leak of information but is probably just unfortunate timing in sharing some guesswork for the usual bot engagement.

PieonaBarm · 23/03/2024 15:39

Yawn now thinks she's a cross country runner as she's had a rulk (mixture of run and walk) around some paths in a wood and reckons she can double her distance and smash a 10km out next week. She's almost a guilty pleasure for me as she's always coming out with ridiculous 💩

NormalForNuneaton · 23/03/2024 17:06

The woods where she goes was probably full of mums and toddlers who were terrified to see her and the dog running towards them!
It's always full of young children, dog walkers etc.
Wouldn't be my first choice of somewhere to run with a dog like that.

ticktock19 · 24/03/2024 11:49

So....yawn is going to India...she's dragged up a presumably old pic featuring the scrapped Rangey and her wrapped up for winter clutching a C9 because despite her incredibly healthy diet she needs to do another one before India 🙄

Spongebobette · 24/03/2024 11:55

oh that’s good news. Can’t wait for Global Rally!

ticktock19 · 24/03/2024 15:30

Surprise surprise, specsavers is also waving a C9 about..must have been told to flog them

PieonaBarm · 24/03/2024 15:58

Yawn gyrating and thrusting her hips on her story for her weight loss has just made me a bit sick....

It’s scrolling past her décolleté that makes me feel a bit sick

YouOKHun · 24/03/2024 19:22

“Be honest, when someone loses weight a little part of us all wants to see if they get fat again”.

Yawn gives away her attitude here, as a person who doesn’t really want others to have their successes. I don’t know about anyone else but if someone I know loses or gains weight it’s of no particular interest to me, because it isn’t the most important thing about someone. I’m certainly not going to be monitoring their body and secretly hoping or relishing weight gain.

Yawn has fallen into the unfortunate habit of equating low weight with higher value. Being delighted you’ve lost weight and are leading a more healthy life is something to celebrate but she needs to stop defining herself and other people by their weight.

I suppose she thinks people watching her who are more critical of her conduct (“the trolls” and “the jealous”) are watching just for this but actually it’s all about watching her conduct and the lies she tells to sell both the products and the business, the size of her jeans is irrelevant. In the same FB post she says ‘I can show you how I did it [lost weight] using two plans’ so that’s a lie as her weight loss did not happen due to FLP products but this statement implies something that isn’t true. That’s why we are watching!

A little part of me wants to see her downfall because of the lies she tells that mislead people, I don’t care if she has that downfall in size 8 or size 20 clothes.

BSintolerant · 24/03/2024 20:25

If Yawn’s resumed making things up about C9s as an aid to weight loss, this is yet another example of the MLM Law of Reaction … Stop fibbing Yawn!
