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.

Agree. The 'quadrant intervention' disappeared; nobody seemed to want to spend a fortune getting some advice and staying over in her mum's annex, and those pesky negative reviews aren't going anywhere - in fact she seems to have racked up a few more in the past few months.

Lol Mr Yawn so excited for a trip to Paris!! Why can't he go to India?? Surely with their wealth they can pop to Paris in the pockets of spare time they have?

@dickiedavisthunderthighs yes those negative reviews pop up in quite a few places on various sites that are not quite so willing to remove the negative.

I never did find out what a Quadrant Intervention was but it seemed to involve other people’s money, an urgent need to leave Spain, misrepresentation by passing off stock photos as her own and a weekend of waving crystals about in Glastonbury. What the Quadrant Intervention was supposed to achieve we will never know…perhaps that’s the goal; just to muddy the waters and confuse the more gullible followers who see her shape-shifting as the sign of a true entrepreneur rather than the sign of a crook.

In other news, Weird Willy has quietly returned to his FB pages and deleted the 4 Feb content which contained the very to the point and accurate assessment of his content. So quiet deletion but no additional posts. One of his recent videos was about family critics. This was around Christmas time so he must have seen his family. His video led with the question “do you get constantly criticised by narcissists in your own family? So he’d clearly seen his parents who must have asked the same questions as everyone else. Let’s hope he’s reflected on things and thrown himself into real life and decided that he’s wasting his time online. Or perhaps his parents said “stop this nonsense or you won’t get your considerable inheritance”!

So yawns Delhi belly partner looks to be just like Specsavers and copies everything Yawn posts...I've not seen her before, has anyone else?

Mr Yawn is excited about going to Paris because it’ll be the last time he’ll be able to see the Eiffel Tower in situ before I buy it and have it conveyed across the channel and reassembled in my back garden (all in my pockets of time). How are those wings coming along @YouOKHun ? 😉

Coming along nicely @BSintolerant. I thought I was going to have to buy a lot of leggings on Vinted but it turns out all those size 12 leggings were actually size 20 so I’ve got more fabric to work with than I thought. I’m taking inspiration from these people.

She popped up recently when Yawn and her minions went on a city trip (the one where they took it on turns to film each other walking down the Travelodge corridor....as you do 🤔).

Yawn posted some unflattering photos of her during the trip so maybe she can get her own back and do a Roomie during the trip, posting some unflattering ones of Yawn. In fact, she reminds me of Roomie, I think it's the rictus grin. 😬

Roomie 2 is a sequel I WANT to see.

The mirror scene needs to be censored @Twentytwentyhindsight 😉

@YouOKHun 🤣🤣

To paraphrase Spike Milligan - flying isn’t dangerous, crashing is dangerous! What he’d have thought of jumping off the Eiffel Tower with Yawn’s bloomers for wings is anyone’s guess.

@NormalForNuneaton thanks, oh, she definitely needs to get revenge photos then 😂😂

@BSintolerant funnily enough I knew Spike Milligan and I think he would have approved!

Will Yawn and her favourite victim at the moment have to share a room, and more to the point, a bathroom?

Still, what’s a little bit of Dengue Fever among your bots when there are potential victims aplenty in India? It’s important to raise the profile of FLP there in these desperate times.

i hope they have their vaccinations up to date. Dengue is about £240 for starters and recommended now I believe. My DS is off tomorrow for 3/4 months travelling around Central and South America and it’s cost a lot of money to get all the vaccines which aren’t available on the NHS.

I'm very envious that you knew Spike Milligan! He was & remains one of my favourite people, ever.

It reminds me of the time Spike Milligan said he was going to have this engraved on his headstone:

I told you I was ill!

Meanwhile, Castle is reduced to making promo clips for her 'client's' biznises...

@Wintersgirl he has got that line on his gravestone but it’s in Gaelic which had to be used to get it approved!

I have a great story about one of the sillinesses that went on between SM and Peter Sellers which I will type up later if it’s not wondering too far off the Botwatching point of these threads. I thought it might provide a brief respite from our predictions of a gastrointestinal Armageddon that will define the GR? But let me know if it’s too irrelevant.

The FBO uk, Ireland and Iceland page has just released pics of the top 3 bots for the different regions. Yawn only makes number 1 in open volume, she's not top recruiter nor total business (Uber). All the others regions contain familiar faces

Hmm interesting that Uber’s mum is number 3 under her - she’s clever at using relatives to bolster her position

IIRC Uber's Mum recruited her, and in turn was recruited by the Dr. (Is he still involved).

Ahh, I wondered if that was her mum, thank you for confirming. Interesting that it's ex/not ex BFF in 2nd and Mum in 3rd then. Very handy for Uber 😏

Oh please do derail for this! My dad adores Spike, Hancock, The Goons, all from that era. And he educated my brother and I well!

Comedy like that is priceless.

I remember his retort to Prince Charles, it was hilarious

Me too @Spongebobette 😂

Please do tell @YouOKHun!

OK, this may be spoiled by lack of talent as a raconteuse and you’ve got to picture Peter Sellers at his funniest with his absolutely brilliant comic timing and Spike with his sense of the ridiculous. This tale was told to me by Peter Sellers’ first wife Anne who was the person I knew much better than SM (I never met Peter Sellers). It might well be a well told tale by now.

Spike Milligan and Peter Sellers were very good friends and at this time lived fairly close to each other in north London, their friendship fuelled by endless practical jokes against each other with the sole purpose of making each other laugh whatever it took, even if the planning of one of the jokes took days to set up for a moment of laughter, each never knowing what the other was about to dish up. No chance for a bit of silliness was missed.

Peter Sellers had hit upon an idea and spent the evening tittering to himself. Anne went off to bed and at about midnight she heard Peter Sellers go downstairs. She looked out of the window and in the dark made out the figure of Peter getting into a black cab. There was some sort of commotion in the cab and some sort of heated conversation with the cabbie or raised voices and then much laughter. She took herself off to bed.

Meanwhile across Hampstead, a mere 20 minute cab ride away, Spike Milligan had gone to bed and was nodding off when there was a sudden and urgent ring on the doorbell. Startled he rushed downstairs and opened the door to see Peter Sellers dressed in black high polished Oxford shoes, black calf length socks with sock suspender belts, a bowler hat and an old fashioned cane handled black umbrella over his arm. Other than that he was stark bollock naked. As Spike took in this vision on his doorstep Peter Sellers said in his best upper class voice,

“I say Old Chap, do you happen to know the name of a good tailor around here?”.

He confessed he had planned to pull the same stunt in the middle of the afternoon in broad daylight but the cabbie had refused to take him and the walk to the tube station was too far in uncomfortable shoes (and no clothes).

@YouOKHun 🤣🤣

Thank you for a much needed laugh! I can imagine SM’s reaction to seeing a sight like that on his doorstep!
