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’s the worst of them all

Contraryjane · 07/04/2024 20:07

Yawn has one of those horseshoe pillows attached to her belt. Clearly expecting an uncomfortable flight in Cattle.

Angrymum22 · 07/04/2024 21:38

So Yawn is at Heathrow, normal direct flight to Delhi is 8 hrs even with the time difference that would mean she will arrive a day early. I can only assume she is on a stop over flight that will arrive on Tues morning so over 30hours of travelling.

Angrymum22 · 07/04/2024 21:41

Big social media fail You can clearly see her phone number written on her big yellow case🤣

Butterflyfluff · 07/04/2024 21:52

Didn’t she say she was visiting the Taj Mahal tomorrow? Maybe she is getting there earlier than Tuesday?

More perplexed how it’s taken about 10 hours to get to Heathrow! 😂

YouOKHun · 07/04/2024 22:40

@Butterflyfluff I think her wording was misleading. According to FLP the activities day is Thursday by which time they will be feeling like a long coach ride 🤢. I think she meant to say I’ll be in India on Monday. I wouldn’t put it past FLP to stick the bots on the cheapest possible grim flights.

10 hours to get to Heathrow in a small hatchback with the yellow suitcase strapped to the roof and Mr Yawn going to Luton airport by mistake first?

YouOKHun · 07/04/2024 22:56

@Angrymum22 There are a couple of flights overnight tonight which are direct. I reckon she’s arranged to get there a day early so she doesn’t step off the plane and have no time to prep herself/get some beauty sleep.

Spongebobette · 08/04/2024 06:37

Looking forward to seeing how many from the UK actually turn up

I know Yawn and ex BFF will be there - awks if it’s a small contingent

Spongebobette · 08/04/2024 06:40

Oh I see that the other twin mum now describes herself as a ‘property investor using network marketing to fund an ever growing portfolio’

Spongebobette · 08/04/2024 06:53

Uber is going but not taking her children (she used to always parade them on stage with her)

The only bots I've seen mention it are Uber, Uber's companion who I'm really surprised didn't qualifty herself, Yawn, Yawn's minion who gets the dubious +1, Bloodsucker and BFF. I'm sure ManBot will be there and possibly the newer PastorManBot who is using his church as a recruitment ground, the wanker.

I suspect that FL have chartered flights from the countries where they are more active. The handful of UK bots may have been flown to these countries to join the chartered flights. So she could be stopping over anywhere for 24 hrs in a European airport.

Twentytwentyhindsight · 08/04/2024 11:17

Yes, even UK FLP head office are unusually silent about Global Rally.
It used to be massively hyped and seen as a big recruitment tool, as well as a mythical prize to get the bots spending working harder, but they are very quiet about it these days.
I expect they don't want to get UK bots' expectations up in case they compare the promise with the reality, which is that very few have qualified and of those that have, only a couple can expect more than a sad yoga mat. I also expect they don't want inquisitive bots to check on the accommodation provided on this 'trip of a lifetime'.

Spongebobette · 08/04/2024 11:47

Oh yes, I do t see any mentions at all!

Spongebobette · 08/04/2024 11:47

*don’t

Spongebobette · 08/04/2024 11:56

Wow, remember the glory days with a large UK contingent and all the build up and countdowns!

it’s quite cheering to see how far it’s all shrunk

Angrymum22 · 08/04/2024 13:14

Yawn is apparently on a train to Agra to see the Taj Mahal. Why would you spend 8 hrs on an overnight flight and follow it with a 3Hr train journey then traipse round a busy tourist spot followed by another train journey back to the hotel you are not booked into until tomorrow. Particularly when there is a complimentary trip to the same spot later in the week fully organised.
Either she has paid for an extra night at the hotel, although no obligatory photos yet or we are being fed a bit of a lie.
Her travelling companion is very quiet.

Whereas Uber flew out first/business class with Virgin.

terrywynne · 08/04/2024 14:02

The bots do lie but that doesn't mean we need to try and catch them out on everything! The posts clearly say they are going to a hotel and the Taj Mahal tomorrow (and presumably then back to the GR hotel). And maybe they want to do one of the other activities later in the week so chose to self travel the Taj Mahal.

I'm curious though - if the UK bots are in the same hotel as the global leadership team, does that mean it is the best hotel? In which case how bad are the ones not at the end of the runway with a view of a rubbish dump...

“Our brand is the MOST scientifically advanced Marine Collagen on the market, it has won multiple awards, is the only collagen with 8 types of collagen, and encourages your body to start to reproduce more of its own...In short, NO OTHER BRAND can compete”

Headband Bot has blindly posted the Marine Collagen post currently doing the rounds but unfortunately for her two posters are asking her to point them to the studies of the specific product that back up her claims. She’s playing for time and has been asked to get the link to the studies from FLP. She will probably try and ignore it or produce two PowerPoint slides from the Bot training she had. Perhaps the claims are in the training materials which would be useful to see as well.

Yep, for once she's been quite candid.

V good question about the hotel. My guess is that they're all of a similar quality but that one is closest to the venue.

YouOKHun · 08/04/2024 15:19

@terrywynne yes she has been relatively candid. I think the Bali Mystery has brought out the sleuth in us!

Sleaze has hired a nice car and filmed him and Wig swanning about. Someone has slightly spoilt it by saying ‘you can hire nice cars there can’t you?’, so he has had to add something along the lines of ‘trying before buying’. He and Wig have done another promotional video of them dining in an empty restaurant. There’s no pointing at expensive boats so it doesn’t trump that all time classic but Wig is doing her rabbit in the headlights/plank of wood delivery again which is mildly diverting/painful.

But but but she’s says ‘I’ve done a lot of research’

NormalForNuneaton · 08/04/2024 16:40

Yawn's +1 hasn't posted anything and doesnt appear on the "India girl gang" photo.... very strange.

Her last post was 2 days ago showing off her holiday nails
