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.

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

"Other twin mum" also has a partner (or, I suspect, now ex-partner as I've seen very little evidence of since she moved into the newly renovated house that was going to be sold ) who has had a succession of busineses and properties , who has also written a book about building a multi-million pound turnover from your business.

Said partner is certainly punching above his weight if you get my drift

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

Oh, law of reaction ....Yawns just posted that her +1 seems to have had some sort of flight delay.

She hasn't bailed on her then 😆

Butterflyfluff · 08/04/2024 17:29

It’s as much about what doesn’t get posted as what does, isn’t it?

The flight was clearly cattle class - hence no photo.

The view photo of the view from the hotel is clearly not the one from Yawn’s room - hence the closed curtains.

I’m actually surprised she’s admitting to sharing a room - in this day and age it’s virtually unheard of to expect work colleagues to bunk up together.

ticktock19 · 08/04/2024 17:41

+1 bot has just posted that BA delayed her flight so she missed the connecting flight so she's on her way now...I wouldn't be crying if I were her. 25hrs in cattle class sounds horrendous esp with only a shit stick of aloe for deodorant

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...

Sorry I only caught the brief post in Yawns story where she was sat on a train going to the TM there was no mention of a hotel.
I suppose after last years radio silence and weird behaviour I’m suspicious of anything Yawn does or say.

NormalForNuneaton · 08/04/2024 18:10

Check out the hotel room Uber's +1 has posted on her Insta story which apparently has a view if the Taj Mahal from the balcony.

It really shows up Yawns room as the cheap , low budget option it obviously is 😆

ticktock19 · 08/04/2024 19:50

Wow...that is looking like a beautiful room in comparison to Yawns.

Angrymum22 · 08/04/2024 21:04

Just watching the welcome ceremony they posted. When my DS was in India last year they had a similar ceremony which also included paper garlands. When he bent down for the woman anoint his forehead she accidentally set fire to the garland with the candle. The garland rapidly went up in flames , fortunately one of his friends pulled it off before he went up in flames.

Uber is staying in a very different hotel with an uninterrupted view of the TM as opposed to Yawns interrupted view. She does like to rub her minions noses in it though. I have to admit that if I was travelling all that way for free I would defo pay the extra for a really luxurious hotel. Very much a missed opportunity for Yawn to market her success.

I'm lost. The TN is 125 miles from New Delhi. Or have I got my cities mixed up.

They've gone to a hotel near the Taj Mahal to visit it this morning.

Presumably they then head back to the airport hotel for the rally.

Uber and +1 are continuing to post more photos of their stunning hotel on Instagram stories. Yawn however has avoided hotel pics

MrsGlennBulb · 09/04/2024 07:44

FLHQ were recommending a particular local travel company to the bots, to be used for any pre or post GR excursions. Putting ideas into their heads, then taking a commission, thus fleecing these mugs a little more.

ticktock19 · 09/04/2024 09:03

Yawn has completed her Diana pose

BSintolerant · 09/04/2024 10:34

I wonder if Yawn’s Diana pose will serve as a poignant memory of FL’s last days of operation in the UK. 😉

NormalForNuneaton · 09/04/2024 10:55

I'm surprised the amazingly shallow Yawn didn't use the one photo of her in front if the Taj Mahal to point out her thigh gap.

I thought one of the comments from a minion was quite ironic ...."Enjoy the moment".
How is it possible to enjoy any moment like that when you're constantly trying to work out how to use it as recruitment/scamming aid, taking "publicity" photos for your social media posts, spending hours editing photos/reels etc

Wintersgirl · 09/04/2024 11:19

Wow, Uber's room is gorgeous....missed out there Yawn!

Zoom in and those legs have been photoshopped. Imagine, you're at a bucket list destination and you're worried about how your legs look in your Primark leggings.

Has anyone told Yawn that in order to have a thigh gap your feet have to be close together? Everyone's got a thigh gap when you stand with feet apart, even the people on my 600lb life have one if they stand with their legs wide apart ffs..

Twentytwentyhindsight · 09/04/2024 14:03

Ah, but do they having a glowing photoshop halo around the outline of their legs?

Or light that extends higher than any thigh gap ever should! 😂

YouOKHun · 09/04/2024 16:27

Yawn can now say she has backpacked across India. It might be worth her looking at a map and seeing that spending a few hours in a bus being driven to see one site whilst carrying a handbag sized backpack does not the Lonely Planet Guide make. I suppose “crossing India” by being a passenger in a vehicle driven between two relatively close points is the same kind of scale problem as “a global business in the Yawnsville area”.

YouOKHun · 09/04/2024 17:06

@Twentytwentyhindsight Yawn’s Taj Mahal shot looks like a vintage Readybrek advert (if you’re old enough to remember that; I’m sure you’re too young ;)

NormalForNuneaton · 09/04/2024 17:30

Uber and her +1 are rubbing Yawn and co's noses in it again .... they're getting a private transfer back to Delhi as they can't face the train. There's a wide divide (cavernous ravine!) between the budgets of Uber and Yawn

Ex-BFF has now arrived and also has a better hotel room.

ticktock19 · 09/04/2024 17:44

Child of the 70s here...never liked it though 😂😂

Twentytwentyhindsight · 09/04/2024 17:58

@YouOKHun I loved the Not The Nine O'Clock News 'Windscale Flakes' spoof.

Butterflyfluff · 09/04/2024 18:03

Could anyone possibly give me a clue as to Uber’s name please - I know who Yawn and Bloodsucker are?

Also, has anyone heard anything from a FL couple from the Midlands who did quite well back in the day - surname the same as a watery, hilly ‘District’ in the North West of England?
