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.

Lol! That clue made me giggle! Thank you 🙏

Oh my days, what photoshopping skills... not!!

Don't give up the day job, Yawn.
Sorry, biznizz.

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

@Twentytwentyhindsight Ha! I’d forgotten about that so I went off to YouTube to remind myself. If you’ve got such good recall of Not the Nine O’clock News then I’m afraid you’re definitely old enough to remember the Readybrek adverts!

@Butterflyfluff yes, I noticed that Yawn has a well lit area south of her waistband. Let’s face it, it’s a fiddly area to photoshop (I imagine) and she’s best off wearing a skirt so she doesn’t need to give the Readybrek glow to her foof and can stop editing at the hemline of the skirt.

Butterflyfluff · 09/04/2024 19:00

A ‘glowing Ready Brek foof’ is not a phrase I imagined reading or typing when I woke up this morning, but such is life! 😂

🤣🤣 @YouOKHun

We all know Yawn’s pants are on fire from all that lying so a burning bush is only to be expected. I wonder if it will start talking to her?

Wintersgirl · 09/04/2024 22:16

Is Yawn staying at the airport hotel?

YouOKHun · 10/04/2024 00:40

@BSintolerant 😂🤣

@Butterflyfluff I’m always happy to lower the tone and BSIntolerant is always on hand to lower the tone just a bit more!

definitelynotabot · 10/04/2024 06:28

Can't wait for the rally proper... waiting for answers!

Which countries is UK bring amalgamated with (already amalgamated with Ireland and Icelsnd?)?

Where is The Tent going to be pitched when the Manor gets sold?

How much further down the list can the UK actually go?

NormalForNuneaton · 10/04/2024 07:37

It'll be interesting how they put a positive spin on it all

NormalForNuneaton · 10/04/2024 07:44

Meanwhile Yawns +1 has had to presumably stump up for a flight there after her initial flight to Heathrow was cancelled.

Wonder if FL supported her through the rebooking process, covered her extra expenses or will reimburse her for the missed trip to the Taj Mahal?

Spongebobette · 10/04/2024 07:47

I still can’t see anything on FL’s pages on Facebook about the Global Rally.

so weird.

Shortpoet · 10/04/2024 08:22

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 ;)

I’m old enough to remember the Ready brek advert, but was young enough at the time that I was bitterly disappointed that it didn’t give you a literal glow outline after eating it!

My first lesson in how advertising lies to us.

(Much like MLM bots many years later with the telltale photoshop glow around their nether regions).

There’s a couple of images on the “FLP - The Business” FB page. None of our pin-up girls sadly, the page seems to cater to the Asia & Far East villians and victims.

Whatever you do don’t look at the first tagged image (January 2018) on that page, it will make your heart sink. I would guess it’s from the Philippines and shows a young family at home in a very small overcrowded room……..proudly holding up some FL products.

Bless them, I hope they have escaped the scam by now.

Spongebobette · 10/04/2024 09:06

Oh yes that’s the international page. Usual rah rah rah

but it’s like it’s not even happening on the UK FBO page and products page

Don't they have to pay for their own flights anyway? I'm sure I saw it in small print on the GR website

Spongebobette · 10/04/2024 09:50

No the flights are paid for (unless you are a non-qualifier who wants to attend)

Twentytwentyhindsight · 10/04/2024 09:51

I think all qualifiers get their flights paid and a '+1'.
Yawn's minion is having an accelerated course in the promise vs. the reality of MLMs. What was going to be a free trip turns into an expensive fiasco, and a visit to the Taj Mahal is replaced by endless 'trainings' and other brainwashing sessions.

YouOKHun · 10/04/2024 09:52

For all the usual crap from the bots such as today’s post from Yawn that she is now “in five star luxury at Aero City” there is no covering up the silence from FLP UK about an event they would have milked for all it was worth not so long ago, not just during the event but in the weeks leading up to it. The silence is deafening isn’t it @Spongebobette?

It will be interesting to see what countries are amalgamating and which HQs are being sold. As Bloodsucker says “to be replaced by a new shiny purpose-build HQ”, but where? Holland? It feels like the avoidance of the global rally on FLP UK’s social media is to distract their current victims away from the fallout from negative news they know will be delivered and not just to distract them from the UK’s lacklustre performance.

Tupperwarelid · 10/04/2024 09:54

Why is Yawn making such a big deal
of her +1 flying out by herself? Loads of women travel all round the world by themselves.

I know, I bet she thinks she's smashing those glass ceilings...bore off Yawn, women have been doing it for years long before you, myself included.

Spongebobette · 10/04/2024 10:09

Wow I’m amazed by how different she looks on the insta stories especially when she turns to the side

Spongebobette · 10/04/2024 10:14

And she’s just claimed she qualified ‘at a very high level’ 🤣

Twentytwentyhindsight · 10/04/2024 10:30

If Yawn is claiming she qualified at a 'very high level' (we all know she didn't), she's going to have problems explaining the sad yoga mat cheque.
My guess is that, once again, most UK bots will not be revealing the fabulous amounts on their cheques out of modesty...

Spongebobette · 10/04/2024 10:33

Yes that’s the new showing off isn’t it ‘I’m not going to flaunt my huge cheque’
