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.

When Nurse says ‘ an opportunity presented itself to me’ it’s a big red flag with MLM embroidered on it

I've been thinking that yawn has probably suggested she collar a load of colleagues into the FL weight loss nonsense OR suggested she flog FL while teaching her many many coaching clients to self love (and lose weight)

Serial Bot on my timeline has now joined Oriflame. I'd not heard of that one. She was at BSAH and before that Tropic and before that Virgin Vie I think...

YouOKHun · 08/02/2024 11:17

@Tupperwarelid ah yes, Oriflame is the main one hoovering up the BSAH bots. It’s Scandinavian in origin and I remember my friend’s mother selling it (late 1970s). It’s depressing watching someone going from one MLM to the other, each time thinking they need to do more and that the next MLM will be the success.

What is with specsaver constantly trying to copy yawn? The photo shop in that gym pic is dreadful. Does she think people are stupid?? And tge american lady giving her talk in the tent, blimey she doesn't paint a good picture of the company

Angrymum22 · 08/02/2024 14:07

She’s also got a black biker jacket ( as has her new recruit) it’s all very school girly.

Sugarplum48 · 08/02/2024 19:56

It's odd behaviour. Just be your own person

I'm really confused about utility warehouse, I've been at a job centre event this week for work, as stallholders everyone is either an employer or training provider. Utility warehouse had a stall, I'm really confused about them being allowed to be booked at a job centre careers event, aren't they an MLM?

definitelynotabot · 08/02/2024 20:04

They are ...

I have seen recruitment ads for back office/ support staff before though, is it possible this stall was for paid employment with the company, rather than recruiting distributors?

If it is recruiting distributors, how the heck has that been allowed?

YouOKHun · 08/02/2024 20:52

There used be an employment fair down in Weston-S-Mare (there still was last year) which is run by the Conservative MP for the area (John Penrose). They were always sure to invite UW along to pose as a legitimate employer. Last year I didn’t see UW but Avon was there. Unless they both have their HQ in WSM they are there to recruit into the MLM. Back in 2017 John Penrose wouldn’t correspond about MLMs posing as legitimate employers. My guess is he doesn’t care.

Yawn has recruited 8 new bizniz partners already this year....wonder how long any of them will last?

Is that actually 8 or 4 sets of twins?
Or 2 sets of quadruplets?

She's absolutely hyper on her stories today. Like major desperation hyper.

There has been lots of rain in Yawnshire, maybe the thatch has finally failed!

Rumour over on Ms S’s page that Messiah has been arrested in Dubai. Source is one of his inner circle. I hope it’s correct, he certainly deserves it!

If it carries on raining Yawn will command Mr Yawn to build an ark. No doubt Yawn will paint it with Frenchic, tastelessly finished with a gold leaf skid mark.

The bots they went in two by two Hoorah! Hoorah!
The bots they went in two by two Hoorah! Hoorah!
The bots they went in two by two (with two sets of quads and an octet too)
And they all went into the ark
For to get out of the rain.

He’s not having a good Friday is he?

YouOKHun · 09/02/2024 20:33

@BSintolerant no, not a good Friday for him. Let’s hope he is giving up his freedom for Lent.

It’s not clear what he’s been arrested for (if it’s correct), they think it could be for something the offends in Dubai which it can’t be MLM as that’s fine as long as it diddles only those outside Dubai. Perhaps he’s been caught with a half a bag of Bronnley English Fern talcum powder, with the other half up his left nostril? Anyway, throw away the key I say.

YouOKHun · 09/02/2024 20:59

Yawn’s pic with her dog - to add to her woes she looks like she’s developed a pair of saggy bollocks and she’s standing in a way that looks as if they may be troubling her. There’s definitely something pendulous going on.

I have left my glasses upstairs and can’t be bothered to get them so do let me know if I’ve got that wrong.

Poo bag holder I think but I had to zoom in to check otherwise I would agree with you 🤣

Wow, you're not wrong there. She's manic with a side order of crazy.

Is it fake excitement trying to stir up some interest in the bizzniss or is she seriously losing the plot.

Angrymum22 · 10/02/2024 04:27

That photo is so unfortunate. I suspect that they are strategically placed to disguise the fact that the thigh gap is rapidly disappearing.

Sugarplum48 · 10/02/2024 10:15

Didn't yawn make out she had 100's if not thousands of requests to join her gut clean club but in fact it's only got 48 members? Does she have some sort of number blindness?

As my much loved and now departed Grandad would have said "She tells 'em and believes 'em!"
