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.

I think she has!

I hope her son’s friend’s mum is fine with her posting photos of her small child - and naming her - on a public FB page

(alongside her washing drying next to the table - how aspirational!)

Yep, she has deleted the questions which to me is an admission she knows full well she has no basis to make the claims she was making. I say “was” because I’m pretty sure she’s tried to water it down by saying,

“Our brand is one of the most scientifically advanced Marine Collagens on the market, it has won multiple awards, and is the only collagen i've found with 8 types of collagen in.. (I've done lots of research) It also encourages your body to start reproducing more of its own”

unfortunately I didn’t take a screen shot of her original post so I’m not sure. I’ll have to check it against the other posts. She’s definitely added in “I’ve found” and “I’ve done lots of research”, which she presumably thinks trumps what was being asked for.

Why should whether someone is an FBO or not change how willing she is to share the evidence of what she claims? The evidence for any bot’s claims either exists or it doesn’t. She should ask HQ but it’s probably HQ who have told her to ignore it if she has asked.

She’ll have asked Yawn whose advice will have been to delete and block

It's through small steps such as those that the FLP victims turn into predators.

Exactly. I’m sure they start out with the best intentions to ‘share the products’ and bit by bit find themselves exaggerating and lying until you can’t tell pigs and humans apart (Orwell, 1945)

Omg that rally looks so grim - full of bots with their phones out trying to capture something worth sharing on social media

Does headband not qualify for rallies and things? I thought from her post she was also part of the 'diamond group' and after 10 years surely if you weren't qualifying for things you'd realise its not working?

The "Diamond Group" is basically Yawn's downlines. There have been more than you could count over the years, none of whom are at GR (except +1Bot).
Yawn has tagged her 'team' logo to what is actually a picture of the whole UK FLP contingent (including the country manager) showing how dire the situation is for FLP UK.

I’m sure all her minions think ‘I’ll be there next year!’

Yawn claims there are 25,000 people attending the global rally??!!

FFS! Yawn and her compulsive lying dodgy maths again.
The whole UK contingent, including 'plus ones' and the country manager accounts for a grand total of 17 people.
I know the UK is far from being the powerhouse it was in FLP, but given that FLP claims 'a presence' in 160 countries, the other countries would have to have an average of over 150 bots attending to get anywhere near this figure.
Quite apart from the fact that the conference hall clearly sits around a tenth of Yawn's claimed figure.
My guess is that she has just added a zero to the attendance figure and hoped it flies.

Anyone know what Nurse is up to?

Ubers +1 has gone 5k better and bigger than Yawn and is claiming 30k. So much competition between bots.
Looks like Yawn’s exbff is the only one to take her partner/husband. I bet he’s having the time of his life surrounded by all those narcissistic women.

Good news - the UK/Ireland/Iceland FBO page have posted the Zoom links for the next few days. Popcorn and a comfy beanbag at the ready for the cheque presentations. I hope to god they make the UK go up.

I think that enormous number must have been quoted by the dear leader and is the total number of bots who have ever signed up across the globe

@Wintersgirl I looked at Insta for the first time in a while as she seems to have abandoned FB (I might have been blocked). She seems to be giving a running commentary on her life with top tips such as “if you’re tired in the morning splash your face with cold water”. She is mentioning coaching and talks about the next stage of her training so it looks like she is shelling out for more.

No mention of FLP in recent days (that I could see) so that’s on the back burner again I guess. It looks like she’s possibly funding further coaching training from her job which was where the money came from to line Yawn’s pockets when she was focused on FLP. I suspect her return to nursing was appealing to Specsaver and I wonder if Nurse has had a failed attempt at selling FLP in her current workplace. I can’t imagine those places of work having much truck with either FLP or her brand of coaching.

For someone whose focus is on finding the easy option she hasn’t half made her life hard (and her future uncertain).

Ok thanks for that....talking of Specsaver bot, I take she didn't qualify for the GR?

Nope

Yawn is slagging off people with normal jobs again, by the way, how is that £200,000 Directors loan coming along Yawn? It must keep you awake at night along with your rotting thatched roof which is in desperate need of repair. I would LOVE someone to call her out on it...

Wonderful video of Yawn chatting in Ubers +1 story the infamous thigh gap is conspicuous by its abscence. I wonder if +1 reads this thread?

Lolling at the way Yawn and her ex BFF aren’t together at all - and Yawn doing a whole ‘look at me and my bestie’ performance with her +1 minion who she’s taken along as a fangirl

Yawn never really left school did she?

New Fred

Yay for New Fred! Desperate to see the full top 1-20 countries, I can't imagine the UK is anywhere near.
