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.

Yawn is telling the world of FB for the 11th billionty time about why she started FL , I know the story now without even having to read the 15 paragraphs 🤣 surely even she gets bored of rolling the same old crap out , it’s literally rinse and repeat till the end of time .

Spongebobette · 19/02/2024 10:43

Let me guess
childminder
huge credit card debt
couldn’t afford mortgage
about to lose house

(the story gets more exaggerated every time she tells it)

Tinkabell02 · 19/02/2024 10:51

@Spongebobette spot on !! Although the extra exaggeration added on todays drivel consists of , it took £10,000 to set up her childminding business ! Not sure I’ve heard that one before 🙈

Spongebobette · 19/02/2024 11:09

it wouldn’t be Yawn if she didn’t add on one extra lie or exaggeration each time

PieonaBarm · 19/02/2024 11:59

She didn't mention that she was "in the Police"? She's slipping!!

MumHereAgain2023 · 19/02/2024 12:19

Fascinating read

YouOKHun · 19/02/2024 12:39

You can tell what she’s being told to emphasise by the shift in the story she tells. I bet the bots are being told to emphasise that it’s a cheap and easy way to start a business during the CoL crisis. So now she is going to tell everyone that she knows what it’s like to invest in a business that turns out to be unsatisfactory and FLP is the answer because it’s “guaranteed”.

She knows people don’t have much money at the moment so now is the time to make starting a non-MLM business look as difficult and expensive as possible. She just adjusts the lies to fit the vulnerabilities of today’s crop of victims. No way did she spend £10k on a short-lived childminding business.

Has anyone been following Wig and Sleaze’s latest adventures?!

They’re in Dubai to celebrate the “really a collapse/ rug pull but dressed up as a new successful phase” of their scam AI mlm grift.

I thought it was a perfect example of smoke and mirrors when he shared a big auditorium of people and the screen showing the name of the property robot scam. Clearly the event/gathering is for something entirely different and they’ve just paid for the single screen of advertising! Gotta love the audacity!

SunflowerVibes · 19/02/2024 12:57

Also wondered if the higher up UR Leader Hun whose first name is the same as that of Michelle Keegan’s character in Corrie has been featured here?

She loves to display ostentatious signs of wealth, holidays and lavish gestures from her husband. Though funnily, her gift to all her team were little poundshop key rings over Xmas which was quite funny.

She seems to have had a gastric band some time ago but clearly enjoys the finer things in life so seemingly regaining weight back at an alarming rate. That’s quite interesting as I thought it was a permanent change to make stomach smaller…

YouOKHun · 19/02/2024 13:04

Having said that, the audience is quite small on Yawn’s biz posts on FB lately. C9 season is over, the weight loss content is old news and if FB is anything to go by, there isn’t nearly enough interest to sustain her “business” over 2024. I wonder if the rags to riches rhetoric has fallen out of fashion and is alienating rather than enticing these days?

Despite all the noise being generated by the new CM nothing has really changed and Yawn and other bots similar to her are having to try ever harder to achieve less. Her lies can’t mitigate this truth.

Spongebobette · 19/02/2024 14:32

I know someone who had a gastric sleeve nearly 2 years ago and rapidly lost weight - but recently seems to have either stalled or has put on weight and looks quite overweight - this surprised me as after 2 years I’d expected to see her at her ideal weight

It’s a huge ordeal to go through if there is a substantial risk of the weight returning…

It’s also interesting that the agenda of these Huns is all based on self love, accept yourself etc and they are often the first to tout weigh loss and taking arguable extreme measures to achieve it. Or at the very least, make it appear that being super slim os a marker of success, I.e Yawn being a prime example!

Wintersgirl · 19/02/2024 16:35

Zero overheads too...unless she ran a nursery, she'll be saying it's that next!

Spongebobette · 19/02/2024 16:46

stairgates must be very expensive in her area!!

ticktock19 · 19/02/2024 18:21

I'm sure it's of no surprise to anyone here but Specsavers has also done a sob story like Yawn about why FL saved her life

Spongebobette · 19/02/2024 18:34

She’s not very good at writing though, is she.

ticktock19 · 19/02/2024 19:00

lol...I agree. She also fails to acknowledge that she's at the estate agents too now so FL isn't providing the lifestyle she wants

Spongebobette · 19/02/2024 20:38

Well I hope she’s not responsible for writing any copy at the estate agents

SunflowerVibes · 20/02/2024 10:06

Yawn’s birthday shout out to her mum is the height of narcissism! She makes 3 points in that short post and somehow, they are all about her!!! 🤣

Spongebobette · 20/02/2024 13:34

Why does Castle constantly film her parents when they are unaware? Same way she treats her children. They exist to help her create ‘amusing’ content for her social media.
Even the ‘nice’ thing she does for them are only to promote herself

Sugarplum48 · 20/02/2024 15:19

I can confirm yawn ran the business from her house. She did not spend 10k. She drove a clapped out 2nd hand car and had a few stairgates put in. She was a dreadful child minder whose idea of keeping the kids occupied was taking them to tesco to buy booze. She isn't what you would call maternal or loving so it surprised everyone when she was a child minder. It was a very short lived career.

YouOKHun · 20/02/2024 15:49

Bruv and Castle have treated their parents to tickets to a famous singer’s concert in Germany and while they were at it they got tickets for themselves. Who is treating who exactly? All mentioned to imply their success and largesse; so misleading to the remaining followers. The planner business didn’t buy those tickets any more than it paid for anything else, and neither did the coaching, FLP, Scamversity, certificate printing biz, airBnB biz or anything else.

Sugarplum48 · 20/02/2024 16:55

But @YouOKHun Castle is very rich. Her play skool graph said so!!!

Angrymum22 · 20/02/2024 20:52

Having watched Yawns latest story, is it any wonder that A&Es are overflowing with idiots who think it’s a good idea to ride their bikes over bumpy hills in the dark. In addition to wasting paramedic and hill rescue volunteers time. I don’t think we have mountain rescue locally😂
