She's no just done a post promoting Bondi Sands fake tan - its definitely getting weird.
I looked at Scotbots page earlier and the joint air rant has vanished but Scot's later single rant is still on there so it seems to be definitely yawn focused

ticktock19 · 28/04/2024 15:51

Now not no 🤦‍♀️

Uber’s friend has given her an UNT mug with a C shaped handle and now Mr Yawn has brought Yawn a cup of tea in an UNT mug with a C shaped handle.

Word of advice Huns, if you’re a network marketer make sure your friends and partners are laughing WITH you before you post such a “hilarious” mug related story.

Spongebobette · 28/04/2024 16:28

I wonder if that was directed at someone

Oooh that is all very weird, wonder what is going on. Something has been said, surely.

The fake tan link is a bit strange for her to post, too.

I thought the not showing/naming the brand thing was a technique to get people to ask what her business is. For new followers anyway. And so they don't just google it and find out it's a load of crap. 🤣

I had an acquaintance that did Arbonne and she never posted the name of her 'bizness' just lots of fabulous lifestyle posts to try and get people curious enough to ask what it was. If anyone ever asked in the comments she would just reply, 'I'll PM you hun.'

I’m pretty sure Yawn hasn’t covered the name up before - there were photos of collagen last week showing the brand and it’s all over Uber’s post.

YouOKHun · 28/04/2024 16:47

Whatever she’s doing she appears to be working outside her alleged 10 hour working week!

YouOKHun · 28/04/2024 17:05

I can’t see Scotbot’s posts (could be an issue my end) but it feels like there’s some rearranging going on, either arse covering or ahead of some attempt by the UK to shape shift. I was going to have a look to see what she’s deleted.

I think there’s a cooling off between her and Yawn. I have a feeling that expensive airfare has come between them. I bet the FLP logistics man who booked the flight so happily has now billed the UK and the CM doesn’t want to pick up the tab, especially now it’s clearly established that it’s Yawn’s fault. Why would they pay for it, she is an independent business working “with” FLP so surely this is her cost?

PieonaBarm · 28/04/2024 17:09

Yawns meant to be off to Cardiff tomorrow to promote the amazing opportunity so it will be interesting to see if she goes and if she does, what her SM content is

I thought Castle would have cornered the Cardiff market back in 2015...

Scotbot has numerous collagen posts and india posts over the last couple of weeks....all of them showing forevers name and I'm pretty sure that they were copied from Yawns posts

notgettinganyyounger · 28/04/2024 17:59

Headband also expanding to Cardiff. Not sure if it's the same trip yawn is on.

ItsTapasTime · 28/04/2024 18:01

Just catching up. Luckily, I have a life ( and a job) where I can dip in and out of SM.
A couple of observations from headband and Scot bots latest posts.
To be a FL bot, you need to post….

  1. a photo of the zoom call to the minions.
  2. an advert for the overpriced collagen sh*t
  3. something about mental health. ‘Be kind x’, ‘be strong❤️

It’s rather pathetic. I’d love to know what SM training they get in that cold old tent in the midlands.

OhMyGiddyAunt · 28/04/2024 18:53

@ItsTapasTime .... with point 1 you missed out "use the photo twice within the same post to make it look like you have double the amount on minions" 😁

😂yes! Spot the twins

Butterflyfluff · 28/04/2024 19:08

Just looked back through Yawn’s posts this year - not a single reference to FL now.

Even TV screens at her presentations, which originally had FL slides have been doctored.

Meanwhile the other bots are merrily plastering Marine Collagen, complete with FL logo, all over the place, along with lots of GR images still.

I’d love to know what’s happened.

YouOKHun · 28/04/2024 19:17

I think it’s because of this. The screen shot is FLP’s response to a letter they received from the legal director of TiA. They say they are addressing each individual example TiA sent to them. The only UK example TIA sent to FLP was Yawn.

@Butterflyfluff perhaps the FL accountants have called in the directors loan? I’m not sure how she has got away with it for so long (note: asked financial director at work, as I have no knowledge of how these things work. She thinks it’s all highly suss and HMRC will be looking into it.)

Spongebobette · 28/04/2024 20:02

Hmm perhaps she’s been asked to remove all reference to FL so the TiA stop bothering HQ

OP posts:
hurlyburlygirly · 28/04/2024 20:41

SACKED?

Let's hope so. I think the likeliest option is that she's been told to lie low while they investigate.

Butterflyfluff · 28/04/2024 20:55

I really do hope it is to do with the airport rant.

No company can support their employees or associates calling a business as big as VA, ‘cunts’ on a social media post directly linking their own business - not least because Yawn was entirely in the wrong and FL and VA probably have a contract.

I only thought HMRC could demand payment of the DL?

WisteriaLodge · 28/04/2024 21:19

Sorry being thick tonight but who are TiA?

YouOKHun · 28/04/2024 22:38

@WisteriaLodge Truth in Advertising, like Which? Magazine and Trading Standards with teeth, all rolled into one. And they actually monitor MLM. I wonder why we don’t have an organisation like that here?

WisteriaLodge · 28/04/2024 23:44

Ah I see, so they've been watching the bots making income claims? Or one bot in particular?
