The FL head office people know how to make the most of the free labour by making the likes of Yawn and 2Jags feel like celebrities

Yawn off to Scotland- at her own expense no doubt.
I soon have to spend a few weeks in Scotland. I have my travel, hotels and meals paid for. Will we see yawn eating meal deals in her car again this time?

Hi all, im new here and have seen the name “inteletravel” mentioned a few times but it’s getting out of hand on my IG with such ridiculous claims and people who already have money ( and an AMEX card ) who go on 10/15/20 holidays a year funded by god knows what are recruiting at a frightening pace and are promising willable income amongst other things.

im horrified and fascinated in equal measure how this crap is believed by so many people who have joined the person I follow and vaguely know.

i watched Dear Society on YT after being recommended on here much earlier in the thread. and it’s eye opening.

this may be something concentrated in my area which is the NW but its definitely a pyramid scheme. Anyone else heard much about them?

Yes, because she’s been on a real actual CATWALK!

And there’s me thinking that it was just the divider between two rows of banquettes.

6-7yrs ago FL would be doing theses launches in arenas. It’s incredible just how far they have fallen off the cliff.
And they would have charged an entry fee.

Yawn walking down the avenue of trees to success 😂
2 reactions from fellow bots, out of 1.4k view, that's hilarious! Yawn, nobody cares, you are a laughing stock

Twentytwentyhindsight · 22/05/2024 16:14

@Zoflorabore Inteletravel/PlanNet is indeed a pyramid scheme/MLM.

It first appeared on the radar of the Botwatch threads a few years ago, when some of our pet serial MLMers suddenly became travel agents who all seemed to spend more time recruiting other travel agents rather than actually booking any travel.

Not been paying it much attention of late, but I suppose the lifting of CoVid travel restrictions in the past couple of years will have given them a bit of a boost.

YouOKHun · 22/05/2024 18:44

Though the really weird thing about Inteletravel during Covid was that during a global travel ban it was one “travel” company that did really well! How very curious 🤔.

@Zoflorabore have you had a search on MN for Inteletravel/PlanNet Marketing? It’s been debated in the past on MN. It’s as dodgy AF. Back around the time they got their ABTA there were stories emerging of all sorts of backhanders. There was also a very high up travel bot, one of their “successes” who quit in disgust and went on to work out that as a top IT person she had been earning … drum roll … c.50p an hour. I can’t remember her details now as it must have been c2018. I too get the sense they’ve had quite a high profile lately and I wonder who their customers are as a lot of people are trying to manage costs at the moment and holiday plans are on hold. So perhaps they’ve had a recruiting drive to hoover up the people who think it will give them extra income?

dickiedavisthunderthighs · 22/05/2024 19:10

A tippy toppy got hoofed out of FM a few weeks ago and is now recruiting like mad into Inteletravel. The main problem for those who are selling the holidays rather than the pyramid is that they get their commissions about 6 months after booking a holiday, and in the meantime the business takes a huge monthly fee off them. There are some great homeworking travel outfits, but this aint one of them.

Butterflyfluff · 22/05/2024 19:30

PMSL - Yawn has travelled all the way to Stirling and only 8 people have turned up - and she’s so stupid that she’s put that on FB

Twentytwentyhindsight · 22/05/2024 19:38

@Butterflyfluff I'm sure the line will now be 'look at the sacrifices I make, to provide the absolute best in-person leadership, and coaching to even the smallest, and most remote of my teams!' (maybe more commas for authenticity?)

It is all so, so desperate.

Spongebobette · 22/05/2024 20:10

Loooong drive for 2jags too

not really worth it, surely??

Is that the country manager who's turned up too??!! For 8 people?

Yawn has taken that unflattering side view of Scotbot on purpose

OP posts:
YouOKHun · 22/05/2024 20:43

Yawn says there were 12 in the end. That’s three more than filled out their survey about how great their collagen is. Only four of them are “guests” so that’s not great is it? It’s raining heavily there and some of them look a bit vacant and confused so perhaps they ran for some shelter and then Mrs Slocombe pounced on them in the foyer like a Trap Door Spider?

If Scamalopoulos is there then they were expecting A LOT more people. There’s no spinning this is there? They were meant to be having a Prosecco Piss Up “champagne Soirée” weren’t they? Hardly worth opening the bottle. It doesn’t matter how much Scamalopoulos micro-manages and pressurises the likes of Yawn and 2Jags, this can never be turned around.

Did Yawn actually drive to Scotland in the motorised roller skate that has replaced the Rangey? Mr Yawn must need to work; he’s got an MLM to finance.

All she needed to do was move a couple of feet or angle the camera and the woman in the foreground would have shielded Scotbot from the unflattering angle

Twentytwentyhindsight · 22/05/2024 21:03

Hope Scotbot's not reading this, I believe Yawn's kipping over on her sofa tonight.

Oh, the glamour of the globetrotting biz is leader...

Oh and they are in a hotel not at the university!

OP posts:
YouOKHun · 22/05/2024 21:13

Oh really @Spongebobette? They definitely said it was at the university, so were they booted out? Or not telling the truth about the venue (but why do that?). Perhaps the university did react?

Twentytwentyhindsight · 22/05/2024 21:14

Last minute change of venue due to the original one being warned about allowing abusive MLM on their premises?

YouOKHun · 22/05/2024 21:19

According to HQ on Monday, it was definitely at the university. They’ve been booted out haven’t they?! Ha! The champagne soirée was invitation only I see. It looks like they forgot to invite anyone. It’s certainly an exclusive event.

Look at Scotbot’s rather desperado live trying to drum up people to come
she names the hotel

I can’t look at Scotbot’s content anymore, I’m blocked!

YouOKHun · 22/05/2024 21:50

According to Uber’s Insta it looks like she may have railroaded some small gin distillery in the Yawnsville area into ruining gin by mixing it with Aloe. Hopefully he’s just humouring her because if he isn’t he can kiss goodbye to his business and his credibility.
