I see her latest scam is a ‘poverty killer’

hmmm

There’s no way she’ll be speaking at that event. I’m surprised they haven’t altered it already

Interesting that Tractor Bot's post has all the lower part blurred out including the names (other than hers which I blocked out)

Oh yawn, yawn, yawn, yawn...just stop eh love. You haven't made 1000's of people successful in bizniz. I doubt highly your website has been complimented as it's shockingly shit. Your post has been up for hours and not one person has liked it You silly Billy.

Spongebobette · 13/10/2024 17:37

Hmm interesting

OhMyGiddyAunt · 13/10/2024 18:32

In fact, looking at Tractor Bot's post again, even the Forever Living name is blurred out and is not mentioned in her post or hashtags 🤔

Hmm....curiouser and curiouser .....

YouOKHun · 13/10/2024 19:00

@OhMyGiddyAunt Tractor Bot has blurred out a product picture, a shot of three random bots/stock photo of three women and a photo of Mr Scamaloupolis. They must surely have been told to separate their own promotional activity from direct reference to FLP. Why would a desperate FLP bot remove reference to FLP by choice? Could it be that the Truth in Advertising report on income claims made by FLP & their bots around the world was not easy to brush off?

£22 Bot hasn't mentioned that she is speaking at the tent event on a cold Wednesday night. In fact, apart from mentioning FLP in her post about the breast cancer charity and FLP being official partners she hasn't mentioned FLP at all. BTW she clearly hasn't been told to correct that blatant lie about being official partners even though the charity contacted FLP about her specific post. It shows how much FLP cares about the lying that goes on in their name if they think they can get away with it. HQ removed their own reference to the charity but didn't tell £22 Bot to do the same.

Or perhaps FLP don’t want any public facing posts (e.g. the posts not contained within the FBO communications) to have Yawn in them even if they will wheel her out for the odd “I lost 6.5 stone using something prescribed C9” training. Tractor bot feels she can’t just scrub Yawn’s face out so just keeps herself in focus and gets rid other everything else. Doesn’t explain the FLP logo being obscured. Curious!

Yawn is either having a joke with us or she is tragically un-self aware ...

Perhaps she’s being aspirational, or kidding herself? She certainly isn’t kidding us!

Spongebobette · 14/10/2024 08:56

It’s another copy and paste something she found on the internet

like all her content, nothing original

Contraryjane · 14/10/2024 11:46

Poor My Yawn. When he’s not out on his j.o.b, he has to listen to her nagging him to help her spend hours trawling for bottom-clenching f**kwittery crap, and thinking up ideas for the next ghastly workshop thingy.

PieonaBarm · 14/10/2024 12:19

The size of the cardigan/blanket she's wrapped herself in this morning you'd think Yawn might think about manifesting putting the heating on.

ticktock19 · 14/10/2024 12:37

The forever FBO uk, Ireland, Iceland etcetc page has just released Septembers business builder top 20 lists and the yawns are unsurprisingly not mentioned on any of them - she's definitely got the boot

Spongebobette · 14/10/2024 12:56

re the fact that one bot has left a post up naming a breast cancer charity and using their logo, this is from that charity:

‘Please rest assured that we have sent this organisation a cease and desist and the legal team are dealing with it’

of course the main FBO page amended their post very quickly - but are they using the ‘INDEPENDENT’ business owners excuse I wonder or have they in fact got no system in place to check whether their bots are compliant?

YouOKHun · 14/10/2024 14:24

@Spongebobette that's a much stronger and more formal statement from the charity than I was expecting. They won't like the health claim that FLP has attached to their deodorant either as it could look like the charity is endorsing the FLP deodorant as "safe" to use over other products.

I wonder if the charity sent a communication to £22 Bot as well or whether they consider her to be a rep of FLP and so assume that FLP will put her right? I hope they hold FLP to account for what £22 Bot has done as we know that none of these Bots are independent and all take their lead from FLP.

Spongebobette · 14/10/2024 16:08

Interesting isn’t it - the official FB page acted so quickly and they may think that doing that and sending out an email to FBOs is enough

but what if the FBOs continue to use the name and logo? Who is responsible? Can head office say they’ve done their duty?

Sugarplum48 · 15/10/2024 08:27

Yawn claims she's made over 4k from tiktok. Errrm well that's a big fat fucking lie. You bought your followers as 95% are bots and the post you make the claim on has had one singular like. Jesus wept, stop lying you tool.

Spongebobette · 15/10/2024 09:25

I think she probably sold quite a few C9 through her ‘I’ll send you some info’ responses when she was making the weight loss claims and people asked her how she did it

Sugarplum48 · 15/10/2024 09:59

The m9ney yawn has made on tiktok. Funny 4k she claims.

SnoogyWoo · 15/10/2024 10:11

Even if it was £4K it’s still not a lot for the time she’s been on it and the money she owes

Spongebobette · 15/10/2024 10:24

Btw the contrast between Nurse and Yawn is very pleasing

Nurse is naive and silly and got caught up in an MLM by all the promises and the fake success she saw portrayed
She’s still a bit of a sucker and is clinging on to her LoA and manifesting beliefs BUT she has returned to a proper job, for which she has training and experience, and seems to be settling in to a normal routine (despite all the comments about being glad it’s her last day of the week at work etc)
AND she’s found some real life friends, rather than the bloodsuckers in FL or the Coaching Academy - that’s really positive

in contrast, Yawn has nothing to fall back on and is doubling down on the nonsense that she peddled in her MLM but doesn’t have the captive audience of a downline. She doesn’t have a job to return to like Nurse did, so despite the fact that she WAS a lucky girl and got into Forever Living at just the right time when it was booming in the UK, in the long run Nurse is in a better place. Real job, real friends.

Sugarplum48 · 15/10/2024 10:46

She could always go back to the police. They're crying out for staff. Mind you she wasn't what you would call "popular ". Her nasty persona made sure of that.

BethanyBarleywater · 15/10/2024 11:10

Hi, long time no Bot watch. Did Yawn delete or just change the name of her FB as it took me a while to find it? Is this Unlucky Girls club still FL or is she still peddling that?

YouOKHun · 15/10/2024 11:47

I think Yawn would be hard pushed to get a job anywhere @Sugarplum48. She hasn't been employed for so long and the awareness and negative opinion of MLM is much higher these days so I think the flaw in her CV would be spotted. I can't imagine her being able to sell herself in the right way unless she can tone down the arrogance and not give away the fact she's only in the interviewees' chair as a last resort. If she did get a job I doubt she'd hold it down for long.

When she reaches the end of the road and Unlucky Girl Club has crashed and Uber has fenced her off from a return to full time FLP scamming, I think her spin could be "I've decided to take early retirement which is a privilege my NWM career has given me". Then she will lie low, crying over the injustice and failing to adjust to a life off social media. A sign of her rehabilitation would be if, a couple of years down the line, you spotted her behind the reception desk at the local white Rangey dealership (though she might have to work out of the Yawnsville area to avoid people she knows).
