On this thread we are botwatchers - watching multi level marketing bots and exposing their manipulations and misleading claims

Oooo I've seen there's threads but never joined. Marking my place here!

Thanks @Spongebobette, checking in for the next chapter

Thanks for the new thread!

@YouOKHun no, no downlines went with her, maybe one or two but I don't think so - it's not obvious she has any downline at all now. A couple of local ones looked into it but realised there's a hell of a difference between £15 of face cream and £90 of face cream. One had a poll about who to join and ended up joining Avon and gave it a decent go, but soon got a "real" job and she was truly botted banging on about BSAH all the time, young kids swallowed the kool aid and always tagging her "BSAH Bestie". This one voiced publicly that she was looking for a job about 9 months before BSAH pulled the plug, and very quickly went quiet on the subject and doubled down on her efforts with BSAH. She had thousands in stock when it folded. It was obvious the "top bot" had got to her. They're both still selling the last few items of stock they've got nearly 12 months later.

Thank you for the new thread, hun! 😉

Millionaire dick has finally blocked me. It's the only productive thing she's done.

Who's that?

OhMyGiddyAunt · 02/12/2024 07:40

Oooh that was close. Looks like I was Christmas shopping in the same place as Yawn yesterday.

Only, unlike Yawn, I didn't pose under the giant Christmas decoration in the middle of the shopping centre like a complete tit.

I can just imagine her shooing away all the kids that were running under it to get her shot.

Sugarplum48 · 02/12/2024 08:27

It's the silly tit pretending she's a witch. Silly Billy tries to pretend she's a millionaire but as we all know isn't. She's just another vile scam artist like the rest of them. Shame, l enjoyed telling her the truth.

Leaving my broomstick to place mark cheers for manifesting a new Fred

I had a stall at my local village hall Christmas fayre this weekend. Only a dozen or so stalls. All locals bar one who'd travelled 30ish miles to flog Usborne books. I felt really sorry for her as there was very low footfall and she sold nothing. So, she was down £10 for her table fee, £20? fuel, plus a whole day with her family.

Who follows Soft Focus Bot? Her product and income claims are quite something and I know she was very much a focus for the ASA when they upheld complaints against FMW. FMW then blamed one "rogue" distributor. Here is today's set of claims for Nutricode. It sounds legit doesn't it?!

I don't follow her but I follow one of her downlines who is currently shouting about losing 3stone on FM's version of Ozempic, a twice a day capsule that contains chromium 🙄.
I think the obvious truth is that she's been using Ozempic

That’s QUITE the claim!!

Yawn is manifesting her own obsolescence by telling people they can transform their life just by doing something for three minutes a day. The obvious conclusion is that there is no point paying her £22 for something so simplistic and no point paying her £22 for something making such big promises when it's so obviously flawed.

Clearly she is panicking at the lack of engagement and is trying anything to attract some attention but any post mentioning the Unlucky Club/manifesting is noticeably down on interaction compared to other posts. I think December will be the undoing of her new venture.

Mr Scamolpolous is going full on Timmy Mallett

@Spongebobette the tragedy is that when he takes the glasses off he's still Timmy Mallett. I'm very suspicious of the "zany" (Headband is in this category). There's often something sinister or controlling about the self appointed "fun" people. Same with the type of people who bully others and then say "it was just a harmless banter".

He's the Colin Huntoulopolis of the NWM world.

I hope it doesn’t involve polka dot swimming garments …

Hello bot watchers.

Not gonna lie, I do love a Nurse B&M haul story. I haven't quite figured out who else watches them or why!

Sugarplum48 · 02/12/2024 19:20

So is yawns free page now redundant? Absolutely no activity on it for over a week? I wonder what the next scam will be?

The company the BSAH joined wouldn’t happen to be the drink you add to Gin but with a K instead of a C would? Only the first add after you comment was a sponsored add for them 😀

PieonaBarm · 03/12/2024 06:24

@toomanyhobbies no not that one, she might have had more success with that one, the prices are lower!

I wonder if they have one of those ‘you don’t have to be crazy to work here, but it helps!’ signs in the office
