Botwatch 86!!! the continuing saga of MLM. When 99.6% of people joining MLM are destined to lose money is that an opportunity or a scam?

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

There's a plastering business logged as being in the Thatch if you look on Google maps... What's that all about?!

Crikey, I didn't realise she had a house so close to her either, she edits that very carefully in her videos

As others have said , Yawn lives by The Jockey.

According to Google maps her house is a 0.5mile / 10min walk from the motorway (along the busy A-road that she lives on)

Having had a quick nosey at that plastering business then I think it's been wrongly located to the yawn house unless they did work there??

She also has a couple of 1960s bungalows pretty close behind her house which presumably block the view of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon or herds of wildebeests (to misquote Basil Fawlty), or whatever it is she claims is on her doorstep.

The constant bending of the truth whether only slight or to a ridiculous extent must be such a habit that she actually believes her own fiction now. It must be part of the reason she gets so angry when someone dares to state the reality.

BTW here's the view from my back door, just of the garden shed (keeping it real).

Scambolina still babbling bollocks

Ah thanks. I can’t keep up! There is a house by the Royal Oak with the same name and postcode as the Yawns as per their Companies House officer/director entries, although it didn’t look thatched.

The green gated house has a completely different name, and is in a completely different postcode, but I can spot the mouldy thatch through the trees.

So why is the Yawns’ address shown incorrectly for each of them at Companies House?

Her back door faces the wrong way for that view. Incidentally the best view of the Malvern Hills is from the cricket pitch where my DS plays.

@FungusTap I believe that is the Yawns former address. For some reason they have not updated the records held with Company House for 8 years or so.

@FungusTap a good question. I think they rented the address shown at CH but have had 10 years to update their correspondence address. I don't know if her parents or a family member own that house, I don't think so. If it belongs to someone unknown to them I imagine they'd rather not have their address attached to some company or other.

Oh dear, seems the yawns have committed a offence!!

They do provide a registered address (the dodgy spa town accountants). I think the offence applies to not giving a correct registered address @Sugarplum48, though I may be wrong. I'm sure she doesn't want to give away her address in case she is deluged with knitted angels

Yeah I think this company has been used by the Yawn's at some point, nothing personally to do with Mr Yawn at all.

Yawn is whinging about jury service preventing her from doing the things she needs to do in January. It's good to know that the legal system can really stand in the way of fraudulent and deceptive business practices by preventing her from doing a dishonest days work.

I suspect she is actually more worried about stepping outside her NWM comfort zone as she is asking what to expect. She should take heart that the small allowance could give her a serious daily uplift in her income. If she is not sure what to expect in court she could ask Divorce Bot who will be able to give her first hand information about what it's like to be in a court and what it's like to be in the dock.

It's wrongly located on Google maps - they appear to be based at a nearby house

Looks like Urban Retreat are moving to an affiliate model. Only one 'leader' seems to have announced it, but if they've dropped the MLM side and can only make money through selling product then they've all pretty much had it.

@dickiedavisthunderthighs I don't trust the UR boss. He has always been desperate to move away from MLM but never has and I wonder if this time is any different. He seems to have disappeared from the UK and has some questions to answer due to his business relationship with the now completely AWOL Messiah. It can't be the right time to try again with the affiliate model can it?!

Has anyone heard of Wikaniko?

No but the name sounds MLM

So why did we make Wikaniko a Network Marketing company?
Because we knew it could
• Have more impact. Change more lives and Be an even greater force for positive change than just another e-commerce store. We knew that together, we could be part of impacting not just the products people used, but also their time and financial freedom. Their access to a like-minded and strong community. Together we could help empower people to be part of the solution and take charge of their earning opportunities. Together we could help more small business owners. And together we could help to change the perception of the network marketing industry far more than we ever could alone.
Because bringing about lasting positive change, doesn’t happen alone. It happens when we work together. And that is the MAJOR thing that both the eco-friendly space and Network Marketing have in common.

Translated:
Using the eco-friendly cover we realised that MLM would be a cheaper way to do business. We can move product by creating customers who believe they are Green business owners and avoid the cost of employing people. By telling people they are joining as eco warriors who are trying to improve lives it makes it easier for us to manipulate them and in turn for them to manipulate everyone they know while they share the opportunity to be an eco warrior. This "sharing" makes us money.

Using the eco friendly cover allows us to position ourselves more easily as "different from other NWM companies" and talk about financial freedom and all the other lies MLMs always tell recruits while appearing to be concerned for the planet not our pockets. If people end up out of pocket with back bedrooms full of eco products that go out of date and end up in un-eco-friendly landfill ...well ... who cares?

That's pretty much my interpretation @YouOKHun

Urgghhh you didn't manifest the amount of earrings you wanted. They were in a shop as stock items, you bought them. End off. Utter rubbish..

Why does EVERYTHING have to be manifested? It just sounds so silly...why can't she manifest herself 1 million pounds? Because it's bullshit that's why

Forget the earrings, WTF is going on with Yawn's neck. Needs a bloody good scrub by the look of it!

Yeah why not buy a lottery ticket and manifest a big win? That’s the logical extension of the belief Yawn is peddling
