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

She’s the Ur-Upline

Here's what FLP UK has been sharing with bots and potential bots in Dublin. Presumably the grey area at the bottom is where the disclaimer sits.

I wonder what the disclaimer says? Something vague about not everyone achieving this due to a fault in them? It should say "none of you have a hope of these kind of numbers and neither do almost all the UK "successes" you've come across who imply it's possible. And don't think if you try hard or want it enough that it is ever going to happen, because there is NO WAY. And it's nothing to do with selling product".

These numbers are very specific and very misleading. Why choose numbers like that unless you plan to deceive?

FFS look how they’ve tried hard not to make it look like a pyramid

I counted a total of 34 people there including Mr Scamo and the speakers

tremendous growth

@Spongebobette it doesn't look like a pyramid but it does look like a virus which isn't so far from the truth. Mr Scamaloupolis is a super spreader though luckily there were few potential victims in Dublin so it's probably been contained.

Spongebobette · 04/12/2024 20:07

It DOES look like a virus! 😂

Yawn's looking back on the goals she set a year ago and how they're progressing, which includes:

House/ home : we’re working toward our Spanish home

Anyone who is seriously contemplating buying a holiday home somewhere usually spends a lot of time there, going back year after year, and has some sort of deep affiliation with a place.

I seem to recall the Yawn's had a long weekend in Spain a few years ago. Never her heard her mention the place before or since then.

Spongebobette · 04/12/2024 21:25

Yes but I’m sure she’s practically fluent by now - she’s been going to Spanish language classes for ages
😬

OP posts:
YouOKHun · 04/12/2024 21:35

How long since she mentioned the Spanish villa future purchase? A couple of years? Plenty of time for the three monthly churn of recruits to have happened numerous times so that her current audience has no idea how distant a dream this is and how she is further away from attaining it than she was.

What I don't understand is why her long term followers like Speccy aren't asking more questions.

Spongebobette · 04/12/2024 21:43

To be a bot is to live in a perpetual present, with your goals and dreams just over the horizon and no memory of the years you’ve grafted without reaching those goals

And there we go, the truths of her Fallings out are really coming out. She was f'd over for a reason. They saw through her and saw her for who she is.

Shame she hasn’t put clear a £200k directors loan on that list.

ShrinkingViolent · 05/12/2024 10:25

Uber is letting her true character shine through, complaining that she's going to have to pay attention during a Zoom speed awareness course. Because the rules shouldn't apply to her, obviously.

Norma27 · 05/12/2024 13:08

Yawn is having another photoshoot!

Some of the comments on that post are awful! Apparently it's her 4th time doing it, so it obviously hasn't had much affect on her previously.
The poor person who commented about losing someone to a speeding driver has also been ignored by her as well.

Sugarplum48 · 05/12/2024 14:38

Another cult member has left the flock. 85 victims now.

Twentytwentyhindsight · 05/12/2024 15:33

Although a lot of people are pointedly agreeing with that comment.

YouOKHun · 05/12/2024 16:06

Where is the Uber speed awareness post? Such arrogance to treat it so lightly. I'm surprised she gets off with doing the course if she is has been caught a few times. I thought it was points and a fine for repeated speeding. Anyway, if Uber is driving around Yawnsville ignoring speed restrictions perhaps Yawn should start wearing a seatbelt just to be on the safe side.

ImADeadGirlWalking · 05/12/2024 16:32

Bloody headband bot posting a picture of her grief face after her cat died. Who thinks to take a selfie for social media while they're in the middle of losing a pet? Apparently she needs to post it as she's being her true authentic self or some bullshit. My eyes hurt from rolling them so much. The things they do for engagement.

YouOKHun · 05/12/2024 16:54

Yawn is now offering a repeat of the same old thing but it's now called a "blueprint". For someone who has only ever read one book she has a large vocabulary of alternative words to replace the word "scam". The income claims and lies to her FLP downline (the main audience) are the same as ever with the word "manifest" replacing "earned" and "abundance" replacing "six figure income". Today however she is pushing it a bit further by saying that she manifested £100,000 and she can show people how to do that. She also manifested her lovely Range Rover. Where is it then? And where is the £100,000?

I don't see that Yawn is behaving any differently with these income claims. She is being as misleading as ever and to the same FLP audience. She may not be mentioning FLP but does FLP deserve to be let off the hook just because their name isn't mentioned when they're still enabling her?

Wintersgirl · 05/12/2024 17:11

Wouldn't you love to have the balls to screenshot her Directors loan and post it below that comment? That would put the cat among the pigeons! Mind you, it might stop some gullible half wit getting duped.....

YouOKHun · 05/12/2024 17:14

I'd do it in a flash but don't want to lose my ability to watch her and her various downlines!

DeliaDeetz · 05/12/2024 17:15

@YouOKHun it's on Facebook. By the sounds of it she's also had points/fines before as well. Apparently it's cos they keep changing the speed limits in her area!

YouOKHun · 05/12/2024 18:44

@DeliaDeetz I'm still searching! She may have more than one profile.

While I was looking at what I can see I notice there is a male commenting on her posts who is clearly very anti MLM and has drawn one polite response out of Uber.

Clues: First name the same as the Peep Show's Mr Corrigan and second name; first syllable is the word for a small, raised edge or ridge that can form on metal and plastic parts during machining, second syllable: the Blue *** mountains.

Sorry about the lengthy clue...Anyway, if you are one of us I commend you for populating Uber's misleading posts with the truth.

Sugarplum48 · 05/12/2024 18:54

And another victim has left. 84 and counting
