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

Picture a wedding... Yawns wedding to be precise. Imagine being ordered to attend but not allowed to be part of the actual wedding or allowed food at the reception. Imagine you are there purely to make it look like you're her friends and when you don't comply to her ridiculous demands at her wedding reception she comes and screams and l mean screams that it's her wedding and for us as a group to go inside the venue to act like her friends. We all left and went to a pub. We all only went as we worked with her and knew it would be really awkward at work if we didn't go.

Bloody hell! Really?

Wow @Sugarplum48, that is a wedding to remember. Absolutely dreadful to treat people like that

BSintolerant · 31/01/2025 19:32

Good grief @Sugarplum48 ! It sounds like she was using you and her other colleagues as the wedding-day equivalent of paid mourners, but without the payment or refreshments!.

I know you said you only followed Yawn’s orders to avoid fallout at work if you didn’t go, but how were things at work after you’d all sacked her off for the pub?

Angrymum22 · 31/01/2025 19:44

Has anyone else spotted that Uber has used a photo of Yawn in her latest recruitment post. Most probably deliberate.

Sugarplum48 · 31/01/2025 21:14

She came back from her honeymoon as though nothing had happened. I'll tell you about the horrible hen do if you want??

BSintolerant · 31/01/2025 22:04

I had a feeling you’d say she styled it out when she returned to work @Sugarplum48! As for the hen do, do tell: I’m all ears. 😉

Oh god yes!

Wintersgirl · 31/01/2025 23:43

I've always said the ones who bang on about being genuine, kind and a good person are usually nothing of the sort, but if they repeat it often enough they'll believe it.

Sugarplum48 · 01/02/2025 07:46

The honeymoon was in London. Again we as a group we guilt tripped into going. She had a very superficial group of women selected to attend. All women were associates of hers and not friends. Essentially we were lumped together to act as a mask group. We all had to dress a certain way, make up was demanded. But here's the kicker...it was a one night stay in a hotel. On the evening of going out she only told the most glamorous looking women about the meal out that evening and then the ones who she felt didn't really fit the "look" were not told about the meal out until they were getting into taxis to go. We were left scrambling to try to get ready to try to join them making us look like fools. It was a vile act and one that wasn't forgiven. Yawn claimed she had told us about the meal. She hadn't. It was simply yawn being a bitch.

Sugarplum48 · 01/02/2025 08:42

Hen do not honeymoon 🙈🙈

Sugarplum48 · 01/02/2025 09:16

And when l say associates l mean she invited her hairdresser, her nail tech, friends of her mother, her husband to be sister who hated her but was made to go. I sat in a taxi with these women, non of who liked her but had been made to feel they had to go. It was fucked up to say the least. She didn't stay in touch with any of those women. In fact she spectacularly fell out with her hairdresser. That's a whole other story which I'll gladly share if you want to know??

Wintersgirl · 01/02/2025 10:33

Keep em coming Sugarplum48!

Sugarplum48 · 01/02/2025 11:26

So the hairdresser was recruited into flp to flog products at her salon. She was one of yawns first victims but hasn't actually done to badly in flp. Anyway the yawns wanted to buy this particular house that yawn had fallen in love with. They couldn't really afford it but guess who could?? Yep the hairdresser and her husband. They bought that house and yawn threw a shit fit of epic proportions. They still don't speak.

Wintersgirl · 01/02/2025 11:33

I vaguely remember years ago Yawn mentioning a hairdresser selling FLP, I wonder if it's the same one? Fancy having a tantrum about a house you can't afford though! What the hell did Mr Yawn see in her if she behaved so appallingly?

Sugarplum48 · 01/02/2025 11:43

I think he's like a hostage with Stockholm syndrome. Yes it's the same hairdresser

Wintersgirl · 01/02/2025 13:59

What a life though.....

YouOKHun · 01/02/2025 15:40

The new Aloe Bar at ARSESolihull. It reminds me of the paint mixing counter in B&Q or a depressing departure lounge made available to those paying an inflated price for a train ticket.

Say it the right way and it sounds exactly like A Low Bar.

forgotmyusername1 · 01/02/2025 17:48

I am not too up to date with names (although I know who Yawn, Castle etc are as I used to read the threads) but has anyone seen what... I shall call her rainbow specs... is posting. She probably had a code name. Is involved in some kind of subscription thing. Constantly posting things about it being your fault if you aren't successful. Her thing sounds like an out and out pyramid scheme to me. Anyone know what it is?

MrsDilligaf · 01/02/2025 17:57

Would that be a scheme with the opposite name to DeadBad?

MrsDilligaf · 01/02/2025 17:58

If so, I have a DeadBad Bot to follow

BSintolerant · 01/02/2025 17:58

If you’re talking about the bot with the weird eyebrows and face-furniture which look like it’s made of boiled sweets, that’s Homeschool @forgotmyusername1 . Her ex is Weird Willy, who was driving a vegetable delivery van, despite his claims of earning six figures as a coach. Both of them have been declared bankrupt in recent years.

forgotmyusername1 · 01/02/2025 18:02

That was it. I couldn't remember it. She is now just posting a load of videos victim blaming. What is she pushing?

YouOKHun · 01/02/2025 18:06

@forgotmyusername1 that would be Homeschool, previously of Forever Living, then Modere, followed by some luxury car Ponzi and now this current scam. She is no longer appearing under her own name due to some awkward sharing of her MLM history on her current feed recently. This forced her to announce she didn't care about negative and envious haterz and then block people and change her name, I can't remember what the new ID is and I've forgotten the name of the subscription grift which I've seen quite a lot of people mentioning.

She is very very desperate. She briefly made money in Forever Living before she and her then husband spent it all. It was lucky timing and utterly ruthless tactics that made her money but those times are very much over (they were over very quickly). She is finding out that even if people are (unwisely) interested they simply can't afford to speculate these days. She is doomed and no amount of manic behaviour and Dame Edna eyewear will change that.

Yeah calling people foolish and morons is not persuading me
