Welcome one and all to the latest thread in a long series

We are here to expose the huns and bots who lie, exaggerate and prospect victims who don’t realise that the income claims and aspirational lifestyle are unachievable

Yawn has amused me this morning. She is banging on about her session with a "high up career woman who is climbing the ladder" (just in case you think she is mixing with losers), where she will be doing all sorts of quasi therapy and coaching techniques. There will, she says, be a focus on "energy leaks" and one of the techniques they will be doing is "EDF tapping".

Now, this could be a slip of the tongue and she means EFT but with all the talk of energy perhaps this is something developed by the French energy giant to confuse its customers into overpaying for the management of their energy provision? In which case Yawn is planning to follow their lead and use EDF tapping to extract money from someone who thinks they have an energy "leak" when in fact they should be more worried about the leak in their wallet that means they are handing money to Yawn for absolute horseshit.

Or perhaps she is preoccupied with the looming realisation that a job in EDF's customer disservice department might be a necessity (even if she only lasts three days)?

Perhaps it means she's figured out how to tap into the electrickery so she doesn't get a bill?

Mrs Boring Name posted on the 8th about inspirational women and included Yawn (along with Bloodsucker and Uber). Verrrry interestingly either Yawn appears to have untagged herself, or one of the others got Mrs Boring Name to untag her.

OhMyGiddyAunt · 11/03/2025 17:50

Can someone give me some clues to remind me who ManBot and Boring Name Bot are please

ticktock19 · 11/03/2025 17:54

Boring name is - the queen who was married to Albert and her surname is the same as the family who Paddington stayed with. It's her husband who is the main bot and he's off to Dublin with Scamolopus in the near future.

If manbot is who I think it is then his name is supposedly the first man on earth and surname is the only month with 3 letters

@dickiedavisthunderthighs I think that little circle of back-patting was spoiled by a now deleted comment which was added yesterday. At the time it tagged in the people named in the post. From my screen shot I can see that Yawn was never tagged in the bot's original post, so it looks like it was all about presenting a united front while leaving Yawn out of it (I guess). I don't know how long the post (below) was there for all to see before being deleted. I've copied my screenshot of the now deleted post in order to change the names of the guilty:

"I thought Yawn had dropped out almost completely (apart from selling product at "cost" price in her closed group?). She is now doing her laughable coaching to a dwindling number of women and hoping to manifest some money pronto herself.

Was there any fall out from her starring role in the TiNA report on false income claims made by FLP HQ, FLP UK and specific FBOs (Yawn featured as one such example). This report was submitted to the Federal Trade Commission and must have worried Gregg as the fine is c.$45k per false claim! Is that why Yawn was sent to Coventry or was it just that she pissed you off Uber?

I must say, it's very concerning that exactly the same income claims are being made even just today (Mrs Boring Name). I've passed on your recent examples to TiNA and to the ASA in the UK.

Spongebobette · 11/03/2025 18:37

Well done for reporting the income claims

they don’t change their behaviour do they

Wonderful, thank you @ticktock19

I don't think she's ever featured on my radar before.
Looking at her page it seems to be the usual bot story ie. 50+ likes for a post about grandchildren, 30+ for one about her Mum's birthday etc ....but tumbleweed moments for FL posts (0-3 likes).

I have come across ManBot before, I remember now. His fb page doesn't seem that active though, unless he has another one ....0nly 5 posts this year so far (Yawn will post that many in an afternoon!!), and only one of those is FL

Angrymum22 · 11/03/2025 21:58

Yawn doesn’t half talk some bollocks. Her posts are becoming word spaghetti and she is making less and less sense. It’s almost like the vultures are circling on her ever decreasing world.

OhMyGiddyAunt · 11/03/2025 22:29

Castle's got another "new shiny thing" ....a puppy. 🙄

ticktock19 · 12/03/2025 17:36

Apologies @OhMyGiddyAunt I think the manbot being referred to was boring names husband 🤦‍♀️, I had lost track of the comments so apologies for any confusion. If you’ve found her though then you will have found him too.

just seen on Yawns stories that she’s got the collaboration with herby/planty patch company. There’s a screenshot of the them all beaming widely and with ring light eyes. I really hope this means Yawn is going to have to yap for hours at a time on TikTok trying to desperately make sales to a very empty space

Uber’s latest accounts are available.

Interesting reading

Wintersgirl · 13/03/2025 14:03

I'm rubbish at reading balance sheets, how's it looking?

YouOKHun · 13/03/2025 15:02

Anyone seen the new website of the “multi-six-figure business owner” with this offer:

Love what I offer? Want to help others while earning passive income? The Unlucky Club Affiliate Programme gives you the opportunity to earn 10% commission on every sale made through your unique referral link—whether it’s the unlucky club Membership, Coaching, Courses, or Digital Products!

YouOKHun · 13/03/2025 15:02

@WintersgirlI leave the interpretation of the accounts to others!

Verygoodatforgetting · 13/03/2025 17:20

I notice the Unlucky Academy is officially advertised as costing £22 a month - WAS £44 a month. Was it ever actually offered at that higher price I wonder? Also despite someone who can actually spell and punctuate having made the site for her, there’s still a glaring typo on the actual name of the academy on one page. Overall it looks like the modelling portfolio of a delusional narcissist , rather than a business website

SnoogyWoo · 13/03/2025 17:37

Looks like Uber has burnt through about £180k cash.

YouOKHun · 13/03/2025 17:58

@Verygoodatforgettingyou are right, it was never £44. Her website has every redundant mindset coach cliche going (colours, layout, occasional typo, unclear pricing, endless scrolling, word salad).

Talking of pricing, Yawn plans to charge £299 for two hours of one to one “confidence” coaching (she will send the odd WhatsApp in the price as well). For that price someone could get two hours with an HCPC registered clin psyche who has loads of clinical experience and does coaching. I can think of one amazing person who charges slightly less than Yawn proposes to charge for 2 hours. Here is her CV and she’s done more than look up EFT on TikTok. I’d rather put my confidence in the hands of the Clinical Psychologist and save myself the price of two Starbucks (if I drank Starbucks).

Yawns had yet another photoshoot in a new Zara dress and some truly awful footwear

BSintolerant · 13/03/2025 19:33

You’d think that a professional businesswoman like Yawn would retain the services of a lawyer - preferably one who hasn’t been struck off for fraud. A lawyer would advise her that advertising something as being reduced in price, or as a sale item when it’s never, ever sold at full price is an example of mis-selling.

Speaking of fully qualified, practising professionals, I couldn’t agree more @YouOKHun. People who need help and are willing to pay Yawn’s outrageous prices for her so-called guidance and coaching would find themselves in a much safer pair of hands if they paid a suitably qualified therapist. Anyone who trusts Yawn with their life will probably end up seeing a qualified therapist to help them unravel the mess.

Spongebobette · 13/03/2025 19:46

Those photos are DIRE

OP posts:
YouOKHun · 13/03/2025 19:47

Ah yes @BSintolerantI was thinking that and remembering one of those big furniture retailers (something like DFS) who got into trouble for their permanent sales and limited time offers at a reduced price when there was no evidence of the goods ever being at the full price. The ASA has some guidance for Yawn if she can put down her Dummies Guide to “EDF” Tapping.

I see that dodgy Lawyer has popped up to congratulate Yawn on her website and Yawn hasn’t ignored her. Guess who has bought the Unlucky club dot Co dot uk domain name?

YouOKHun · 13/03/2025 19:56

@Spongebobettethey really are dreadful. It’s as if the photographer has told Yawn to strike the most unflattering poses possible whilst wearing the most flattering garments possible. How many bad photos does she actually need?

I see she comments on her stories that she has had negative feedback from people over her site. She probably means Uber.
