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

I see ex-BFF is keen to get a DBS as a matter of urgency. A career departure? I hope she has no aloe Vera based crimes against her name that could spoil it for her.

Nurse has manifested a new car. For all the dream boards with images of new cars while she was slogging away at FLP and trying to get the coaching off the ground it’s only now that she is working away in a J.O.B that the new car manifestation has actually worked.

Spongebobette · 18/03/2025 09:02

And she’s a mental health nurse

I really hope none of this manifestation and law of attraction crap seeps into her working life

Just watched yawns recruitment tiktok where she's saying it's not a recruitment affiliate programme whilst describing that ot is exactly that. Is she deliberately being stupid or does she have no awareness that she's asking people to join her own pyramid scheme??

16/3 2 days after Yawn's affiliate launch and members still stagnate at 68!

On her tiktok if you CBA to watch it till the end (shes misplaced her maths) but she's suggesting people can recommend 100 people as a good earner, she hasn't even manifested that many members herself since Unlucky Girl's inception back in September 2024. Oh Yawn give it up.

18/3 4 days on from launching her affiliate programme still riding high at 68 (no change)

Dsperation and despite being a "Successful Woman in Business" she has no business acumen and tbf no business really either.

Sugarplum48 · 18/03/2025 16:45

She is literally just playing shop. I've never seen anything so ridiculous and non productive. What a waste of money for a vanity project. I simply do not get the mentality of her family especially her dimwit husband. She's not earning anything, she's just twatting around all day doing fuck all. Just get a job ffs.

I honestly can't wrap my head around it and like you can't understand how her husband has said you need to pull the plug and get a job. Forever Living income will never return to the income levels she scammed a decade ago.

Her new venture is a non starter. Her "Girl Maths" ain't mathing the Directors Loan is Looming and the Thatch is rotting.

Pairing up with Planty Plasters jabbering to to Tiktok on lives till midnight trying to shift patches for another Ex FL Bot who has an overstock problem from a Boots deal gone bad isn't going to save the day either.

He's too scared to say anything, his life would be hell if he did so he chooses the path of least resistance, anything for a quiet life..

OhMyGiddyAunt · 18/03/2025 17:19

Constantly launching the next "best thing" time and time again and getting zero interest, not to mention zero income ...what does that do to someone mentally? What does it do to their confidence?

Surely it can't be good? Surely a partner or family would/should intervene when it's clear that it's not working and hasn't done for years. Or when the roof starts leaking again or the boiler stops working and they can't afford to get it fixed.

Wintersgirl · 18/03/2025 19:08

You would think given their situation that it would be a case of 'you've tried and it hasn't worked, time to get a job' that's what most husbands would do, it's only the really wealthy that can dick around with a pretend business..

"Constantly launching the next "best thing" time and time again and getting zero interest, not to mention zero income ...what does that do to someone mentally? What does it do to their confidence?" @OhMyGiddyAunt Your paragraph sums up exactly what she's done to all the FL Bots she has signed up who haven't made a penny got into Debt and feel such a failure as they haven't succeeded because they haven't worked hard enough. Karma's a Bitch for sure.

I see the “Grand Opening” of Arsehole House is this coming Sunday. Who wants to spend their Sunday getting a Sunday timetable train to Solihull or getting their car nicked and then getting a Sunday timetable train home, just so they can stand about in a provincial office block? I suppose Sunday is the only time FLP can run these things, when the salaried employees of the other companies based in the slightly nicer offices at Arsehole House are enjoying their weekend.

Ah ha Sunday though no other occupants or employees will be in the office working so they can utilise the whole reception / breakout area or whatever the communal area is called and I just bet you they've hired out the terrace so it looks like this building is all theirs with a gloop n whoop on the terrace. Be interesting to see the photos for sure.

OhMyGiddyAunt · 18/03/2025 22:02

Lol @ gloop n whoop 😆

YouOKHun · 18/03/2025 23:34

I see Yawn has very unwisely enabled comments on the blog part of her new website.

She has also copied and pasted a privacy policy all about managing and storing people’s data but ha still failed to register with the ICO. There is no hiding behind FLP now. As an experienced business owner, knowledgeable enough to coach others, doesn’t she know what her responsibilities are?

Sugarplum48 · 19/03/2025 08:51

Can she delete any comments left though?? Asking for a friend 🤣🤣🤣

My observations regarding her T&C's are as follows. There are sure to be more and I'm no Legal Eagle, but from 10 mins scanning through I present my findings.

"Data Protection Legislation"

not registered on the ICO fee payers. So assume not registered.

We/Us/Our Means Yawn T/A the Unlucky Girl Academy.

T/A means Trading As, This company name isn't registered on Companies House. Total appointments for Yawn are 1 if this is a separate company shouldn't it be registered separately?

3.4 Use of Our Site is subject to our Website Terms of Use INSERT LINK
no link has been included.

4.1 These Terms of Sale are exclusively relevant to business customers.
clause is totally at odds with what she's offering. ie. people with no experience and no business just want to magic and mannifest themselves up.

5.4 and 5.8 re VAT.
I can't see she is registed to pay VAT. From the UK Gov Website As a VAT-registered business, you must charge VAT on the goods and services you sell unless they are exempt. You must register for VAT to start charging VAT.

She's in boiling hot water here as (again from UK Gov Website) businesses that issue an invoice showing VAT when they are not registered are liable to pay a penalty up to 100% of the amount shown on the invoice.

15. How We Use Your Personal Information
Not ICO Registered.

16. Additional Terms
Again ICO is needed should the company transfer or share details with a third party.

5. Account setup needed (under section 17)
Again refers to We only offer Digital Content for use by businesses, bollocks she is not targeting solely business onwers but individuals with no business or business knowledge.

A glance at the thatched roof on one of her Insta stories shows it could do with some attention

My understanding is you can't charge VAT until your business exceeds a turnover of £90,000, she can register for VAT as can as can any small business but she won't be able to charge for it, let's face it there's no chance of her reaching the VAT threshold.

ah ok thank you for the clarification. I agree she will never reach the 90K Threshold.

No worries, never in a million will she reach £90 grand a year!

@Botpotty looks like Yawn’s pursuing this avenue of futility as a sole trader rather than setting up a limited company. It’s easier to fly under the radar as a sole trader, whereas when her limited company hits the buffers we’ll know about it via Companies House.

Gosh, that roof needs serious attention, the longer it's left the worse it will get, I would be really worried come October when the weather turns....
