Botwatch 87!!! Yes we are still battling MLMs! When 99.6% of people joining MLM are destined to lose money is that an opportunity or a scam?

[Spongebobette]

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 Speccy still has her Aloe shop so I guess that’s just for the odd person who wants to overpay for Aloe, including her? Do bots usually do a slow fade, leaving the shop front available for the odd purchase as they back away slowly to avoid the negative attention of their upline? That’s what I imagine.

You would have thought that someone who claims to be a genuine friend and mentor and who claims to be all about female empowerment would be giving some genuine positive feedback to Speccy and her wreaths but I have not seen any sign of it from Yawn, so presumably it’s somehow clear to Yawn that Speccy has no potential as a coachee and is of no further use?

@SnoogyWooyes, that’s exactly what I’m expecting! She is recharging ready for the attention grabbing she’s going to need to do while the other bots are pretending to live it up in Paris.

It's very odd to have your "coach: go to all your photoshoots. What's that all about??

The coach also coaches the photographer I reckon so she’s getting her clients by recommending her to her clients

very circular

Yes, very circular @Spongebobette. I suspect that Yawn’s coach’s entire business is the three or four mugs (including the photographer) we’ve seen on each photoshoot. There is zero happening on the coach’s personal page or the one with her sister. She must be absolutely delighted that Yawn has been such model student [paying customer] and that Mr Yawn has a proper job to keep two of the Anal Charlies afloat.

Jesus how sad

Bots definitely do a slow fade. Nurse still has her ‘shop’ and will occasionally do an ‘I’m ordering if anyone wants anything’ and on her AMAs usually says she’s still a distributor but ‘not actively working her bizniss’.
Looks like specs is doing just that too. Her business page was set up for FL and it’s done a complete turn around to her wreaths in a few months.
I wonder if it’s costs them to maintain an online shop with FL? I’m guessing it probably does.

Yawns back after a 4 day ‘mini break’ and no social media apparently…anyway…she’s back with loads of unlucky girl plans for us all

@ticktock19 I fear we are in for an intense period of Unlucky Club launches and endless snappy snaps from the photoshoot until Paris is over.

Hmm 4 days off social media, not announced in advance, a bit odd for someone who constantly over informs her followers of her every waking thought?

and a selfie looking through the apple tree in her own garden - not a mini break which included opportunities for photos on a tropical beach or a city view from a luxury hotel, or a spa?

a mini break at home, then, grinding your teeth and thinking up even more silly ideas to tempt money from people

Has Yawn has been inspired by the Easter story? Think about it … Jesus went offline for three days before he arse-ended into heaven to sit at God’s right hand (rather than on a wall covered in bird shit, wearing a dressing gown with feathery cuffs), and Yawn (like most ex and current bots) can’t count so she went MIA for four days instead. Does Yawn think that by faking her own death and resurrection she will bring victory over despair, doubt and desperation, and her Unlucky Girls will Eeeeeeeek!!!!! at the news of her resurrection, stick their hard earned cash on the collection plate, and allow her to carry on leading her cult?

Did anyone else read that in Philomena Cunk’s voice? 😉

I read it as a Jonathan Pie rant 😁

I don’t know why but my mind went straight to Eric Idle jauntily singing “Always Look on the Bright Side of Live Laugh Love”.

Yawns back in full flow flogging the pointless patches on TikTok, extolling the benefits of them for her lack of Botox etcetc 😂😂

And she’s obviously had someone wanting to be a Forever Living bot so now she is coaching them for that. Lots of mentions of the products too. Not quite as independently thriving without FLP as she has implied.

I wonder if this is genuine, or whether this is her way of getting back on the FL recruitment trail whilst making it look like she's actually got a say in the matter?

She has literally no engagement on her tiktok anymore. I'd give it up as a bad job and start applying for actual jobs at this stage.

@dickiedavisthunderthighsgood point. I can see how she might want to imply she has a choice to take part in FLP even though she has “moved on to even better things” and she probably desperately needs it (or the 2016 version of it). I wonder if she is feeling left out of the excitement as well?

Out of the goodness of her heart* as it’s her birthday Uber is going to give someone a life changing gift if they comment “me” on her post. The gift is a starter kit “valued” at £199.75.

Firstly, I think the word she is looking for is “priced”. If we were to value the contents of the starter kit it would be somewhere far south of £199.75. Secondly, if you roll a turd in glitter and tie a ribbon around it and call it a gift it’s still a turd, except an obvious turd is likely to be a far less toxic gift.

The post has been up an hour with no comments which is possibly a different more muted reaction compared to a few years ago - perhaps her audience these days have already bought the starter kit and there are no new victims out there? I am sure some victims will pop up soon, sadly.

*if it exists

Unlucky Club lost another member today. Now at 63. What will happen at the end of the month when presumably another £22 is due from the members who are paying? Anyone who has stuck it out since September can’t be getting anything new from it whether they’re paying or not.

I’ve taken the liberty of creating a new thread as I have been filling this one up by banging on …

Hi everyone. I don’t normally post here but a few things have popped up on my FB that have made me curious. There now appear to be loads of people setting up as travel consultants and then trying to encourage others to train with them and set up as travel consultants. Apparently they can earn as much or as little as they like. It all sounds very familiar. Are travel consultants the new Forever Living? Has anybody else noticed this trend?

oops, posted my question on an old thread. 🤦‍♀️ Copied it below as genuinely curious about this.
