Botwatch 88 !! MLM is dying but we are still watching and sadly there are still many victims. 99.6% of participants in these “legal” schemes lose money but they are STILL being promised the world by MLM.

I'm going to give myself an early coffee break and 'tune in' to see the grand finale! Might even finish on a constructive comment on the live as it's neither here of there if I'm blocked on the planty patches channel :)

I asked "I thought your recovering skin was down to Aloe Vera?" but no response as yet :)

You’ve stressed her out with your negativity 🙄

“A couple of ladies were mean to me in the comments, but I’m on my CBD 50 so it didn’t bother me too much” 🤣

i was vaguely watching but watched the last ten minutes properly. What a load of drivel. I saw the following questions pop up:

Is there anything to calm me down because I’m worried about my £200,000 directors loan?
Why do you spell out “pain”?
Where can I read the clinical trials for the patches?
You're not allowed to make immune/immunity claims.
is it better than Forever Living?

She then blocked “nasty people” and carried on with 11 minutes to run but I’ve had to stop watching so assume she was able to get through the last ten minutes without further problems!

She was, she typically did the ‘I’m just a poor bullied yawn’ face and got lots of sympathy from the 11 followers (minus me). She finished her live looking like she might cry and saying she didn’t actually want to go, so I presume she’s been shoved out. She promoted her TikTok channel, her ‘empowerment for women’ business and the fact she’d still be doing bits of promotion for patches on her TikTok but was no longer a presenter for them. She also mentioned law of attraction as to how she came to get the presenting gig and that she lives in a centuries old farmhouse and she was wondering if anyone could see orbs flying around her. The house horse also barked continuously for the last 3 minutes which rather ruined her leaving speech.
Considering she has high hopes of tv fame then I’m not sure only 6 weeks of presenting is the best work experience.

ooh well done everyone, all great questions. That Directors Loan question is pure gold!

I think the planty patches was her only grift outside of coaching and FL. It will be interesting to see where she can go now other than downwards with any other collabs.

YouOKHun · 28/04/2025 10:25

I wonder if the Herby Patch Co think she brings too many problems to their door? The Monday morning slot can’t be their most coveted slot to try and sell the patches so Yawn has her work cut out anyway I should think.

She really needs Mr Yawn available to shut the dog up and direct beams of light onto her but he has just started a new job so she has to manage the distractions herself. It looks like my idea of a nightmare (trying to sell on TikTok).

@covidwoes Farmasi has swept up a lot of the [now defunct] Urban Retreat bots. It’s relatively new in the U.K. Is this your uni contact’s first MLM? She will get rinsed sadly. It’s really quite amazing that people are still falling for MLM, we need another round of warning articles in the media like we had pre and immediately post pandemic.

Yawn has same last name as the main character in the comedy Some Mothers do have ‘em and the same first name as the Brookside actress Sweeney. Hope that helps.

Rasher bot is now a farmasi devotee, I think she’s just been on a trip with them. They seem to have swept up a lot of the ex BodyShop folks as well, there’s one that lives in the same town as the boring names and refers to herself as ‘Lady first name’ 🙄. She does a lot of stalls at our local hospital which infuriates me and I complain every time I see her posting from there.

Covidwoes · 28/04/2025 11:51

@YouOKHunthanks for the clarification! I have never heard of her, but good lord! What annoys me about these schemes is that they prey on vulnerable women, who end up losing money. The person I know who does Farmasi is an ex Body Shop at Home ‘consultant’. I feel like asking her if she’s making as much as me per month, every month (not loads as a PT teacher, but over £1000!). I can guarantee the answer would be no!

YouOKHun · 28/04/2025 00:42

You’re on fire @Angrymum22with your hypothesis on Yawn’s tax and Stan Store digging. It explains why no one outside that coaching world has heard of stan store and why Yawn’s coach is getting her victims to sign up - they all have identikit online presence. I’ve just read that SS can be very difficult to disentangle from and retrieve any money SS owes.

It’s rife on TicTok. Lots of ambiguous posts about side hustles and huge incomes. But they are useless at covering up the source of their income when they show their invoice page online. I just remembered that Yawns early website was one of the stan.store templates. Likely she was sold it by her coach then they introduce you to selling the concept rather than using it for genuine digital content sales. I assume they encourage some sort of product to disguise the real reason and coaching is perfect. Coaching coaches to coach more coaches all buying in to the ready made platform.
I wonder if her new partner is a recruit/downline in her new scam.

Spongebobette · 28/04/2025 13:58

Ohh it all begins yo make sense now - a coach like Yawn's coach gets her coachees signed up to Stan and makes some sort of income that way

presumably Y’s new ‘partner’ is part of the same group of coachees

Spongebobette · 28/04/2025 18:28

Yawn’s ’before and after’ photos look …. dodgy

YouOKHun · 28/04/2025 19:09

Do you mean the disappearing floorboard at ankle level or the slight Readybrek glow at hip level @Spongebobette? I think this weight loss focus is to get a few C9s out of the door (assuming the product sale the other day wasn’t her throwing in the towel).

The trouble is most of her followers already know her weight loss content and there is plenty of free content out there that is more credible for those who haven’t had her guidance before. Most of her audience for C9 had already tried it and the ones who do interact with her don’t look like they have the cash for it (who has right now?).

Her “weight loss journey” was more interesting when she was on it but now it’s done and there is nothing to see and no useful information to glean. This won’t be the rescue package she is looking for will it?

Spongebobette · 28/04/2025 19:25

Definite readybrek glow and weird line round tummy in side on photo

MrsDilligaf · 28/04/2025 19:31

Apparently you can think yourself thin - forget the C9's, you can manifest yourself thin.

Bloodsucker is living the highlife in Paris, while Uber and ExBff are in Disneyland. Looking forward to seeing the non-existent crowds at the global rally 😀

Salon is all over the new biz, but WHY do they record themselves when they are driving their bloody cars?? No sense...

Spongebobette · 29/04/2025 10:37

‘You cannot stay in environments where people don’t know the true value of you’

Are you missing all the fun at the Global Rally, Yawn?

Crikeyalmighty · 29/04/2025 11:21

@Spongebobette blimey that’s a high opinion of herself - I understand that feeling in a relationship - but a bit of pyramid selling? Seems well OTT

Spongebobette · 29/04/2025 11:34

Narcissists need to be worshipped. MLMs are ideal for them as they get to go on stage and tell everyone all about how great they are. It’s difficult to think of how you’d get that narcissistic fuel if you just had your own business. You might end up posting endlessly about how your clients love you and how great your life is

Sugarplum48 · 29/04/2025 12:20

She's simply telling everyone how much she misses being idolised. How times have changed eh yawn!!

Crikeyalmighty · 29/04/2025 12:28

@Spongebobette I think that’s the whole think with people like yawn - they need to feel they ‘stand out’ and are a bit special and love photoshoots etc - because if she stopped and really analysed it , these days it can’t be for the cash - it’s very much a ‘look at me’ situation-

Tupperwarelid · 29/04/2025 12:45

Has Salon announced what her new scam is yet or is she still at the DM me hun stage? I really can't be bothered to listen to any of her lives to find out.

ticktock19 · 29/04/2025 13:15

@Tupperwarelid no, not yet. Lots of clues dropped by describing the products (10 day collagen course, blood testing, etc) and saying she’s being to the labs in Norway but hasn’t named zinzino as her new company yet. Just lots of ‘drop me a pm hun, if you’re interested’ messages
