Botwatch 89!!!!!! 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.

This thread is the gift that keeps on giving. Chars to the new Fred

Thanks for the new thread! Given that Forever Living is charging the bots 70p for a brochure and £4 for a work of fiction called something like Steps to becoming a Manager, I think we should charge 70p per view of these threads for all bots on the basis it will ultimately save them money.

Thanks for new thread, @Spongebobette! Just back from family road trip in Canada so busy catching up on thread 88. Glad you've started this one.

Hmm do we think we are ‘over providing and under charging’? (Yawn, 2025)

I actually cannot keep up with the vomit inducing perpetual deluge of new batshit nonsense ideas that these ridiculous time wasters come up with. One idea, one decent business structure, one good plan, voilà. Not "hey huns, here's idea 98768755444", it's bigger, better blah blah blah" shut up

ticktock19 · 10/07/2025 18:20

had a slight panic then as I thought I’d lost you all, so glad I’ve found you again! Thank you for the new thread 😊

ticktock19 · 10/07/2025 18:27

League tables are just published for FL in the group @YouOKHun the usual suspects are in top 20 for open / national builders - I can’t remember the difference between them - bloodsucker and uber are 1&2 in the national tables. Boring names aren’t in the open table at all and are only at number 9 in the national. All their social media have been very very quiet too since Mr posted he’d been hacked. Not sure if that’s the truth or if there’s another reason for their silence. I’m busy this weekend but might have to drive to Nantwich sometime soon to see if their ridiculous ‘shop’ still exists

Angrymum22 · 10/07/2025 20:31

Yawn and her bloody feathers. No doubt the dogs have been ripping up cushions so no shortage of feathers in the thatch.
As for a legacy business, what utter garbage. The market is saturated by so called coaches, like MLM there’s no future in it. Yawn is always too late to the party.

YouOKHun · 10/07/2025 21:51

@ticktock19you can probably see their large mortgage from wherever you’re based without driving to Nantwich! I don’t buy the ‘Mr BN has been hacked. Do not respond to a message from him about [a c word that can’t be mentioned on MN] currency’. If that’s the case why has she not posted for two weeks either? If they were on an exotic holiday we’d be hearing all about it. Why is their name not appearing on the league table? Perhaps they’ve over extended themselves and can’t make the sums work even with Mr BN’s special calculator? Perhaps he’s been dabbling in the aforementioned currency and it’s ended with him being hacked and Mrs BN having to get a proper job and sell the AGA? I always get the feeling their set up is very precarious.

Sugarplum48 · 10/07/2025 22:02

Yawn literally pickles my brain with the utter shite she talks. Just make sense you loon.

YouOKHun · 10/07/2025 22:44

Yawn is being pretty vocal about BuildABareFaceLie but her partner in crime isn’t mentioning it at all. I suspect Yawn needs Techie much more than Techie needs Yawn. I’m surprised Techie wants anything to do with anything or anybody associated with Forever Living as Techie’s accounts for her and DH’s FLP company are not pretty. I’m not sure Yawn and Techie are a good bet for business advice, especially if their “legal team” is Struck Off Bot.

fitgirl26 · 11/07/2025 06:40

Anyone want to tell Yawn that the feather is lying to her?

definitelynotabot · 11/07/2025 07:08

Thanks for new Fred.

That's very odd about the BoringNames. I wonder what's really happening?

Sugarplum48 · 11/07/2025 13:39

It's stunning that yawn hasn't realised that no matter how relentlessly she keeps plugging her 6 million bizniz ideas she's still only targeting the same old audience who are not interested.

Marking my place as an unlucky girl

YouOKHun · 11/07/2025 21:16

@LeoDiCapricorn Yawn will be grateful for another possible Unlucky candidate as today the numbers are the lowest they’ve ever been since she kicked it off with promises of thousands of followers by Christmas 2024. This may be why she has started posting on the Unlucky FB page again after not bothering since around mid May. Turns out the audience that wasn’t there in May still isn’t anywhere to be seen now.

“Hi I’m Yawn and I’ve been with the company 15 years. Prior to that I was a [previous role] from home and I joined Forever because I needed a bit of cash. It was quick money we needed as a family, and over the years it has grown massively. I’ve achieved everything on the marketing plan and more and it’s given us financial stability and it’s given us complete freedom and my goal for 2025 is to help my team completely shine and become independent from anything that straps them down in life and just have lots of fun”.

This is a transcript of a business testimonial video of Yawn which is currently on FLP’s resource area, provided to inspire fledgling recruits. It’s the usual lies but only uploaded by FLP at the beginning of February this year. Moments before I was reading FLP’s disclaimer policy and, yes, under the video clip is a disclaimer. However TiNA has already pointed out to FLP that a disclaimer does not cancel out lies. If Forever is uploading this, sharing it right now and using it as a testimonial about what’s possible in FLP then that’s very misleading of them when they know Yawn was barely part of FLP in February, Mr Yawn had been back at work a good 18 months and financially she wasn’t doing well.

Yawn does a lot of projecting in her posts doesn't she?

That stuff about not worrying if your post only got 6 likes? 😂

That's the one, but there have been many others!

Sugarplum48 · 12/07/2025 15:33

Realistically it isn't about reaching out to ger victims to reassure them that few likes doesn't matter, it was her flexing...look at me, look at how many people I've bored over the years. She's looking for adoration as usual. She doesn't give a shit if her victims fail, just as long as her ego is manically stroked to make her feel special. It's really sad to watch.

YouOKHun · 12/07/2025 20:09

@Spongebobette54 members now!

There is definitely a bit of a panic going on isn’t there? Six likes on her posts is beyond her wildest dreams. Her photos of her big audiences are FLP shots so not relevant now.

Yawn’s endeavours over the last year demonstrate the disaster of MLM even after someone has ended their association. The delusions about the ability to start and run a business are really damaging, not so much to her victims as there don’t seem to be too many of those, but to her; the need for her family to prop up her earnings and her inauthentic success story. Her superficial and transactional new friends. The loss of face and the diminishing audience.

She would be better announcing that she is stopping it all and just moving on but I think she is going to go for the slow death of a coaching dream played out on social media as she desperately tries to convince herself that all it takes is a big dream and some pastel coloured photos.
