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.

That Bullring Bullshit outing looks a pathetic affair. The bot with the number 1 on her back is, I think, a bot they are pinning their hopes on. She does seem to have risen in prominence. However she has been a bot since 2017 and there is no sign of a limited company relevant to FLP.

She says she started her FLP endeavours after getting into debt trying to support her family back in Zimbabwe but I wonder if she has recruited a lot of people over there and that’s why she is flavour of the month suddenly?

They could have shifted the whole sorry business from the Bullring to take shelter in the old HQ which still stands empty but is apparently under offer.

Laughing at FL trying to glamourise their gazebo outside the Bullring trying to flog aloe and recruit in the pissing rain and howling gale. I thought they were at least having a stand inside!

Where can I see this ?!

I saw pics on FB. I can’t even find FLP UK’s insta page as there are so many masquerading as FLP UK. I might have been blocked by them after linking the TiNA report to the US Fat Controller’s post about integrity and commenting about the reality of their decline on his post about the huge growth (including the UK). I can’t even look on insta story viewer as I don’t know their insta name. Perhaps it’s a blessing!

Interesting "We are now based outside" did they get kicked out or was this the cheapest option. I see Yawn's exBFF being windblown at the stall. Imagine having to pay £40 to be stood outside like a saddo. on ExBFF's insta she said she was doing a free prize draw to win goodies (which of course she would have paid for herself). Such a con for them, but I'm finding it hard to muster any sympathy at least for those 'leaders' who been round the block.

YouOKHun · 04/09/2025 10:34

Sorry, I thought my post had the last few words missing.

did anyone see the eagle and chicken post from “the power couple”? Sleaze can’t decide whether he works really hard or lives a life of freedom or whether he is a relaxed anti establishment antivaxxer or a big bizniz success story. He is certainly back to full scamming thanks to his association with Poison Bot. Why isn’t she locked up?

Yawn is getting very little interest in her massive launch on her Unlucky Club FB page. I notice that she has taken to “liking” her own posts and she seems to be hiding who the other two likes are from (unless it’s just me who can’t see who they are). It’s almost as if she doesn’t want us to see that the only other interaction is from Techie or a loyal downline. Having said that there are a few unusual names liking posts so they must be paid for followers.

YouOKHun · 04/09/2025 10:51

Perhaps those new names liking the Unlucky Club page are from the 217 members who have miraculously joined the BuildABear private group?

dickiedavisthunderthighs · 04/09/2025 11:00

Yawn’s now rolled out the Castle approach of sticking arbitrary values against stuff people can get for free on the internet. My guess is she has precisely one subscriber to the BuildABear ‘inner circle’, the dog trainer.

YouOKHun · 04/09/2025 12:03

Yep, I think Doggie Bot is the only one. I also agree that Yawn has discovered AI and is now offering 100 or whatever ways to earn money when anyone can get that information the same way she has. The launch excitement is well and truly over.

DeliaDeetz · 04/09/2025 16:15

I noticed a lot of the values plucked out of thin air assigned by Yawn end in 7. Is that cos some consider it a lucky number or is there another reason to do that?

I always wonder do people really fall for this random valuation stuff?! Why would you charge so little for something that is allegedly worth so much more? In the majority of businesses it would be considered madness!

Let me find out , I'm in the build a bear club 😉

MrsDilligaf · 04/09/2025 16:25

Lots of very strange names in the club, lots of people "previewing" but for £25 you get £6k worth of waffle (all of the prices end in 7 - £147 for this, £97 for that.

The free gift I got was absolute tosh.

YouOKHun · 04/09/2025 16:43

@MrsDilligaf very interesting that you’re in there with all the movers and shakers of the bizniz world. Sounds like a lot of filler members plumping up the numbers. Prices ending in 7 is an alleged psychological trick beloved of the bots and that only seems to fool them. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychological_pricing

I tried to join via techies fb page as i'm blocked on yawns and now techie has blocked me :( I must be on the naughty list. It must be a full time job keeping tabs on all the "haters and trolls".

I can't be arsed with anymore burners. So I look forward to receiving your updates from Buildabear and Yawns inner ring piece.

Yawns definitely making use of AI .... a few weeks ago she said something about having "planned" something silly like 10 years worth of content for one of her ventures (I lost track of her offerings ages ago so not sure if it was a course/membership/whatever).

Aside from the fact that 10 years worth was clearly churned out by AI in minutes, what about the fact that's what relevant now won't necessarily be relevant or up to date in a years time let alone 10!!

There was a golden nugget of advice from some network marketing coach years ago who said pricing something with a 7 at the end made it more attractive

I feel very important to have been accepted! I do have an actual business idea, which is nothing to do with MLM (obviously 🙄) but I doubt the build a bear gang would be able advise on.

Definitely won't make me a six figure earner, but its something it love doing and when I have time I am genuinely quite good at it.

The free gift was a poorly written 9 page piece of waffle about breaking the confidence code.

Basically it is just a pitch to get you to spend money on their non existent skills.

What on earth is Castle on about? Someone’s mistaken her kindness for weakness and her family will now be more cautious about who they help?

Each cheek on Castle looks like it's got a bollock under the skin.

Nurse is having a break from social media - it’s been 24 hours, how long will she last I wonder?
