@Crikeyalmighty it’s called Minty Pig (if you get the reference to Mandy!).

Apprentice Bot has been a speaker at Castle’s Moronic event today. Remind me, did Castle say she is an innocent victim of a scammer? The company she keeps says something else.

Castle has milked the scammer line for all its worth. Once she has rinsed all the engagement out of it that she can what’s the betting she quietly drops it and all those people who kept quiet on her instructions so she could advocate for them find that it all goes quiet and there is never word again.

What do people pay her to attend these ‘mean girl club’ events????

Yawn is now hoping people might be interested in paying her a subscription for diet and meal tips 🙄

SnoogyWoo · 21/09/2025 12:41

She's a one woman Amazon except with no sales.

YouOKHun · 21/09/2025 13:59

The return to the diet subject by Yawn is a concrete sign BuildaBear is dead in the water. Engagement with BaB posts on her business FB page is zero. I can’t see her other FB page which generally has more interest (indicating she is selling a version of herself, not coaching).

I wonder if Techie is finding that people who wanted a simple website are still coming to her but want nothing to do with paying for all the extra Yawn input. I wonder if this is eventually how they will fall out, because Techie will be getting customers for her services and not pushing them into a BuildaBear package. I think Techie has more useful skills and has a trickle of new customers. Yawn only has her former downline most of whom have drifted off. Latching onto Techie and convincing her that Yawn will bring much needed glamour and an eager audience must be something Techie is beginning to question? At least, I hope she is questioning it.

Nurse has been taking on more hours recently. Apparently she spoke about needing some more pennies and was inundated with messages from people offering NM opportunities! Her comment was thank you, but been there, done that.

Hopefully this indicates she’s finally seen the light.

Spongebobette · 21/09/2025 14:28

Except she says ‘I have my own coaching business’

does she really 🙄

As is her mentioning ‘spiritual well-being over excessive material attachments’

she’s very transparent sometimes

YouOKHun · 21/09/2025 14:59

@Spongebobette ah yes, I didn’t see that. The Buddha of Burdensome Debt (RRP £6.99, The Range) will have to be brought out of the under stair cupboard and take its place on the kitchen worktop next to a framed spiritual-lite meme and some more pamphlets about manifesting.

She’s in a dire situation and it calls for drastic action! No, not a trip to the job centre, numerous contacts with HMRC or downsizing. No, what this really needs is a bigger goal board and some meditating on the sofa in front of Thatched Homes Under the Hammer.

Spongebobette · 21/09/2025 15:33

It must be killing Yawn that Castle can pull in quite a lot of paying women to an in-person event and she can’t even get a few likes on her posts

OP posts:
Justdancevance · 22/09/2025 09:29

If you noticed castle asked for ‘6 figure business owners’ to complete a survey

I’m sure they wanted info to know which people to love bomb at her ‘event’ to get to sign up to expensive VIP packages.

Crikeyalmighty · 22/09/2025 10:01

@Justdancevance they are bloomin obsessed with ‘6 figure incomes!!

Justdancevance · 22/09/2025 13:29

They want to pounce on the ones with money, so want to separate the cash cows from the rest.

YouOKHun · 22/09/2025 14:41

She wants to pounce on the people with money as their resources can be positioned to look like success as a result of association with Castle, much like her parent’s money made her an attractive proposition for FLP back in the day. Secondly, people who are prepared to respond to a charlatan like Castle and claim they are six figure earners are likely to be just the sort of people happy to share Castle’s lies and pull in paying customer/victims. It’s no doubt how Castle and her scammer were brought together!

Crikeyalmighty · 22/09/2025 14:50

@YouOKHun I watched the video where she was busy telling her followers that she had been scammed - definitely no mention they had a limited company together - wonder if the billing wasn’t via that company and hence she can put it all down to the other person ? She’s actually quite convincing and soft person I am did feel a bit sorry for her but got a grip!! . However I did find it somewhat ironic that she was more than happy to get others buying into the FLP thing without worrying that other folks had lost thousands - which is kind of a scam too , but in a different way

OhMyGiddyAunt · 22/09/2025 17:19

So Yawn has launched yet another business, this time with her running (only?) buddy

I'm guessing it's on her daily check list:

Get up ✅️
Brush Teeth ✅️
Launch another business ✅️

Crikeyalmighty · 22/09/2025 17:25

@OhMyGiddyAunt has she been a coach for 15 years?? Seems more like 15 months

I’m not sure you can call it a business when it’s a few bullet points written in a notebook

Excited to see what business she will launch tomorrow eeek!! Apparently she is doing a nutrition course as we speak and probably by the time I’ve finished typing this she will have paid £9.99 and downloaded the certificate to say she is an accredited (by the G McKeith School of Orthorexia) nutritionist. As long as she doesn’t start advising people about what to eat then her qualification can remain simply a waste of a sheet of A4 rather than giving duff information to someone that could be potentially harmful. What happened to the sign language and the Spanish? I’m also unconvinced that new BFF has worked in fitness all her life.

The thing is, she wouldn’t have time for posts like these, and certainly not projects like these if she was making a success of her Unlucky Club. The more she pops up with these new angles on the same old subjects the more anyone still paying for her input/content is going to realise there is nothing to gain in paying her a penny more.

Crikeyalmighty · 22/09/2025 18:34

@Spongebobette the thing about business is she appears to have ‘planning’ about like Farage announces policies ( in my opinion) no depth of research , written on the back of a fag packet after a couple of drinks, involve anyone out there who seems a bit keen and opportunistic and just hope for the best .

Spongebobette · 22/09/2025 18:35

And assumes that her minuscule bit of knowledge is worth paying for

Another Nutrition Course?

Didn't she already do one? Along with Spanish and "How to become a quadrillionaire"

I'd feel sorry for her husband, but he's just enabling her ridiculous behaviour.

Goodness knows what the accounts will show, I wonder if their account is the one linked to FLP?

Yes! She’s been taking people for a ride for the last 15 years. I suspect the National Express is cheaper and you’re more likely to reach your destination.

Over on The Fizz page there is a discussion about Farmasi and I see Rasher bot is now heavily involved.
