Is anyone here in that free group?

me! although I don't know how 😆

Spongebobette · 09/05/2026 18:38

Do share what amazing businesses have been featured in ‘Selling Saturday’!!!

YouOKHun · 09/05/2026 19:08

Let me guess about the businesses showcasing themselves at Yawn’s Sell Yourself Short Saturday. One person selling doggy day care, a coach who coaches herself in the bathroom mirror, a couple of half-hearted Forever Living victims who have yet to get themselves into the financially precarious situation Yawn and Techie have managed and someone who runs a “travel business”?

MrsDilligaf · 09/05/2026 22:11

That is about the size of it. 5 comments from all of her beautiful ladies.

DeliaDeetz · 10/05/2026 21:39

I see Yawn's got the weight loss pictures out again to try and attract people to the body part of her groups.

Apart from a couple of people telling her she looks amazing there are 3 comments saying they "are in" but 1 is techie and the other is her PT trainer!

Spongebobette · 10/05/2026 23:54

It’s ok, she’s attending her own ‘visibility day’ in June, after which lots of people will respond to her

dickiedavisthunderthighs · 11/05/2026 10:47

One of my burners can access that group, but as Yawn blocked it there's not a lot I can see!! I did see that Techie had reposted a story about 'starting Monday' on the Body bit, which is confusing as I'm pretty sure they also started Monday about three weeks ago.
In other news, the Borings' house is now down to $750K. I'm guessing it won't be long before it goes up for auction.

YouOKHun · 11/05/2026 11:01

£750k - yikes. The Borings must be absolutely desperate. She announced in January that 2026 would be a better year after whatever went on last year. Judging by their continued low profile it seems problems are ongoing. If the house ends up at auction or even if it sells tomorrow at £750k it seems unlikely that will be the end of their problems seen as they paid c£950k for it (I think).

What’s this?

50 free VIP places available to access the Buildabear app and have a look at the ‘banging’ content?? Should be available ay the weekend they think?

desperation

Rictus grin spent yesterday at the baby show at the nec preying on new and expectant moms 😡

dickiedavisthunderthighs · 11/05/2026 12:28

I have such a damning file on Rictus and her appalling recruitment methods/outright lies. Is it an ASA job or some other body? I know FLP would just ignore anything I sent.

Claiming that FL replaced her salary as an Asst Head AND allowed her husband to have a ‘4 year career break’

notgettinganyyounger · 11/05/2026 17:47

So all the ex FM huns who jumped to Livegood, and then onto vantage copy trading are being named and shamed on ' It's the Fizz watchdog' fb page. About time these absolute scammers were exposed.

YouOKHun · 11/05/2026 18:38

@dickiedavisthunderthighs I think it’s one for the ASA as she is making such blatant income claims. Especially if the complaint is made in the light of what’s gone on in the US with Truth in Advertising. If I was complaining about Rictus I’d want make it clear that these kind of lies are being endorsed here in the UK in a very active recruitment campaign that is no longer happening in the US. I’d also make it clear that she gets on stage and does “training”, sharing her methods and that’s also clearly endorsed by FLP.

i wonder if stalking people at the baby show went well. Somehow I doubt the reception was great.

The more ammo you have for Rictus the better she is utterly shameless. I have aleady reported to the ASA with Rictuc's claim of 30K Months. I explained she claimed she is earning 30K a month but out of the whole of the UK, Ireland and Iceland there were only 11 global rally qualifiers. Of those, only four have qualified for Chairman's Bonus and she wasn't included so it was utter lies. I provided screen shots from her insta and links to FL's qualifiers.

YouOKHun · 11/05/2026 20:55

I think it’s worth backing up her lies with examples from other FL bots telling similar lies even if she has a starring role. Let’s face it, there are plenty to choose from. I expect the ASA is interested in what FL appears to sanction across the board as backgroup to the dreadful Rictus.

@user1471446301did you include in your complaint the fact you reported Rictus Bot’s claim to FL and they ignored you (I think that’s what you said happened)?

When was the last time the ASA gave FL a slap on the wrist? 2015 I think.

Yes I explained to ASA I commented with the facts on their FL FBO Facebook page disputing the income claims but was subsequently blocked I also emailed Compliance-uk@flp.ltd their response. "Good Afternoon,
Thank you for your email and bringing this to our attention.
We will complete a review into this.
If you have any queries please do let me know.
Kind Regards
Alice Powell
Compliance and Regulatory Support Advisor
Since then not heard a dicky bird from FL Compliance. I also of course challenged Rictus and then Tractor Bot her upline with the same questions again blocked.

YouOKHun · 11/05/2026 22:50

Tractor Bot is another one who claims she was an Assistant HT when she started her FL biz yet doesn’t bother to list that role on LinkedIn which says she worked in pastoral support. Why not include that important role on LinkedIn? Or perhaps it’s an inflation or the new FLP business was a desperate move for someone not up to the AHT job? I always think claims of former roles given up for FLP is a sign that they were more than likely let go and needed to find something that didn’t required a reference or a sensible track record. Those that can, do, and those that can’t join an MLM.

if Tractor Bot’s downline earns £30k a month why isn’t Tractor Bot showing signs of similar? Instead they’re both traipsing round the baby show getting knocked back .

Spongebobette · 12/05/2026 09:34

‘Traipsing round the baby show’ is much more accurate than ‘such an honour to be invited to be part of such an incredible event’

Followed by a post of her brandishing a LV notebook saying she’ll contact everyone who gave her their contact details

Let me reword that...

"spent £2.1k of her own money thereby inflating the coffers of FLP"

Spongebobette · 12/05/2026 11:54

Rictus now claiming someone who joined in April has already ‘turned over 2.1k’

2.1k a month in sales is 25k a year - and that's sales, not net profit. What's minimum wage again?

Spongebobette · 12/05/2026 12:35

Exactly

people see 2.1k though and think it’s income

YouOKHun · 12/05/2026 12:35

@MrsDilligaf exactly. Rictus Bot’s victim has been turned over to the tune of £2.1k.

I don’t think mysterious, time limited offers promising people they will make money if they rush to sign up by a deadline are OK either (the pic is from 2 May on FB).

She doesn’t know the difference between an adjective and an adverb either.
