BOTWATCH 93! The latest in a long running anti MLM thread. We may be celebrating the demise of Forever Living MLM in the US but sadly MLM/network marketing is still pulling in victims using lies and manipulation … the botwatching continues …

Headband has put a pic up of her bully. It's within the comments of the o hate bullies post. Now got to work out who she is.

notgettinganyyounger · 30/09/2026 23:38

Done my homework. Found out who the ex bot is who has pissed headband off. First name is the surname of the greatest boxer of all time. Second name is the first name of the author of pride and prejudice. She is not happy and has posted on her own FB all about it. So make a cuppa and enjoy the read folks

There is no need to know who this marvellous woman is. She spotted the FL scam very quickly and I hope she’ll be joining us, under her chosen username, soon.

notgettinganyyounger · 01/10/2026 08:47

Very true. I just found her posts interesting once she had seen the light, plus she is warning others away. Seems her businesses very short lived thank fuck!

notgettinganyyounger · 01/10/2026 08:48

My deleted/hidden message above was the clue to name.

Spongebobette · 01/10/2026 10:00

I can’t find her as there’s loads of profiles with that name 😢

I remember when she was paraded around by Headband. Good for her is all I can say; the more people speak up the better.

Oops, the god of internet searches, google, told me that the greatest boxer of all time was Sugar Ray Leonard. 😁 It took a little guesswork to find the right person.

notgettinganyyounger · 01/10/2026 18:45

Glad you got there! Yes very much paraded around, and clearly told to fake it til you make it. So glad she got our, no doubt stuck with a garage fukk of gloop. Would love her to come on here and spill the details. Still many references and pics on headbands fb

Headband. “Empowing” women for years. Unless they call her out.

YouOKHun · 02/10/2026 00:10

Exactly @cheeseomelette and not only is she the very opposite of empowering to those unfortunate enough to end up in her orbit, she is also a piss poor example of empowerment herself, selling her soul (assuming she has one) to that bunch of crooks at Arsehole House and paying for the privilege.

I’ve had direct contact with one of her former victims (a while back) who sadly took two attempts to escape Headband’s clutches and suffered financial and social damage as a result. Recruited while going through a major bereavement and left with the care of the surviving parent - she was promised FLP would give her money to support her parent financially and give her flexibility around caring responsibilities. It left her poorer and much more isolated as she had pulled friends into it who like her really couldn’t afford to take part. Headband didn’t give a flying fuck.

definitelynotabot · 02/10/2026 07:42

I have missed who headband is - could I have a clue, please?

Here's the bullying that followed when a Forever Living FBO asked her upline about the FTC and deceptive income claims.

Just listening to local radio whilst getting ready for my real life job and hearing a segment from a lovely local woman who has set up a fitness class in a local town hall for a minimal fee without all the rocks in your bra, let me get you doing biznus biznus crap. Yawn is really barking up the wrong tree.

user1471446301 · 02/10/2026 08:40

Fantastic well written Article! All the receipts as the youngsters say. Well done AJ I'm sorry you lost 5K but thank you for standing up and spreading awareness. I shall share this everywhere I can and tonight when the 'leaders' are sleeping I shall tag them in to make them 'aware' and hopefully their downlines will see it before they awaken and allow them to ponder their own fate.

YouOKHun · 02/10/2026 09:16

Excellent article!! That absolutely nails Headband but more importantly it totally exposes FLP’s “Compliance” department and the UK’s director as deliberately silencing people in order to keep extracting money. I wish we had TiNA and the FTC here.

Crikeyalmighty · 02/10/2026 09:51

great piece- one thing I think has hurried their demise is there are actually far more flexible genuine income opportunities out there than there used to be- more home working roles, more part time etc - those who get really caught up on it so they can’t see the wood for the trees often are not very bright people who are prone to going ‘all in ‘ with cults, as it makes them feel part of something ( same is true in politics)- those who get caught up who are actually perfectly intelligent like this lady do often see the light but just slink away quietly realising it’s load of misleading bumph , so I admire this lady for actually raising her head above the parapet - and if headband thinks that the slick suited MD really has her back and gives a shiny shit about her she has an awful lot to learn about ‘proper business’ - I work in the music industry- there’s a ton of these MBA types around at the exec level within the bigger players who will have you clearing your desk within an hour because you dare to be over 42 or earning over a certain amount or need their figures to look better for the city in the next 2 quarters- let’s see how much he has her back when the UK operation suddenly shuts with no warning etc -

HotAsSatansBalls · 02/10/2026 10:34

Thank you to the Talented Ladies Club for annother excellent article (linked above) on the truth behind MLM and the bullying that can occur when someone shines a light on how these grubby schemes operate by asking legitimate questions and refusing to be fobbed off. Well done to the former victim of Forever Living who realised what she’d got sucked into, got out, and held those who attempted to silence her to account. I’m so sorry that she lost thousands of pounds. I hope her upline has a freak accident involving a headband and a mop.

notgettinganyyounger · 02/10/2026 10:56

Omg I think this is the poor lady I was referring to above? I'll need to read it properly to be sure, but we'll done her for speaking up!

notgettinganyyounger · 02/10/2026 11:11

Yep its her! Bloody well done to you. Hopefully this will go far and wide, and put a few more nails i the coffin of FL. Funnily enough even Yawn commented on headbands bully post, saying that is why she left, due to bullies! Wowzer. Being called a bully for uncovering the truth!

notgettinganyyounger · 02/10/2026 11:14

Appears to be 'business as usual'for headband this morning.

dickiedavisthunderthighs · 02/10/2026 13:51

That meme she posted is grim. I always viewed her a a bit Bonnie-Langford-with-a-lobotomy but this expose just shows she knows exactly what she's doing to people.
Surprised no photos of Yawn's 'squad goals' shed sesh have appeared on her stories.
