Do you know for sure that they are doing really well?


I've seen many get into a lot of debt and bankrupt for short term (short term being anywhere from 1 - 3 years) worth of lavishes such as new cars, home extensions, holidays etc. where credit was used on the hopes that eventual income, sustainable income to clear the debt and live the lifestyle would come. This is the dangerous part of these companies. They don't (to my knowledge) do this anymore but they did at one point encourage people to dress better, and that utilizing funds on the credit card to have a nice weekend trip to Paris will add strength to your status and that people will be more inclined to buy into the dream if they "believe" you are doing well from it, not to worry themselves that the money would come in good amounts further down the line, using the 1 or 2 same old exception examples (The ex policewoman, and the ex stockbrocker from London) as evidence that people can earn up to 10K a month. Even renting a nice car for 1 day to have in the driveway during hosting party's has been suggested to one newly signed up distributor. As I said, they no longer do this, and have since added in the "This is not a get rich quick scheme" disclaimer to keep them legally safe from financial casualties because there were complaints about all the people going into debt citing network marketing companies as the culprit. Clearly the individual has to take some of the burden but always watch out

Ah the police lady story!

This is infamous in the 'pitch' that gets dropped on me every time I see my mates wife.

Range Rover Sport, quit as a copper, 6 bedroom house, lights her fire with £50's....

It all very materialistic, from what I can see, is they actively promote living beyond ones means to give an illusion of grandeur, whilst ensuring that people stay loyal to the brand as they have no other options.

Clever clever system, but insanely immoral.

That's the ones. They were both (husband and wife) in the police force. I find it rather unsettling though that they leave out the part about their compensation and other ventures, placing all the success solely on Forever. Others buy in, if they see or believe others are getting success, so some distributors 'may' eventually get propped up and 'win'. This is what most bank on when they max out their credit cards to 'look the part'. But in the end, at what cost? It's deceptive, and certainly not the kind of behaviour you would want to show for family and friends. Those with moral consciences don't or back out before that

Further to my description of this cult company earlier I forgot to add that as soon as my ex declared herself bankrupt, we didn't see her upline for dust. Never heard from them again. When I listed all her remaining stock on ebay to clear the stuff from the house as I never wanted to see it again, I had emails and private messages from all the drones working for FLP for weeks telling me that I wasn't allowed to sell the stuff on there under the companys rules. Each one received a carefully worded reply explaining why I was selling it and what would happen to them if they too kept selling aloe products. Never heard from anyone again.

The products are all !!!!!!!! anyway, I'm sure 99% of the sellers know that. The only winners are the ones at the top.

It's all gone a bit quiet with FL?
