I received this email today....really don't like the solicitation - would this be considered spam?

Hi. My name is Karen Taub. My firm is a refinery in business 45 years. We have a division that caters to the public and we have had trememdous success in offering our gold BUYING service in small gatherings. We recently did an event in conjunction with a Pampered Chef representative and it was a win-win for both her and ourselves. We paid her guests CASH for their unwanted gold and they used it to buy products.

We are interested in having someone consult with us and I was hoping you might be interested or know someone. COuld we speak when you have a free minute? 914-299-9202

Thanks

Don't you have to be a member in order to send a PM or an email like that?

niktim3 · 07-01-2009, 01:56 PM

I thought it was fishy.... anyone actually try and see what she wants?

DessertDivaFL · 07-01-2009, 01:59 PM

I didn't get it. Guess I am lucky.

raebates · 07-01-2009, 02:17 PM

I didn't get it. You must be special.

Still, it's a misuse of our contacts here at CS. Thanks for letting Greg know. Did any of you respond?

Many spammers join forums like this to use the forums themselves or the contact lists for their solicitations.

I just posted to the other thread...this chic went so far as to get my cell phone number off my website, then call information to get me at home! Not real happy...

**Admin Greg** · 07-01-2009, 09:32 PM

Problem fixed. She is outta here!

ChefBeckyD · 07-01-2009, 09:40 PM

Thanks Greg - I knew you'd fix things!

pamperedlinda · 07-01-2009, 09:48 PM

When will people learn not to mess with a cheffer?! We don't put up with that kind of junk! LOL

ChefKrisB · 07-01-2009, 10:02 PM

Thanks Greg! And, I'm sorry about the website thing...I forgot it was there...so dumb of me!

Kris, I figured that's what happened, which is why I first posted a general comment about it that didn't point fingers. I apologize if I embarrassed you.

ChefKrisB · 07-02-2009, 08:52 AM

Oh no Ann...Truly, thank you for the heads up! I honestly forgot that it was listed and I'm so glad that you figured it out!!!

Thank you so very much!
I really appreciate you looking out for me...
