Look how many direct sales companies she represents - we're just kinda listed there on the side with the sex toys! And if you click, she is offering recruiting incentives - thats ok, she can do what she wants with her business - but if she is getting recruits - and makes Director - she can't represent another direct sales company!

How in the world does she have time for all this - to train her new recruits???? Crazy!!!
 
Wow, that is pretty bizarre.

Look at the banner ad flashing at the top once you click on the Pampered Chef link! She's taken stuff right off the main website and put it on hers!
 
I think I've seen this before. It's so weird though!

Obviously she's still active... She has the new starter kit listed.
 
How in the world can she keep track of everything to do all of that and do a good job?
I have trouble focusing on doing just one ds company, let alone umpteen million.

I think what I've before about this site is:

It is actually one lady, who sells spots on her site to people from different companies. She isn't representing the other companies, just letting a consultant from them advertise. Which is still against TPC policy, but explains why she is referenced as "we" throughout the whole site.

Still stinky, and not right.
 
Can't believe that site!
 
Tina Dore...hmm...anyone out east know her?
 
I haven't heard her name prior to tonight reading this thread and seeing her website.
 
Is the website against policy? I'd have to reread that policy...
 
It's says Chef Tina on the website
