I Guess Someone Reported My Unintentional "Link".

[AJPratt]

If it wasn't so serious, I would have to laugh. Of all things! I just got this email. I could swear, I would NEVER put it up as part of my Amazon profile. Let's be serious, I'm one of those consultants who report the ebayers. I take the agreement VERY seriously. The way it was up there just looked weird, and I like to be much more professional-looking than that. It appeared as "Anne Prattwww.pamperedchef.biz/". Maybe I copied it to there by accident, thinking it was my browser? I dunno. I doubt they would believe that anyway. So, I removed it and hopefully everything will be ok. They even sent a notice to my director. In case there are any real rule breakers, just be careful! I guess I should thank whoever reported it because it didn't look right. LOL

[rennea]

Oh Anne you sinner

 

[lacychef]

Always a rebel aren't ya?
I think they report everything to your director; when I had a complaint this summer, they called my director to tell her about it.

 

[AJPratt]

I am bad, aren't I?!

It just looked sooo weird! I mean, who would set something like that up as a signature, anyway?

My director will be as surpised as I am! She's always calling ME asking about guidelines-LOL!

Oh my! I went back and changed my last attachment so that it didn't include my web address, but I hope it's not floating out in internet-space anywhere...yikes!

 

[lisacb77]

Well Janice if it was I'm sure they'd have let you know!

[ldanti]

[raebates]

Thanks, everyone~!

I'm confused a bit. I went to the "NEWS" link on this website and "Pampered Chef" link right at the top of the Pampered Chef News newsletter was sent to a number of PC products on ebay. I thought you couldn't do that yet it was a direct link from ChefSuccess.com. What is that about?

 

[sillylittlechef]

I just tried going to news and clicking on pampered chef (best pampered chef sites) it gave me a listing of different sites, and the top one is ebay, but I don't think that has anything to do with chefsuccess....and chefsuccess is not affiliated in any way with The Pampered Chef. It is just a site for consultants to get advice from other consultants. The Pampered Chef does not set this up. So, even though we are not allowed to do something by our agreement with PC there are always those out there that just can't help but break the rules!
