An individual received a suspicious email from Brenda Baver, inquiring about their business and requesting a phone call. After some back-and-forth, it was revealed that the contact was a sales call aimed at recruiting individuals for a downline, which felt untrustworthy due to the generic nature of the email. The recipient noted that similar emails might be sent to others in their network. Additionally, they mentioned needing to pause personal coaching activities for personal reasons but expressed gratitude for support from the community. There was also a mention of receiving unsolicited calls from individuals attempting to promote their businesses, highlighting a common experience among members of the group.

I received the following email yesterday from someone named Brenda Baver at alittlehiker@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi,,
I just read you ad and have a question about your business.
Please call me at 614.xxx.xxxx EST, or email me yur number and I'd be happy to call you.
Thanks,
Brenda

I was suspicious because the subject line and content didn't jive (both my ad and my website have my contact numbers). After a little phone tag, we finally made contact. It was simply a sales call to see if I'd be interested in adding 10-15 people per month to my downline. While she sounded both nice and sincere (another gal trying to earn a living), I found the contact slimy. Her email was a generic blast, so some of you (or your downline) may get it as well. Save yourself the effort of responding.

ps - Thank you for the emails and the couple of calls I've gotten. All is well, though I've needed to put PC entirely on hold (except team coaching) for personal reasons. I may not be posting, but I'm still cheering you on!
 
Thanks for the info Kristin. I get weird calls every now and then from people trying to get me to do something for their business.

Hope things get back on track for you soon.

Hugs!
