Yes, I'm policing. But I was so PISSED when I came across this. Check it out....

There are SOOOO many violations on this page!!! And NO WHERE could I find this Consultant's name or true contact info (which is, in and of itself, a violation). They skillfully added info-gathering forms for contact submissions that still doesn't disclose who they are.

You may see my post to them. If I don't get a response or it isn't brought down, I WILL report this one. This just pissed me off so bad! LOL!
 
You can also report the page to FB on the lower left side.Let us know if you get a response!!!!!
 
Yeah, that's ridiculous!! I saw Debi's post on there. I want to "like" her post, but sure don't want to "like" that page!

Great post!
 
I don't see your message posted, but maybe I have to "like" the page to see it? Or maybe it's already been removed.Just breathe! ;) I understand that she (or he) is violating the rules, and agree that they should have researched the rules & should be following them, but don't let them get you all worked up. Life's too short to stress out over people who do stuff that's not directly intended to hurt you. ;)But, if you REALLY need some stress relief & want to mess with them ... open the spam e-mail thread, copy that message & fill out her "contact me" form with the spammer's e-mail address. ;)

No, I haven't "liked" the page and I can see the post. I wonder why you can't see it?Oh I wonder if it's because I'm friends with Debi on FB? I don't know.
 
Weird. This is the first post I can see & all the other posts are older. I even looked at "top posts" and "most recent":

Here is what I posted:

Hi there. Just came across your page on FB. I wanted to contact you offline but since you have very skillfully ensured your name and Consultant information isn't posted anywhere on here, I cannot do that.

I suggest you check The Pampered Chef's Policies because you are in violation with this page in several ways. Those of us who conduct our businesses in compliance with the Home Office's policies and procedures would appreciate your compliance as well.

Thank you,
Debi Baldwin

NO! I was trying to see if I could see anything different if I "Like" her. I forgot to "Unlike" her again! Thanks!!!
 
Hee-hee...gotcha. It is so totally ironic that there is no name attached to it!! Maybe it is the same person that is sending out the HO lead scams. That would be very bad.
 
She seems to be generating traffice through something called Facebook Fan Fare. Are you guys familiar with that?

Nope, never heard of it.
 
I think you should report her directly to Pampered Chef. I am going to and I think we all should. I no longer give people the benefit of the doubt and just go directly to HO.

In this case, I can't fathom any reason for the benefit of the doubt. She is in violation of so many things....
 
So, I am bored and had nothing better to do today. I "liked" her and then wrote on her wall all the different rules that she was breaking with her page. Then I "unliked" her. My post stayed up for a few hours then she must have deleted it. I also reported her to Facebook. I sent the like to Home Office, but I have not heard anything from them. The only way to shut her down is if more people report her. It is just blatantly wrong.
 
I just went back and notice that she changed her info section and it now contains her personal information, ie her name, but still using the form for collecting infomation.

It would appear she doesn't have a PWS. My original post is still up. Hmmmm.... So Wendy, is she still in violation?
 
YES!!!! She is TOTAL violation.The policy is and has always has been that *We cannot represent OURSELVES as The Pampered Chef.* We are "Suzy Consultant, Independent Consultant for The Pampered Chef". She's not making that distinction.

Well, she now have that in her info. Her name and title. Just wondered if that little bit was enough to "cover" it. ;)
 
I don't think so because her page is representing her as TPC.Unfortunately, I don't think HO has a department/person who monitors this anymore.
 
It looks like what she's trying to do is use Facebook as her personal website to get around having to purchase a website.

I'm pretty sure that's not what HO is wanting to happen.
 
Okay - so I've never reported anyone. Don't usually get into that - BUT - just now, I did a search for PC from Swagbucks (I always do - for the Bucks!:money:) and the 3rd site that came up - even before PC's website was this:

.biz/susansagel

which means anyone searching for PC that way will come to this website first - even before the lead system.

Think I should let HO know?
 
YES YES and YES.
 
Done! :(

I just thought that one was extremely unfair to those of us in the lead system.
