Thought-We-Couldnt-Create-Our-Own-PC-Website

[armywyf]

Ok, so I am new and all but I thought we couldn't "make" our own PC website... It has to be thru CC and Pampered Chef...

http://www.wynetteskitchen.com/

 

[PampMomof3]

Nope! Totally not allowed! Forward this to [email protected]

 

[jbdowd0798]

i like the look of ours better! ha ha ha

 

[armywyf]

Yeah me too, its not a very attractive website.

 

[pampered.chris]

wow!! Can you tell when this was created? I wonder how long it has gone unnoticed!!

 

[PamperedLady1979]

How long does it usually take for HO to act? I reported this same site 3 weeks ago.

 

[jwpamp]

I remember seeing this name on something before..."wynettes kitchen"...hmmm...she may have had another and gotten caught so she changed it???

Anyone submit the info and see what happens?

Tooooo crazy!

 

[etteluap70PC]

looks like she hasn't updated in a while .... theme show recipes are from 2 years ago!

 

[Jenni]

It ends Sept 11 2008.... you can get some info if you right click while on the page.

 

[Flamingo]

It says "created 8/24/08" I think she has some nerve........................

 

[Jenni]

No thats the date right now... it thinks you are going to modify it!

 

[Flamingo]

ok my bad........................

 

[Jenni]

ok my bad........................

I thought the same thing but hubby laughed at me... he is a website designer.

 

[chefshawna]

I have found this website before but wasn't sure how to forward an attachment, so I hope you report it!!

 

[armywyf]

I did and PamperedLady1979 said she did too so we'll see what happens

 

[vwpamperedchef]

I remember seeing this one before---the name is one that is recognizable....she must get shut down and then recreate......you'd think she'd realize......but I know I've seen it before

 

[chefshawna]

Was her site one of the recipe sites for Pampered Chef?? Like the PP I also recognize this name from something besides this site.

 

[Jenni]

I don't get it is she to cheap to get a website, or does she just get there contact info then send them to her site?

[paigev71]

I found it interesting that in the wording, she called herself the "area's preferred/choice" consultant....a bit arrogant I would say. I hope Home Office doesn't delay taking action on these sort of things.

 

[PamperedDor]

Someone on here MUST know her upline - they should inform her if HO hasn't already - unless she is just a rule breaker continuely - then she should be booted off !!

 

[pcchefjane]

Wonder if she is connected to the lady from eBay?

 

[paigev71]

I did a search just to see....she has a PWS. It makes no sense to even have this one then.

 

[ChefBeckyD]

I did a search just to see....she has a PWS. It makes no sense to even have this one then.

Makes sense from her point of view...this one can be googled, and it comes up. With just a PC website, that wouldn't happen.

However, if she has done it before and is caught doing it again, her contract with PC can be terminated.

 

[lmradlein]

I know when I was looking into joining PC...I searched on line and found this link back in March of this year. When I called HO to confirm that this wasn't allowed they said that the web page would be taken down ASAP! Well, I never went back to see if it was taken of ... just thought since HO said they would take care of it they would ......well I guess since it is still there maybe more of us need to call/email them. I hate it when there are folks out there that break the rules

 

[pcchefjane]

Yeah....and then again she may have taken it down for a week or two and put it back up with changing a letter or two in the name of the website. I can't imagine this costs less than the $9 a month we pay for ours and it looks much more professional. This looks like a child did it IMHO!

 

[pamperedharriet]

All I can say is some nerve she has doing this. I hope HO does something about her soon. This is totally unfair for the rest of us.

Tooooo crazy!

Yes Janice, I remember this one too!

 

[janetupnorth]

It was created in fall 2006, updated in August 2007, and just updated recently...

 

[KellyTheChef]

The looks of this site is PRECISELY why we are NOT allowed to make our own! It looks trashy and cheap compared to our professional looking ones from HO. That is also why HO limits the use of HTML code on our sites...so they can't get too "busy" and silly looking!

 

[IAmChefJ]

LOL -- we've all got her phone number. How about we all call her... on a schedule... about 5 minutes apart. For like... 3 hours.

How funny, I hadn't even thought of that

 

[laurichef]

That might be fun...

Let Wynette Shumate be Your Pampered Chef Independent Consultant.

... she's obviously not an Executive or above!

 

[pcchefjane]

:angel:I think it would be fun to call her like that. Anyone want to set up a schedule?

 

[PChefPEI]

If she keeps redoing the site, why doesn't PC just "fire" her as a consultant for breaking company rules to this extent??

 

[PChefPEI]

LOL -- we've all got her phone number. How about we all call her... on a schedule... about 5 minutes apart. For like... 3 hours.

LOL!! Let me know what time to call!

 

[janetupnorth]

Just report to HO and let them handle it.Calling may cause you issues!

 

[chefann]

And calling her that often could be construed as harassment, which could get those involved into a whole mess of legal troubles themselves.

 

[pcchefjane]

:angel:Okay...I'll be good then!

 

[janetupnorth]

Yeah, that's what I was thinking but saying it nicely...Ann went straight to the point! :thumbup:

 

[ChefKrisB]

Ok, I've reproted this site twice in the last 6 months...when will HO do something? Does anyone know how long it usually takes?

They might have done something and she waited and brought it back...

On a related note, listing your PWS address in the homepage field on your profile here creates a link to it. Which is against policy. Please remove your PWS info if you have it there. (User CP > Edit Your Details > Home Page URL)

 

[PamperedLady1979]

I'm calling HO right now about this since it's been a few weeks since I reported it and her site is still up....

I just got off the phone with HO and they are "looking into it". I was told they will follow up with me once it has been investigated.

Funny though...I gave them her name and they couldn't find any consultants by that name but she still has her PWS?

I thought the same thing!! I have looked at it a few times and just this last time I realized there was more info if I scrolled down. But this is trashy looking. The PWS we have is SO much better!!

That's not necessarily true. I haven't received follow up about any of the violations I've turned in, other than a canned "thanks for letting us know" note.

She may be using her maiden name or something for her "unofficial" website - that's possibly how she's been able to fly under the radar for so long?

 

[armywyf]

I understand why we can't have websites outside of the PWS. My first thought is that she wants your email to tell you how to order online, then what she forwards you to her PWS or does she get your info over email? Personally it sounds shady to me, my first thought was that she isnt really a consultant but if she has a PWS I guess she is. See how suspicious I am LOL It just doesnt look professional.

 

[chefann]

Not only are we not allowed to have a non-PWS PC site, we're not supposed to post online that we are consultants. So even if this was just to collect info and redirect people to her PWS, it's against policy.
