Unprofessional Business Acts
Monday, March 2nd, 2009Newest eBay Scammers
The scam may not be as serious as the title suggests, but it irks me just the same. Actually it’s not new either, but I’m just now figuring it out.
Apparently last year eBay banned the sale of digital products on the site. Really I don’t blame them, because I always questioned if some of those [...]
Candle Owners Beware
A few weeks ago I received an email about how our candles had been “tested and reviewed”, and had “been given a 5-start rating” by W.I.C Warm Impression. I thought this interesting and my red flag alarms didn’t immediately go off, so I read on.
Our site was listed on their site (just the link, not [...]
Just Once Is Fine?
We all get junk mail by the tons, most of which we never see. But the ones that bother me the most are the ones who think spamming “just once” is fine.

Scam Alert: New Samantha Kobs Scam
Today I got yet another spam email from Mrs. Samantha Kobs. This time she’s crossed a very large line.

Oh boy has this one hit home BIG TIME in the past couple of weeks. There is a huge spammer around right now who’s not only spamming a bunch of work at home moms … but also harvesting email addresses.
Between myself, Kara, Val and Lauren I’m guessing that we’ve now received probably over 50 of this women’s [...]
Unprofessional Business Acts – Unprofessional Direct Sales Representatives
Apparently the possibility of having the Unprofessional Business Acts a “regular thing” here is a good idea! I’ve had many requests to continue with this series and I’ll do my best to keep up with it. I do have a few more stories to share but, if you really want it to continue, make sure [...]
Sunday, March 23rd, 2008Unprofessional Business Acts – Unprofessional Message Board Owners
I think sometimes the words “business professional” is just way over-used. It often becomes a way to justify something that ends up being very unprofessional anyway. I have to say this too … some people never cease to amaze me.
The past couple of days I’ve either been witness to or heard of some really unprofessional [...]
