It's stories like this that make PR firms and companies question the professionalism of mom bloggers. Thanks for blogging about this and making us aware of it.

How horrific!! The sad part is that someone - ANYONE - would think that lying to a company is a good way to "get something for free". Someone is always paying for it... in this case? Our community pays for it with our reputations being sullied. Sorry this happened to you hon. Thanks for posting about it the way you did.

That is totally insane. They have some nerve doing that to begin with! I think you handles this well. I honestly wouldn't have been able to be as nice.

Vandenberghe Fri, 14 May 2010 23:52:24 +0000 http://busy-mommy.com/?p=6340#comment-38664 I am not a blogger. I recently started entering contests on FB and Twitter and, in my eagerness, maybe didn't pay as good attention as I should. How will I be able to identify a fraudulent site/offer? I work for a Law Enforcement Agency and it would surprise me very much if these women are arrested/charged/convicted. The theft of product is obvious, but what about identity theft (which you should be able to pursue)? Hopefully the company involved has the funds and legal backup to pursue those two civilly and criminally. I feel bad for you and other legitimate bloggers, although I'm glad you discovered this. Maybe it will deter other like-minded scumbags from attempting to do similar unethical things. If there is a way you can let us know about her blog, I would appreciate it. I feel naive and vulnerable. and I'm mad someone is spoiling this for so many. Best wishes for the future.

I guess I do still hang on to the hope that everyone is not out to scam their neighbor. But this incident has killed that little hope of mine. This is what happens when The Free Range stupid are allowed to breed and roam in public. Oh and have internet access.. PS: I did my own post about this. It's sure to piss someone off. :P
