definitely spam & a scam

I mean after I called the guy and warned him not to advertise again

and put his posts on moderation, he set up our calendar to send us a daily

post about the product!!

and get this, several weeks later, he even thought I was a moderator on the

official board and tried to get me to approve a post there!!!

never mentions endorsing such a product and the way they are trying to

prey on Tae-Bo fans strikes me as very unethical.

I really think 's legal reps should come down on this guy HARD

, I received it, and I forwarded a copy to TQ. I'm thinking they just

got our e-mail addresses off of her site.

Susi,

Thanks for letting us know. After re-reading the e-mail, that's what I

kind of figured, because the way they word it is " now, from the people

who brought you the Tae-Bo tapes " or something like that. It never

actually says Blanks takes these products. But, whoever sent

that e-mail should be ashamed of themselves.

>>

I agree with you , it can seem confusing. That's what I pointed out

in my EM to TQ. " Tae-Bo " and " Blanks " are the key phrases these days

and if you don't really take time to read or listen, things can end up being

taken out of context. So just by seeing his name people might think it's

something that he takes or try to turn it into something that it's not. TQ

said she'd post on the boards and help clear this up.

sadly, I'm sure they will hook some folks and make some money off them. I'm

not so sure the disclaimer TBQ wrote on the boards will be a deterrent but

can understand the need not to completely slam the company if they distribute

TB tapes. However, how far are its unethical sales reps allowed to go before

having the TB plug pulled? They are trying to get rich riding on 's coat

tails, plain and simple. The practices I have seen them do loses all

credibility in my mind.

Barb

who would prefer it if TB tapes were not distributed by such folks
