It saddens me to see that someone would sink to this level in the first place. First of all, this dispute between the person that filed the report and myself has absolutely NOTHING to do with my Mary Kay business.
This FALSE rip off report is actually a retaliatory effort by a person that I filed a rip off report against (that took $1,000 from me about 7 years ago). They called me a week before this report was filed begging me to rescind the rip off report that I filed 7 years ago, saying that their photography business has suffered and that he cannot support his children because of what I said. I find it difficult to believe that what I said "sunk" his business, because there are at least 4 other rip off reports filed against this guy. I told him that even though 7 years had passed, if he wanted to refund my money, then I would be willing to post something to that effect. He got angry with me, swore at me, and thretened me...telling me that I would regret not taking back the rip off report. Honestly, I was scared that he would show up on my front doorstep.
Not more than a week later this FALSE report was filed against me (using a similar title for their report that I used in the report I filed 7 years ago).
I would invite this person to prove that I did such aweful things, in fact...I DEMAND that they provide proof!
First of all, I cannot solicite ANYBODY through my Mary Kay website. If someone would like to purchase product from me, they can find me. I do not have to beg for customers, nor would I even know how to solicit a potential customer from my website. In addition...they claim that I made nonstop phone calls and email through Facebook, yet they wanted to meet with me? This makes no sense at all. If I was being harassed via telephone or internet, I know for sure I would not want to meet with the person...that would be really scary...don't you think?
I pride myself and my business on operating by The Golden Rule. I am an honest, hard working business woman who would never in a million years do anything that was described in this fraudulent report against me.
I am a Sales Director with Mary Kay, and trust me, I would not have been able to retain my position with Mary Kay had this event actually taken place. I spoke with Mary Kay legal department, and they have never received any phone calls or complaints about me...additionally, they are aware of the report that has been filed. Mary Kay legal, along with myself are totally open to any questions regarding the claims in the report.
