Avon emails not from the Avon Rep

My customers are getting Avon emails with sales that aren't given for me to offer. When they click on it, it bypasses my e store and goes straight in to Avon. So I don't know how many of my customers have ordered with everything going straight to Avon and I get no profit. I pay for the books and samples, gas, footwork and all the other advertising and work so then Avon steps in behind my back and takes my profits! I keep my customers on an automatic mailing list that apparently they stop whenever they want! Shame on them!

avon scammers

I have also received the email from Lillie Walton me telling me she would like to order products, looking back there my emails i also recieved one that is from a Cynthia Thomas, i am not sure who she is but her email stated the same thing that Lillie's did..only saying that she would like to buy product, i being new to avon thought she must have been in my area and wanted or needed somethings, i gave her my number and have heard nothing back, but am goin to run her name along with the modeling companies name and see what comes up. I looked over this order as many of you did and thought that it was strange that they wanted to order products from me considering i am in Washington state, but will not be placing this order for this person now that i have read all your comments on this, Thank you so much for the heads up on this scam. I am so glad i looked into this ladies name and modeling company before ordering for her.

Avon representatives BE AWARE of Wendy Ponto!

This is the email I received from Lillie Walton <[email protected]>, which I'm sure is a bogus name. The whole thing is just suspicious and obviously some kind of a scam. I emailed back and told this person that I couldn't do business with someone who doesn't live in my area and that they would be better off contacting a rep in L.A. Of course, I don't really want them to do that. I just wanted to be rid of the person. She's coming for a "showbiz." That made it really obvious to me that this person isn't even in this country.

Hello
