OutdoorPros.com...SHILL!!!

Well, it seemed a bit "funny" that a new member today (with the username VanessaHof) posts a glowing review of a webz dealer in their first post. So I called them. She should at least been smart enough to not use her real name. After getting her reply, I said to myself: Self, this may be legit, but this is her first post, and she joined today. Let's call the number listed on the webz site and ask for her...

**Grabs phone, clipboard and pencil. Everyone knows if you have a clipboard and pencil, you're legit!**

Dials number, waits for Spanish intro to end...Hmmm...press 2...

"Hello, may I speak with Vanessa?"
"She's not available right now. Would you like her voice mail?"
"No, that's alright. Can you give me her email address?"
"Sure, its stupidshill@plumberssupply.com."
"Plumbers Supply? But I thought I called OutdoorPros?"
"You did. We just own the OutdoorPros website."
"OK, what's her last name?"
"It's Hoffman."
"Thanks, I'll call back later."

Too bad Vanessa thought she had to lower herself to shilling. That is a nice website with competitive pricing. But....after seeing the marketing strategy exhibited by Ms Vanessa, I think I'll just stick with the core vendors we have come to love on this forum.
