Re: Fake Oils

[Guest guest]

Hi Beth,

Thanks for that, but now she is getting all agressive with me, saying

things like:

" I cant believe you have people emailing me questioning my oils .ON

YOUR OPINION... "

and

" Thanks for the Problem w/people

emailing me about you and this chat thing As a matter of fact keep

them .Your getting refunded for

the two.Leave what ever feed back you wish....Dont email me again

thanks "

I am not sure she appreciates people emailing her about this, but on

the other hand, if you claim that you only sell pure essential oils,

you should do that...This is getting out of control, and is not worth

it.

Phew!

Don't you love it when people blame others for the consequences of their own

actions? She brought this on herself. I say good for you - sadly, sometimes

word of mouth is the best motivation for ethical business practices.

In the world of the internet, any seller should be aware that we're all

communicating, and the community has a way of sniffing (!? ;-) out the bunko.

I know that , the owner of Alice's, is very intent on the authenticity

of aloeswood. Sent some readers on a perfume forum to him today, in fact,

about Oud (the oil distilled from aloeswood), not to purchase, since he

doesnt' sell it, but to find out more about it. If you are talking about

***** from Singapore, maybe his aloeswood got vetted, but his musk pods

didn't. I vetted it with the help of some experts, and it was a con job.

**** if you want, write me privately, Beth, to see if it is the same seller.

Exactly. Happened to me with a longtime " trusted " EO seller, someone I used

to recommend. She had no idea what jasmine sambac or linden blossom abs

were, and was selling bunk.

You two didn't " stir things up " -- you put them out in the light of day to

be shown for what they are.
