Re: [Everything doTERRA] Google search doterra plus your city- is this phishing??

I noticed this a couple of months ago and I wrote to doTERRA and got an
email back saying something along the line of, we thought we'd resolved
this they must be at it again. Right before Christmas I did it again and
had the same result. It takes you to their virtual office. Same last
name different first name so I reported it again and haven't heard
anything.
I don't know if it really bothers me if people use doTERRA in their URL
as much as it does that this is completely misleading. It implies that
they live in your area and can give support. Personally I think it
violates the URL rule and the spam rule. All I can suggest is that you
report it and if they get enough complaints perhaps something permanent
will be done.
It is a hassle especially when you are looking for events in someone's
area or are trying to find someone who might have a bottle you can get
somewhere in an emergency.
I certainly hope I never run into them at conference because the best
I'll be able to do is turn and walk away without saying anything. I'd
love to know who their diamond is.
