Laurice L. on oDesk

(No Ratings Yet)

Loading ...

Does anyone know someone by the name of Laurice L. who is offering her services as a Virtual Assistant on oDesk.com?

She has stolen my “Meet Danielle” text from my personal business site:

If you know this Virtual Assistant or have heard of her, please let me know how to get in touch with her. Thanks.

UPDATE 12/5/08: I emailed oDesk and also posted on their forum about the infringement. A user there flagged the offending account and offered condolences, but I never heard from anyone officially from oDesk. However, when I messaged oDesk earlier this week via Twitter, they said they “were on it.” Received an email today from Stephanie Crull of oDeck who informed me that the offending profile has been deleted from their network. Big thanks to oDesk for their responsiveness (although, it would have been nice to hear from someone directly a little bit sooner).

Lol. The first time I read it, I thought you meant she stole information from the backend of your website. I laughed when you realized what you actually meant.

How did you find out btw?

It came up on a Copyscape search, which I do once a month.

Your thoughts? Post a comment!

I'm a straight-shooter, but I don't mince words. Don't be afraid to do likewise, but don't bother if you are thin-skinned. I only play with grown-ups and those who want to talk smart business. (If you want a pic to show with your comments, get a gravatar.)

Never miss another post!
