Naming the product so ostentatiously is a bit of a giveaway. Don't touch with barge-pole!

Ha! I'm so glad that you published sample comments - they are ridiculous. I do hope that they stop pestering you though. Can you block their comments so that you don't have to deal with them?

These spammers have recently been targeting my blog too. Driving me crazy with their ridiculous fake conversations they like the create on my blog. I never approve them either.

I don't in any way understand the logic behind such stupid tactics as it reduces your product to nothing more than transparent lies. Any brand that feels the need to spam like this is a brand I don't trust. Period.

Having said that I did vent about a different eyelash company, no names mentioned, but they emailed me and said sorry and said they were trying to find out who was doing it. What got me confused was that I never mentioned the brand in my rant post yet they still knew it was them. Suspicious no? ;)

Funnily enough, when you Google 'Maximum Lash', your previous post "Stop Spamming Me, Maximum Lash" comes up in the top 5 results. So anyone looking for info about the product or company beyond what's on their own website is going to realise they're a bit dodgy. I'd actually be quite amused by their apparent lack of marketing skills here, except I feel bad that they're such an utter nuisance to people like you :(

I know these are a headache for you but I'm laughing, sorry:) It's just that they sound exactly like all the spam you get for dubious pills and erm... companionship services (trying to avoid words which would attract more spam). You have to wonder which clown is in charge of this brand, or if it even is a brand... it just sounds so much like the pill emails!

They sound like a maximumpainintherear!

There should be a way to prevent this kind of nuisance posting - hope 'Anonymous' gets the hint!

Just me, Leah said...

Ugh, how desperate! They are a seriously misguided company if they think anyone in their right mind would buy their product. Just on your experiences alone I'd never touch them with a bargepole!

It surprised me recently to have someone from the nail industry comment on my blog, because virtually no one reads me. It seems companies trawl the web so they can give themselves free publicity - and in this case - BAD publicity.

Argh I hate these kinds of spam comments! How stupid do they think we are??
