Blooms Today phony listing

[David]

Came across in yahoo a phony listing for blooms today. The location is a wholefoods market.

Notice Teleflora, FTD and 800 flowers logo prominently displayed on page.

Well that has to be the wierdest web page I have ever seen... nothings click-able... except the order button which takes you HERE

It says "Walk in location only" at the bottom of the page... is there a florist at that address? The ADDRESS looks residential?

This is the same affiliate who I posted about in the Save the Florist thread.

Please file a G spam report and let the TF folks know, too since their logo is part of it.

You might even want to forward a link to the BT folks. As distasteful as their business model is to me, I've never seen them stoop to using fake locations.

Yep.. that's it Rhonda... I am still chuckling! :O)

I doubt it.
