Updated. MLM frustration

[amaranth]

Update: today someone else's profile is listed, so either she is just trying to flatter lots of people or FB links is being weird. Crisis averted, I hope.

Okay so my cooling off lasted until M went to bed. Lol. I do not know how to handle this situation delicately. Help!

There is a family friend who I speak to on Facebook relatively often (as in pic comments, status comments, not messages). Her family stays in close contact with my parents and to burn a bridge with her could hurt my parents.

She started selling a MLM makeup brand a few months ago and she won't leave me alone. I finally told her bluntly I was not interested and please stop asking me to buy things because I won't change my mind. Great, she stopped for like two months... Until tonight. I see this pop up:*removed to prevent googling*



And the link was MY profile! I thought maybe a generic link to anyone's, nope, mine.

Wtf do I do? This makes me mad.

Honestly, I would probably leave a comment on the status for the world to see that said something like, "Thank you for your kind compliments, but as we have already discussed this is not a venture I am interested in pursuing. I hope that you will respect my wishes and please know that if I ever am interested I will not hesitate to be the one to reach out to you."

[ewall]

Oh I would totally unfriend. It's Facebook, not the end of the world.

Yikes, if you don't want to unfriend I would send something similar to what katespade said and block her.

Oh my goodness. So obnoxious! I really like what katespade wrote. That is really classy and not rude. Very tactful way to say NO, stop bugging me! Much kinder than I would do...

My friend sells for another company posted this- it takes everyone to their own profile

It's a marketing thing

Yes, normally. But this person changed the link and it's mine with my name. 

eta: My sisters can click it and it also takes them to my profile, not their own.

Ooooooh THAT is messed up
Sorry :/

[awick14]

Wow that is so messed up. I can see the whole no matter who clicks on it it goes to their profile but to change it so that it only goes to yours is weird.

I am shocked at the brazen-ness of that. That would make me so uncomfortable! I like katespade's suggestion for responding.

(btw it's star gazer aka "moonbeam" for anyone wondering)
