Legal threats

I own the Debbie Mumm company and I am outraged that you show a link to our web store - debbiemumm.com - in connection with a story about an eBay human trafficking scandal. There is absolutely no connection between Debbie Mumm, Inc. or our web store to this issue. How incredibly irresponsible on your part.

My attorneys will be addressing this matter and I expect an immediate response as well as immediate removal of any mention of our web store on your site.

Name and address supplied

Oh dear. Some people just don't get it, do they?

We would like to point out that we have in no way associated your god awful site with human trafficking or eBay. We have clearly shown the link in question by highlighting it and have only shown your Google ad in situ as it appeared in a Gmail inbox that happened to mention the word 'mum'.

I look forward to hearing from your attorneys, as I'm sure they'll piss themselves laughing as much as we did when we recieved this email.

If you honestly think that any right minded person could associate your web site with human trafficking then you obviously have a low opinion of yourselves or something to hide.

I can't help but think you're taking this whole thing far too seriously. Maybe you should take a look back at your new year's resolutions. Specifically number 4...

Oh, and just so you know, if you'd sent a nicely worded email requesting the image be obscured we would have done it, no questions asked. Legal threats just don't cut the mustard in this office.
