~ SCAM ALERT!!!!

Well the world just gets uglier.
I was just notified by a customer/friend, that there is a website

www.lariveesewing.com that is offering kits AND patterns of my Little Nick & Cookie Klaus 
without my permission or having notified me, contacted me or even purchased from me as a wholesale or retail customer. I went to this website and sure enough, there they were, with MO MENTION of myself being the actual designer....

there is even another product listed on there that employs customers to purchase a cross stitch design to 'help out a young family dealing with cancer'....with no mention of the actual pattern designer's name.

and there are patterns from other designers of needlework on this website as well...

I called the number listed in their 'contact' info, and it took me to a shop in the USA that said they are receiving numerous phone calls from others concerned by this, 
and they told me their phone number was stolen and being used by someone internationally.
when you click on the websites 'customer care' link, it blathers on about refunds, tracking and shipping...highly suspicious!

*PLEASE DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS WEBSITE!*

IT IS A FRAUDULENT SIGHT AND THEIR ADVERTISING FOR PRODUCTS IS A SCAM*

PLEASE pass this info along to your needleworker friends!

I truly thank everyone who is vigilant against crimes like this...
it hurts hard working, self employed, small business owners such as myself.

Blessings from the Farm
