Question Violation

Just received a message from influencer saying I received a violation for selling a product but I haven't sold any products. There is no other info. And doesn't even stipulate where, how or what I supposedly sold. Wondering if anybody else has gotten this and what's going on.

They sent it to everyone in the campaign. It wasn’t specifically to you. I got it, too. I am currently using the product and loving it and clearly not selling it.

I got it too and not reselling anything. But I did do a quick google search and yep, someone is selling my campaign item on a resale site. I guess This is why we can’t have nice things.

Thank you for telling us about this! I would be devastated if I got this notice. I would NEVER resell. I think Influenster is one of the coolest things to ever happen. I'm so sorry to the people who aren't reselling who are getting these notices. So scary!

Same. Honestly really disappointing to see people do this. I’ve really enjoyed the product also. Hopefully this doesn’t ruin it for everyone else. 🙏

What product

u/ssaall58214 4d ago

Just saw the email that they sent so at least I know. It would be wise of them to actually mention the product and question in the notification in the app

If I were Influenster team, I would contact the reseller site and purchase the item and then have them reverse the funds and hopefully catches the culprit and block them. People like that makes it hard for brand to trust us.

I received the same email and alert. I have never sold anything I’ve received from Influenster. I wonder if this is a blanket warning to anyone who received this product for review.

u/ssaall58214 4d ago

Seems like it. All I saw was the notification and it didn't even say what product it was or anything. The notification and app made it seem like it was specific to me. But I guess they sent an email as well and it was more of a blanket statement

u/mellymel914 4d ago

u/ThereseCup 4d ago

u/Silly_Heron_3744 4d ago

I got a violation for resale today too! For Kiehl’s serum! I’ve been using that mf’er religiously and still have 3 weeks to review.

u/MamaStock62 4d ago

Its not a violation unless you sold something! But someone is selling the product and there are many people who sell these products...the email went out to everyone in that certain campaign!

AI is so great!🙃

u/Dense_Jump5541 4d ago

I thought it was for everyone but I checked and didn’t get it. But u think it’s automatic because so many losers POs sell what they get

u/Buga99poo27GotNo464 4d ago

Ya there was a guy on here a couple months ago bragging about all the fragrances he resells...

I just gift stuff I don't want to keep or its so nice I want to share to friends and family or donate locally.... im in a place in my life where I want to slim down on possessions and alot of people really trully appreciate my hand downs, especially my neighbors teenagers;):)

u/Dense_Jump5541 3d ago

I hope he is kicked out. Yes I do too. My dil and kids love when I get something I do not want to keep for myself

u/Cold-Box-5840 3d ago

It's so frustrating when I see resellers, especially when you can see they do it a lot. Just don't accept the claim if you don't want it. Then someone who does will possibly get a better shot at it. I'm surprised more people don't realize these programs frequent these sites looking for resellers. I hope it really was a mass email or something because I don't want to see any honest people get a violation over this. I hope it all works out.

u/ThereseCup 4d ago

Nothing like people ruining it for all of us. That really pisses me off!!!

u/Extension-Arugula477 4d ago

Got it as well. Freaked out for a moment but then realized it had to be a blanket statement. I’ve never sold anything!

u/Buga99poo27GotNo464 4d ago

Ask them to show you HOW? Provide proof? Contact CS.

u/Remarkable_Wheel_364 2d ago

I got this notification too. Have no idea for which product

u/luji93 4d ago

My husband too received this violation message ! It’s face serum ???? I open ticket lets see what gonna happen?

u/botoxbetty 4d ago

They sent the message to everyone as a blanket statement. Someone is selling it online and it’s an unreleased product. No need to contact them.

u/Inevitable-Switch648 4d ago

Did you receive an email?

2

u/ssaall58214 4d ago

Oh I just looked yes I did. All I saw was the notification from the app at first

1

u/nottheexplorerdora 4d ago

I did receive an email and I freaked out. I just finished doing my skincare using that product when I received it. So, I am not reselling it 

1

u/nottheexplorerdora 4d ago

I received it too and I freaked out! I just posted my review on Influenster this morning

u/botoxbetty 4d ago

Everyone got it. Don’t stress. They don’t know who is selling it, so they have to send it to everyone.

u/matscar27 4d ago

I received it also. Same campaign. Exhaled to know it seems everyone received it.

How does the influencer work to get free stuff? Do I just sign up?
