Subject: illegal use of my name and posts by YOUR company
I'm currently furious about something I just found.
This domain
https://healingmeditationsdownloads.wordpress.com/ is owned by your company according to Whois. Why would your company think it's OK to start a blog using MY admin name, raquiellet, with posts that all point to MY work, using a blog name similar to a blog that I used to have. I think I would be a little less pissed off if I found out that the domain owner was just some guy in Asia who stupidly thought he could gain something this way.
No...it's a company! Shame!
Google, Yahoo and any review sites mentioning your company are about to get an earful.
