Heads Up: Weird Promo Stuff & Fake Signups šŸ˜¬

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to give you a heads-up about some strange stuff thatā€™s been going on lately! Weā€™ve heard from a bunch of you that someoneā€™s been out there posting in different WordPress groups, social media channels, and even Slack, talking about ā€œfreeā€ downloads from Festinger Vault and linking to festingerwp.com like theyā€™re an affiliate.

Turns out, after some digging, we found that this person is indeed signed up as an affiliate but is hiding behind an anonymous ProtonMail account. And thatā€™s not allā€”theyā€™ve been registering what look like fake emails through our signup form, too. Yeah, weā€™re pretty frustrated about it. This isnā€™t how we roll, and it isnā€™t how we want to represent Festinger Vault. Weā€™re all about making WordPress accessible to everyone, but we do it fairly and in the open.

Weā€™re working to shut down this nonsense, but in the meantime, just know weā€™re not behind any of these shady tactics. Thanks for sticking with usā€”we appreciate you more than you know! If you spot anything off or have questions, just drop us a message.

Cheers,
The Festinger Vault Team
