I had a very odd phone call yesterday about one our employees in Bournemouth, who was allegedly on drugs, been caught stealing and was clearly an all round bad egg from a "concerned" member of the public.
When I explained we don't have any employees by the name given, plus we don't have an office in Bournemouth, the caller told me that's not what it says on Joe Bloggs Facebook page.
So a 30 second search on Facebook and low and behold we have seemed to gain an employee in Bournemouth
Now I have no idea if this chap is the claimed Mr big of the drugs world, or if he simply dreams of working for such a wonderful company like hours But it's all a bit odd.
So I thought I would ping Facebook and ask them if they could remove this chaps supposed connection to My Local Services, and started wading through treacle. The way to do it seems is to report a Trademark infringement as he is claiming to work for a company that doesn't.
Oh well, just another day in the life... Have filed a Trademark infringement, got an automated response saying FB are investigating, so shall see what happens...
If you happen to gain some employee impostors, the Facebook Page you need is here: Trademark Report Form
