How bliss is ignorance?
Apparently the Health Blogosphere has been scammed. For anyone that has heard of or knows of someone affiliated with the website Wellsphere, you may want to visit Dr. Val over at Get Better Health.
It seems that some health bloggers (approximately 1700) have been duped into losing content rights of their published blog content.
Please read more on this scam below.

A very big thank you to Dr. Val for providing this important information!

How sad. I admit that I got scammed. I am in the process of having my profile deleted, and in the meantime replaced all of the boxes in my profile with “WELLSPHERE IS A SCAM” in case they wanted to ignore my emails. How very sad that bloggers now have to watch out for things like this. I won’t let it happen again. Thanks for the warning!!

I emailed them and I’m off the site. My profile is gone. My old posts are probably still there but considering what I’m about to put up that is a very good thing.
Thanks for the heads up!

Glad I ignored their e-mails. I knew my being suspicious of accepting flattery from strangers would pay off some day.

I’ve had enough of end user licence agreements and terms and conditions!
I’ve stripped them off my site. Course now I can’t find a way of deleting my profile.
