Dear Support,

My name is Victoria Johnson of Victoriajohnson.com. I am writing to confirm that the Victoria Secret email that you have reported on, on your web site is in fact a hoax and has NOTHING to do with me or my web site.

I have been bombarded with unpleasant email from surfers who think that the email is coming from my office and my web site. I would appreciate you printing this email on the Victoria's Secret Scam page on your web site to let everyone know the following:

1) Victoria Johnson and Victoriajohnson.com is not the originator of theVictoria's Secret Scam Email.

2) Victoria Johnson (the fitness celebrity) is not related in any way to Victoria's Secret

3) The Victoria's Secret email is a hoax and should be ignored if received.

Thank you for your assistance.

Sincerely,

Victoria Johnson
