Burda Style For people who sew

I understand that people are desperate to sell their merchandise in these economic times, but this user is advertising for her etsy shop, which might even be ok, except that she didn’t make what she has posted.
The link is here:

Or am I being too stringent?

  You are correct. Items posted are to be made by the person that is posting. I have removed the post, as someone had marked it as inappropriate on the page.

  In the future if you run into these types of post please contact me with the link either by message or on my wall. As soon as these items are brought to my attention they are removed.

  Thanks so much for reporting such issues and keep sewing with a smile from your friendly Burdastyle Moderator!

    It looks like spam to me as well, but I will let Rachel handle that one. She likes to send a email first on ones like this before removing.

    Thanks for keeping an eye on these spammers!
    Happy sewing!
