Evette's Deception

Impersonation in Veterinary Online Communities

Evette, a national veterinary relief staffing company, is scrutinized for using at least one veterinarian's identity, possibly others, to infiltrate private Facebook groups and competitor platforms. This deception, spanning eight years, allowed Evette to gather information and potentially recruit veterinarians. Evette's CEO admitted to the wrongdoing but minimized the extent of the deception. The incident caused outrage within the veterinary community, particularly concerning the infiltration of Not One More Vet, a group focused on suicide prevention. Legal and ethical concerns are raised, as impersonation for commercial gain is a crime in Texas, where Evette is based.
