    Marleyboy you are a legend! This is why I posted on here, love you guys :)

    I remember someone getting ripped off a few months ago and you managed to track down the guys facebook and everything, was hilarious :)

    Hairy: Where did you look that up? I did a whois.is search but didn't bring up her home number?

    TashaJayne - I would stop taking any further orders, and clear your current backlog of work.

    scroll to bottom of page, " claytoppers.com " appears under the heading Related Domains. Clicked on that and lo and behold, there's her phone number!

    Well no matter what she claims my friend has still has NO contact. She again tried to ring her, and annoyingly she's moved house since she registered the domain so that address and phone number are wrong! BUT we do have her new address from when she asked her to send a cheque :)

    Is there anything she can do other than making the long drive to Peterborough to knock on her door?

    Looking at her post history, its quite obvious to everyone, that she has a nasty habit of not fulfilling orders, and relies on the sympathy vote for excuses when exposed on any open forum.

    Even as low as using her own children (if she has any), so as to appear the victim in this, unfortunately, when such excuses are gathered up and put together, it has quite the opposite effect, especially when its clear she is prepared to use her own kids as pawns in this.

    Not sure how much such items cost, but Trading Standards should be informed, if paid by Credit Card, issue a chargeback from your bank, the last thing she would want is the bank chasing her up for non payment, they don't fall for any sympathy votes.

    Ultimately, exposing her tactics and methods (especially on MSE - which will put her on top pf the list of a Google search) will be enough to warn any potential customer, who would at first want to check her out, to look for a company that has less "family issues" effecting their business.

    I am not attempting to appear a victim or want a sympathy vote at all nor have I offered "excuses" and I certainly would never lie about my son being in and out of hospital - what kind of parent would?

    I came here to simply try and stop a client of mine worrying unecessarily - Yes, I have seen the posts that you put up, marleyboy and yes if you look at the detail of the post quite a lot of them are in fact made by the same person.!!!

    Well you have a chance to make things right now don't you. Look forward to seeing my friends topper before 1pm on Tuesday, as you promised :)

    And no they are not the same person, there are a lot of posts.
