    Thanks for the reply. Its kind of reassuring to know others are in the same boat. I have read most of this thread but excuse me if this has been covered before, but has anyone gone to ebay about her? I can imagine it might not work but surely if enough people complain then they would begin to take action ?? Or maybe I am just naive.

    Loads of people have reported her to Ebay, she gets banned and then starts up a new ID and rips off more people :( Thats just the thin end of the stick it seems.

    welcome to MSE totty, I'm sorry you didn't find us in happier circumstances. Don't feel like an idiot, as you can see from this thread she has been conning a lot of people

    3 negs 57 positives.

    I can't help thinking this is being blown out of all proportion...
    The money, Dave...

    Well I have now read this post from start to finish and I must say it was far better than watching Jeremy Kyle!!!
    I want to say what a wonderful and supportive bunch (excluding a couple lol) you all are, working together to protect more innocent victims.
    I for one have learned alot about protecting my credit card details, although when ever I have made any on line purchases I have ensured that the sucure yellow padlock sign is at the bottom.
    Last year I was scammed myself, from an internet site by the nice sum of 3 grand!!! I ordered furniture of which never arrived, the police got on to her and found she had scammed over 20 grand out of folk, 3 grand of it mine!!Fortunately I paid using my credit card and this was recovered.
    Informing others of scams is important, and if everybody were to help each other, what a better world we aould all live in.
    To those of you whom are collecting evidence, I wish you all the best. To the OP good luck and I hope you are felling much better now.
    It would be nice to know the final outcome of this too.

    perhaps we are blowing out of proportion but all I know i know is that Ive paid for something and I havent received my item and that was over a month ago, no correspondance at all no acknowledgement of emails or anything...now I dont think thats right at all.

    Fraud is hard to blow out of proportion.

    I can't decide if he's either the fraudster herself, a troll or just stupid. :rolleyes:

    I do too, which is the least entertaining of the options. :(

    I find it best just to pretend they aren't there ;)
