DJOctaviasymphony/ponyadore Banned!!

[ponylady]

It is with great displeasure that we have to bring you this news on New Year's Day. 

DJOctaviasymphony has been banned!


It was through careful investigation that it was brought to light that DJOctaviasymphony is in fact ponyadore.  And as most of you will remember ponyadore caused much grief within our community, leaving members out money and items. I will add the previous links below dealing with ponyadore if you are not familiar.

We would like to please advise members that may have paid for their items through Paypal and not as a gift to file claims immediately.  If you paid as a gift I would contact Paypal directly.

And we would also like to please ask members who may be members on other boards to spread the word.  I know for a fact it was discussed on another board about the member in question going by email address's associated with DJ. The faster we can get the word out, the faster we as a community can stop this from happening to others.

Again we deeply regret having to bring you this news, especially for those who were waiting on items. 

Here are the links as mentioned above.

Sigh...  Twice in less than a year?  Some don't learn.

Well if she does read this return my item ASAP because I will be looking into mail fraud and credit card fraud.  I really appreciate that my suspicions have finally been confirmed.  Ill take this as a lesson learned.

That is seriously disgusting and I am so sorry for everyone who had the misfortune to be involved with her.

I figured there was something fishy after she was offering plush Honeycomb (with someone else's pictures!!), though.  What are the odds of a newbie American collector having something that rare?

Pony hugs to all those who were scammed by her and thanks to the mods for catching and banning her butt.

OMG, shocked.... I bought a Dewdrop Dazzle G4 off her, she was one of my first forum purchases.  I thought she was ok, then I saw a thread saying she'd messed up some trades/purchases and owed money and ponies.   Just thought maybe she'd gotten over her head and goofed.  Never thought she was a banned member trading under a new name.... wow, guess I was a lucky one.

[Babushka]

I'm not surprised given the giant thread and some suspicions.

Thank you mods for your amazing CSI skills - I appreciate it as a seller and buyer.

[octocorn]

I can't imagine what joy anyone would get out of scamming ponies.  I'd feel guilty every time I looked at them!  I hope all involved find a way to get reimbursed. 

[NoDivision]

*sigh* I'm so sorry for all the people scammed by this person - again. The way that thread was going I did not have high hopes.

[lovesbabysquirmy]

*siiiiiiiiiiiigh*  I am very sad to hear this.  I was really hoping that it could be worked out for people who are still waiting on items/money. 

[LadySatine]

Wooooooooow...thanks mods.

Same here! I bought the four G4 Walmart posters from her as my first forum purchase and she was great. I wonder if she was just trying to build up good feedback so people would trust her? I hope everyone that got scammed by her gets their money/trades back. I'm so sorry this happened to you guys. Thank you mods.

[Dragonflitter]

Oh man, just found this thread, I'm saddened and disgusted! I feel weird that I had a transaction with her that eventually worked out okay, though it was a hassle. I had no clue at all that she was ponyadore!

Thank you mods for your help. Sorry I couldn't be more help in your research since I deleted my pm's with her once we finished our trade.

[Malicieuse]

Well, she took my money. I don't think i can do much now.
I only recently started buying over the arena so it kinda sucks to already get scammed.
I'm mostly disgusted by how she kept on lying though. Ugh...

[michelle53]

This is shocking.  I followed the threads about her, and was willing to give her the benefit of the doubt.  Unreal.  This woman is a nightmare.

Dj/ponyadore, leave this lovely community alone.  You've done some serious damage to some very wonderful people.  We all trusted and believed your ridiculous PayPal/bank story, and many of us cared enough to offer suggestion, help and support.  Go back to whatever hole you crawled out of and stay there. 

Way to go Mods!  What a lousy way to spend your new year though.

They may do something IF everyone files a mail fraud charge against her and OR contacts paypal. If a large enough group gets together, paypal will go after her.
