Well that makes THREE glitter Applejack ponies she sold.
Make that 4 glitter applejacks...lol
I opened a paypal case so hopefully things work out, but it is a bummer!
Apparently she had a Glitter Applejack and Glitter Big Mac on hold for me too. I gave her $5 to hold them for me a couple more days... Wow she must have had a lot of them... She also told me to pay through gift when I was ready to make the payment...

i dont think she did. i asked her if she had more then 1 and she said she only had one each.
and she asked you to send it as a gift?
yeah i was told that she worked 3 jobs. and that she was on her "honeymoon' at disney. and that she was in orlando. and she lived in miami.

Yea she never told me she was out of town... Kinda happy that I don't have to come up with that $50... I was having second thoughts but I already told her I would buy them and wouldn't do that to somebody after they were holding them for me... This just saddens me...
I too thought it was a bit too good to be true, regardless I know it sucks to be involved in this predicament.
I hope everyone is able to get their money back!!

At first I thought it was to good to be true too... But, then I remembered somebody selling Twilight and Trixie on Facebook for $25 a piece so I thought it wasn't to far fetched... But, I do hope everybody gets their money back. :)
I bought Trixie, AJ, AND Big Mac off her almost immediately after it was posted. We spoke back and forth a few times, so Ididn't have a problem with communication at alll. I fisured, meh...if i get them I'll be happy. If not, I'll open a dispute since I paid via "goods and services" option this time! Yayy!! Ii
I'm still going to give her the benefit of the doubt for a little while longer...I'm sure she'll be made aware of this thread and will hopefully show up to put everything at ease. We have a 45 day window with PayPal, or is that just through eBay sales?
Why the hell would you start a sales thread, knowing that you are working 80 hours a week, then getting married and going on your honeymoon, not bothering to tell most of your buyers, and not bothering to ship your stuff. I would love to give her benefit of the doubt, but I smell big ole scam here.

What I don't get about scammers is do they not think they will get caught?? Like really?
I'll edit the original post with new info when I get to a computer. Pretty safe to say at this point to me it's a scam.
You can also get results if you call PayPal. I gave them the email I sent money to and warned them this person has other complaints for the same thing. What saved my money despite sending as a gift was that my purchase note stated it was clearly for an item.
Just noticed too that her paypal is unverified...So if her Paypal was unverified, that means it isn't connected to a bank account. That means she couldn't remove the money, but only send it to someone else, correct? How does Paypal get the money back if there isn't an account to take it from? Does Paypal foot the bill for reimbursement it if it can't be recovered?
I believe under the Paypal buyer protection though, if the seller can't prove delivery via online viewable tracking, then Paypal will debit the sellers Paypal account for the refund. If the sellers Paypal account is drained, then Paypal will refund out of their own pocket.
Did she tell anyone else that she had shipped?

Ug, how horrible. We're going to keep seeing this, though. MLP has become huge and has already attracted the China counterfeiters, the little scammers looking to make a quick buck aren't far behind. I'm surprise we haven't seen any fake rare g1s yet.
Did she tell anyone else that she had shipped?
Yes, but no tracking number lol
Just as a heads up, someone on the TP under the name of mlpsunny has a thread about selling funko glitters. She claims they are all sold. I'm going to assume they are the same person?Yes, they are. When I asked for sales feedback, vintageponysunny linked me to mlpsunny's MLPTP profile, which had two positives.

Adding that into the OP.
ETA: It looks like there's another user on MLPTP with the exact same topic title, same typing style, same product, and same "PM me for pictures on Photobucket" bait. I'll bet dollars to donuts it's the same scammer under a different name. Disappointing people would go that low to steal.
It's possible that her paypal account is connected to a prepaid credit card, that would make it quite easy to scam with little to no repercussions for her :mad:

While that maybe true, these folks, as I previously stated are protected under Paypal's buyer protection. They will get their money back as long as it was not paid as a gift. :)
I opened a case against her today...if she linked you to her eBay sales, can you get in touch with eBay and say she's a scammer? I didn't think you could open a PayPal account without linking it to a bank account or credit card :huh:
Well that's interesting. When I asked for Ebay and/or Etsy feedback, she told me she didn't have an Ebay or Etsy account, only the MLPTP account.Just as a heads up, someone on the TP under the name of mlpsunny has a thread about selling funko glitters.

she linked me to her ebay. for her feedback. it had no selling feeback and only three buying feeback. it praoably is her. she knows were onto her here and is proably going to try it over there. cna soemoen post over there that shes a scammer? whathca wanna bet it isnt even her pictures.t hat she stole the photos?
Lorelei you are allowed to post her eBay ID, just no personal information, such as First/Last name or email address. If you want to personally email those to Ringlets or I that would be fine.
so i typed in her email into facebook. and i was rather surprised what i found.
This is awful. :( I need to tell you guys though that a few years ago I was part of a huge cloth diaper swap and sell. Occasionally you'd get scammers who had no bank accounts linked to their PayPal. Disputes would be filed and basically because there was no money in the PP account the people who got scammed had to wait until the scammer got money in their PayPal accounts again. People lost very small amounts and also very large amounts (in the 100's). I pray that PayPal's policy has changed because it's been about 5 years since I've been a part of that community but PayPal basically told them they were in the right but that they couldn't get their money back until there was money in the PP account for PayPal to take :(
hmmm wonder if its legal for us to post on her wall and comment about how much sehs is a scammer and possibly email her.. or would that be harrasment?

I think that USED to be true- (that happened to me too back in the day) - but I think now Paypal has better protection (although I can't swear to it having not had the opportunity to test it outside of ebay). Hopefully it will work out even though her email address is unverified.
What a sleezebag this person is.

This too. I had thought about contacting the Brony1979 ID a few days ago because I really wanted to get a glitter Twilight but didn't want to pay $100+. Glad I didn't though. So, they tried to pull the same multi ID stunt on the Arena as they did on the TP.

yeah. this is ridiculus.. well there are people out there who wnat nothing to do but scam. sadly.
at least the thread was locekd. i just hope nobody on the Trading post was scammed.
as for the multiple id. i wouldnt be surprised if seh trys to come back under a differnt id.
Her TP info shows her photobucket account to be called "lifeofahellokittynerd." Typing that into Google gets me Tumblr, Instagram, possibly Pinterest (I'm at work and a lot of sites are blocked), et cetera. She's certainly not offline.

Yea Facebook she posted something 10 hours ago! hmmm I think she can hop onto the arena real quick.
Meh. Sounds like she got to a lot of people. Being from outside of the States, it may be difficult for me to press charges against her for fraud...she probably thought that each person, only having lost $100 or less, wouldn't bother, but I'm pretty sure PayPal won't be as lax in their dealing with her.
If someone knows her address or full name, they should definitely press charges. I'm sure all of us would be willing to sign declarations regarding what happened. I would. Fraud is a serious business.
It would not be illegal to post on her wall that she defrauded a bunch of people. Just stick to the truth and stay away from insults or threats of violence.

So, I was doing some googling... and I found her email address that she gave to me for her paypal linked to a Youtube video and there is a guy talking about a carboot sale so he is def not from florida but she is...And, the video was uploaded 2 months ago... I don't know if that sounds fishy. Also, there is a facebook page that has the end that says lifeofahellokittynerd. Lots of Instagram, tumblr and other things.
Also, read on her instagram with the glitters that she found 3 which were applejack, big mac, and trixie in her small town and she tagged crazyponylady... So, I believe the pictures were hers but of her own collection that she found.
I think perhaps we should leave it up to the police. Report her in her hometown, and they'll deal with the rest. If you post on her Facebook or wherehaveyou, that can be used against YOU as well. I'm waiting a bit to call the cops, personally. I need more information, and not enough time has gone by for me to definatively say that the goods have not been shipped or will never be shipped. I don't have a case yet in the eyes of the law.

I completely agree with this...
seriously. they has got be better ways to make money.
makes me double think the times i send as a gift.
i often will if i talk to the person alot or if i've done mulitple trades, maybe i can't do that anymore.
Thanks -
I am currently filling out a criminal complaint for an internet crime, I would encourage you all to do the same. https://complaint.ic3.gov/default.aspx?
I don't think it is overly harsh at all. At the very least, she needs to learn that she really can't steal from people and get away with it.

It's called getting a job, but there are so many people who want to cheat the system, it's ridiculous. Make a fast buck off people who are trusting, then flounce off. Then those trusting people aren't so trusting anymore. It makes it harder for actual honest newbies to get anywhere. I remember how hard it was just getting a few first sales here and that was over a year ago. I had really good stuff, but it seemed 'too good to be true,' even if it was true that I had really only bought for several years on ebay, and didn't want to sell on ebay despite having a powerseller account. :/
I hope everyone gets their money back, and yes, do file with the police. If she least gets a slap to the wrists( and with our system, you know that's all she'll get ), it may least make her think twice next time. If she gets away with it, she'll only do it again and again. :/
Great- so she is trying fraud both ways.
Welp. For those of you who were defrauded- this woman's contact info, which you will need for any police report or for the online fraud report I've linked above, is:

so now we have the name address and info we need. great.

But yeah its best to leave it to Paypal and the cops , not harrass her on Facebook even if she deserves it
Ridiculous though that when people started filing reports for her sale fraud, she turns around and tries to file claims against anyone she bought from. What an idiot- thanks to that little move I was able to report her current contact information :biggrin:
It's a shame she is doing this when she has a 5 year old at home. I wish people had to pass some kind of basic test before having kids...
She's not actually a kid although her actions suggest a pretty significant lack of maturity. According to a basic background report, she is 39.
If she was born in 1979 as someone said before she'd be 34 or 35.She's not actually a kid although her actions suggest a pretty significant lack of maturity. According to a basic background report, she is 39.
39 really? If that's her on her FB she looks really young for her age.
I really do feel bad for everyone that got taken in by her, I'm surprised that in this day and age, with all of the technology and everyone being connected, that someone can take it as far as she has.

She seems to be gone and I'm a little sad and worried that our genuine interest in her items and requests for photos somehow scared her off? :( I don't want to offend anybody, I just want to be friends with everypony! :grouphug:Well it was very weird, she had time to make a new thread to complain about the requests for pictures but never sent pics or posted them on her sales thread :) ,so that tells you something fishy was going on , and well she was done because all her items "SOLD" overnight :)

Persistent little bugger, isn't she? >_<
So far there has been no reply to my dispute. Pretty sure she just thought she'd take the money and run. Doesn't work because if she ignores every dispute filed against her, she's going to be in the red very quickly. I'm very confident I'll get my money back, but it's still pretty disappointing since I really wanted that pony and I hate dishonesty in all its forms.
If you have not filed a dispute do it now. You can also call Paypal to get to a representative and explain what's going on.
Has anyone else gotten a reply to their disputes?
She has til the 17th to respond to mine, then I'm not sure what will happen. Honestly, i know it's evil and stuff, but i have to wonder what's happened in this poor girl's life for her to suddenly do all of this crazy crap?
Persistent little bugger, isn't she? >_<
seriously?! how does she even think this is right? and hoenstly scamming isnt enough and fraud isnt enough for her? geesh.
shes like a roach.. just keeps coming back.
I thought that if there was no money in their account you would get a refund, you know, next time there was money in their paypal account. which she shouldnt be stupid enough to ever do....
I'm thinking at least 500 including thd possible chargebacks.and the money may hve got from the trading post.
she probably thi k why work when I can mke this easy money. but this " easy money" isn't so easy she's going to have to deal with cops and paypl has it noted that the polkce have been calles.for.fraud.
YAY so happy for you! :cheer:It was credited to my account immediately as Paypal Credit even though the email said to allow up to 5 days. I'm guessing the 5 days is the wait to transfer to your bank account.
Oh! And did they say how quickly your refund would come through?
My escalation ends today...I'm hoping that I get all my money back, since I had to make 2 payments to her to afford them :/ I tried to file for the first payment, too, but it said that i already had a dispute opened with her.

You should be able to get all of your monies back from her . If you still havent received it all back once the escalation ends then do give them a call and talk to someone on the phone (usually it resolves things quicker) ;) :hug:
Raises hand with a question: the counterfeit thing? The item is destroyed? By who, and how do they prove it?
If she registered her phone number or address, paypal will do anything to catch her and get their money back. I might be speaking from experience only from my country, but I believe that all branches of paypal over the world will have the same policy.
It might take some time, but they will make her pay. I have no idea about reporting to the police, but I know for a fact that paypal works with offices who hire bailiffs and take care of vindication. Even for the smallest amounts of money, like $10, so if she has scammed so many people, I'm sure that she will have to give back what she owes.

I bought 3 funkos from this seller too. Because I've been so busy I didn't have time to message her and check they'd been sent but I was getting suspicious as they weren't turning up in the mail.
I've filed a claim with paypal. I hope I get my money back....
Wow I can't believe how many people she scammed!

Well, she had items that a lot of people wanted and apparent proof of ownership with her photos. Plus, really i'm sure in the backs of most of our minds we knew we would be Ok since PayPal has their protection policy, and it really wasn't a tonne of money from each person, so...
Exactly this! It's a real shame that someone would and did come into our community and cause such distress. It takes a real dirt bag to come into and prey on toy collector's for a few extra bucks and possible jail time.
I got the second half of my refund last night....and immediately spent it on ponies :blush:

Thanks for doing the summary Corona :bigups: :hug:Unfortunately as far as I could glean the sole non-bold chargeback was successful. The other two non-bold transactions don't have updates.
ok, so there's only 2 people left to get their refunds as far as we know, and 1 who is waiting for the chargeback to fail . Hopefully they will all be sorted soon and come back and update us with a positive outcome :)
