Title: Watch out! This person can't full fill a trade! *items recieved... broken*
Post by: Emfen on April 29, 2012, 12:14:48 PM
Just wanna give you a heads up, I did a trade over at deviantART that was planned since november 2010 but the items never came and she stopped answering for long periods. She goes under the names mimi18hotty, Vinsteno7 fairymon7, art_rcoks_anime, digimon_fan!
Her full name is Marie-Emilie and she lives in Canada.
She have an etsy too with the name mimi18hotty.

This person and I agreed to make a trade, this is the agreement:

So Gabumon for Gabumon?visitors can't see pics , please register or login

I've heard there are 4 kinds of them, I only know about the regular and Psychemon. Maybe you can help out with any images if you want any particular Gabumon. visitors can't see pics , please register or login

Maybe a Gabumon? XD

Awesome! But what do you want in exchange? visitors can't see pics , please register or login

I do not have Garurumon anymore sorry visitors can't see pics , please register or login
 but yes I can make a Gabumon visitors can't see pics , please register or login

Emfen said the following:

I do know how they look, but you haven't made the plush yet is what was I wondering about. My choice is Gabumon if you can make one, or if you still have the regular colored Garurumon left(he was so adorable!).

My thought now is what you would want in exchange, if you bring me some pictures of something like digimon or pokemon, etc. Skeletal figures are harder to make as it have a lot of details.

mimi18hotty said the following:

Here is a picture of ExVeemon [link] and Gabumon [link]


----------
Emfen said the following:

The ExVeemon and Gabumon sounds interesting. Do you ave any images of them or do you make them as you get the order?

I currently have these plushies that are finished
- Gengar
- Shroob
- Double Head
- Fire Fly
- Octorok
- Marauder Octobot (Keychain)
- Chomposaur
- Jumpluff
- Mijumaru
- Super Albino Llama
- Lolipop(the turtle)
- Shiny and Relgurar Mew

I could take a request of almost anything, but I need a reference image. A simple plushie takes about a week with all other work I have to do, bigger can take a little longer time.
----------
mimi18hotty said the following:

Here they are and you can choose which one you want to do and I have more you want some more options. And what do you want in return?

-ExVeemon
-Veemon
-Gaomon
-Gaogamon
-Salamon
-Gawappamon
-MarineAngemon
-Gabumon
-Calumon
-Labramon

----------
Emfen said the following:

I'm interested! I saw your plushies and I love your Chibi Garurumon and Magnadramon. What ideas do you have? I still have some of my plushies left, the Gekomon and the Arerrow dragon is unfortunately sold. visitors can't see pics , please register or login

Note me back. visitors can't see pics , please register or login

mimi18hotty said the following:

Hey,

I saw your Gekomon plush that you made and also the Pokemon and I love them so much! I was wondering if you are interested to do a custom plush art trade?

Here are some examples of my work: [link]

I have a couple of ideas that you can choose.

Thing is she never was heard of again after she received the parcel and I kept nagging her until I got this:

mimi18hotty said the following:

Hello,

I am sending this message regarding your plush(s). Some of you as seen my latest journal and some don't. So I decided to note everyone about what is going on.

All plush work are on hold due to a emergency moving. Me and my hubby ended our relationship yesterday and I am moving out. Everything is pack and ready to go. I have found a place already but I still have to apply for it. If I don't find a place fast, I have another option.

The place I found is available for this upcoming month. I will have help to do the move and when everything is in the apartment, I will install myself for plush work and resume work on them. Hopefully this will take a week max.

I will update you all with another note when I will resume them.

I am truly sorry for the inconvenience.

Look at the date... Oct 29, 2010 was when the deal was set.  Mar 27, 2011 was when she was mass posting her lame excuses for the traders involved.

Then I kept sending messages some which are unread, until I sent this yesterday:

Spoiler
Quote
Just wanted you to know that since I haven't heard from you the past months after the trade nor given me the plush you promised I will give you 2 options before I take this to the police:

1. You return the plush
2. You send me the promised plush

I really don't want to fight about things like this, but that plush took me 2 months! The time, materials and effort put into it values it to about 75$. That is not just a dime, that is a lot of money and I appriciate if I got anything in return for that hard work. I give you 1 week before I head to the police office and take this to legal matter since what you've done is considered fraud.

Sincerely,
Emma aka Emfen

Forgot to mention that the last of the options is you pay me the price of the plush and shipping which was 75$ + 11$ = 86$ to my paypal ***** before May 6.

Have a good day

Thank you for letting us know about this situation. I'm sure no-one would want to trade with someone like that  :(  I just wish that you werent out of all that money, and after all the effort you put in as well :sad:

I lost 86$ on that plush(ordered special materials and bought a hell lot of materials while working non-stop of it on 2 months! even broke my crochet hook once during the making of it!)

WOW thats just sad :( I would be informing her your going to the authorities now unless she can provide proof shes mailed the plush.

I did;
Quote
You've had plenty of time, in fact since last summer. And "a long time ago" does not change the fact that you agreed to a trade. That is a kind of contract and that means if one of the parts in it fail to full fill it's task the other can take it to court.
And to clear it out, I have had economic issues long before the trade but I never complained nor did I ever fail to deliver my part. I offered my most of my pennies to make that plush for you by putting orders for special materials.

I simply can't believe in the excuses any more, as I've gotten too many by you. So I have all rights to file a complaint about it, which falls under the category fraud.

Have a nice day,
Emfen

Her reply?

Well tomorrow I can try to pick it up after my work since I work 8am until 3pm and then until 10 pm at my second job. But of course the post office will be closed but Wednesday, I will have a tracking number for you.

Whenever I bring it up she comes with lies, then she goes under the carpet and stops replying for long periods so it ain't worth trying to deal with her. Also she seems to have ripped of minors too.

Probably the one she *never* made. This plush: http://vinsento7.deviantart.com/art/Gabumon-digidoll-211572185 (http://vinsento7.deviantart.com/art/Gabumon-digidoll-211572185)
Which is most certainly stolen too.
I'll be happy is she refund my plush or pay the money. I don't want her plush no more.

She doesn't plan to scam "for quite a while" yet. How comforting  :blink: I'd also like to know why she thinks you would care that she sent her end of a trade to someone else. How does that help you? How does that excuse the amount of time that has passed, apparently without apology?

Some people are truly nutty. Also, why are scammers so darn stupid? I mean, I'm glad they're not smart because it makes them easy to catch, but really, it seems they are all at the bottom of the barrel in the intelligence department.

I know she is horrible at excuses, I reported her to IC3 when I saw how many others were still scammed. Don't care if she might be a minor, to me anyone who commit a crime is a criminal scum and thus will be reported. And that someone else might just be her other self since she wont give any names nor info.

Hello,

just wanted to let you know that I just ship out the gabumon plush to you. It will take about 2 weeks to arrive but sometimes it takes less then that. Sadly, I couldn't get a tracking number since it was really expensive but I do have the receipts that I can scan it for you.

On a unrelated note, I have no idea how old was the forum that you found about my reputation but I just wanted to point it out to you on a post that I did long time ago of refunding and sending packages to people. That I have being fixing things the right way. [link] (http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://digimon-nerd.livejournal.com/6243.html)

Hello yet again,

Seems you responded, it did impress me actually. But no tracking number = no trust.
The forum info I was given is less than a year old. And it doesn't matter, since it's a crime never the less it makes you a criminal. It isn't just me you tried to scam, it's several others so there's no change in your reputation on the web at all. Just because you cleaned up one dirty stain doesn't mean the whole surface is clean.
My guess that when the authorities look for information about you, more scammed people will stand up. In other terms, you're ******

Have a nice day,
Emfen

Anyways, thanks for reporting her! she deserves it and so do all the decent people she scammed and would scam in future. fingers crossed that IC3 actually does something, but with all this evidence, it would really be weird if they didn't.

Oh, and how convenient that all of a sudden the tracking number is too expensive :P

I can certainly scan it tonight the receipts when I get back home from work. Also if you want to, I can send back your plush back to you on wednesday. Also, of what I mean by fixing things is forever. I am still fixing things but its getting there. And never plan to do it and never plan to actually do it. On the post that I give you of livejournal, you can ask those people and they will say that I did refunded them. No joke.

FYI I am not dumb as you think I am.

My reply;
Quote
Two days passed and yet no picture of receipt, I still think you are lying. It's not optional if it should be provided or not, it's obligatory to provide them. I should really not have to answer such a silly question/statement with yes/no when the answer is clear as day(if you didn't get it, it's yes).
As for the people on your livejournal, they could be accounts to back you up. I know how internet works missy and I've seen a lot of it. Also to point out; you already did it. Alea iacta est. So there's not much you can do, the dice have been cast.

I can certainly scan it tonight the receipts when I get back home from work. Also if you want to, I can send back your plush back to you on wednesday. Also, of what I mean by fixing things is forever. I am still fixing things but its getting there. And never plan to do it and never plan to actually do it. On the post that I give you of livejournal, you can ask those people and they will say that I did refunded them. No joke.

FYI I am not dumb as you think I am.

My reply;

Two days passed and yet no picture of receipt, I still think you are lying. It's not optional if it should be provided or not, it's obligatory to provide them. I should really not have to answer such a silly question/statement with yes/no when the answer is clear as day(if you didn't get it, it's yes).
As for the people on your livejournal, they could be accounts to back you up. I know how internet works missy and I've seen a lot of it. Also to point out; you already did it. Alea iacta est. So there's not much you can do, the dice have been cast.

Have a good day,
Emfen

The paintwork is horrid.
As mentioned the foot broke after taking it out of the parcel. After just taking the plush and showing it to my brother some more damage shown.

Oh but that's so easy to repair!  Or should I say, "sew easy"?  ;D

Post by: Emfen on May 11, 2012, 09:31:06 AM
First off, after spending 2 months+ on a plush consisting of 53+ pieces crocheted piece by piece then sewn together carefully you expect a proper item in return, yes? Secondly she should know better when she have like 50+ plushes "she made" in her gallery. Third, I waited like 9 months probably for this? Quality takes time they say, but this is ridiculous!

That 2 moths plush made my hands weary, so she have NOTHING to complain about. Crocheting 24/7 makes hands hurt a lot. She valued the plush 2$, I valued mine 86$. She still owes me, A LOT.

I just sent her this;

Quote
Just want to let you know, received the plush today and it wasn't near my expectations. Upon unpacking the parcel, the plush it lost its foot and some seams broke. I believe that this plush was on purpose sabotaged. I carefully opened the parcel from the side and pulled it out carefully, so this damage can't be by me since I've had it out for 30 minutes and just had it sitting beside me on the desktop. This won't really change my standing on the complaint, since the promised item didn't hold it's promised quality.

Have a good day,
Emfen

Well the parcel had a tracking number... and she did say she didn't pay for that because it was too expensive? Maybe she was trying to catch you out and see if you'd say 'LOL NEVER RECEIVED' in an attempt to scam her back, so then she'd have at least one thing on you.

Most certainly. This issue is  most.. stupid. All this would have never been if she did follow the time schedule and answer her PMs.
Had a similar issue but not so annoying one on a small forum where the buyer never replied even tho she had my phone to call about where she should pick the items up(but that's another story).
Thing is if you don't full fill your responsibilities in the affair, you'll have to take the consequences.  :huh:

  She should just bend over and accepting her lashings, oh well, she's probably feeling bashful for being caught and is trying to get back at you. She reminds me of one of those villians from for cheapie cartoons. Getting angry at everyone who gets back at them "HOW DARE YOU DO THIS TO ME" when lol, he's been doing it to everyone else xD

Im so sorry to hear this :( your tradepartner was unfair in quite some things (not providing tracking number for you package for example. Why on earth didn't (s)he give that?!).

Hope a solution will be found for this!

After her being silent for a longer time I sent her this;

In case you haven't got it, I still demand my plush back. The quality of "yours" doesn't add up and the fact that it arrived broken still counts as fraud. Unless you don't return mine I will take this further with the authorities due to the amount of money lost on that single plush. You've dragged this out too long and I'm tired of it. Giving me a broken plush really was the drop of the glass.

Have a good day,
Emfen

I'm just so tired of it all. I bought high quality yarn and materials that costed me 30$, then those 2 months I spent hardcore on making it. It doesn't add up at all.
As for her plush, the more i tinker with it, the more it break. So far I've had to sew both feet, the arms, the tail, the belly pattern, the stripes and parts of the face. And that is a lot of things to fix on it.

What if she demands her plush back then? Should I give it to her or keep it?

Post by: Maniah on May 17, 2012, 07:27:20 AM
If she demands it back i would tell her it will be mailed to her as soon as you receive yours back IN PERFECT CONDITION. She is the one who cannot be trusted. Not you. And if she really does send it back, if it were me, I would rip out all the sewing I added to her plush and send it back as it was.

What a mess  :(   It's to bad this could not just be over for you already.
 
I would not send the plush back under any circumastances, unless yours is returned first.  I would also let the authorities handle it from here on out and quit communicating with her.  I don't honestly think your going to get any further with her except to be more aggravated by the whole situation.

I'm sorry you had such a lousy experience!  This is totally unfair.  Just an FYI as a Canadian seller, though -
All Canadian parcels have those tracking numbers on them when they leave the country, but you can't track them online.  They are for customs only.  You have to pay for priority shipping to get a tracking number that the buyer can actually track, and it IS actually very expensive ($95.41 for tracking, $75 for just delivery confirmation) for a small parcel.

I know we're all upset here for what happened to Emfen, but the scammer was telling the truth about that part.  Also, the scammer is from Ottawa?!  Have you talked to police here?  It would be good to at least file a report.

Sorry Emfen, I hope you get the one you made back.

No I have not I am a bit lost actually as I live in Sweden. I could use some extra help with that if someone is willing to hand me that information.

I worked really hard on this one, usually I never crochet items of this complicity but I wanted to challenge myself. I remember the back was a pain to make as usually crochet can only be made in one direction, but somehow I managed to reverse the stitches so it looked very pretty. Also the stripes was really hard to get right without messing up. I only bought high quality yarn to make this one and special ordered those pink eyes from a manufacturer, only the yarn it self costed me 78$ now that I calculated some of the cost.

Well, they have a website with contact info;
http://www.ottawapolice.ca/en/ContactOttawaPolice/ContactOttawaPolice.aspx (http://www.ottawapolice.ca/en/ContactOttawaPolice/ContactOttawaPolice.aspx)

The phone number to report a theft is on the side.  I honeslty don't know if they'll be able to help you with something like this, but maybe they'll call her and file a report, and she'll take it more seriously.  Can you get her phone number with her address?

Love how you always end with "have a good day."
Gotta be polite in some way? I don't think I've used any bad language so far except when I told her that she was toasted but with the F-word. In PM that is.

I'm currently writing down any webpages that tells of her scamming so when I call I don't look like a fool when calling the authorities.

Edit:
This story never ends, does it?

So I called the police up today, I was really nervous and apologized if my pronunciation was a bit off. I talked to a really nice lady and told her I got scammed and that the scammer was living in Ottawa. I also told her about others that have been scammed by her and that the current sum is 400$ or more in total. She asked me were I was located and I told her I was in Sweden and I recently turned 18 and thus I decided to take legal action. I also told her that I don't know if she scammed  minors more than me back then or are doing it right now and that she actually confessed that she had scammed.

I'm seriously shaking now and have trouble spelling right.
I hope this get resolved soon. Your plush looks beautiful in the pics, by the way.
Thanks. :)

Indeed it is. The woman I spoke with said their crime register was a bit delayed but she reassured me that they'd do their best to solve this.
Thanks for the praise, the plush is actually one of the ones I'm really proud of. :)

From now on I suggest that you don't inform her further of what you're doing, you don't want to give her a heads up or anything.

Hello, in my previous note, I told you that I have no problem to send it back your plush to you and I will on monday. Also, when I did the plush I stored it away to keep it safe. I never had a problem like that of a broken plush so I am really sorry about this. Most of it was hand stitch. Also I will send you a little something with your plush.
I will accept the offer then block her. I don't want to have to do with this miss ever ever again.

Sent her this;

Hello and thank you for your reply,
I'll await your confirmation once you've sent the plush, do provide scans of the receipt please.

@Maniah No not at this time, the police office said they'd file a report and investigate her when they have time.

@Prismatic Well I made him very kid proof. I made sure the stitching was properly made and tug safe, then the stitches of the crochet are very dense so it would be a bit hard to drive a scissor in it and snip it. I stitched 2 threads of yarn for the body to make it more sturdy.
I'm just glad he's safe.  :)

Among all my crochet plushies he is the gem. I crocheted about 50 different pieces and sew them together to make this plush, the pattern was something I made up in my head as I went. I just looked at one image and started to crochet the fella. ^^
