CONFIRMED SCAM! Member Scamming Through Ebay!

[Spike]

I am not taking any side, but please: don't start a witch-hunt.

A witch hunt would be like hunting someone down because you don't agree with them. Look at Joan of Arc for example. She did nothing wrong. This person however has scammed people numerous times, offensively lied about her niece having cancer or something to get ponies cheaper. That is just not right at all. Scamming is a crime, and people that commit the crime need to be punished. If anything, reporting the IP address to the authorities will be helping the community.

Sounds to me like this is your standard cry for attention from a person who never grew up and learned how to act like the adult she is supposed to be.

First she wants everyone to pity her with sob stories of ill relatives and so she can get discounts on ponies, and she joins here but pretends to be someone else to defend herself when her shady actions are brought to light. Then when we don't buy it, she runs off to ebay to make a fake auction (probably knowing people here would spot it and post more about her in this thread). These are all the childish things immature people on the internet do when they want attention.

Unfortunately a long thread like this is just giving in to her need to feel important and have everyone talk about her, but the alternative is that people won't know what she's up to.

What she doesn't understand is that the internet is not always as anonymous as it appears to be (for example the Mods here can monitor your IP address and tell that you are the same person), plus through ebay some personal information is available as well. So the impressions she gives people here and the bridges she burns are going to stick with her in the future.

Scammers always think they can just change their online name and have a fresh start, but there's always people like the ones in this community who monitor for scammers and warn other people.

Well this has played out into a real drama, I'm glad that last ebay "photo" sale is resolved as that would have been terrible had the sale gone through....

[bluerose9978]

My guess is why it was taken down is because she lied about a lot of things and because the photo was probably something got from the internet and posted here without permissions. She was asked numerous times to pm a mod to tell her story and she refused. She had many opportunities to come clean and turn things around and she didn't want to. She just wanted to start drama.

Well, in the message she posted she insisted that she had contacted a mod. And she did apparently send a message to someone and she copied and pasted the message into that post. But the person she says she contacted was an admin at the MLPTP, not here. So uh, that might make a difference

Just.... Wow....
If she really is lieing about her neice having cancer that makes me sick. I lost my Mother this month to cancer and don't really have any respect for people who lie about that. Instead of trying to get discounted ponies I would have donated that money to a cancer facility to help fund research but that is just me.

Trying to sell a printed off picture that isn't hers is just shady.

I have sold to this person. It was a fairly large pony lot on Ebay. She did PM me before the auctions ended to see if I would include some other ponies I was auctioning off at the time if she won. I declined and she was respectful of that.  I had no problems selling to her though and it went smoothly.

Okay editing to add..
After looking over that list on the front page I am pretty sure some of those baby ponies she wants for her niece were in that lot I sold to her and that was back in January. I think she resold that whole lot in smaller lots. I remember seeing them in my ebay feed occasionally. Which is odd if she wanted those for her niece.

She actually writes pretty eloquently for a nut job...
Hehehehehe

The admin said she never contacted her. The admin told me to give her her email address and the admin never got an email.

I for one don't believe that she is purchasing ponies for a sick niece. My father has terminal cancer and it would never occur to me to use his health as a reason for strangers to sell me stuff cheaper. I just don't think that's how people handle situations like this, and let's face it everything is pointing to the fact that technopone is flipping the ponies she's buying up. Which is making me sick to my stomach. I do not know how she sleeps at night, using this serious illness that affect so many families in this way. I just don't have words.

That is correct. MBJ.

Goodness, that's all sorts of mixed up then. So she claims to have contacted the MLPTP staff, but never did, and also claims that she has contacted the arena staff and used her (unsent or at least unreceived) e-mail to the MLPTP as proof of that? 

[bluerose9978]

Yes. And I had told her when she was contacting me on eBay that MBJ had not received her email. And that she could pm any mod on the arena at any time. But she chose not to.  So I just gave up on her. She obviously did not want to contact anyone just wanted someone to feel sorry for her.

Um, wasn't there a scammer a LONG time ago who sold a picture of a pony the same way?  Any known connection?
