Vintageponysunny/mlpsunny/sunnyloveus: Beware of this buyer and seller!

[SeashellnBubbles]

I'm more inclined to think she's 34 or 35. One of her aliases on the MLPTP was Brony1979...hence my thoughts that it indicates her birth year, and she looks closer to that age on her FB page. But again, that's just being "sleuthy" and not grounds on any fact since I can't see her birthday on her page at all. Still waiting for Funkos to be delivered

And she might have come back , there is another sale thread of a newbie trying to sell  with no feedback and not posting pics after many requested them ! So got to be extra cautious here !

[MoondancerMilkyWay]

I was thinking the same thing HoustonCollector.
said person had two sales threads. selling very different things. one claiming to need money badly so having to sell "her" collection, and the other with many brand new things to sell with no real way to have them yet.
who has ever heard of a brand new person having items from TaoBao just to sell randomly?

[ponylady]

Just so everyone knows we are aware and currently working on the other situation. The two are not the same person though 

[MoondancerMilkyWay]

oh weird!! Thanks PL! I was really thinking they were. similar stories and all that jazz.

[Lorelei Redfern]

i saw that  thread. and was like uh huh..    it just seemed fishs y that    she just happend to have   expensive funkos. that arent even out for sale yet.

glad to know the mods are on it!

[MidnightMocha]

IDK...there's a couple sellers around that are seeming more than a bit sketchy.

It's so heartening to see the community working together like this!  Even if it's because of a frustrating thing...  Praise to our mods who keep us safe!  And thank you to all who have assisted Galactica!  *pony hugs*

Well, I trust the mods, but how do we know they aren't the same? And what is the situation with "the other person" who overnight sold all of her items?

I just saw that...sketchy

[MoondancerMilkyWay]

dunno. saw her on the MLPTP and posted that she was wouldn't be getting back to anyone. she posted there under a completely different name, too.

Hello MLP Arena!
Sorry for the delay in posting this, it has taken forever to get approved to this site and post this message.
I'm Conspiracy Boy of the youtube channel 'Back In the day toys' I recently had a comment on a video of mine from a user under the name GalaticCatt (I assume is the galactic user on this thread) warning me to avoid the user as they have been scamming people.
Luckily I never contacted this user or had any kind of transactions with them. However I was intrigued and found this thread.
Some of you have googled her email address which has led you to the video she commented on as her email address was included in her comment.
There is nothing 'fishy' about my youtube channel I assure you!
I do weekly Carboot haul videos and only send parcels to other you tubers who post video's too. Re-sellers need not apply, strictly collectors only.
If I wanted to make money I would eBay my finds but would rather see them go to good homes.
I have a video called 'The BITDT story' which explains how I got started and what I aim to do.
Once again, there is nothing fishy about my channel, I have no affiliation with the user in question nor have I ever spoken too or trader with her.

However on an unrelated note I see a lot of MLP stuff that I avoid as I know nothing on them. Feel free to comment on my youtube channel if you want me to look for any specific ponies 'in the wild'.
I recently found a highly sought after rare board game called 'lost valley of the dinosaurs' for a Youtuber under the name 'blackrabbit3333'
It took six months but I found it for him eventually!
Anyway, hope this clears any confusion up guys and best of luck recovering your monies and prosecuting this scam artist.

Thank you for posting BITDT...we know you're not involved directly in this situation, I think you were just caught in the crossfire in No-Man's-Land. When you have a popular YouTube video(s) chances are bad eggs will be rolling around your site keeping tabs on what is trending and popular ATM. Personally, I hold no one accoutable except her (or him...we don't know for certain this person's identity hasn't been stolen as far as I know), and whatever she has done in the past will either be another twist in the noose or is irrelevant to the current situation. It's good that you keep an eye on such things.
I'm not a Mod, but as someone who has been directly affected by this person, I appreciate your taking the time to drop us a line and tell us your side of things. Good luck with your Videos and your adventures.

Well, I trust the mods, but how do we know they aren't the same? And what is the situation with "the other person" who overnight sold all of her items?

I believe he/she backed out simply because the timing was so horrible. Having the word "Sun" or "Sunny" in your name is a red flag for everyone right now, so they may bide their time and wait for this mess to blow over. If the mods say they aren't the same person then I'm content with that. As far as pics go, I know it took FOREVER for me to figure out how to post them off PhotoBucket when I was a newbie last year, so it isn't strange to me at all. Now if the person doesn't send through email, THEN I'd be concerned. The way I got around that when I started was to post the pic with my name written on a piece of paper in each photo, and honestly, for the number of transactions I've done on the site I've only been tagged by 2 people...The infamous Sternestaub and this person. Any business who can say that, in a year and 1/2, they've only been scammed 2 times is doing pretty well. That's what insurance (in this case, PayPal's buyer protection policy) is for. Unfortunately, until something is done at the source and severe punishments are leveled, people will continue this kind of behaviour. I, for one, am not about to lose faith in a community that has served me and so many other people so well

[Lorelei Redfern]

the only issue with     picutes i have is that     wwith this Sunny scam she HAD   pictures.  that  doesntl nessicalry prove that htey  have the item.   the next time i'm  dealing with soemone who has little to no fedback ith inki'm going to ask   for a pciture with the date in it.  ye si ralize that might bea little   neortic.. but   that is one way to guarentee they still have the  items. just showing a picture pn photobucket obviously  isnt     just goign to cut it.  or am i the only one that feels that way?  also pictures can be stolen.

Ruh roh... Lorelei Redfern's location states "sunny florida"...

should we be concerned?

  Just kidding!  Let's all take a chill pill and move forward.
