Just looking at her auctions, says she's in Oklahoma, good old USA.

As soon as she sent a counterfeit item over state lines, I believe that made her commit a federal crime.

Postal fraud is treated very seriously in the US.

She's in BBIIIIIGGGGG trouble.

Ladies, collate your infomation, hopefully you'll have requested her details from "My Ebay" page (before she has had a chance to change it) and then

Contact;

http://postalinspectors.uspis.gov/fo...Complaint.aspx

This logs the complaint. The fact that there is more than one, will get things moving..

This is a link to the Federal Trade Commission.

http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/pubs/...O%20FOR%20HELP

It offers information in relation to the "Mail or telephone order rule".. contravening this, is the federal offence.

*AHA*! Just found the FBI "Internet Crime Complaint Centre"

http://www.ic3.gov/complaint/

It specifically deals with this type of crime, and if you read the FAQ, it also mentions that

"Q: Can I file a complaint if I have been victimized by an individual or company in the United States, but I am not a citizen of the United States? If one of the two parties involved is located within the United States, please feel free to file a complaint. "
And you also really need to contact her local police.

I really hope you get this criminal.

Good luck

K

Sorry this is happening- completely sick. I hope you all follow up with the authorities and get this person in trouble. What a low life.

This is very good advice.
Are the three victims here able to work together here?

Keep us posted!

You need to find out if this is a "county" matter or a "city" matter. Then you need to contact the local law enforcement agency; i.e., sheriff's office, police station, whatever it is called in that particular jurisdiction. It would be great if the victims could band together, and forward the information to the SAME PERSON at the law enforcement agency. If multiple victims are complaining of the same fraud being done, then they are more likely to give it more weight. Good luck, and if you have any ???, feel free to pm me - I'll try to help anyway that I can. Off to bed shortly, so any ???? will be answered tomorrow.

Sorry to hear about all of this, and people "using" the Purse Forum to perpetrate such fraud. I do hope you all work together to stop this person from taking hard earned money! Geesh, I just don't get the total dishonesty, is money really worth it? Good luck and keep us posted on what happens!

Do you mind me asking what her tPF identity is, or is that against the rules?

What a nightmare for these buyers - we all feel your pain. OT, maybe ebay's new policies to focus FB on sellers rather than buyers is not so off-base. A fraudulent seller can wreak far more havoc on people and their bank accounts than a fraudulent buyer.

I went through something very similar; where the seller sent me a plastic cosmetic case instead of the b-bag I paid for. I say go the postal route in the terms of mail fraud. This seller is SCUM and I agree; I guarentee she knows exactly what she is doing. Please keep us posted!!!

Often there is a "guest" on the threads pertaining to this seller.

Handbagangel mentioned she is probably reading all of this.

R-O Please post and tell us what is going on here!!!!!
