So, just in case anyone had lost count, that's FIVE (count em, 5!) victims thus far. What a disgrace!

^^^In that auction, she says she lives in Norman, Oklahoma. I don't have her real name, but the buyers who have been defrauded should have her name. Do a google search, anywho search, and whatever other search to try to ferrett her out. Of course, the credit card companies will be doing their own searches too. Did anyone ever sell her anything?

And if you search by seller ticking the close match box it shows you she is registered in Oklahoma too

-I'm sorry this is happening to you! You really need to take police action against her. Plz keep us updated!

I am so sorry for all of the victims of this vile creature. I hope that you all get your money back soon and that she pays for this.

I just don't understand how someone could do this...

If you read the whole thread, you would know that it's ROMiE-OMIE. I've enclosed the 2 other threads about her ebay shenanigans from a few pages back.



PM the other buyers and get each other phone # and 3-way call. You can individually write up your own events (including her ebay ID and auctions) and submit all of your complaints TOGETHER to your own police department and to her local police department.

THINK HER NAME IS xxx......NOT 100% SURE BUT ITS SOMETHING TO GO ON.....

is it against tpf rules to post the tpf ids of the folks scammed? i am one of them. can someone give a list - or PM me with it. i am not sure how to do it, but at least if there's people living in the US, we could do something, maybe??
she can read all this, but i really don't care at this point.
i will also post all emails.
in the latest one - she says something like , since you didnt give me your phone number, its safe to assume that i received the bag. yeah right. i'll post the email in my original post.

I am here now. Here is the auction for her GGH Truffle City:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...:X:AAQ:US:1123
She listed this bag three times on ebay. I communicated with her and asked her if she was a pf member? she replied yes i am Romie-Omie so i trusted her because she was a pfer. When i saw the bag listed the second time i asked her what happened and she replied non paying bidder. Few days later this is what i got from her through ebay:
Hi. I am now going to take offers on this bag. I think you were one of the one's that asked about a BIN. The winner of the original auction was a deadbeat! I already have an offer in and will be taking them until Sunday evening so I can ship Monday. Thanks and just let me know!
I let it go and then i saw the bag listed for the third time and got sold for four hundred some thing. I e-mailed her again and asked her what happened this time and this is what she replied:

Hi. I am not relisting via Ebay. Too many
international nightmares and NPB's. The latest is
demanding the bag but refuses my payment method. I
don't use paypal, though accept all major credit cards
via a secure merchant account. I am sick of
troublesome buyers. For now I am taking an ebay
break. The only thing you can do is send me an offer
and I can invoice you for it. thanks!

so i offered her $700 for the bag and she took my offer and i paid her through google on 1/27/08. She was suppose to ship the bag on 1/29/08.

This is the rest of her e-mails to me:
Are you in the U.S.? I only ask because I am retiring
from international shipping!


This is after i offered her $700.

Okay, I can accept that. I would need your first and
last name for the invoice. It is the weekend and
Google will not process the payout until Tuesday, so
that would be the soonest that I could ship. If you
are interested, then please send me the above info.

I have had other offers BEFORE yours, though yours is
the fairest. I don't want to offend others or make
them mad! I will tell them that I just decided to keep
it so noone gets upset!


After i paid her:

No hurry, you are fine! Looks like the payment is
there, thanks! I ship usps and will update the
tracking # in Google when it ships. Thanks!

When i did not get the tracking number on 1/29/08 i e-mailed her and got a auto reply form yahoo saying:

I will be away until 01/31/2008. I will return emails beginning
02/01/2008. Thanks for your patience!

So i waited till 2/1/08 and when i did not hear from her again i e-mailed her again and got another auto response saying:

My family emergency and current weather conditions are delaying my
return. Any items that are awaiting shipment will be shipped on 2/3/08.
When I return I will also provide updates for items that have already
shipped. None of the tracking info is currently with me. This situation
is chaotic and out of my control. Thank you for your continued
patience.


After this, i have e-mailed her four times and never got any replies from her any more. Until today i was still hoping to hear from her but when i saw every thing else on the forum about her i started asking questions from fellow pfers. I called my CC and they put a temporary charge back for $700 but she has 30 days to contact them. I never got any tracking info from her. If any one needs her name or e-mail address please pm me and hopefully we can find her and get our moneys back.
