Hello girls, I haven't logged in to tpf for quite some time, and i am pleasantly surprised to see the progress made :) I am one of many that she scammed (she sent me a cheap bag instead of the bbag i paid 1300$ for). And since I'm in Singapore and I paid thru bank transfer, it is very difficult for me to pursue the case. So if others scammed want to make police report, I can provide my details so we can pursue it together, before she can scam more people

Why isn't this woman behind bars? I've read every page of this thread (took a lot of time and caffeine!) and from what I can tell she's still out there possibly scamming others. I realise it's difficult to catch this crook but surely there's enough evidence to take legal action.

Hey. I just noticed one thing. How come there is a non-paying buyers sticky, but not a Scammers Alert sticky? Seeing so many "I've been scammed" threads around, we absolutely need one!

I am half way through the thread... page 40....! I hate it when sellers abuse their TPF identity on Ebay for recognition and scam PFers!!! How wrong is that?? They bring TPF a bad name!!! They should be abolished!!

Is this scam just going on in the Phillipines? I was just wondering beacuse upon listing a few Bbags, I've noticed newly registered Ebayers with 0-2 feedback registered in Canada asking me if I ship overseas?

I just thought this to be odd because the ones that have 1 or 2 feedback are from purchasing $2 make-up items from Hong Kong?

No offense to anyone in Canada, but has anyone else noticed this with their auctions?

Is it possible these people could have new ID's registered with Canada?

I believe the OP of this thread got scammed by a former pfer(R-O) who was registered in Canada. And some other ladies who got scammed eventually posted in this thread. The Philippine scam ring is another thread all together.

This scam (Romie-Omie/Pretty*Bubbles)was going on right here in Oklahoma/Texas. The Philipines scam is different. Their m.o : newly registered, 0 or 1 or low feedback left for something cheap like phone gadget; they do BIN for expensive bag and they ask you to ship to unconfirmed address (gift for relative or some such) in Phillipines. Don't do it!!Read all the other Philipine scam threads and you will see why. Don't know about Canada...they hijack little used ebay/accounts or just make up a new ID to scam people.

Hi All~ I'm sending out another request to all those who bought a bag from Pretty*Bubbles and either never received it or ended up with a fake. Please PM me so we can coordinate our efforts! Chances are if we all bind together we'll have a better chance of catching this creep!

what exactly has this person pretty*bubbles done? i realize she is a major scammer, but I don't have time to read the whole thread, but I don't want to get scammed. Is she switching accounts and buying/selling fakes?

i'm glad to hear at least that there is progress in the fight against her doing this.
