Oh lordy, did I just dodge a bullet? I really don’t want to be scammed out of substantial money I worked so hard for!!

She seemed friendly and very communicative. She even has posts of reviews from clients and of packages waiting to be shipped out.

I was interested in the Chanel Pearl Mini and I noticed in her past posts she had sold quite a few before. Looking through her page appeared as if I was looking at a hodge podge in a photo album like the pics to make said posts didn’t belong to her. I noticed immediately her posts barely had any likes or comments. I asked for pics of the Pearl Mini and it looked like an authentic item to me. What struck me was when I asked for a pic to look closer a specific part of the bag, she told me she would ask the seller. A couple thoughts ran through my head. I thought, was it not her that was selling this bag and it also implied that she didn’t have the bag. But I eventually got the pic that I asked for. She asked for $5100 up front or $5250 with payment plan and 25% deposit. Initially, I thought it was a steal, but now it was too good to be true. I’ve seen new and preloved Pearl Minis go for $8-9000s! I even told her this and she said she knew.

She stated in her profile, payment by Paypal FF and Transferwise. I decided to do payment plan through Transferwise. I was this close to completing the initial deposit but it didn’t go through because there was a problem verifying my bank account. Maybe that was a sign from the Universe lol. I asked her if I could do Paypal instead and she told me there was a problem with her Paypal. She then offered that I use Remitly but I said I’d look into it if I tried Transferwise again and it didn’t work. Well, I didn’t try again and it landed me here on TPF lol.

I’ve combed through previous pages of this thread, is this really the same person or she was part of the scammer group? Apparently, she is based in Indonesia and goes by Maharani Saputri. Does the name sound familiar to anybody who has dealt with loveluxkmlla or her other IG accounts?

Ive read that she’s definitely a scammer and that she steals pictures from reputable resellers and passes them as her own. Be careful !

All i can say is you are lucky your payment failed !!
 
It's definitely scammer I was asking where the bag will be sent out and she said Indonesia. Then I said I live in Indonesia then she just gone and not replying me at all I asked the video for the bag but she just read them and keep posting on their story but not replying me. I think the scammer is from Indonesia so they afraid I can sue them if it's fraud.

Note that this scammer changed their insta name again


Please be careful
 
Hello all! Anyone have personal experience shopping with @camelliacurate on IG? Would really appreciate the feedback, thanks!

Hello! I had just purchased from the lovely camelliacurate on Instagram!

She was quick to respond to the many questions I had on the Chanel business affinity backpack I ended up purchasing. It came wrapped with the dust bag, camellia and a copy reciept of purchase.

Shipping was super quick and came all the way from Singapore! Quite surprised considering some packages may be delayed due to covid.

Overall, I am very pleased with the purchase and her service
 
Hi Glitterbomb!

Looking to get a bag from looking_for_luxe, I also get positive vibes from her...Though I don't see any testimonials, would you know if she ships outside the US? Thank you!!

Hi want to share my experience with her. I purchased from her before and Im from overseas. I asked her client to ship fedex but she decided to ship to usps bec of high shipping cost and her box is too big for the package (sellers would notice it). Then the bag was lost and her client didn't want to refund me. I ask her to help me with her client to refund me but they both put the blame on me. I got no bag and money and that's a 17b red medium flap.

I'm really sorry to hear that, thank you for the heads up. There's a better red medium flap out there for you.
 
I've had an amazing experience with ilovechan3l (her name is Tram) - I actually contacted her because of a positive review I read here (I'm mostly a reader, not a poster :smile:). I've purchased 4 Chanel bags from her so far and honestly, the whole process is so seamless and she's so sweet. Literally texting with me at 5am over stupid questions I have. I had a really bad experience with a fake reseller a few months ago where I got scammed out of $4000 so I was SO nervous to once again hand money over to someone I had never met. But I'm so glad I found her! Will probably only buy and sell bags with her now because she feels like an internet friend. 10/10 recommend!!
hi , can you tell me more for the reseller. is all the items she sold you authentic? how did you double check? i am considering a bag and i've never bought through IG. thank you.

if you’re in the US I recommend kocengayang79 and stylevialauren.
if in the UAE or Europe I recommend designerconcierge.
if in Australia I recommend chu33yb3b3_3
(those are their IG nicks)
of course they all ship worldwide but in case you were looking for one in your country.
I’ve dealt with all before :smile:
hi! have you bought anything off Stylevialauren? I am looking at something from her page, just wanted to see if you had a good experience and the bags are authentic. thank you.

Thank you! I already moved on but what they did to me I'll bring with me as a lesson when dealing with instagram sellers. Money is just money. Integrity and attitude in dealing difficulties matter more. So just be careful.
 
Those with recent buying experience with Orchmelia, can you send me a PM? I have a question along the lines of her PS fee and taxes. Also trying to decide if it's worth to just buy from Orchmelia or an SA from my home state with peace of mind that I can return the item if I decide I don't want it, which is unlikely. TIA.
