Hi! Has anyone experience purchasing from IG Fashion_addict93?

Hiya! Just wanna chip in my thoughts, though another TPFer had responded to your question earlier...

I bought a bag that she consigned and the bag arrived as described. I don't find her rude -- I think she's ok though some may find her rather straightforward. I'd probably buy from her again if I see something I like

I can only say that she is a true scammer. I regret my choice deeply to transfer my funds to her bank account. She posted a Chanel small pink vanity on her story and the next story she said ‘sold’. I asked if it’s still available and she said yes one left so I asked the price, condition, when can it be shipped etc. After looking through all her reviews which I’m sure she fabricated I decided to go ahead. I just don’t know why it didn’t hit me that I shouldn’t have paid via bank transfer. She sent me a bank account number and I immediately transferred. She said she received the funds and later on came back to me and said I’ve transferred to a wrong account. She became more and more aggressive, calling me names like stupid goat head, can’t take my stupidity anymore.
She even said I didn’t incur any cost and why am I scared to go to the police station to lodge a case. As you know with the current coronavirus situation it’s just a hassle. Anyway I had to go to 2 police stations to lodge and I was told she has already been reported to the police before. And the other victims have transferred funds to other bank accounts with different names. This whole thing is just like a scam group.

I honestly have no idea how to get my money back and I’m so heartbroken. I hope nobody ever buys from luxculture_my. Her name that I know of is grace lam chooi foong.

I am truly sorry that this happened to you. This is heartbreaking for sure. The same thing happened to me but with a different seller. Reported the seller to the police and never got my $$ back. The person blocked me after a bank transfer, which I will never do again and recommend no one use to Bank sellers. I’ve had to pay higher fees with PayPal but feel it’s safer in the long run. The scammer I bought from was @authenticdesignersource, but has since changed their handle

Hey! I have had trouble finding any reviews from TPF buyers but I found a Facebook page where most of the reviews in Chinese did not recommend them. At least half a dozen negative reviews. I’d stay away...

Thanks for the advise. I would never sent bank transfer as there's no protection. I was interested in some of the bags and just doesn't understand why she doesn't list the price on the page she's advertising. As a matter of fact, alot of them just don't list the price ?? Just a waste of time dm'ing back and forth. But now with this recommendation, I will just unfollow her.

I’m so sorry about your experience! I believe i was talking to her a few weeks ago and was close to purchasing a bag and didn’t end up doing it because of a few red flags. Is this the same seller? I’m guessing she changed her name to _lux.culturemy_ Adjustments.JPG
