I am sorry to hear this.
I am surprised though that you have been taken by a scammer. You had a bunch of threads in the 'autenticate this' thread, you were well aware of the good/bad sellers list and Haleyscouture is written up all over that one. Plus you had your mom as an expert who would take you to Hermes and STILL you wired a considerable amount of cash.
As I said, I am sorry but I am at the same time stunned at your activities given the knowledge base that you had at your fingertips.
She didn't know that this TPF site existed until after this event happened. It could have happened to anyone. I'm just glad we supply wholesome information about buyers here at TPF.
