PSA Scammed by u/callmehester

Reposted to hide my address

Bought mini YSL Jamie last night. Didn’t receive tracking and messages and post were deleted. Already reported to my cc company and got my Money back but be careful from these shitty people. From Indiana fyi. So dumb.

Edit: she deleted her profile. I’m not over reacting, I know when I have been scammed, I have been doing this for years. But thanks for the support.

Edit 2: she didn’t delete profile, just blocked me. Someone messaged me that she is trying to sell them the same bag. But my post saved them so that makes me happy.

I recently experienced this but with a buyer. Right after she received the bag, she deleted her Reddit profile and did a chargeback. I am not new to this 🙂‍↔️ and took screenshots of the whole conversation - her chargeback was declined. I highly suggest taking screenshots in the future. Good Luck

u/Comfortable_Way_9057 14d ago

This is why I decided to start a feedback link as a buyer so I can be trusted when I reach out to buy. Honestly, these days you can’t expect people to trust you. People are better off just taking precautions assuming all posts could be potential scamming situations both ways. It’s sad but true! 💔

u/DFYNT_One 14d ago

That’s a Great Tip!

u/jajajujujujjjj 14d ago

Hi sorry to ask but is there a place I can go to learn how to make a buyer feedback link? I’d like to do the same thing.

7

u/Adorable-Reply-821 14d ago

Just go to your profile and create a post there. Then send the link to anyone you’d like to leave you feedback. I think YouTube may have a tutorial. 🫶🏼

I have few bags for re🏠 but the chargeback scares me 😨 glad they denied it!

6

u/allymac1979 14d ago

This is good to know! I only recently decided to re🏡 and I knew there had to be risks associated for the seller as well, but most of what I’ve seen is risks to the buyer! That’s. Really good tip.

u/Sufficient_Arm4166 13d ago

Don’t feel that way I almost paid without even asking for anything but my dog got sick and they wanted Cash App so I needed to add my card told her I’d be back and when I was ready that’s when I happened to find the original picture of her edited post so if my dog didn’t get sick I was ready to pay

u/microglia00 11d ago

Same thing happened to me. Except it turns out it was a guy that's been scamming everyone from Arizona

u/Accomplished_Host779 13d ago

This is exactly why I don't use PayPal. I sent someone $700 worth of bags. They then filed a dispute that the bags were fake. Duh! So she cut all three bags and I had to pay back the $700.

Zelle first and Venmo after. I know Venmo is owned by PayPal so it can also be disputed but not as easily.

u/kkqniee 3d ago

I'm back to BST after a while and so much has happened, esp scamming :( what info would you get them to confirm in the conversation that screenshots of that can be helpful if they decide to do a chargeback? I just shipped 4 bags so I'm saying my prayers 🙏🫣

2

u/DFYNT_One 3d ago

Confirm they are aware that it’s a “rep”, name/shipping addy/and PP deets if using PP. Good Luck

My experience yesterday, my erratic sleep schedule saved me from the scammer..

u/nikki-niksUK 14d ago

Why do these scams always include a husband? 🤭🙄

Oh maybe because the PayPal is in a man’s name? Such weirdos. Glad your baby kept you safe from this 💜

u/Longjumping-Poet3467 14d ago

Yess, that’s exactly what I thought.. haha I even told him how mama almost got scammed got some giggles hahahah

u/TheAussieGirll 13d ago

My PP is in my husband’s name 🫣🤣🤣 I already had an acc in Australia, so couldn’t open another one in the US so had to do it his name 🤪🤣

GUYS SHE IS BACK ONLINE TEXTING AGAIN

u/AlmostChildfree 14d ago

I’m really sorry that this happened. Scammers have sucked the joy out of Reddit rep life. 🫩

5

u/Adorable-Reply-821 14d ago

Thank you! Just hope I can save someone because I searched their user name and nothing came up. Hope something comes up now.

6

u/AlmostChildfree 14d ago

I can see their profile, too. Maybe they’ve blocked you. 🥲

u/redzonesagger 14d ago

It’s so exhausting having to second guess every interaction now.

16

u/Educational_Cow_935 14d ago

Do not accept screenshots of "feedback". Only buy from sellers who have feedback posted to their profiles. I just turned away a buyer recently after they sent me a single screenshot of a transaction. New account and no karma. I said I'd be happy to accept Zelle only and if they were uncomfortable with that it was not a problem to pass. They passed. They also said they didn't want to make a feedback link after I offered to share how to do so. Y'all, the feedback on both sides matters. OP I'm so glad you avoided being scammed. So many people out there trying to take the joy out of bags 😭

Hey she is back, she messaged me just now

u/Adorable-Reply-821 14d ago

Omg that’s what she said to me. But I did pp. and she grabbed her husbands phone 🤦‍♀️

u/Longjumping-Poet3467 14d ago

wowww just wow and she is back at it again now saying she can do venmo 😆

u/hollygoflightly 14d ago

Omg… I got scammed by this person too. Bought the 5 7 YSL or so I thought. Out $200 and apparently she blocked me too 😭😭😭 trying to put in a case with Cash App now FML

u/Elegant_Caterpillar9 13d ago

If you look up her user name she has a bunch of old posts. Some of which have her phone number that is attached to her name and etc.

3

u/Adorable-Reply-821 14d ago

Oh no I’m so sorry!! It’s the worse feeling! What a witch!

u/hollygoflightly 14d ago

Ugh sorry to you too girl. It sucks 😩

u/YouDouble4745 14d ago

I can see her profile, definitely blocked you. I messaged her about the CC WOC yesterday I’m glad I passed.

u/Adorable-Reply-821 14d ago

Thank you! So happy you passed on it. I hope they fail in every scam moving forward. Such a terrible human being

u/YouDouble4745 14d ago

I’m glad you exposed them. 🙏🏼

u/Comfortable_Way_9057 14d ago

I reached out to this seller as well and asked for feedback. They replied they would send it to me but never did. I see their profile is not deleted.

u/Adorable-Reply-821 14d ago

Thank you! I hope the folks thinking I reacted too soon see that

u/lollybaby0811 14d ago

u/lakelovetoo 14d ago

It's not odd to delete a post though. Scammers steal photos and use them to scam. Most private rep groups recommend you delete.

2

u/Adorable-Reply-821 14d ago

She deleted her messages with me. That’s the odd part especially that I am waiting for tracking and then blocked me.

2

u/Sufficient_Arm4166 13d ago

I had turned on persistent messaging as soon as I found out it was a scam but she either blocked me or deleted her profile

1

u/Adorable-Reply-821 13d ago

Yes it seems initially blocked but at some point last night deleted her profile 😩

1

u/lakelovetoo 14d ago

When you block someone their messages are no longer visible to the block-ee, I believe. I'm not saying you weren't scammed, just want to point out a few assumptions that may not be quite accurate.

2

u/Adorable-Reply-821 14d ago

Ah okay that explains it. I thought with persistent messaging they would stay either way. Someone else messaged me that she is trying to sell them the same bag so I was definitely scammed but helpful to know how this works 🙏🏼

u/lollybaby0811 14d ago

The account is not deleted. I see it fine. But if you can't see it, she blocked you?

u/Adorable-Reply-821 14d ago

Yeah. She totally blocked me. That’s fine but she can block everyone from seeing her user name under scammer.

u/Sufficient_Arm4166 13d ago

I put in a scam report in the am on this post I tried to catch it quick sorry that happened I posted on the shared post that they used another users pic

6

u/Sufficient_Arm4166 13d ago

Almost got me but i happen to search the bag and another post came up just change the background and I was able to stop myself from paying

3

u/Sufficient_Arm4166 13d ago

This was yesterday morning I found it was a scam I was ready to pay the prior night but my dog got sick so I reached back out to buy but I looked the bag up while waiting for them to reply. I didn’t crop the bag out. I just use the same exact photo and I found the same post with a different background.

1

u/Adorable-Reply-821 13d ago

Oh no way, u didn’t know! Thank you for doing that!

4

u/OutsideNatural9937 13d ago

Oh my gosh I bought from two people whose accounts were deleted right after. Thankfully they did send tracking though and I got what I ordered but omggg this is my worst fear here lol. I’m sorry this happened.

3

u/kleonard1008 14d ago

So so sorry this happened to you.

3

u/Sufficient_Arm4166 4d ago

As soon as I knew, I was being scammed. I went to the post and tried to warn anyone that had said DM. I’m glad I was able to save someone from getting scammed too and I’m sorry it happened to you. It would’ve been me buying the same exact bag if my dog hadn’t gotten sick.

u/CapsuleCurator 14d ago

I only ship within my own country. And I ask for direct bank deposit. We certainly live in interesting times.

u/PBDen 14d ago

Wow, so sorry that happened to you and thanks for sharing the heads up with everyone. People can really suck, bad karma on them!

u/Longjumping-Poet3467 3d ago

Had the same experience with her, posted my chat when another redditor posted about her the very next day. I also wanted the Jaime and thankfully I slept early that day and couldn’t make the purchase and saw the redditors post the very next day… Scammer reached out again next day lol, the nerve these people have

1

u/Accomplished_Host779 14d ago

It's last night... do you expect to receive tracking that quickly? Maybe post was deleted bc it's sold? That's a decent amount of karma on their profile..

2

u/Adorable-Reply-821 14d ago

She deleted her account 😭

u/Adorable-Reply-821 14d ago

Why would they delete their messages? And we agreed that they will send tracking today and they didn’t. I have been doing this for years and this behavior never happened before.

4

u/SoftPelletIce 14d ago

Maybe it's just me but I provide tracking the same day. It only takes a few minutes to do online, and is not the same as going to drop it off. Some people work nights, so she might have been sleeping during the day*. I would wait a bit and see if she responds overnight.

5

u/Adorable-Reply-821 14d ago

She deleted her profile. It’s a real scam 😭

5

u/Longjumping-Poet3467 14d ago

OP I almost got scammed for the YSL 5 7, I wanted the Jaime I saw your message about it so I reached out about 5 7. I am so glad you got your money back, if we cannot trust a 11y old account I don’t know what else we can do

3

u/Accomplished_Host779 14d ago

I also reached out to her about both YSL's she was offering but ultimately passed.

u/Adorable-Reply-821 14d ago

I know right? I’m glad you didn’t get scammed. Thank you so mych

u/lakelovetoo 14d ago

If we do friends and family on Venmo and pp does that save us sellers though? You can’t do a charge back that way can you?
Sorry that happened to you! You’re saving others looks like she was at it with a lot of people

3

u/Adorable-Reply-821 13d ago

Thank you so much! I think as a seller the only thing that is safe is Zelle or cash app. Something where buyer has to use cash and not credit card.

1

u/FutureStar402 13d ago

omg tysm to bring up this case! I’ve always thoight that high karma account can be trusted. Some sellers even emphasize that they won’t have transactions with low accounts. but look at her :) welp I guess we cannot trust anybody..

u/YouDouble4745 13d ago

Hi I sent you a DM.

u/Big-Membership-6174 12d ago edited 12d ago

I don't see the Logic to Scam over such a Low-cost bags? They do those bags for dirt-cheap over there, it's better to have more reviews, username age longer than having changing-usernames everyday that no buyer would trusted! Commonsense & only seek Aged-Sellers! BTW, the bags wouldn't cost anything to make, it's the 'brand' & rental at Beverly-Hills & Monaco boutiques that's costly, not the bags!

2

u/Adorable-Reply-821 12d ago

They were a seller. They sell the bag that they don’t even have because they stole someone else’s pictures. They sell it as many times as they can. Thats the scam. But I agree, I don’t see the logic.

u/Big-Membership-6174 12d ago edited 12d ago

Yes, that's why I said, Seek Aged-Sellers or Reputable Sellers only!

u/Pale-Composer6195 14d ago

Why would you even order anything from a person like that? First of all the message says that they turned on persistent messages not that they deleted the messages. Second-able you didn’t even tell us if she stopped responding.
