Please don't believe things that you hear

[meloneyb21]

The point is people don't believe there is a sister pregnant with twins or a friend pregnant with triplets. It is not that the sister didn't like them-it is that everything is a lie. Just like the story about looking for Starbucks coupons. The OP was scamming people. It isn't about someone else making money. This person was MAKING UP STORIES to scam people on the DIS.

And that is what you get for doing business with individuals on the internet. There is no way you can confirm or deny that the person is lying until you see your stuff for sale somewhere....

A Larceny by False Pretenses is a crime, I'm sure the victims state has a similar statue. Getting prosecution is an entirely different dabate.

Notifying the board in general of the criminal activities of someone is not a bad thing, is it? When the other board members could be the next potential victim?

I guess telling everyone they weren't acting like adults is mature?

And, I'm neither angry nor stirred up. Actually, I'm glad to see the matter brought to light so others won't be victimized.

what is not mature in case you missed it and obviously you did what the comment of my advice at it's cost, you might not like what i have to say, and i could honestly care less but i am offering non judgement advice, take it or leave it, you see i am not one of those individualt that let idiotic statements draw me into an argument, so i am done responding to people that act like children,

we are adults, so please tell me what is getting mad and staying mad going to accomplish,
you can notify ebay if you like but they will most likely do nothing
you can notify whom ever you want, it is your word against theirs and i gurantee you no court will require a person to produce a pregnant sister or a pregnant friend in this matter, so again, you might not like what i have to say, but hey again do what you want to do and good luck with it, it happend, it's done and regardless of who is in the wrong, there is noting you can do about it. It's life.

You are right about that.

I like the post I just saw about the OP sending someone a private message asking for the Starbucks coupons because she didn't understand eBay. I wonder how long it would take for those to show up on her eBay store with the ones she already has listed.

this is not the place for this discussion,

now here is some professional and free advice

if there is no written or verbal contract in ref to the items, that specifically states she cannot resell or give the items away it is basically none of your business.

i don't know the facts or the background but if the op said she needed things when she did not (AGAIN ONLY IF THIS HAPPENED) just to sell them, she should be ashamed of herself, it is more of a moral issue not one of fraud. -again i have no idea if this is true.

Once you give items away, they no longer belong to you, and what she does with them from this point forward does not concern you.


I have taken part in my fair share of arguments and debates here but hear me when i say this is not the place for this fued. Everyone act like adults and let it go.

If threats are made, and again IF document it, keep any proof you have and you can take it up as a civil matter but if the two of you are in different states, it becomes difficult, You can call your local police department and make a report. They will contact her or her local police department for them to speak with her.

I sincerely hope, that 1 no one is making threats and 2. no one would make up a tale that someone is making threats just to gain sympothy- i am not on the side of anyone here but perhpas it is best if you
leave the matter alone, do not post on it anymore, do not post or make harsh statements about it period.

Everything done in the dark will someday come to light

let's grow up and act like adults.

good luck

I cant believe you can defend this if you were married/are married would you like someone to take advantage of your wife like this

Thanks HappyLawyer. I understand your view better now. I think it was ok to tell other dis members too. I still stand with when we are hurt and feel like someone has taken advantage of us then sometimes we go overboard. I am sure their are several hurt people in this. I thank you for the lesson. It still is sad you have to always wonder is someone really needs help or not.

OT: My grandmother had a food bank for years. People came to get free food. Some would roll up in fancy cars, smoking, wearing fancy cloths with cell phones etc.....And we would question her. Why are you doing this day in and day out when people are taking advantage of you? She said it was not her busness. It was her job to supply to the needy. They would be responsible for their actions in the long run. This has laid on my heart for many years. To the ones who gave, you did a great thing to give nice things to help others in need. To the one who did not need it and sold it for whatever reason, I hope you take time to think about what you did. Try to undrstand where people are coming from. My grandmother has past now and I often think about all the people she helped that really needed it. If one bad apple had changed her mind then what?

 

[disneyfan67]

She has also emailed me at home and threatened me this morning. She has made me worried for my own families safety.

SO in short I am writing this to let you know that I hope you don't believe everything someone says since most of the time it's NOT true.....some people like to start rumors or say untrue things about people. It's very hurtful and she as well as a lot of people here has said mean things and I don't think I will be back to this board again, which is a shame since I really enjoy talking with eveyone here but WOW, some people sure have a mean streak! I guess you will have to find someone else to head up your exchanges because I am finished here.
Goodbye

This statement bolded above is probably another lie as big as the ones you told on other threads. One day you probably will pull a shady deal that is so bad and really will end up causing your family or yourself some harm. There's some people in this world who have no boundries when they feel they have been cheated, wronged, or insulted/disrespected. Good luck when that day arrives and I wouldn't want to be there when it arrives. My advice is: It's just best to keep on the straight and narrow and quit looking for any shady angles to make money.


People like you will always be back because you know no other way than to scam or "play the angles" as my dad would say. I really hope that there's some justice in this universe and you get a good dose of it. You and others like you, make society a worse place to live and give people like me no other choice than to distrust any cry or plea for help. It's sad, it really is and the damage you and others do, has long term affects.

I think I'm stupid today. I can't seem to connect any dots.

I'm not seeing the KEY to connecting her with Mommy2Lots. Mommy2Lots 3rd post on the DIS says she's in CO (around 7/5). Her recent post is to show an auction of large baby items for pick-up only in Denver, CO. Co-incidence with similiar interests, sure. But I don't see the location connection to GA. Please help dummy today.

Next, I STILL don't get how she benefits from running an exchange. (I've seen a similar exchange/then ebay sale in scrapbooking, but didn't get that either.) SOOOOO, hOW does it work in baby exchange. People are only sending in 1 item & getting 1 back, aren't they? How does she get any extras to sell on ebay?

And I TOTALLY get that she was asking for gift/donations of coupons & outfits for sister & friend & then ebaying those. I'm not THAT stupid today.

This is so not like me to not get this. Maybe I should go back to bed.

i do not have a wife but my husband was killed in 9/11 if you really want to know and he could defend himself. If you read all my posts you would see i am not defending anyone, i believe everyone deserves the benefit of the doubt, i read the first page and i responded, then someone, no names mentioned pm me with some links to her stories and told me to read the entire thread which i did.

I haven't really followed the whole exchange thing or the mommy2lots either.

I think what people are really stirred up about are the stories to get donations and the lieing going on there.

and also if you read my posts which you might have missed it i know many times when we read thing we need to go back because we have missed something, i gave advice IF threats were being made, i made it clear that i was not on either side because i could not was she was not threatend but i could not was that she was either, here is the thing people lie, you have people you know that will lie, and since i do not know either of the two or more involved i simply said what steps to take if she was being threatened, but i never acknowledged that she was.

sorry about your husband, like you I read your reply and responded before I read the rest or your posts both guilty of diving in

 

[HappyLawyer]

me too, i did the same thing, i did not remove the post because i stand by it, i feel some valid points were made and everyone may not agree with it and i am fine with people knowing that i read then responded the read again,

i do think it is funny that people seem to think i am a man
i'm a girlie girl
lion in the court room though

OK, reading that hurt my head.

Not a single captalized letter and only two periods, both at the end of the three paragraph sentence!

My understanding is that the person who runs the exchange decides who sends what to whom. An unscrupulous person could give their own name to several people, while assigning no one to herself.

Oh....THANK YOU. Explained nice & easy for my brain today.

Much different than how a scrapbooking exchange works...that's why I was confused.
(Side note: I worked at bank for 7 yrs.....never bright enough to figure out how to pull anything there either. A good thing I suppose. )

not sure how to take that but i will just take it as a compliment
