Fraud Spree Sites! Ladies Please Beware!

[nixx]

has anyone here spreed with esh4na before? I joined her UO spree in November and have yet to get my items.

Emailed her but there's no responses too! Have sent an email to the spree moderators on Thursday but they have not replied too.

[Soniality]

yeah, i was about to ask about the same thing for smoochiezz's spree shipping charges. cause' i had recently ordered 2 cosmetic items from her for her allcosmeticwholesale spree and the shipping charges PLUS registered postage i have to top up is actually more than 2 sets of bikini + 1 cosmetic item that i had spreed for VS. i mean, how can it be?? 2 cosmetic items > 3 clothes + 1 cosmetic item?? since assuming shipping charges are calculated by weight and no. of spree-ers (i supposed), then how can the weigh of the cosmetics be more than the stuffs i ordered from VS?


im quite worried now because i had placed a BULK order (before i have received notice bout the 2 items from her) for her other cosmetic sprees and seriously, if 2 cosmetic items + reg postage cost me $10, i seriously can't imagine how much i have to top up for the bulk purchase i did with her. =/

i think u can't compare them together, each spree has its own different shipping cost and i believe many are paying the same shipping as seen in her chart like allcosmeticswholesale is $3+ per unit?

so if you have 2 units, you will be topping $3+ * 2 + local postage + registered mail + handling = 10 +

it should depend on the shipping cost per unit on that particular spree but if you are referring to her local postage costs, it's higher than normal.
hmmm, i think most of the ppl spree with her already know about her high postage cost.

greenish: do meetup with her if you can. least she can't charge you for sg postage

nixx: it was said that the spreesgalore mods are her friends and let her carry on her "ways" so i THINK she might have done some "things" not sure too.

[nixx]

sigh. ok, this makes sense. if they're helping her, there's nothing i can do to get my items/money back.

[popiah]

nixx: yea others said the mods help to erase her negative fb counts

[Renesmee]

Smoochiezz is alright. I've spreed with her for alot of different sprees..and most of them have reasonable shipping charges, like I just topped up 5bucks plus for 2 tops from wetseal. Which is pretty acceptable IMO for reg mail. But I find that sprees like gmarket tend to have high shipping cos all the sellers @ gmarket pack their stuff separately and they like to use a big box for small stuff like lip balm! :/ So shipping really depends on the site you're spree-ing from..and I always do meetup with her cos
1)I want my items fastfast
2) save on postage :D

I can't help you much cos I've nv spreed from ACW before, but if the other cosmetics that you were referring to comes from ELF then it might be quite high depending on what you ordered. I paid like 10bucks for 3polishes+compact+liner I think.

Didnt check out eshna's rep here and I thought shes quite reliable considering the fact she always conduct sprees. Beware of this spree-org, shes a scammer. It been like 3 mths and Ive not gotten my items and refunds. Been emailing her and no reply.

[vivavoomz]

Did you contact the mods?

[nixx]

psyence, did you join the UO#13 spree like me?

I've tried emailing the mods too but they are not replying to me. I think it's really true that the mods are her friends and are siding her.

Im wondering if i should make a police report or go straight to her house and make a complain to her parents

[popiah]

nixx: do you have her house add ?
smoochieezz is alright really, I think she puts her hp no on her spree page ? try calling ?
it's been sometime since i spree with her, cant help u with e add part.

[nixx]

someone passed it to me so yup, i have her home add. but i feel quite strange marching to someone's doors to demand for my items/complain about their daughter

[ileimaginaire]

I first made contact with the organizer of an online spree for imported lip balms on Thu, 25 September 2008. She has two websites, namely, http://saccharine-lips.livejournal.com and http://vintageheroine.livejournal.com, her bank account number is DBS SAVINGS 027-5-056413 and her msn account is: liteluv@hotmail.com . From the facebook account that matches the latter email address, her name is supposedly Joei Chen. No other information is known about her, except that she is still organizing ongoing sprees as can seen from her new blog: http://vintageheroine.livejournal.com and her advertisements on livejournal communities such as http://community.livejournal.com/sg_onlineshops .

On Sat, 27 September 2008, I made an order via email for 8 of her items which amounted to a total of $64.80 inclusive of free normal postage, as stipulated from my email correspondences with her. The account number given was initially the wrong one, which suggested carelessness on the organizer�s part. The correct account number was then asked for and the payment of $64.80 was made to her account: DBS SAVINGS 027-5-056413 on Mon, 29 September 2008.

After this last email to inform the organizer of my payment, she neither verified my payment nor sent an update on the status of the spree until she allegedly mailed my items, which was irresponsible of her. In this new email, she said that one of my 8 items (with a value of $7.90) is out of stock and that she will refund the money to me. She also said that she has sent my parcel via registered mail on her own accord, which cost $4.60 and therefore will deduct that amount from the $7.90 she owes me. Overall, she admits that she has to transfer the remaining $3.30 to me tomorrow. However, she neither transferred the $3.30 to me nor updated me on whether or not she was going to transfer the money to me. In fact, there is also an error in her judgment. Normal postage is supposedly free in the first place, as stipulated on her website, and registered mail only costs a flat fee of $2.24. Therefore, the amount she should have refunded me is $7.90-$2.24 = $5.66, but this was not refunded at all.

On Mon, 3 November 2008, I sent an email to ask her for an update of my parcel, because I had not received the item yet, even though local posts usually only take 2-3 working days to arrive. On Sun, 9 November 2008, she finally replied to ask if I had received my parcel and did not mention anything about the unmade refund. Naturally, I asked her to track my parcel down, since it can be done because it is registered.

However, she was adamant about the fact that I should have received my parcel and that perhaps I was not at home when it came and therefore there should be a slip from the post office, telling me to collect it. I explained that it is not possible, because there is always someone at home and that I have never received such a slip. This went on for a few days of correspondence via email, until she allegedly admitted to losing the registered mail slip on Mon, 10 November 2008, and therefore cannot track my mail. I felt this was not only irresponsible of her to lose the registered mail slip, but also of the way she was handling the situation because she was not helpful in trying to resolve the situation. In fact, she even felt angry that I was trying to push the blame of the lost parcel to her, when she has lost the registered mail slip, which was the only way to track a parcel and also the only way to prove that she has mailed out my parcel.

On Thu, 13 November 2008, 12:33AM, she apologized for losing the registered mail slip, her reason being that she did not know that it was an important document for retrieving lost mails. She also said that she felt it would be unfair if she had to fork out $70 for the loss of my parcel, and asked how I would like to be compensated. I replied, saying that while I understand her predicament, I would like the stocks to be replaced and that I was fine with waiting. On Thu, 13 November 2008, 11:40AM, she proposed that she will replace the stocks that were lost after she opens another spree and will arrange a meet up to pass them to me. Even though she has since opened another three sprees after this first one, she has neither contacted me about replacing my stocks nor refunded me the original extra amount from out of stock item of $5.66.

Since then, she has not updated me nor has she replied when I tried contacting her via her two email addresses several times to ask about this replacement. Her current email address (vintageheroine@gmail.com ) and website (http://vintageheroine.livejournal.com ) are still working because she is still organizing ongoing sprees and uses this email address specifically to contact her customers.

The seller has finally made contact with me but has threatened with:

My reply was:

"I have only but stated the truth in there. It is true that I paid money for something I didn't receive, not forgetting all the facts I stated such as poor service and minimal status updates of the items. And it is also true that you promised to replace the items but failed to after months of waiting. What is worse is the fact that you blatantly ignored my repeated queries, which obviously was an attempt at shifting the responsibility to someone else for what happened. This is why you can't blame me for posting that, nor can you force me to remove it in any way. If you wish to report, that is your choice, because I DID NOT defame as it was all true.

I have already reported you to the police, as I have promised should you not reply to my queries regarding the replacement. I also do not wish to have any contact with you whatsoever because it reminds me of the loss of money over something I did not get, but worse of all, it reminds me of the extremely unpleasant first and last shopping experience I had with you - the worst might I add."

Please do be careful, ladies.

Hi,

Just want to share with you all one blogshop which I had a very terrible experience with.

As I spree-ed with her, she replied me almost immediately within an hour with payment confirmation an etc. But 2 weeks later as I received a defected bag, and emailed her about it, she was still nice offering to get an exchange from the manufacturer.

Then things start to get bad, she start to take weeks to reply when i told her that I do not want an exchange as I would like to refund instead and I will mail the defected bag back to her. Cuz initially I wanted to use it for Xmas but the waiting is going to be too long. But she didn't give me a choice and told me that the manufacturer have alr manufactured the bag! And even for the exchange, I have to wait for another 2 weeks cuz i have to wait for her existing bag spree to end.

Then she started to not reply my emails even after sending her 3 - 4 emails. I thought of using my friend's email account to email her asking if her she still have any bag sprees on to see if she is really ignoring my email.

SHE ACTUALLY REPLIED TO MY FRIEND EMAIL ACCOUNT!!

1) If she is really sincere about the exchange that she said is just is going to take about 2 weeks. I would have gotten the bag by now. But I didnt!

2) She replied to my friend's email and not mine even though I send her emails which are a few days b4 I used my friend's account.

3) The last email she sent was on the 22th of Jan, which is more that 3 weeks from now.

4) She really has bad customer service skills for letting an unhappy customer wait days and even weeks for her reply and leave me with no choice but to accept another bag which god knows how long it is going to arrive.

5) If she is bz, she could have inform me. And 3 weeks without any reply is seriously too much.

So cotters, please please beware of her as there are too many unethical sellers around.

ssuyii: sigh, she's the mod of spreehouse. previously there were unhappy spree orgs saying that she always puts her own post up on spreehouse on the 1st entry, just so that it would stay longer there. Also about her lens sprees having a higher price, her bags spree of lower quality.

It's really unlucky that you have a transaction with her, hope everything will be fine for u soon!
