She's a scammer and that's my opinion.

I am now 100% convinced, too

 

[ladygrey]

Agreed. I've been taking screen caps of the guestbook and her facebook, so even though it's all gone now, I have record of it.

She's already busted. If she'll continue doing this scam, she'll really be in big trouble. I see it coming!

Agreed. She's a scammer who's been busted and needs to refund all the money she's collected and close up shop. If I was a subscriber I would have filed a PayPal dispute immediately. PayPal does flag accounts that have too many refunds and will shut them down.

This entire page was kind of scary--her exclusive invite. The way she's worded things to make it sound like she's honoring the brands.

I wonder if she is only taking memberships for that week because she knows she's going to get shut down and wants to get as much money as she can in advance. I feel like this is worse than GGG. And who in their right mind would pay hundreds of dollars in advance for a crappy piece of juicy jewelry as a bonus? 

Thanks again to those who took one for the team and subscribed. I'm hoping you get your money back soon!

I like how she calls it a "discreet" invite because, uh, WTF?  I tend to associate that word with businesses offering a generic company name on the credit card statement and (in the event that it is merchandise shipped and not a complete stranger showing up at a hotel room door) a plain brown shipping package with the aforementioned generic company name on the return address.

 

[snllama]

I feel like GGG was an actual business who got in over their heads. They started out very positive, but then went downhill. They attempted to continue forward by adding in crappy products amongst some great brands, but when the real brands ran out, they had no idea what to do and just stopped. And by that point they couldn't fix their mistakes. Not that I'm defending their actions. 

Whereas here she went into this with what seems like an actual intent to deceive individuals. Maybe she is so naive that she believes she is buying real Chanel on ebay? But at the minimum she has no right to state an affiliation with a brand she is not.

 

[nelliebelle1197]

The fact that she still isn't using spell check and misspells common words still floor me. The flagrant adjective abuse should also be stopped.

 

[kawaiimeows]

did anyone else notice how she included "the healing garden" on the list of brands on her website and in the "discrete invitation."

not to slam the healing garden because i found it to be fine for what you pay for it, but i clearly remember buying it from walmart years ago so that kind of bothers me. (idk if they still sell it there though)

This whole thing is HILARIOUS!!!!  I finally looked up www.poshpod.com.  Oh, good lord!  I guess that website design is what is considered "posh" and "high end" in Fargo, ND.  No offense to any other MUT members from there!  I am sorry but there is no way in hell Chanel or Dior is working with a brand new company like this when BB is much more established and we haven't even seen those brands in BB.  If those brands are in this sub then I am betting they are perfume samples.

Yaaaaaaaay I made the list! P.S. Silver, it's spelled "Writing" not "Writting". Just saying.

 ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[NutMeg19]

Does anyone think that M.A.C. and Chanel know they are "on board" for May?? This lady is crazy if she thinks she hasn't crossed over into illegal territory. Allegedly. Hahaha...

 

[ladybritt]

You all are such good detectives! lol I'm sorry for anyone who got one of these boxes, but thanks for trying it out for the rest of us and giving me some Tuesday afternoon entertainment! I am interested to see how this plays out once all the companies she claims to be getting samples from find out about this

 

[Souly]

I filed a pp dispute. Of course, she hasn't responded to it. Went ahead & called bank, they will be taking care of it. I believe her pp account is frozen until she resolves the dispute. I bet she has alot of disputes. At this point, I'm thinking there will not even be a May pod but we will see.

Do you think its safe to use the shampoo or should I toss all of it?

 

[Souly]

She actually responded to one of my emails:

    Your membership is cancelled, it takes till midnight for your refund to be processed at times for the month of May. Cancellations for a pod that has not been shipped is never a problem you will always get a refund. We have 3rs party distributors from many liquidators none of out products are old and it is not illegal to purchase third party. We purchase thru the verified buyers program of Macy's Bloomingdale's and others however, we take no old products no discontinued products, we purchase our products to be legitimate when we review. Please look for your refund processed by morning. we are closed Sat-Monday and did not get your messages until this morning. Your messages Friday did not come through our server until after the office had closed.
  Warm Regards,   [SIZE=14pt]Silver [/SIZE]

I think I'm banned from her fb...or she finally disabled posting since she deleted everything anyway. lmao.

lmao, what is spell check, Silver?? 

Also, we saw your e-bay account, you are not buying from anyone other than random e-bay sellers. I don't think there is such a thing as a "verified buyer", I could be wrong, but doesn't sound legit. Sounds like more of her "they send out fake pics to stop counterfeiting" bit.

I have a new rule. Never do business with business owners (and I use that term loosely) who can't proofread, spell or use punctuation correctly when they are addressing their customers.

It'd be one thing if it was once or twice or particularly confusing grammer or misspellings, but I've never seen anything by her not contain blatantly obvious errors. I mean, obviously many of them are typos, but still, if I'm typing more carefully on a message board, you should really rethink your business policies. 

 

[Angelaelle]

eBay has the ID Verified program for sellers where a seller pays $5 and Equifax cross-checks the seller's contact info against various databases. It only confirms identity only, not the provenance of the products they're selling.

I don't like to comment on people's writing skills because not everyone has the same education/economic advantages as I have had, but Silver is not doing herself any favors with her painful writing. Silver I'm sure Fargo has a community college. Before buying anymore skeevy cosmetics lots from eBay take that money and sign up for a business writing class.
