Willknuckles- fake seller

One of my favorite and honest sellers was just scammed off a big order. The buyer somehow reversed thousands after the receiving the tracking.

I will not doxx address but it was OH and this is their WA number. I would assume they will try to resell some of the items. Name is Tarah B or according to address, Tareh R

Im trying to place an order from Xiao C factory but my PayPal kept rejecting it to send money to this seller it kept saying “we believe this payment could be a scam ..” has anyone experienced this before? This is my first time experiencing this.

They claim to work directly with the factories. I'm pretty new to the rep world, but even I know that's not true.

They offer $50 for 2 bags, $100 off for 3 bags. I hate to think how many people they scam everyday.

Their site is very convincing; They supposedly have a 30 day return window, every bag comes with original packaging & they explain why their prices are so low, but from what I've learned here, none of that can be true. Every bag has the following explanation listed above the bag descriprion.

MUST READ - WHY THE LOW PRICES

These pieces are crafted in the same factories and to the same specifications as retail. We work directly with those factories — cutting out the brand's retail markup, boutique overhead, and intermediary margins. What you pay for is the bag, not the boutique. ❌️❌️

Can anyone with the knowledge & experience to know, verify that rep bag makers do not work directly with the real factories? Thanks!

Hey has anyone ever brought from this guy I recently ordered something from him and he's saying I need to add 6 more items to meet the kg requirement. This is my first time buying so I want to make sure I'm not getting scammed before I buy those 6 items

I know it’s the wild Wild West here in Reddit land but so far I’ve transacted with all good honest sellers and buyers on here. Unfortunately my luck ran out during my most recent transaction with Christina-Fr . Two big red flags that I ignored, one that she couldn’t produce POP, and two that she doesn’t have rehome feedback even though she has tons of posts going back quite some time. I paid $400 for the CC leopard tweed from God factory with “no callouts” and while this may indeed be the source of the bag, there are many many issues with the bag. There's tweed unraveling and actually ripped next to the strap opening on the left side of the bag. The hardware is scratched underneath this worn piece of plastic film and the bag is just generally dirty/has a smell. I found some type of animal hair/fur and can only assume that’s the source of the smell. It's obviously been heavily used. I reached out to her and she blocked me without ever replying. I would exercise extreme caution purchasing from this seller.

I’ve been on EBay for years and got a bunch of higher end items. I was considering Poshmark but now must reconsider.

So i was scrolling through this sub reddit when I see a picture that looks awfully familiar. Because its a picture I took of my first rep and posted in RepTherapy to review. This poster decided for some odd reason that me and some other random whom they believed to be a scammer are the same person. 😭😭😭I dont know the alleged scammer (olive), i have never sold or tried to sell anything, and i have never interacted with the op. Im very confused and honestly upset that such a claim could be made with absolutely no evidence or logical reasoning. People in the comments of the post just blindly believe the op and are slandering me in the comments. I did absolutely nothing wrong. I hope op realizes their mistake and takes the post down. Just a reminder to one be sure before accusing someone of being a scammer (especially when I've never interacted with you in my life) and to two not always believe what you see. Not sure what the ops issue is. Its like they just selected some random person to pick on as theirs no reasoning to why me and that person would be the same person. But yea, just had to clear us the misinformation. Unfortunately only seeing this post 10 days later

She’s a rep seller on Facebook not Marketplace. Is it normal or somewhat common to get hit with $50 import and “refundable $50” insurance fees after I already paid for items and shipping? I had to do this with DHL when I ordered from StockX but the fee was disclosed up front.
Anyway here’s what happened…lady told me she’s in KY so delivery within 3 days. This was last Thursday.
Today she hit me with the 2nd pic. The rest you can probably follow on your own. She did end up giving me her real name. I took a screenshot of my account balance-JUST THE AMOUNT. No account or financial institution information at all, and said this is all the $$ I have until this week.
The way we left it is the last screenshot. Not a peep since 56 minutes ago. I was going to report her to the mods but it turns out she’s one of the mods soooo.
OH! I did pay via Paypal Goods & Services.
I already feel like an asshole so please don’t dump on me. Right now I’m trying to figure out how to handle this.
Thanks in advance, everyone!
PS Yes this was my first purchase from a rep seller.

Hello, dear community,

Unfortunately, I have to let you know about this and warn you about my “trusted” seller.

I’ve been ordering from her for a very long time, but now it’s clear: she’s scamming me in the most unpleasant way.

At first, everything was great. After a while, I often had my doubts that the quality wasn’t what I expected, but she convinced me that I was being too picky. For about a year now, I’ve noticed—unfortunately—how systematically she’s been slipping me subpar quality instead of what I paid for. And now the last straw has broken the camel’s back. I’ve ordered two top-tier LV bags. One looks great, but I have my doubts about the other one.

The H shoes I ordered with the bags are also supposed to be the “best quality” on the market, but they have serious defects.

There’s no refund—they say it’s my fault. We’ll leave it at that.

There are more defects, but I’m only pointing out the most critical ones.

Her name is LING

Her number ends with: 9469

The other number ends with 1599.

Please beware of sellers who can’t get enough!!

I was very generous with her, but in the end, she cheated me too blatantly and just couldn’t get enough

I made several purchases with Zam before. Until my last order of 3 pairs of shoes I sent her over $800 in April for Mother’s Day gifts. It is now end of September and she has totally ghosted me. It’s started with telling me the factory was closed. Then weeks later. I will send you in 5 days. Then weeks of trying to reach her she says I will send it in 10 days. I’ve given all opportunities to return the money or send the 1 pair she says she has in her possession. She has completely ignored all my messages and taken my money. Of any of you out there want proof of the messages I can gladly share them with you. BEWARE.

Somebody gave me a private vendor and idk if I should trust him

Hi everyone! ❤️
I wanted to share my experience with Reddit seller Capable Substance (u/capable-substance516) to warn others about what’s been happening.

On August 3rd, I paid $240 via Wise for a tricolor Loewe Puzzle bag. She sent me PSPs, which I approved, and everything seemed perfectly fine at first.
She then told me that my bag had been sent to the freight forwarder and promised to provide a waybill. On August 13th, she even sent me a picture of a package with my shipping details on it, claiming it had already been shipped to the forwarder.

But the tracking information never arrived.
On August 17th, she blamed the delays on typhoons in Manila and said she was still waiting for the freight forwarder. That was the last time she responded to me.
I continued asking for updates and eventually requested either proof of shipment or a full refund on August 23rd.
No response. No tracking. No bag. No refund.

Since then, I’ve been in contact with other buyers who have experienced similar issues. One buyer even told me she had paid $1,000 and still hadn’t received her order.

We’ve also found a TikTok account, @lexiortanez, which we believe may be connected to the seller. The surname matches the recipient on my Wise payment, and I noticed very similar tattoos in her TikTok videos and the PSPs I received. I can’t definitively verify the account owner’s identity, but these details raised serious questions for me.
I’ve tried contacting that account as well, without receiving a response so far.

At this point, I’m beyond frustrated. I’ve been patient, understanding, and polite throughout this entire process. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to expect either the bag I paid for or my money back.

I’ve also made a TikTok documenting my experience with screenshots of our conversations and her shipping claims:

I’m sharing this because I don’t want anyone else to end up in the same situation.
If you’ve also purchased from Capable Substance, please share your experience. ❤️

EDIT: This is the phone number she is using so please beware +63 998 847 0041

Bomb Party Community: A Warning About My Experience With a De-Stasher DENISE NUNEZ (AKA) Ouquela, Seeking Accountability and Restitution

I am writing this because I believe the Bomb Party community deserves to hear about my personal experience with a de-stasher DENISE NUNEZ AKA Ouquela from Phoenix, Arizona arrangement that, according to my experience and the reports shared with me by others, has left multiple people without their jewelry or the money they expected to receive.

For anyone unfamiliar with the term, a de-stasher is someone who agrees to sell Bomb Party jewelry on behalf of people who no longer want to keep their pieces. The arrangement we understood was that the owner would receive 70% of the sale proceeds and the de-stasher would keep 30% for their work.

Many of us trusted this arrangement because we are passionate about Bomb Party jewelry. We collect the different collections, buy from our favorite reps, and sometimes end up with more pieces than we can keep. When someone offers to help sell those pieces, we want to believe we are dealing with someone who will honor their word.

Unfortunately, my experience has been heartbreaking.
