SCAMMED OR ME BEING CUNNING? YOU DECIDE. 

Hey guys, its been nearly a month now since I last blog.. 


Sorry for not updating as I do not have much interesting matters to share with you~ 


Its been a rough time for me.. 


This post will be very long and wordy, as its a very emotional post, so bear with me. 


As everyone knows that I have been scammed for 500+ bucks from my blogshop supplier, I have been trying to get back my losses from her but obviously she is avoiding and lying to me. 


I will just do a summary of what happen, I will NOT mention names AND all evidences that I have. Will only show one picture. 


I mean I CAN post up all the evidences that I have (which I have already uploaded the pictures in my draft but didn't post it up. ) 


If these scammers are reading this, they might think I am bullshitting, if you think I am, just drop me a message, I will send you a copy of it~ 


So this is how it goes. 


Not long after I patched back with A, I decided to do business with her gf, C . I have been whining bout how broke I was, having not enough money to spend/survive and this was what they suggested me to do. 


Telling me how easy it was, won't have any problems with the stocks because I can get the stocks from them. 


They managed to convinced me to work together with them. I was really excited, I was really enthusiastic. Esp when I have my FIRST customer who actually trusted me when there are full of scams all over the internet. Of course not to mention my own friends who also showed support~ 


I started this blogshop on 20 December .. 


At first some of the stocks didnt manage to arrive on time because C claims that it was Christmas period which the stocks will not come on time, need to wait for another 2 weeks. 


(Note that I have paid her in order to get my stocks.)


Ok, its logical right? Christmas , New year AND Chinese New year period are very busy, so shipment would be very stuck up.. 


I get it.. But my VERY first order was during Dec and it came on March. C's reason was because she forgot that order and it came late. 


Which is understandable, people forgets sometimes right? 


BUT what's made me intolerable was, it came with WRONG colour AND WRONG size. 


How could it be wrong colour and size when I specifically sent an email to her, with picture and size along? 


I didnt know it till my customer told me. Why didnt I know? Because she sent it out on my behalf as she FORGOT to bring it to me when I was suppose to meet her to collect ALL my pending stocks. 


Mind you, I stayed around Jurong area and I have to travel all the way to Yishun to collect my stuff, but I didn't complain. 


Now when this happened, it was already in MARCH. When some of the stocks SUPPOSE to reach even BEFORE Chinese New Year, but still didn't manage to. Some was because it was OUT OF STOCK. 


I have already customers who was requesting for a refund as they have been waiting for MONTHS. 


So I HAD to refund them from my side. As A said that she would do the refund herself. And thats when I trusted her and did the refund so that my customers won't think that I was scamming them and being so irresponsible. 


Also, I was very pissed off that the quality I get from the stocks are really unacceptable. 


I mean, I GET IT its OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturing) Which means its NOT the Authentic item but the looks and quality are the CLOSEST to the authentic ones. 


BUT the one I received was so fake looking that its not even match up to the price! I can freaking get this kind of item for like 35 bucks ?! but I paid for about 100+ ? 


I explained to them that I was very unhappy bout the stocks I received. But to them, I was being unreasonable. Which C brought ALL THE WAY BACK FROM HK. 


I did 3 refunds already but 9 was still pending which god knows when it will arrive. So I cancelled all the pending items as it was a WASTE of time and energy to work with C any longer.


At this point of time, I knew our friendship are being affected BUT when working with them, I have been mentioning bout I DO NOT MIX WORK AND PERSONAL LIFE TOGETHER. 


Because both of them quarrelled ALL THE TIME. Either of them would come to me and tell me how sad,angry they felt. 


BUT when I confronted C, she said I was making things WORSE for them. I CAUSED them into this current state.. 


Erm, I was talking bout WORK, why would you bring ur gf in this situation when its TWO DIFFERENT situation??? 


C claims that she has no money to do the refund in one shot. (Also note that she DID NOT KNOW WHAT PENDING ITEMS I NEED FROM HER.) 


So I gave in and comes to agree that she would pay S$100 PER WEEK. This agreement was from 9 March. 


Till now I only received S$50. 


During this period of time, I have also fought with A, I mean we didn't talk/text/msn. Why? Because she decided to stop contacting me. Block me from Twitter/Facebook/MSN and Whatsapp as well. 


So its obvious that she made her choice or maybe she was forced to? who knows? 


A also claims that this whole incident is NONE of her business. 


So if its so, why would you stop contacting me? If you are so professional bout how you manage your work and private life well, then why would you stop talking to me? 


During March period, they went to HK for their Holidays. Still claims that they are broke to even spend for their trip.


I suggested to A that if they don't wanna drag this matter, they can return me the whole amount at one shot when they are back from their Holiday. 


I couldnt find C because she was at HK while A is still in Singapore. So she is the only one I can find right? 


Ya, of course she was totally pissed off at me.. I didnt have a choice did I ? 


A few days later, C Whatsapp me saying that she WILL return me in one shot when she is back. Proof as below.






P.S : I have LOTS of proof to show, but I will only show this. I am already nice enough not to expose their faces and names. 


I was nice enough to actually EXTEND the deadline and even replied nicely. 


But C decided to go MIA. 


The only way was to text A bout it, kept saying that she had NOTHING to do with this, they never talked.. etc etc.. Really? When u guys LIVE TOGETHER? right.. 


Seriously the moment I texted A, C WILL REPLY within MINS! =D Wow! So u guys didnt communicate? Do I look 3 year old to you? 


Lastly, A told me C was still in HK.. At first I believed it, that explains why no reply from C, because no WIFI.. 


Fine.. I shall wait.. BUT I have a feeling that they were lying their way through, trying to avoid me and so on.. 


Little did they know. I found the proof that she IS IN SINGAPORE. 


I even confronted A bout it, and she still continue to lie.. 


How did I know? Facebook, ya.. She blocked me but I have my own way to see her updates.. She was in Singapore ! 


Whats with all the bullshit like NO WIFI? U can even bloody update ur facebook when u were in HK! 


Whatsapp is the best proof that u READ ur messages. Everyone who uses Whatsapp will know what I meant. You will know whether the other party read ur messages OR NOT. Even ONLINE. 


Obviously I was very angry, because they were lying this entire time!! 


On the other hand, I was utterly disappointed that a close friend of mine actually lied to me. 


They said I was threatening because I posted up proofs on my Facebook,which was just a small part of it, felt that I was demanding. 


If I was so threatening and demanding, my blog,facebook, twitter will have all the evidences all over the place. I gave in to C because  of A. But instead of fulfilling our agreement, they stepped on me all over the place. 


Now you may ask, if I was in this state,


1. Why didn't I report to the police? Ans: Because she WAS my friend, I didn't want to be so cruel to do such a thing when there were already others reported her. 


2. Why didn't I want to expose her entirely? Ans : Because it won't change the fact that I was scammed and cheated.


3. Why would I even blog bout it ? Ans : Because I had too much to bottle up in me and I had to rant it out, explain to my customers who mostly are my friends and lastly to warn bout others how unsafe to buy things online. 


After DAYS of messaging and chasing her, I still get no replies from C. So I had to text A again and apparently she claimed that I was twisting my words AND being so cunning, she was so regret to know me as a friend to begin with.


Years of being best friends together, betrayed a couple of times and this is what I get in return. 


Dear Customers/Friends, if you would like to see the proofs that I have collected, Just let me know, I will show it to you. 


I won't expose them because like I said, its not gonna change anything and yes I will feel so much better, I can get my revenge, but I tried not to feel so hatred and unfairness in me. I want to be humane and not to be on the same level as them. 


I was told to stomp them but no, I won't do it. 


For a moment there when A hurt me so badly with her words, I wanted to do it. But after cooling my head off, I just realized that its not worth it. Because I am different from them. I will be just like them if I were to expose them.


I will also try my best to do the refund once I am back from my trip. Please rest assure that I will not be irresponsible. 


This is the part of what I have to say. If you wanna hear both sides of the story. 


Just feel free to email me/text me/ contact me. 


I may be in a difficult state right now, but I will try my best to stand up and move on.


Most importantly to heal my heart. 


Thanks to my Family who was there for me when I am in this state, esp my mum and sister. 


Mum even had to sell her stuff just to clear this debt. 


And also customers/friends who were understanding who gave me time to do the refund.


Thats about all now. Thank you for taking your time to read this long winded post of mine ~ 


Will move on and try my best to blog more, that's also included if my life is more interesting~ =) 


Till next time~ Take care!

Sis, I'm so proud of you for letting go this matter off after all these bitches did all nasty things to you. They're really utterly bullshitting so much that karma surely will hit them hard. No matter what, me and mum will help u to clear the debt.

They just pray not to see me or mum any where else.
