Unresolved Paging anneguish - UNRESOLVED MEMBER MP BANNED

Oh no, I hope everything is ok, I'm near the end of a layaway with her, I have one final payment to send her soon but now I'm worried...

Hope everything's ok...

 

You're not the only person looking for her

http://www.denofangels.com/forums/showthread.php?t=38116

 

Doesn't look good, and I didn't just buy eyes or dice either....I really do hope it's just a case of her not feeling well or something, I can't afford to lose this money I've spent so far...but she seems like such a caring honest person...

 

*hugs*
I hope everything works out for you and I do hope it's just a case of her just being ill or without internet or something (though, I spent a year completely bedbound thanks to my M.E. and still managed to honour sales on eBay so I don't think that's a particularly good excuse)

 

Don't worry, I know how frustrating it can get, it's happened to me with a few people, but everything worked out in the end....

Sorry to hear about that, my boyfriend's mother has M.E, diabetes, and a butt load of other crap wrong with her, and she sleeps most of the day, so although I don't have it, I know isnt (i put is before ) easy to deal with...

 

anneguish was last on DOA 01-12-2006, 06:18 PM where she made a post:

but did not answer a single one of her many many pm's or emails...I know cause I have sent her atleast 15 pm's and 3 emails since the end of december and she has not contacted me at all...I paid her a month ago and have not recieved what I paid for nor Have I recieved a refund for failure to send out purchase.

 

I guess this is looking really bad.

I've already sent her $4000 and I have another $200 to go...I can't claim for the $400 back since I sent it a few months ago and I don't really want my money back anyway, I just want my Vampire Lishe.

I know I haven't finished paying yet, but if she has just disappeared I'm wondering if there's any point in paying the final amount now...or whether I can kiss my $400 goodbye.

I really don't want to think badly of her, but she was last online (meaning she signed on to DOA) on the 17th, and replied to someone's email on that date, so why she hasn't responded to your emails/PMs is strange...

Please anneguish if you read this get in touch! I want to give Lillith a good home and want to make sure you haven't decided to leave and not send people's items out....I bought Lillith in good faith knowing you needed the money and I really don't want to think you are scamming people

EDIT: if she doesn't reply to the email I sent by the 23rd I'll at least be able to claim $200 back, then if she responds and apologises I will send the money back to her as well as the rest of the payment.

However I'll still be down $200. I really don't want to claim though as she said the money was for medical bills and her parents/mother used her credit card to pay for it....

EDIT2: Also guys, try her other emails, like [email protected]

 

I havn't seen her on AIM lately, either.

 

I just hope it's due to her not being able to get online than her running off with the money I don't think she'd do that after making herself known in the community...

 

My experience with her was exactly the same!

I bought a Unoss from her last year, and it took her awhile to send her... she finally came, but was missing her eye mechanism.

She put me off and put me off (months pass) I send her 5.00 for postage for it.... still no eye mech.

She tells me all kinds of tales of woe.... similar to the quoted one above

I still have never received the eye mech!!

Eventually I found one on ebay, and told her not to worry about it, but I will never again deal with her...

Ouch...

I know everyone's pretty upset about the whole deal but she did say that she's goin through some hard times now.

She's not goin to run off with your money, she's not like that.

Just give her sometime, I'm sure you all have gone through hard times that have prevented you from doing things important for other people, but as said before she'd goin through some personal problems at the moment.
Dont make her feel any worse than she already does please.

 

Please don't take this the wrong way but do you know Anneguish personally? It's just that a lot of people who have sent her money don't and after hearing about scam after scam here, it's hard to be quite so forgiving. (I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt here by assuming that you know her and you're not just randomly sticking your nose in)

Also, it's not as if the transactions occured last week, some of the things with the doll layaways have been going on for months and the transaction I'm involved in has dragged out for a month with no contact from her whatsoever.

I know you want to stick up for your friend which is very admirable but please remember that there are other people involved who have invested a lot of money (in some cases) and have every right to be worried.

Er No, I'm 34 and have never done anything that let anyone down and believe me yes, i have known hard times both finantially and medically (I have just had to receive treatment to prevent me going blind in one eye and posted a doll as promised enroute to the hospital) I am not trying to be "holyier than thou" or say i'm perfect but No i can honestly say i've always done what i've said i will do

 

OKAY. look.

I KNOW Anneguish personally. I've met her, I've talked with her.

We don't exactly get along, but I WILL vouch for her. She's NOT a dishonest person. She's a little overactive and silly, but NOT dishonest. She's just a young girl who probably got way in over her head with school and problems at home and she's just busy.

If you or someone has a doll on layaway that's taken months, I assure you if you haven't paid it off, it's on the back of her mind. I've had people that take weeks to mail me all their money and then get pissed at me because I don't ship immeadiately. You get what you give in the end - I'm not pointing at all of you, but if you just finished paying, give her some time, some people are NOT quick shippers and you just have to accept that.

Guys I know we've had scams and such, but sometimes PMs don't make it and sometimes emails don't get replied to. One of my best friends hasn't replied to an email I sent almost 3 weeks ago and she's been online repeatedly. It happens sometimes.

Let's quit crying potential scam, this girl's history of shipping and selling isn't up for disection and all this discussion is doing is dragging her damn name through the mud, and until she's proven guilty as a scammer, we don't walk all over it like this. Just be patient please. I will see if I can get in contact with some people down in Norfolk, see if someone can give her a call.

 

I just called her and I saw her last weekend. She's been comming off bipolar medication and anyone who's got through medication withdrawl knows it's not fun. She hasn't forgotten about you guys and she will get the stuff out to you or refund your money (if requested) as soon as she can get back. To the person buying the vampire lishe: she definately hasn't forgotten about you and hasn't run off with your money, i'd personally beat her up for you if she did ^_~ She says she hasn't gotten an email from you but she'll try to email you soon, you might want to drop her another one. I don't know anything about the Unoss eye mechanism, I forgot to ask O_o

She knows it's no excuse and understands that your angry. She doesn't expect anyone to forgive her for it or to not be angry just because she's having a hard time but all refunds or items will be given where applicable if needed when she's ok again. She feels horrible for making you all wait.

 

^^; I personally know RenHikaru and she's a sweet and Kind person. all she was doing was trying to stick up for someone she knows...I'm sure anyone else who knows anneguish would do the same....

I'm sure Ren is jsut trying to put people at ease by saying that anneguish is not a Theif...

I'm angered by what anneguish has done over the past couple of months (I"m one of the few she's neglected to send stuff/Neglected to refund money/and Neglected to contact) so I know how everyone feels...

I will not look down on, be angry with or criticize anyone trying to stick up for anneguish. as this should not turn into a flame fest...^^;

 

I'm not sticking up for her, I'm putting myself in the position of go-between untill she's back on. If there is anyone else who wants me to tell her something specifically, please PM me and I'll give her another call this week. I do not live in the same city, but I do see her occationally.

 

Thank you so much for contacting me, please give her my regards, and I hope my messages weren't taken the wrong way.

I understand I haven't finished my layaway, which is MY fault not hers, I know this, and I'm not stating "she hasn't delivered my items so I'm annoyed!" because I have no right to be, but I am going to get the rest of the money soon to her and wanted to make sure everything was OK to send it.

I do not believe for one minute she's a scammer, as she's told me about recent hard times, I'm sorry for being worried about it, it was selfish of me to worry when she is not feeling well! I hope she gets better soon and I apologise for just worrying about my money!

I hope she can forgive me and not take my comments to be slander because I honestly think and still do believe she is a nice caring person! ^_^

 

It's perfectly normal to be worried, she understands and I'll make sure to pass along your well wishes.

 

I wouldnt butt my head into something that didnt concern me....I barely post on this forum as iz.

 

she can't get online right now...so i'm here to call her if there's something specific you want me to relay to her. I'm gonna call end of the week as I doubt she'll be on by then. I called her yesterday to let her know you guys are concerned...so pm me if you need something about your specific item communicated.

 

I still haven't got my items How about the others...? Does anybody know if she has any intention to send out the items she sold?

 

Have you paid attention to this thread at all? She's arranging to have items paid for sent out by her mother. If I had a functioning car/license I would drive to her place and get everything sent out.

If it'll make you feel better, I'll call her sometime tomorrow.

 

i've also called her to let her know people are concerned about their stuff...and am calling her again later this week if I don't hear back from my last message.

 

Just out of curiousity, did anyone ever get their items from Anneguish?

I filed a claim with Paypal for my stuff and although they found in my favour (due to her not replying) her PP account had no funds in it so I lost my money =/

 

No one got anything. She hasn't contacted anyone, and she's blocked people from her e-mail.

 

Due to the last answer I feel quilty even asking about this...

But now that somebody asked, nop, I haven't recieved my items either.

 

put your feet her in her shoes, would you like people bothering you if you were going through bipolar symtoms? I for one, wouldn't. If she says she's gonna get them out, she's gonna get them out. Her condition takes time, it can take months!! Oh well....I really hope everyone gets there things. Or how my boyfriend tells me when I start to panic. "CHILLAX!!" LMAO!

 

Look, I'm sure that Anneguish is a lovely, decent person, has every intention of sending everyone's items, probably rescues homeless kitties in her spare time et cetera, et cetera but there are a lot of things about this situation which have been really bothering me.

1. Using illness as an excuse

Sorry but as someone who spent over three months in hospital and a further nine months after that almost completely bedbound and yet still managed to honour all my financial commitments, that just does not fly with me. Yes, every situation is different but if Anneguish is so ill that she is not able to psychologically function, then someone ought to be put in charge of her affairs.

2. Her mother shipping the items?

Sinful Resin stated on January 31st that Anneguish's mother was taking care of sending the items out. That was over seven weeks ago and yet nobody (to my knowledge) has got anything. Yes, people lead busy lives, especially if they have a sick child to worry about but given that ALL major parcel delivery firms offer the option to pick items up from your door (and I'm sure that nobody would mind paying the extra fees just to get their items) this is also something I find worrying.

3. The amount of money involved

While it's all well and good people who know Anneguish telling people not to worry and how we should "put our feet in her shoes", I think that asking someone not to worry about a transaction that involves VAST sums of money (on top of any emotional currency spent on these dolls) is really quite silly. Can you honestly say that if you'd handed out upwards of $400 to someone whom who you've had no contact with since December that you wouldn't be worried?

In relation to other people who are waiting for dolls, I'm not out that much financially but even so, not only is it money I can ill afford to have thrown down the drain, there's also the principle of the matter.

I'm sorry if I've sounded harsh here but I know there are quite a lot of angry and upset people out there who haven't felt able to speak out because they feel guilty for railing on a sick person. As an ill person myself, I have no problem doing that because I *AM* walking in Anneguish's shoes and I know damn well they're not comfy but I'm still walking.

My advice to anyone who's waiting on a doll/layaway would be that unless you hear DIRECTLY from Anneguish herself within the next few weeks or so regarding your transaction then your only choice is to file a claim. If you can't do it with your credit card company, then go through the courts. Regardless of her situation, if Anneguish can not and will not honour the transactions she has been involved in, then she is at fault and I doubt a court in the land would disagree with that.

 

Well I have a bit to pay off to her...yet hearing that no one has received anything and everyone is still worried I'm not sure.

It's to late for me to claim, and I don't think I can claim through the courts (can I?) whilst living in the UK...nor would I really want too.

I will send the final payment if I can hear some news on other parcels being sent so that I know she will follow through, I just want my Vamp Lishe! I don't care about getting the money back

 

AFAIK Rinoa, unless Anneguish actually put a disclaimer stating that your transaction was governed by United States law when you agreed upon the layaway, not only can you file a claim but you can also do it in a UK court, under UK law. As long as you have the necessary financial evidence and copies of your correspondance with her, then you should have no problem if you need to do that.

 

Ami is a wonderful person when you meet her, I do hope everyone gets their items....as for the bipolar, I have to deal with my patients that have this disorder on a nightly basis and when their moods change, you have to be very careful when talking to them, you never know what state of mind they are in. It may sound like a lame excuse for some here that have transactions with her, but it is a real illness that needs time to mend before they can function with others.

 

I"m in complete agreement with Ishamel >.< I think that her "illness" excuse has grown old! we've been waiting for months! with no word from Anneguish herself! If she was so ill that she couldn't complete trasactions with in 30 days she shouldn't have been selling things in the first place. I hate to sound harsh as well...but when it comes to handling other peoples money...you don't screw around.
It's incredibly irresponsible of her and the fact that she has already spent all of the money sent to her and if she has no intention of sending out items owed to people is nothing short of Stealing.

I'm also one of the very many that has sent her money and hasn't gotten even a response from her since December...

I don't need anymore of her friends claiming they would "Make sure" that everything would be sent out... cause you haven't to this day done anything to ensure anything has gotten out since your claims in Janurary.

Cause at this rate it's starting to look like people may deceide to take her to court and then it'll be a legal action against her and the courts won't care if she's "ill" or not.

I also have quite a few friends that are Bipolar and they don't get involved with anything they can't handle and at least 75% of the time they're completely normal you almost can't tell they have it...if she was so worried about her disorder she shouldhave had a friend that lived close or a family member get on the board that would take responsibility for these transactions and contacted the many people she gladly took money from and did not respond after money was taken.

 

Anneguish was in the hospital for a month and a half...we only managed to get ahold of her by phone recently. They don't know what's wrong with her, they're still running tests. It may not excuse her not sending the items yet, but it's not a lie.

 

People should NOT be guilting these buyers over being concerned over this. You have no idea what shoes they personally walk in themselves, so that line is just uncalled for. Probably more people than you think on this board battle numerous physical and emotional issues, probably even some doing business with her. Regardless, they all have every right to be frustrated, angry etc, when they have not been given the respect of a response from her or the person handling her affairs.

These are business transactions, they require responsibility, if you can not be responsible for your transactions or communication with those that have given you money, because you may be out of commission for months on end, then you should have someone in place to manage those affairs, just like you do for your bills when things like this happen.

It's not at all reasonable to almost scold these folks that have worked hard for their money, some struggling to put it away for months on end for these dolls, to be told - you'll get it when you get it, you selfish person. Not directly, but that is the message that comes across.

Things happen, but you have to have something set up to communicate and deal with your committments. Communication that gives them a timeline or plan of action. Otherwise, warning should be given to those that may do business with them. That would be the honest and fair thing to do.

This isn't meant to be a flame or a rant of any kind, my heart goes out to those that struggle with mental and physical illnesses - my own family deals with both - but you can not use it as carte blanche to be irresponsible to others when it comes to their money. If there are friends of hers here, the best thing you could do out of respect for not only her and her reputation, but out of the people here, you should be going to her mother to help her make arrangements to take care of her committments & communicate with those that she is doing business with rather than scolding people here for seeming insensitive.

Sorry for babbling, but I would feel absolutely sick if I just stood by and let my sister do this to others. Especially with the group like this - it's a group of exceptionally kind and trusting folks. Our family always makes sure that her responsibilities are taken care of when she is in a bad cycle and it makes life easier for her to not constantly be expecting others to just put up with it because she's "sick" and easier to ease back into her life, without there being anomosity or debt collectors waiting for her.

 

Hm... I'm not sure that I agree with this (as an outsider). Each person is different, and one cannot apply one's own template to another's situations and especially illnesses. You spent a long time sick and still honored your commitments? Great! Honestly, that's really awesomet that you can do that. But some people can't. When a family member of mine was sick (like, deathly sick) I, though in the perfect apple of health, was unable to do anything but take care of this person. I can understand your frustration, but I don't think one can say, "Well, I was sick, and I was fine, so why can she be sick and not be fine?" That's kinda not how it works.
But I do agree with Darkrogue, that people have a right to be frustrated over this situation. I just don't think it's fair to drag her personal affairs into it.

 

Like I said I don't mean to sound harsh or insensitive, it's more of a tough parental love thing due to going through this sort of stuff with my sister's illness. If people around her do not do more than just defend her and call and chat, they are letting her down. It won't get her out of the legal trouble she could find herself in or keep her credit from going in the crapper. She'll be facing more stress when she comes back to her real life. That's enough to keep you in a funk, knowing you have all sorts of unfinished business hanging over your head. Mad people, legal troubles etc.

Whether it is an illness emotionally or physically, being by their side is nice and important, but what happens when they get back to a real life and the mess it's become due to everyone thinking taking care of her physically is all she needs.

Honestly, emotional support is the easy part. Helping someone keep their life in as much financial order as you can while they go through these things is hard, but I know my sister is much more at ease about getting help and focusing on getting better when she doesn't have to worry about things hanging over her head when she is back home.

 

Illness is no excuse for bad business.

Illness did not impede her from deleting her Paypal account thereby refusing to pay everyone who's money she took.

I suggest you don't make excuses unless you're willing to take full responsibility for her actions, which are inexcusable.

 

Holy poot, she deleted her paypal account? Eeeesh, she's really going to create a massive hole to get herself out of. Hope friends and family step up and help resolve some of this.

 

She deleted her Paypal account? So technically I can't pay her the rest of the layaway and I won't be getting a refund?

I just want my Lishe....I'd pay her off now but I'm getting worried about everything....

 

My response was not a guilt trip, I appologize if it sounded that way. I was letting everyone know what was going on so that they at least had that information to do with as they wanted. I appologize for trying to help by attempting to get in touch and telling everyone what I know if you didn't want to know, but those who have messaged me seem to appreciate knowing what I have to report so there's at least hope of getting their stuff.

I in no way condone the irresponsibility of not sending thing immediately nor did I know she'd deleted her paypal account. I'm trying to help get your stuff to you, that's the best I can do.

Again, I'm sorry if it sounded like a guilt trip, it was NOT meant to be. I've been in a similar position and keeping in contact with one of that person's friends helped me to get ahold of them, I am only trying to do that for others.

 

What a mess.

 

Anneguish really needs to contact those she took money from...and owes us either our money back or our things that we've purchased from her!!!!

=-.-=

she's been online a few times and has not pm ed anyone she owes items too and it has been 5 months ...this is ridiculous! I think we have been patient enough...

 

umm maybe you guys should file suits against her like what people are thinking about doing with a non delivering comissioner in the buyers section.. Good luck, I know this is really none of my business. ^ ^'

 

I'm bumping this up, has anyone had ANY resolvement or been able to get money back one way or another? I'm just really angry at how all this is being handled and I think I'm being strung along so I'll never see my money again...

 

BUMP please someone let me know, I'm really annoyed when it's alot of money involved, it's not like I can just throw this money away. We're talking $400+ from October!

I would just like some help at least!

 

man that is so ****ty someone would do that too you, im truely sorry ill keep my eyes and ears open to anything if i hear soemthing or see something.

 

The thing is I'm not the only one..*sighs*

And thank you! I don't think she's scamming or at least not trying to scam, I'm not sure, I'm just extremely upset because I bought this Elf Vamp Lishe because 1. I love Lishe and 2. I knew she needed the money... ._.

 

Isn't there someone who lives near her that could hire a van and go and pick the stuff up and send it out?

Rinoa, if you are in touch with the person who knows her maybe you could front the money for the van hire then call it quits?

This is just a suggestion, and you may feel that its throwing good money after bad.

I was going to offer my opinion on this matter, but feel that it's redundant seeing as I'm not directly involved.

 

Many people have suggested that and offered to do it. I'm not sure why its not happened yet.

I don't live quite close enough to her, though, since I don't have my own car X(

 

where is she, i do not mind doing collections. i can be VERY convincing.....

 

Katie > that isn't such a bad idea, I'll have to see what's happening, the person getting in touch with her can't get ahold of her and believes she may be in hospital again.

Girlytattoos> She lives in Norfolk, Virginia. I have no idea if that is close to you at all.

 

I just saw her somewhat recently. Couple weeks ago at another friends house. I remember bringin this whole doa thing up and I swear I remember her saying something like everything had been taken care of. T_T

But since things haven't been resolved, can everyone that have not received the items they paid for, pm me with the details. ie your name, the item, what you paid (in case refunds are in order), and your address? I guesss that's all I'll need to help this situation out. :/

 

damn just alittle tooo far. well if i win the lottery or something ill fly up there and go collect and return everyones stuff.

i hate thieves.

 

Sinful Resin > Thank you, thank you so much, I have PMed you the details, I just hope it doesn't come down to a refund, even after all this trouble, I still want my doll, because I have big plans for her But I appreciate anything you can do to help. I can't believe she said it was all sorted, unless she didn't want to talk about it? I dunno, I just don't want to think badly of her but...oh well..

 

At this point, I think she has legitimately earned the anger of all that have bought from her and not received what they bought.
