transaction problems with Toccyn - RESOLVED

Dec. 15: Newest update: page 5

December 12th, 2006.

Toccyn (Clarissa Jones), You have been reported to the Internet Crime Complaint Center (http://www.ic3.gov/), and the police. I cannot wait any longer to get my body or my money back. Had you contacted me and told me you were having problems, I could have accepted that. As long as you had communicated with me, I could have tried to be lenient. But you abused my trust.

NO ONE SHOULD DO ANY FORM OF BUSINESS WITH TOCCYN, UNLESS THEY WANT TO THROW AWAY THEIR MONEY.

This crime is classified as a FRAUD.

All I want is my body or the money, and I will drop the charges.

I suggest anyone else who has not recieved their packages to go to Internet Crime Complaint Center (http://www.ic3.gov/) and report it. And then contact their local police.

December 11th, 2006:
(Mods, can you please make this a sticky, so no one else is stolen from?)

After:
7 PMs
6 emails
6 calls

and this thread, I am at the end of my rope. For some reason or another, Toccyn HAS NOT sent out the body. Between the three dates she said she sent him, I still have recieved NOTHING, as have two others who commented to this thread. I hate to say it, but only do because I can think of no other reason for any of us to have not gotten anything, but she lied and never sent us anything. I feel ashamed that a fellow DoA member could abuse their peers like this, it certainly makes this seem like a less friendly environment.

Toccyn. I have tried to contact you many times. With concern, with annoyance, with pleading, but I am not going to wait for you anymore. My money was not charity. I helped you out because you were going through a rough time in your life, and you probably still are. But your first priority was to cash my money order and send me my body, not rip me off. I am very upset right now, I wanted my boy to have a body by Thanksgiving, and now I doubt I will have him by Christmas.

I don't know why you are doing this, lying and ignoring people who obviously love this hobby as much as you do, if my assumptions are right and you are just keeping the dolls and the money. It might seem like there's nothing for people in other states to do to penalize you for this.

I could be wrong. You could be without internet (but then, aren't there libraries and friends houses?) Maybe you lost your phone (but I'm sure you could check your messages from any other phone). I don't see why you wouldn't even TRY to tell people the truth. We all paid alot of money to you, and it sickens me how easily I was taken advantage of.

Things always come back to you, even worse than what you did to others. I'm hoping you will wise up and do the honest thing before the repurcussions hit you. Because as it stands:

me-$402
sagejupiter-$160
Enki-$105

That's alot of karma that will catch up with you.

I will now be contacting the authorities- the FBI's internet fraud line, Moneygram, and the Hagerstown PD. Not because I'm being a horrible person, but because I am tired of being ignored, and tired of the lie that my body was sent out weeks ago.

UPDATE: December 8th, 2006 (one month since payment was sent): I have managed to get ahold of Toccyn in a way I can't disclose, and hopefully, she'll be getting back to me soon. Let me reiterate, in case she does come online, all I want to know is where the body is. What day it was sent off. If it was sent off. I hate to keep this thread going, but until I recieve the body, or my money back, I cannot. So please, get in contact with me, Toccyn! I don't want to have to repeatedly use this method of communication.

And I don't want to go to the police.

Please, do the right thing.

Update December 4th, 2006. Toccyn has still not responded to me, nor Enki or sagejupiter. It's obvious that she's avoiding us now, as she hasn't even been online for a week. I can understand not coming to DoA if you're too busy, but not even responding to emails? Toccyn, you need to do the right thing and tell us where our items are, or give us our money back. I want my body. I was kind enough to trust you, and now your negligence has finally worn away all of my patience.

If I recieve no body or emails by Friday December 8th, one month after I sent you the money, I will be contacting the Internet Crime and Fraud Center, and Money Gram to revoke my money order to you. I have your old address, name, birthday, and your picture, and I will have no problem going to the police if I get no word from you by then. I also have every single PM, and email, along with my money order stub. I can only assume at this point that you are purposely doing this, kept the money and didn't send anything to any of us. Maybe the mail lost it, but that is your problem, not mine. You wrote me an email TELLING ME you would get a delivery confirmation, and you (as far as I have seen) have failed to provide one.

Please don't let it come to this. I don't want to retaliate and seem mean. I just want what I rightfully bought. I unfortunately don't have $402 dollars to throw around, I have to work hard for my money, as I'm sure you do. Please, do the right thing and contact us. All I want to know is that you sent my package and that you aren't trying to steal from me.

Your silence is very unfair, and isn't reflecting well upon you. Please! Speak up!

Update NOVEMBER 29th 2006: I have still not gotten my body in. Also, Toccyn posted to this thread, saying my body was on the way, but with no delivery confirmation, and no keeping in touch, I am getting more than frustrated. It's been over 20 DAYS since I sent a payment, and this is getting ridiculous. I didn't send off money in a way that was helping someone to get brushed off like this, and I'm not feeling very nice about all of this now. Toccyn, I NEED TO KNOW WHEN YOU SENT MY BODY immediately! I have been waiting long enough. Having talked to my post man, and him telling me that a package from Maryland should have come here by now, even with the holidays and the blizzard we've had is unnacceptable. Please do what is right, and give me more than a one sentence answer. I want facts. I think I deserve that, having been kind enough to send you the amount of money I did by Money Order.


I had to send you all my earnings from a paycheck. and whose suffering? My boy, whose just wondering where the heck his body is. And my trust. I almost feel after this whole thing that maybe I can't trust my fellow doll lovers, and that's very very sad, especially after all of the positive experiences I've had on DoA. I implore you, just get in contact with me. through email, through PM's, I'll even PM you my phone number if that will make you feel comfortable. I just want to know I am getting this body, or my money back.

But I will NOT take silence as an answer.


update: 11/25/06: 4 days later, I still have gotten no word back from Toccyn on if she sent the body with a delivery confirmation (which she said she would), or not. I understand that the holidays get hectic for people, but I am really starting to get worried, as there are obviously 3 people waiting on things from her, and she's not even checking her email now. I am hoping to get him on Monday, if not, I'm not sure what to do.

update: 11/21/06: She is okay! I received an email from Toccyn, telling me my body is on the way. I'd like to keep this thread up until I get it though. Thanks for your support, everyone!

Also, anyone trying to get ahold of her still, email her from her user page. In the end, PMing did nothing for me.

I am looking for Toccyn (or anyone that might personally know her) to see if she is okay. I first contacted her on 11/1/06 when she had a DM Amos and her CP Shiwoo head and body for sale (that thread has since been deleted). I felt bad as she was having family problems and wanted to help (even if helping got one of my boys a body). Due to the nature of her problems, she couldn't accept paypal, and I sent her a money order on 11/7/06 for the CP Luts body. After a few days of not getting a hold of her, I started to worry, and put a thread up on 11/15/06, asking if anyone knew her whereabouts. I got an email from her that day, from me emailing her from the site.

In the email, she told me she would send out the body (which she recieved the money for) the next day after work. That would have been Thursday, and today is Monday. I have gotten no email, delivery confirmation (which she said she would send to me) or a package of any sort.

Her last activity on DoA was 11/17/06, the day after my body was supposed to have been sent.

I am really very worried, not only for the money that I gave to her, but for her own well being. I sincerely am hoping that she is all right, and something came up that had to do with her family problems. that is totally understandable. But I need to know ASAP if she is going to send me what I paid for. I have been waiting to get my boy a body for a very long time. It is very disheartening, as all I have to prove that I bought him are a handful of PM's and a money order receipt. So far I have only had good experiences on DoA, and I would like it to stay that way.

Toccyn, please respond/email me, as soon as possible. First, to make sure you are okay, and second, so I know that I will be getting what I spent my money on. Anyone who might also know her whereabouts or can talk to her, can you please tell me anything you may know/relay this message to her?

Also, anyone who wants to post telling me all the reasons I was wrong for sending a money order, please save it. I was trying to help a fellow DoA member going on tough times, and that I don't regret.

 

Thank you, luna-rouge, I would appreciate that.

Thank you also, whitebread! I'm mostly worried about her and her family troubles at the moment, because I want her to be okay. I know she's probably going through a tough time, but paranoia's also asking why hasn't she written/why isn't my purchase here yet. Hopefully, she'll be online again soon, so everyone can know she is okay.

 

See, that's what worried me, that she had signed in a couple of times after pm-ing, but then the pm's have been all screwed up the last week and a half for me. . . it seems I have to contact everyone on the forum. I'd be doing this on the thread she sold me the body in, but it was deleted. I first started freaking out because I didn't know if people did that before the doll was sold and shipped?

I am just hoping that she is okay, and that the reason she hasn't contacted either of us was some sort of emergency. Still, it would be nice to know. Because that was alot of money.

 

Okay, I got an email from Toccyn today, saying that my body had been shipped out. She's been busy with work and moving. Thankfully, she is alright. I want to keep this thread up until I get the body though.

Enki, sagejupiter, I suggest that the only way to really get a hold of her is email her, if you haven't already. I got hers from her userpage. At least it will make you worry less.

 

bumping up, as my body has still not come.

Enki, I'll PM you right now, I think that since she's moving, she's only getting on once every three or four days. >.<

 

another bump, as the body that was said to be in the mail monday has still not come (I can expect no mail on Turkey day, but I haven't even gotten emails back from her on confirmation numbers which she said she'd provide. )

 

I have emailed her 3 times. I know her real name, but it would be alot to ask if you could call her for me, and I don't feel comfortable asking for her phone number from you, as it's not fair to put you in the middle of this. But. . . yeah. Come Monday, if you're still interested in helping, and I haven't gotten the body, I might take you up on that.

 

hopeful monday morning bump.

 

That's totally fine, it's just your last email didn't say that, and I thought you told me I'd be getting a confirmation number too. . . can you at least tell me if you got one? I wrote you an email asking if you did, and what day you sent my body out, but never got a response. I know things have probably been uber hectic, but sending off that much money is very scary when the person you sent the money to hardly contacts you back.

Can you please tell me what day you sent it off? Because he didn't come today (per my postman) and what postage you did send him off under. . . I'd like to know when to expect him, because I've been waiting quite awhile. Thanks.

 

another bump, hoping for answers.

 

I'm hoping so too. . . I was told it was sent around the 21st, and it's now the 28th. I just want to know what shipping it was sent. . .

I was told I'd get a confirmation # too, but I guess $1.50 for delivery confirmation was too much to ask for.

 

another bump, and an update in the first post. Toccyn, please read, or pm me!

 

sorry! I was just trying to find a serious color that stood out!

 

Um, actually, I'm freaking out because she has been very unresponsive so far and giving me one sentence/vague answers that don't answer my actual questions. Plus, I asked my post man, whom I know and trust, today how long the actual shipping would take depending on different rates. He said that even with our snow, and the holiday, that even not by priority mail, it should have been here by now, if it was sent out around the 21st as she said. Also, if my body was sent out book rate, that's not only wrong (as when you send things that way, they ask you if there are books/dvd's/vhs in the package), as that is a service for media ONLY, but you are not supposed to send fragile things through it, and that would be pretty upsetting. I know because I sell alot of things through half.com.

A delivery confirmation is a piece of paper you fill out that they paste to the box and give you the other half,. so you can inform your buyer of the confirmation number. It costs maybe $1.50-$2 at the most. I don't usually do it with priority mail either, but for anything slower, it at least eases frustrations on the buyers end, especially with more valuable items.

So, I'm so very sorry if it seems I'm freaking out over nothing. It's just that Toccyn made statements that she would send me a delivery confirmation, and I guess I wouldn't be going through this if she had followed through.

I know. and she said she'd send me one with the package. But I have no way of knowing if she did or not, as she won't email me.

I'm sorry everyone if it seems like I am freaking out too early, but here are the facts I'm basing my paranoia on:

1. Toccyn isn't contacting me, even to answer questions I emailed WEEKS ago, when she has definitely been online since then. I have sent emails, PM's, and even my phone number, and have gotten no informative response to my questions.

2. Other people are having problems with her. They have posted to this thread. Some have been having problems for longer than me, and they still haven't gotten their packages.

3. I sent alot of money off to HELP SOMEONE OUT. Right now, of course I feel freaked out because I can't get any straight answers on shipping she used, confirmations, or what day things were sent off. I don't CARE what shipping she used, priority or otherwise, just as long as I know when it was sent, and when to expect my package.

I have nothing against Toccyn. I just want clear answers.

 

Thanks luna-rouge, I've been trying to give it time, but everytime I get a vague answer, I'm not sure what day he got sent. . . (21st, or 27th?) I know that this situation is making me have to be patient, but I'm not sure what to do about any of this. I know I just want answers. And a delivery confirmation. It was fine she sent the package slower, I just needed a DC with it, for my own sanity.

Sorry HeatherC19, I didn't see it as a comfort when you used the words 'freaking out'. Considering it's going on a month, I've just really been very paranoid, especially since I paid so much money. I don't want to seem like I'm 'freaking out', I just know other people are going throguh these problems, and I just want some answers so I can get the body for my boy that I saved up 3 months for. So sorry if it seemed like I snapped at you, I was just trying to get my sid of the story straight.

I'm not mad at Toccyn, and I don't have anything against her. If she can't get on the internet, it's not her fault. I just wish I had a little more contact.

So, I guess I'll bump this up through the weekend before I keep 'freaking out'.

 

I'm going to give it through the weekend. Then I'm going to try everything I can, as I've given her 4 ways to contact me (PM, email, mail, and phone #).

Did sagejupiter ever get her head?

Thats what I was saying in a previous post. Sending anything other than books, magazines, vhs, dvds, or comics via media mail is wrong. I've had people complain that their brand new books I sent (via half.com's regulations) came in bent. I'm not saying anyone did that here. I hope they didn't. I just wish I knew what was going on.

A Friday morning bump.

 

body still didn't come today. Really wish Toccyn would actually TRY to contact me over simple questions.

 

bumpe for today, the mail hasn't come yet, but I find it very upsetting that a week has passed since my last contact with Toccyn.

 

She has a liability to me. I have an email where she says she would send my body off with a delivery confirmation, which she never gave. Plus, it's awfully weird that none of us have gotten any of our packages. I plan on pursuing this to the fullest extent. I am so annoyed right now, that means anything. The least thing Toccyn could do as a decent human being is contact all of us, tell us when she sent things off, and why she didn't do delivery confirmation on all packages. One not arriving? I can understand. But all three? Can anyone mess up an address that many times?

Do what you have to, I am still hoping these things come in for all of us.

 

Bumping as I edited the first page with more info.

I am going to be out of town on Thursday, but will be back on Friday. I can keep in contact with my gf, and see if she gets anything. I have put up that if I recieve nothing by Friday, I will take legal action, but if there is anyway I can be a part/help, I am more than glad to do it. After all, I am sure it will be a stronger case with the both of us. (and I know I can trust you, as you sent me a doll and I actually got him! ) If you can call me, please do, I pm'ed you my #. Here's hoping.

 

Bump because yet again, my package is not here. Why am I not surprised?

 

I was talking more of getting the mods help into making this a sticky, in case we are all being scammed. . .

 

Bump for (you guessed it) no body here today.

For anyone else trying to get a hold of her, several names I have found that could be her.

Clarissa Jones
Clarissa Dull
Claire Dull

I've tried calling 5 people in Maryland. Nothing.

I don't want to be mean, I don't want to say things that seem like I am accusing anyone of anything. But having no contact at all, especially for this long, and with so much money, I am beginning to feel scammed.

Scam is a very strong word. I'm not trying to use it lightly, just because I've paid $402, someone else has paid $160, someone mentioned $31 and I'm not sure how much Enki paid. But, I'm not sure what else to call it, as she said three seperate times things had been mailed off, didn't put on the tracking number she said she would, and refuses to communicate with others. I can only wait so long before I have to do whatever it takes to get either what I rightfully paid for, or am returned my hard earned money.

Even down on her luck, her first responsibility was to cash my money order, and use a portion of the money to send the body to me with a delivery confirmation.

Sorry, if any of that came off snotty, I'm not trying to be. I'm just trying to figure out why I haven't gotten my body yet, and how someone (even down on their luck) can be negligent to (at least) 3 people.
