Wake Forest, N.C. 27588 or Franklinton N.C. 27525

aroberts66@aol.com

If you have questions about the complaint,
please contact the person who it was filed by.

*Note from Mediator, Pat:
Detective Wood is requesting that anyone who has an outstanding debt with Ms. Roberts please contact him immediately at ggwood@co.wake.nc.us if you have not already done so.

I sent Allison a m.o. for $257.55 for nine retired buddies. I verified that it was cashed on 4/12/00. She emailed me that the package must be LOST. I believed she fabricated a bunch of positive feedback on Yahoo, so as to appear trustworthy, & make a killing on nobidding.com She has over 400 pieces of positive feedback on Yahoo. Of course, now some NEGATIVE is starting to come in. She put a bunch of listings on nobidding.com all at the same time, & is raking the money in & sending very little, if any, merchandise to the buyers. Have you been contacted by others concerning Allison? I have given her negative feedback on nobidding & now all of her listings have been closed. I wanted to warn others. A few of her victims have emailed me. Allison emailed me, stating I should send her documented proof via a certified letter. I found the phone number for the Wake Forest Police Dept. & I have sent for a copy of the cashed m.o. It will take 10-14 days for it to come back to me. Allison's email is aroberts66@aol.com. I went to Yahoo auctions to check out Allison's current negative feedback. She NOW has a total of 19, 14 of them are NEG SELLER feedback & 5 are NEG buyer feedback. I emailed the Yahoo message board, in hopes that the buyers who left the negative feedback will contact me. I left a message with Postal Consumer Affairs. I will check to see if there is a confirmation of my package being sent. Allison has never sent me any tracking #, & has offered very little in the way of an explanation.Thanks for your time. I look forward to hearing from you. This is a definite planned out SCAM! Can we all band together & go after her?

Copies of cashier's checks, money orders, personal checks that have cleared, and any official Paypal receipts showing monies "beamed" and received by me will do. Legal advice to me is that I shall ask you ONCE if you have a problem with any shipment that was purchased., send me a certified letter stating what the nature of the problem is. Period. This CERTIFIED letter shall then be turned over to the Postal Commission and my own legal counsel. Any other action you choose to take in this regard is yours to decide. However, please know that slander and harassment are well-prosecuted in all  states. I am trying to resolve any lost item issues and mis-sent parcel  problems.

BECASUE YOUR NAME IS NOT ON THIS LIST IT DOES NOT MEAN YOUR PACKAGE WAS NOT SENT I ASK HOWEVER THAT YOU THEN E-MAIL ME BACK THAT YOU DID NOT SEE YOUR NAME AS WELL I AM WORKING WITH THE POSTAL SERVICE THE NUMBER IS SAME AS ABOVE AND THE CASE NUMBERS ARE KC 341 5616 AND KC 341 5790 AS WELL THIS DOES NOT REFLECT EVERY PACKAGE THAT WAS SENT

The package was mailed to mark larson on April 3rd 2000 address 22726 Nutmeg Road Jasper M.O. 64755. it was mailed from Wake Forest N.C.27588.the confirmation number is torn form being stapled. But I did send a scanned copy before it was stapled. When they notified me that the item had yet to arrive I asked for them to verify there address which they did not do.I asked them to please send me a copy of the auction along with a copy of payment and the address this item was to be shipped to confirm there would be no further problems.I as well told them that if the error was on my part I would send out another item or refund there money they have not yet sent me anything in the mail.I gave you info before that I am in contact with postal service and trying to reslove the matter from which there first package was claimed not to be recieved.I am willing to send another package.I also have talked with postal service and they will not look into it until 30 days have passed.I have kept what I feel is an update in resolving this matter.another package has been mailed is being or was being mailed out to her tommorow.So since your the middle person in this what do you suggest? So before you have me looked into if you are here to help as Mr larson has said then I feel should be given the benift of a doubt.So if you feel calling the police and everyone under the sun will resolve this in faster.then there isnt anything I can do but provide them with the documentation I do have and the copy of the request I e-mailed them. oh and as well since my mother is mailing out in the morning the confirmation number for the package will be 0310 2990 0006 1988 9715 i tried to call her to stop it until i heard back but i can not get in touch with her

Watch out for Ms. Roberts of Wakeforest, NC. She's a seller on NoBidding and I believe also on Yahoo. She doesn't send the item you have paid for. When you ask her if she has received payment or when she sent the item, Ms. Roberts sends back a form letter per her legal advice that if there's a problem to send her a certified letter stating what the nature of the problem is. Ms. Roberts will then "turn it over to the Postal Commission and my own legal counsel". So as you can see it looks like she's been doing this for awhile if she has "legal advice" already.I ask her a simple question and she gets testy! Barbara Wong

I called the 1-800 #, which is the Postal Service. I talked to a person who said that the case had been turned over to Consumer Affairs. Perhaps this is a kid with a credit card. She does have a PayPal account. Allison has never emailed me a tracking #, though I have asked for one several times, therefore, I do not believe she has mailed me a package at all. The negative feedback on Allison started to come in on Yahoo & Nobidding about the same time, after my m.o. had been cashed. I'm thinking my next step, is to contact the local police. Michelle Sparks emailed me about Allison, after I left negative feedback on nobidding. She is out $1454.00. She is in the process of compiling a list of names of people that sent money to Allison & have not received the merchandise. You can email her at we2sparks@aol.com I was also emailed by Barbara Wong awon@chevron.com who also sent money. Michelle sent money via PayPal. Both of have left complaints on the cautionlist.

I received an e-mail that asked me to send a message to you about Allison Roberts, who has auctions on Yahoo. I won an auction from her on 3/28 for 5 Blue Face Spangle Beanie Babies. I paid for the merchandise on 3/30 through Paypal. She never admitted to receiving my payment till two weeks later, then told me that the package had been sent, and I should receive it in two days. It never arrived. I have done everything she asked me to do (confirmed my mailing adress twice, and sent a certified letter with receipts, ect.) and all I have received from her is excuses and no answers to my questions. If you could tell me how to make a formal complaint, I would like to do so. Thanks, Louann Steele

I just now got off the phone with Mo. Postal Consumer Affairs & Claims, which I was referred to by Raleigh, N.C. Postal Con Affairs. The clerk at the Missouri Office said that those CONFIRMATION numbers mean NOTHING! She said the claims would have to be filled out by the sender, that I had nothing to do with that. The address Allison gave me is Allison Roberts, P.O. Box 1441, Wake Forest, N.C. 27588. This phone # & address
(919-853-0146
1102 S. Main St.
Wake Forest, N.C. 27588)
was given to me by Mike Serr (also scammed by Allison) emerald5@triton.net Vickie gave me another phone # where she had reached Allison. Thanks!

Beware of Allison/Freda Roberts - aroberts66@aol.com and aroberts51@aol.com

Be VERY VERY Careful dealing with Allison. I was the high bidder on two of her dutch auctions on Yahoo, one for 3 lt. blue peanut and one for 7 sets of beanie kids. I paid her the total amount ($1,400+) by PayPal..She took the money and sent me only 2 beanie kids and 1 lt. blue peanut buddy... and says that the others must have been stolen out of the box... which she insured. The strangest thing is that there was only $15 postage on the box... how can someone send 63 beanie kids and 3 lt. blue peanut buddies for only $15.75... including insurance... The she was sending me a second 3 sets to start to replace part of the other ones not received... and those never arrived either...strange.. I have sent and received 1000's of packages and have NEVER had one one lost or stolen from and now problems with two packages from the same person... not very believable. Definitely AVOID dealing with her. And Allison...once I get my money back or my merchandise, I will change this rating, but not until then! I also have emails from 2 other people who have had problems with her and if anyone else has had problems with her, I would appreciate hearing from you. Michelle Sparks

This letter is to inform you that I to am seeking legal action. I have spoke with the local Police Dept. and as well the postal service. I have all documentation that I need. I am tired of being harassed. If it is felt that a wrong has been done then I sorry do you feel is needed.Michell Sparks has been sent her item not 1time but twice. She is leaving repeat comments on my feedback which is against there tos. I have an E-mail from her stating she was okay with the information provided to her. And yet she felt the need to make a complaint.That of course is her right. As far as Mrs. wong her packages was undeliverable and when I have it back it will be mail once again to her.Mrs larson item is on its way to her and I feel sure that the matter with her will be resolved. I have been told via legal means that you have not right to be asking things like this with proof not just and E-mail. I ask to talk with you on the phone as I would like any manner resolved. You said you can not do that as have means of proof. But the proof I sent you questioned and said you couldn't read or did not receive all when I have copy from my fax showing the documentation went through. I offered to send you scanned copies. You would not except that. It is the holiday weekend. And as I have tried all means I have to help resolve any and all matters with transactions. I feel I be of no further assistance. I was to understand that you where a neutral part to try and help resolve and issue but your means and E-mails have implied you find me guilty of actions without cause. You asked for my side of the story I gave it to you. You ask 48 hours I replied within the day. I have done nothing wrong. So I have no concern of legal action. My records of any and all transactions are available to any legal agency that can prove they are a legal representative, Police, FBI, Internet, attorneys ect. So at this time it is not that do not wish work with you. I feel that nothing is being help with the contacts between us . So as sorry as I am I must insist that you take any means you feel needed and let it be handle by the authorities as I am working with the postal service and that take precedence over any others as they are Federal.

Boy what a nasty person. Allison Roberts knows absolutely nothing about doing business or customers. I sent ARoberts@aol.com a check on 3/25. I sent Allison Roberts $39.50 for a Blue Face Spangle beanie baby.It cleared my bank on 4/3. I still have no product. It seems she is having a problem with the US Postal Service. It seems many of the products she sent out are now lost. Can you let me know what this is all about? Do you know? Thanks Linda

I think that some of these are just pure and simple complaints without true merit. Because of one person that did not do as she was supposed to on her end that has been mailing people and asking the to e-mail me and you to make complaints that have not been E-mailed updated and have not gotten there stuff. You seem very quick to believe that I am being dishonest. That is why I ask to speak with you on phone and then write you any E-mail and send you any paper work your request. But I am not trying to be rude and I am concerned if there is a problem that is due to an error on my behalf I have no problem in trying to resolve it. But Trudy I have been working with postal service in full. As well as calling my attorney to see what I should do as far as having sent package and having people say they did not get them. As well I have spoken with the police dept. in Wake Forest. On how this problem can be resolved. I am sure you do have complaints on people that have scabbed or not complied with people. But I am not paying the no attention attitude. I mailed out over 300 packages in week alone. And I have no control over the postal service. packages do get lost and misdirected. And people that are buyers and seller alike are not always truthful. One lady I know for a fact but will not mention a name as I am thinking of pressing charges myself started this. But E-mailing everyone she could that had ever bought from me and. I have gotten e-mails from people that have never bought from me and once they where confronted with the fact that was fraud played it off as being a joke. I have this same lady that has asked everyone she can get to leave bad feedback and claim they never got there package. Trudy I am sure your trying to help in your on way. But this is in the hands of the officials as it is. And i do not mind trying to go through you to resolve this.But it is just in my mind that you want to believe them more than your willing to give me the benefit of the doubt. My phone number is 1-919-853-3931.

HELLO! I just reread this email that Allison sent to you, about mailing me my package 4/3/00. That's interesting, since I didn't even mail a m.o. until after that date & it was cashed on 4/12. I'm sure she would mail me items without receiving my m.o.! She is a lyin' dog! The interesting thing is that she continues to email people with all these excuses & lies! Nobidding.com surprisingly provided me with a list of people (13) who had reserved Allison's items. Nobidding.com has banned Allison from their site, stating she is an alledged bad trader! Allison told them everything had been RESOLVED! What world is she living in?! I emailed all of them, & most everyone returned an email. All that sent money had not received their items or a refund. Two or three had decided not to send her any money. Aren't they the LUCKY ONES! Nobidding said that most scammers, change their email address & don't answer emails. Allison is strange in this regard. That's the latest. I'm trying to decide when & what police to contact. I will mail in a postal fraud form as soon as I receive a copy of my cashed m.o. Kim

I wonder if she is planning to scam some more people?

Hi my name is Anita Pruett and I have been scammed by Allison Roberts.....I reserved on nobidding a hippie buddy and Allison forward me here address and I mailed the MO out to the O.P. Box she gave me and to this day I have not received the hippie buddy I reserved and only got an email from her that she was working with the PO on packages that she mailed out....And I have let her know that I have not received and she has ignored my emails.....

It looks like ALLISON was really busy. No wonder HE could not answer emails. I ordered a SAKURA Bear IN HAND. My bid was $120. Allsin sent a request for $136 I don't know why I did not question the shipping price, but I wanted this fast for my daughters burthday. So I paid the $136. After several lies nasty letters(from Christy) surgery, dead uncle , stay in the hospital with his I think if everyone workdfake pregnancy(ALLISON IS A MAN or should I say sleezebag?) I even got a email threatening to sue me for slander if I wasn't nice. Finally I posted bad feedback with my email address to see what response I would get. That was unbelieveable. This guy needs to be in jail. I hope everyone who has been scammed will file Mail Fraud charges eith the USPS, Fraud charges with the Consumer Affairs and stop payment on any credit card payment, even thru PAYPAL. Ibelive if we work together we can get this guy.  Vickie

Allison Roberts is a disgrace to the internet auction world. I've been in touch with tons of people who have been ripped off by this PERSON and it's funny we all get the same excuses! It's lost in the mail, delivered to the wrong person, was sent back and resent, blah, blah, blah. There is big trouble brewing for this lying, dishonest person who has taken so much money from so many people. The next person after her is going to be Paypal as all of us that have paid by Paypal have cancelled payment. She's already gotten the money so Paypal will go after her BIG, she owes them alot of money now. I feel bad for those of you who paid by money order or check and I truly hope that everyone gets their money back. I for one am on the band wagon with all the others that didn't receive what they purchased. I have feedback over 100 on eBay, all positive, I've purchased on Yahoo, Up4sale, Beanie Nation and No Bidding. I have all positive feedback for buying and selling. Allison should be made accountable for his/her actions! Your should be ashamed of yourself and STOP LYING TO EVERYONE!!!! Kim O'Lague

My response to this is if they feel they are owed they need to contact my Attorney he is handling this.His name is Ryan Dyson his phone number is 1-919-844-6999 and I am not a man. I am going to seek advise on your posting without proof that anyone has been defrauded.As well if they will send a letter and proof the matter will be handled.You have had several people make very false statements.If they want this resolved thats the fasted way I can suggest.

I sent my money for Sakura and I know that she got it as she told me that she did. I still have not received my Sakura. I sent the requested documentation to prove  that I did pay for the bear. I received the return receipt today do I know she got that. NOW I want my bear or my money refunded.. Carrie

I sent in my money and never got anything from her.

I sent $59.90 for beanies and never got anything from her.

HI! I received the "attached" email today. I have forwarded this email to everyone I have been in contact with about "Allison Roberts". Could you please forward this information to any people that have contacted you about "Allison"? Thanks!  Kim

Hi again, I'm back from work and at it again. Yahoo Maps is a great site.If you enter an address, it will give you a map of that location.You then click on find nearby businesses. If you do this with the address "Allison's" attorney gave us, you will find there really is an attorneys office at this location. It is Layton, Dyson & Carraway, but the phone number is 919-782-1801.Why did we get a different number from "Allison'? And who is Michelle Clopet? What the heck is going on? I also found a new yahoo user today- aroberts99.  My FBI lady finally called me today. She didn't think they would be able to do anything because I was the only one with a complaint. If you would all call her, I think they will go after this person. Her name is Jean Wyatt, phone number is 804-261-1044. Please call her.I have also contacted Dateline about doing a story on internet frauds. They want a written letter explaining all of this. If anyone would like to be contacted by them and tell your story to the nation, please e-mail me your name, address and phone number. I will be typing this up this weekend when I'm off and getting it in the mail. Let me hear from you by then please.Thanks for your time Gloria

HELLO! I just filed a complaint form on Allison Roberts at www.ifccfbi.gov (Internet Fraud Complaint Center). There was an article in my newspaper today about the growing problem of Internet fraud. The Justice Dept. & FBI on Monday launched a Wide World Web site on which consumers & businesses can report suspected Internet Fraud. The center will provide law enforcement at all levels--federal, state, & local. A one-stop approach to identifying Internet Fraud schemes & referring them to the proper agency. Please post this message on your site. PLEASE REPORT INTERNET CRIME     Kim Larson

I've filed claims with the FTC, www.fraud.com and with the FBI's new website. I've already filled out all my paperwork to dispute the charge on my credit card, I recommend everyone who used Paypal do the same. I sent in photocopies of e-mails, my Paypal account payment to Allison/Freda and all her rude, story telling e-mails. We are going to get somewhere with this, there are so many of us involved now and the numbers keep growing. So far no one has gotten their money back or their product that they purchased. My auction closed 5 weeks ago, still nothing. But at least I'm getting my money back and it's up to Paypal to get their money from Allison. Everyone keep up the good work and we will bring this fraudulent seller down. None of us deserves this!!!!  Kim O'Lague

Please post this on aroberts66. Please do NOT call Jean Wyatt at the FBI. She is NOT handling an investigation on Allison. Please go to www.ifccfbi..gov and file a complaint. People are getting calls back from the FBI after filing their complaints and an investigation has begun. Allison Roberts WILL be stopped.  Thanks   Gloria

Bid multiple auctions that closed 3/29 & 3/30. Paid in 2 seperate money orders sent 4/8 & 4/18 that she cashed 4/24 & 5/1. Has yet to reply to aknowledge payments totaling $ 398.60 + $ 16.00 to get copies to prove I paid to file objection to bankruptcy notice I received 5/20 from her Lawyer. It seems highly unlikely that one seller could have SO many different buyers from SO many different states end up with MISDIRECTED packages. My feelings are that this was a scam from the beginning. There was even a comment that a buyer went to pick up the Sakura and ended up getting A GREAT DEAL on blue face Spangles after that auction had closed. I bid, won and paid for 1 Britannia Buddy, 1 Osito Buddy, 5 Wallace, 1 Halo II, 5 Blue face Spangle from the auction and negotiated an additional 10 more blue face Spangles ( Lucky Me ). I am a single mom and this was a expensive lesson to learn. Allison had GREAT Ratings when I bid and won, when I finally started catching on she had received 40+ BAD SELLER comments in under a month. This does not appear accidental. Please file Internet Fraud complaints at www.ifccfbi.gov and Mail fraud with your local post office. Kathleen F.

HERE'S THE LATEST ON ALLISON...

Allison Roberts has filed for BANKRUPTCY after scamming people out of thousands of dollars on the internet. I received a Bankruptcy letter from her attorney. There will be a meeting of the creditors June 9, 2000 at 9:30 A.M.
USBA Meeting Rm,
Room 443,
Century Station Bldg.
300 Fayetteville St., Raleigh, NC.
She has an attorney, Michael Ryan Dyson,
7501 Creedmoor Road, Suite 110
Raleigh, NC 27613.
If you have been scammed by Allison, you may send COPIES of cashed m.o.'s, etc. to
Clerk
U.S. Bankruptcy Court,
P.O. Box 1441,
Raleigh, N.C. 27602-1441.

It appears as though Allison is now keeping herself busy creating numerous new User ID's on Yahoo Auctions based on my name and several other names of people that have filed complaints against her on this list or on the Yahoo Auction feedback page for Aroberts66 the seller that did not fullfill THOUSANDS of DOLLARS worth of auctions to several bidders including myself.  She has since filed for bankruptcy and I have filed an objection to the bankruptcy based the scam that was created by this seller. I have also updated the www.ifccfbi.gov site for the fact that several of us are having these new, very similar appearing User ID's popping up all over Yahoo and who knows what other sites. Any who have had dealings with this Seller may want to do a Seller/User ID name search to see if they are having the same thing occur. Kathleen Farrell

I have just received your complaints from the National Whitecolor Crime Center. After reviewing your complaints i did some research and found out that Ms. Roberts has filled for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court of the Eastern District of North Carolina. Many of you may have already been in contact with the attorney that has been appointed as trustee. If you have not contacted the trustee you must file with him concerning your loss you incurred with this individual. He may be contacted at:

Gerald A. Jeutter, Jr.
Kilpatrick Stockton LLP
P.O. Box 300004
Raleigh, NC 27622

Unfortunately, we cannot pursue the matter any further at this point until the bankruptcy has run its course. Once this matter has been completed, the N.C. Attorney General's Office can meet with Ms. Roberst and discuss the complaints that have been filed against her. If you should have anyfurther questions, please feel free to contact me.

RALEIGH -- A Franklin County woman faces 23 criminal charges amid allegations she sold Beanie Babies on the Internet but never delivered the toys, police said.

Freda Horne Roberts, 36, of 519 Rick Boone Road in Franklin County, was charged Tuesday in Wake County with obtaining property by false pretenses, a felony, according to arrest warrants. After turning herself in, Roberts was released on an unsecured bond, meaning she didn't have to pay any money. She is seriously ill, according to a judge's note filed with court papers. Roberts is accused of stealing about $4,000 total.

I am the prosecutor assigned to Ms. Roberts's case, and I wanted to clear up a matter referred to in the previous posting. As of today (February 5, 2001), Ms. Roberts has not agreed to or otherwise said that she was going to plead guilty to the false pretense charges. Our office is currently in negotiations with her attorney about the charges that Ms. Roberts faces, but Ms. Roberts has not agreed to plead guilty or otherwise indicated that she is going to plead guilty as a part of any plea agreement. I have read the law enforcement reports that Detective Wood has put together, and I am going to try to make sure that everyone who is owed restitution gets paid back in as timely a manner as is possible. If you are watching this list and have not reported any losses you suffered in dealings with Ms. Roberts, please do so to Detective Wood of the Wake County Sheriff's Department, Raleigh, North Carolina, at the address listed above as soon as possible. To those of you who have already been in contact with our office or who otherwise have an interest in this case, I will report any developments in this case to this message board.
