Complaint filed by: RMOREN1@aol.com

I am writing to report that trader (CC1941) Caroll Colway, Allen St., Windsor, Ct. 06095 had agreed to make a trade with me on 9-14-98. I was to send her Mint Ears, Floppity, Hippity and Hoppity and she was to send me a Mint Erin. She received the bunnies. I never received Erin. She agreed and told me she had sent a second Erin, but never received him either. She is now ignoring or deleting my email messages. She had 8 or so good referrals or I would have never made the decision to trade with her in the first place.  Evidentally, she was a good trader but decided it would be more profitable for her to start cheating to get the beanies she wants. I have been in touch with another person who was also scammed by her and she will be reporting her loss with you soon too.

Had a trade transaction agreed upon with Caroll starting 9/5/98 from TY attics/pp/plush board. After not hearing from her, nor yet receiving my item by 9/17, I emailed her to find out what was the hold up and if she had gotten my items. No response. 9/2O "Oh yeah" she says. "I thought I emailed you last week about them. Did you like my trade item?" I point out to her that my email was meant to point out that I hadn't received yet. I asked if she sent priority vs. snail mail. She says snail mail (I'm thinking why didn't she reciprocate via priority?) So she says she'll check with the PO. 9/22 she says I should have it by now. I email her a "status check". No response. 9/28 she says I should have it by now...the PO says they'll check their "back room". 9/29 she takes fault for not shipping "special" and offers me a return or duplicate item. I ask for the duplicate and she says I should get it by Mon. 10/5. No word from her since. She does not initiate contact. I'm the one that's constantly after her. At first I felt like I was badgering her. Have sought advice about what defines "scammer". I finally contacted ALL of her references whom she passed over to me, only to find that they were contacted a few days before by another aol member who is apparently having problems with Caroll Colway.  Many of her references will now not reference for her. I am waiting to see if anyone else comes forward. In the meantime, people should be wary of CC1941. All I really want from Caroll is 1)the item I was promised in trade or 2)return of my trade items.


Update: October 24, 1998

My emails to her still go unread and the 2 emails I sent her "niece" Marie (Ollie2020) also remain unread. Last I hard form Nancy (RMORE N 1), her emails haven't been read as well. After hearing from you, I had SOME glimmer of hope, thinking this gal was probably expecting to hear from her Aunt's traders SOON.

Update: November 8, 1998

Nothing received to date. She/they have still not read my last emails since 10/30. And NO details were ever frowarded about Caroll's condition AT ALL.

Hello

I am replying to this email for my aunt who is presently in the hospital. she had an accident a few weeks ago and is convellesing quite well. I will discuss this problem with my aunt as soon as possible. I am sure she would not intentionally cheat anyone. I will be visiting my aunt next week (I logged into her email from my own home which is several hundred miles away) and will work to resolve this.

You can contact be at my email address of Ollie2020@aol.com. Thank you for the opportunity to clear my aunt's name.       Marie W
