I paid Karen Keaton Thopmson $72.00 for a "Nipponia" beanie baby bear I won on a TyTrade auction on 10-30-2000. This was a presale and she had all positive feedback on that date. I got worried and started back checking on her about a month later and found all feedbacks subsequent to 11-2-2000 were negative. She has not responded to any of my e-mail messages and she cashed my PayPal e-check the day after I sent it. Any one having had a bad trade with Karen should please contact Vickey Fleetwood .. e-mail vickeyf@prodigy.net as she has on ongoing fraud case with the police in Dierks, Ark. She would appreciate any information you may provide about Karen Keaton Thompson and her dealings in auction trades.

traders_name: Karen Thompson Comments: I also was ripped off by this party. I paid $61.00 through Paypal for a beanie & never got it. I did pursue the matter through PayPal and have been told I'll get my $$ back. Contact me if you need any help regarding this person. I'll be glad to do what I can

On October 30th, I purchased Nipponia from Karen for a Xmas present for my grand daughter on TY Trade. I never received Nipponia. I contacted TY Trade, but they would not help or even offer support of any kind. I lost $71.00 by money order. After numerous telephone calls & unanswered e-mails I knew I had been ripped off. I filled out a Postal Fraud report. We have to put a stop to Karen, before she steals more money from honest people. Her address is:
