Complaint filed by: jazjer@earthlink.net (Michiko Robinson)

I have another situation where a lady is selling beanies at pretty good prices, but doesn't add up. I paid her for 50% of the items I purchased, $200.00 up front using my credit card, but I will dispute this too. I paypaled her on July 18th and she claims she mailed it out on Friday July 20th, and she says now she used media mail and it should get to me in 2 weeks. Was talking with a friend of mine and it does take longer, but should be no longer than about 4-5 days since we are neighboring states.  Anyways, I found out when contacting smart collecting, she was now banned and I will be contacting my credit card company, and the strange thing is that this person was unverified, but did get verified on paypal now, which means they have to have your address and also your bank info. So she has given paypal this, which means they can atleast recover their money when I dispute my end of this deal on my credit card. So that works out for them. Her name is Lindsey Kalhoun and her email is LindseyDolls@hotmail.com. Pls just give her a formal email when you have to time. I just want to pressure her to get her act together because she might have done this to someone else. Thanks M

I know you three must get weary of the amount of fraudulent claims coming in - I can imagine it would be very discouraging! Unfortunately, after many years of trading/buying/selling on the Internet I believe I have been taken for the first time :( I posted an ad on Smart Collecting looking to purchase HTF Issy beanies and this person responded - she had some feedback though it now appears as if she fabricated it herself. I agreed to send a 50% deposit (233.00) via Paypal. That was over a week ago - after her initial correspondence saying she had mailed - she has ignored my emails asking for the delivery confirmation number and of course no package has arrived - I guess that old saying about 'if it sounds too good to be true it probably is' holds some water! I have initiated a buyer complaint through Paypal and posted queries on CN, KnK, SC with 2 responses. One lady had sent her an e-check which I hope she will be able to stop payment on. Here is this person's pertinent information:
Name: Lindsey Kalhoun
Email: lindseydolls@hotmail.com
Address: 10101 Broken Arrow Lane
Paradise Valley, Arizona 85253

I am at my wit's end about where to go from here and look forward to hearing from you!   Kind regards,   Michelle Spencer (chelrene)

Greetings!  The package was mailed on Tuesday last week( to  jazjer@earthlink.net (Michiko Robinson). I have been in touch, but never got a responce about what he wants me to do...I offered a refund or if he wanted I could put a "tracer" on the package,  and it would tell me what happened. Or I could file for the insurance, but I think it has to be 30 days to be declaired lost

Hers (chelrene@ceva.net (Michelle) I am refunding, but she has already put a hold on the transaction at paypal, so I am waiting for them to straighten things out. If I sent her the money now, I'd be out twice what was lost!  Lindsey

P.S. despite what people have said, the only address I used is my address, and no money orders have ever been mailed here! I only use paypal! ^.^

although the deal was recently made, I am now concerned that Lindsey will not follow through with her end of the deal.................. We have a copy of the Purolator delivery slip where the money was sent to her mother's address in Baltimore, Maryland - obviously someone had to sign for as well as a copy of the money order that Lindsey would have had to have signed................... My wife is in the midst of possibly creating another deal... as she had called our home to confirm the transaction. We did not 'hit *69' to get the number, however she may have had it blocked. I am not sure if the phone company will have a record of the number... If any of this help, please let us know. We will forward the emails as well, if you are interested. Thanks   Rob   Money was sent to:

I sent her $722.

I was given your name & e-mail address in reference to non receipt of beanies. I have just filed a complaint with PayPal. This is a brief outline of what transpired.

Seller maintained excellent communication until I sent my funds. I sent over 5 e-mail with no response. I then posted an e-mail on Smart Collecting posting board, where I saw her posting, and received responses from 5 others had sent her $$ with no response to date. I did receive 1 e-mail from her last Thursday, 7/26/2001, stating that she mailed my beanie package on Monday 7/23/2001, and I have not received anything as of today's date 7/30/2001. What ever you can do would be most appreciated. Thank you in advance for your assistance. Sincerely,  Vanessa G. Wilson

ANYONE WHO HAS HAD A TRANSACTION WITH ME, THIS PAST MONTH, AND HAVE NOT RECEIVED THEIR ITEMS, PLEASE EMAIL ME DIRECTLY, SO WE CAN DISCUSS THIS LIKE ADULTS! I HAVE BEEN HAVING TROUBLE WITH MY COMPUTER, AND SOME OF MY FILES HAVE BEEN LOST, RESULTING IN ME THINKING ITEMS WERE MAILED, AND THEY MIGHT NOT HAVE BEEN! LINDSEYDOLLS@HOTMAIL.COM

It was suggested that I email you about not receiving my merchandise from Lindsey Kalhoun, I sent her via paypal $165.00 she has told me twice that the merchandise was sent priority mail, it has been two weeks and no package and no response to my emails since that Thursday, she told me the package was sent last Tuesday, please let me know what I should do, Thanks, Terry

I paid with paypal on 7/17 and never received anything, even though she said she mailed them on 7/20.  Kris Siolka

Unfortuantly, if the want their money back, since someone reported me to paypal, after 1 year and a half of buisness with them, paypal has suspended  my accout. I recommend that they request a investigation through paypal to  get their money back, and when paypal contacts me, I will explain the  situation to them, and they can have their refunds. I guess just have each contact me, some of them haven't even been mailed yet. my email is:

LINDSEYDOLLS@hotmail.com   and my mailing info is:

Lindsey Kalhoun

Paradise Valley, AZ  85253

We have received several emails from people who have bought from Lindsey and have not received their beanies, They said to contact you for help. On July 22 we bought a Issy Dublin from Lindsey for $53.25 and paid thru PayPal. As of this day we have not received anything. I have emailed her several times and she said that it was sent on Tuesday of last week, as she is in Arizona and we are in California we should have received it by now.  I have emailed PayPal and made a complaint with them, I hope you can help us and all the other people that have sent her money.  RAY & TERRI CUNNINGHAM

Thank you for any help that you can give us. Its a shame that there are so many dishonest people out there.  HAVE A NICE DAy

I have spokne with someone at paypal, and until further notice my accout is restricted. I am not allowed to send anyone money, but am allowed to  receive. Unfortuanatly, that means I can't send anyones money back, just  file through paypal. Lindsey K.

I just wanted to thank you for helping us receive a refund from Lindsey Kalhoun. It is nice to know that there is a place to go for help . I read the traderslist almost everyday and am amazed at all the people that are being cheated out of their money,  Keep up the good work and I hope that I will not have to contact you  again, but if I do I know that you are there to help us. Thanks again,   Ray & Terri Cunningham

Was refunded the money from paypal today. I can't believe this person was just taking money with no thought to send out anything. I believe you have posted him on the bad trader board? Thanks for you help, again. M.

I can't believe it!! PayPal has already credited my account, I also received an e-mail from Lindsey. Good luck to everyone else in getting your $$ back.  Please stress to everyone that they must fill out the PayPal complaint form!!   Thanks for all your help!!  You are the BEST!!   Vanessa Wilson

I can hardly believe it myself but my refund of 233.00 arrived today also - I'm keeping my fingers crossed for the ones who sent money orders and thanking the lucky stars I used Paypal and had the help of Trudy!    Warm regards to all,

I have almost sent EVERYONE a refund now through paypal.   Lindsey

Paypal transaction, but beanies not delivered as told. NO response to recent emails!!BEWARE!!

I just saw your post on traderlist.com. i have also been scammed by this woman. what actions do i need to take. she will not answer emails.  very upset   thanks

As soon as I get the $$ together and get a money order it will be on its way. to h-hill@home.com. As for the address in baltomore it is my mothers address, she moved in about a month ago. I'm not sure about whoever lived there last or anything, but it sure wasn't me! I've never lived there, just visited my mom! Lindsey

P.S. the number I called h-hill@home.com from was really my mothers number, and its  (410)922-4659 but if anyone needs to reach me, please do it via email since it is my mothers #.

I ordered some beanies. She told me two different shipping dates. I still haven't received them. She won't return any of my emails from the last four days. I told her I would take action by today if no response. I did not get a response so I filed a complaint with Paypal today. I checked my paypal account and found a pending credit from Lindsey Dolls but not for my entire payment. I will be happy if I get anything back considering that most people aren't so lucky. Thank you for listening and BEWARE!!!!!

My account shows refund pending as of 8-03-01.  Will keep you posted. Thanks, Patty

Do you have Lindsey Dolls mailing address? I was recently taken by her and I would like to get my money back. I am going to notify the Police in her state that is why I need her address. PLMK thanks Mary

I was told that I could write to you and that you would be able to answer my question. I sent $325.00 to Lindsey Calhoun by PayPal on July 26, 2001. When my order of Beanie Babies did not arrive, I began emailing her. After several letters to her (ranging from nice to vicious), I finally received a reply from her telling me that if I wanted my money back I would have to file a complaint with PayPal. I did this over the weekend but have heard nothing from PayPal. Do you think that I will get my money back? It will be very unfair if I don't because I never received the Beanies that I ordered from  Lindsey.  Thank you for your time.    Mr. Glen A. Wright

PAYPAL JUST SENT ME AN EMAIL SAYING THAT THEY RECOVERED THE FULL AMOUNT FOR ME. I AM SO HAPPY! THANKS MARY

I just wanted to tell you thanks for your help, my money was put back into my paypal account this afternoon, Take care, Terry

Said my package was mailed on 8-31-01 but i still have not recieved it. was orginally to be maile 8-25-01. She no longer responds to my emails. I have tryed to be nice about this whole thing. but now i just want my money back. I paid her $104.00 through pay pal on 7-23-01. Guess I'm just to trusting. Some part of me is still hopeing that a package will arrive. Live and Learn I guess.

Received the credit from paypal from Lindsey. thanks   Kris

I ordered 14 beanies totalling $700. She was very receptive until she got my money from Paypal. I emailed her for a shipping #. No answer. I was alerted by Paypal, emailed her again telling her she was going to break my daughters heart. She told me to get a refund from Paypal. After numerous emails from others I had to admit she was a fraud. I emailed her, telling her my daughters were crying...she sent me an email and I quote "It's not like you're not getting your money back....sheesh". Paypal has my account pending but not for the full amount...Makes me very nervous about buying on internet again

I was given you name to write to from a fellow trader, that has had a previous problem with the person I have had a problem with.Apparently this person has changed names and email addresses, but is still using the same mailing address in Maryland.   I purchased an NF Jade Teddy from my-fast-mr2@home.com on BBOT the Ty trading page. The money order I sent was mailed to this address:

Chris Toolan
3903 Nemo Road
Randallstown, MD   21133

I sent the money order 8/31/01. This person wrote and said they delay was due to the Sept. 11 incident. I have not heard back since 9-18. I have written everyday stating the bear has not arrived, but no response. Any help or any place I can turn to try to get my money. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.  PLEASE advice me as to what to do. Thanks in advance for your help. Also, he is telling me to post about this possibly being a bad trader, but where do I do this?   Bobbie Campbell
