Here is the information ebay sent to me about melita O'Dell after I inquired to them for information. I have ordered a copy of the check sent to her from my bank. thanks, Cherie Brown (think I must have a target on my head...scam this one, she's easy) This actually makes 3....The Olson's got me . The products were due by July 31. When I didn't receive them I emailed Melita O'Dell asking for a refund. All emails have gone unanswered. I feel that there is a problem here and am sending this as a complaint against Melita O'Dell at melitaodell@yahoo.com. I have received nothing from this auction. I paid her immediately. Please register this complaint. I do see she is no longer a registered user but there must be something I can do. I sent her $106.
