Complaint filed by: melissah@intercom.net

I was told to email you with a complaint against a bad trader. The lady that told me to email was also took by this person and I believe she email you. I brought $50.00 in fast food gift certificates from a Pam Miller/Amanda Merritt for $35.00 via paypal on the the site www.coupondirectory.com under the garage sale forum. The transaction was made on June 27, 2000 which is the day I paid her via paypal and she responded saying that they would be mailed out on the next day and as of today still no gift certificates and she doesn't answer email. I also requested payment for her via paypal to refund my money, with no respond. She is still using the email freebiesluvr@mycoupons.com for paypal but other than that I can't get anymore. Thanks for your time.  Melissa Hamilton

Hi, I ran across your website somehow, don't remember where I found the link, but anyway, I'm wondering if there's absolutely anything I can do about this bad trade. I met a lady on www.mycoupons.com who goes be freebiesluvr. I thought I had seen her on there for quite some time and figured she was safe. She posted that she had two color gameboys for sale and to make an offer. I offered $60 for both thinking they were used. My older son's birthday is coming up at the end of July and this is what he is wanting. I was going to put the other one up for my 2 year old so he would have one when he got a little bigger. Anyway, she emailed me back asking for $100 for both. I offered $90 and she pay shipping for both. She agreed and wanted me to pay her through paypal. I can send you copies of all the emails we sent back and forth. She said she was over seas and didn't have a way to cash a check or money order. I guess that should have been my red flag, but was anxious about the good deal for my sons. She said her husband is a missionary and they are in Africa. Well, when I went to "paypal" her, I got the name "Amanda Merritt". She had been using her mycoupons email account to send to me which is freebiesluvr@mycoupons.com The name on the emails was "Pamela Miller" That really rang a bad bell, but again, I thought of my sons and how this was such a good deal. Dumb I know. When I asked her about this, she said she didn't own her own paypal account and used one that belonged to a friend of hers at work. None of this sounds right. Then after the deed was done, I got an email from another mycoupons member warning me not to trade with "Pamela". Now I'm out $90 and still don't have a gameboy for my son for his birthday. This is really gonna hurt him if he doesn't get the one thing he asked for. I don't have the money to just go out and buy another one yet. I'm hoping I can just skimp on his party a little to be able to afford one. This person needs to be stopped. From what I understand, I'm not the only one who she's jilted. Is there anything I can do to be reimbursed since I have no idea where she really is or who she really is for that matter? Anything you can tell me would be greatly appreciated. It's been almost two weeks since I've heard from her. I emailed her Sunday night, no response. I will be emailing her again tonight. No threats yet, just inquiries. Thanks Renee Griswell
