Will MN HQ be able to do anything?

[freshstart]

Thread Here

Although its not a nice thought I can only deduce from no communication that I have been ripped off for my wedding bits that I sold in good faith at a much reduced price for a mumsnetter.

I also out of the goodness of my stupid heart sent her the necklace I wore on my day for her soemthing borrowed.

I cant "believe" this is intentional as she was so grateful in the beginning.

But countless and emails and threads on here have turned nothing up

Will MN be able to do anything?

Hiya mate, have sent msn. You contacted MN HQ's like recommended?

freshstart, why didn't she just return the things though?

I have been meaning to check on SC as I remember reading a terrifying thread about some gang warfare that her family were involved in. Was that resolved/ have we heard from her since?

are you joking Blu?

She did post again after that I think

Was it that a dog was stolen?

Message withdrawn

No. Her family's dog was kidnapped and killed, and her DH and other relatives went off to wreak revenge, and she was alone in the house and the dog-killing family knew where she was, she was absolutely terrified, and her DH was missing for hours....

was the dog killed? i thought it had been stolen

DH was missing for hours then returned later

Cant remember what happened next

If someone had gone out of their way and been so generous to me, i would have quite gladly begged, and borrowed to get their money to them, whatever my own cicumstances. At the very least I would have returned the items with an apology.

The fact that no explanation has been offered is disgusting.

But surely she could still have found 2 minutes to email you and explain ???

She has posted since then hasn't she ?

Blu I missed that totally.

She started a thread at the start of Jan this eyar, askinig about childminders, but then never came back to it.

Im trying to find the dog thread but cant find it.

Think it was before Christmas and yes, she has posted since then

Hope she is ok

Haven't MN HQ been back in touch yet? Or does this mean that Justine is in labour?

SC was never a daily poster, so I doubt that she would see a thread like this. And in light of that, this seems to be getting to a public lynching where SC isn't abLe to say anything for herself. I'm sorry that you're out of pocket, but i don't think that this thread will help.

Justine is too busy on the cartoon muslims thread.

Ladymuck, that was a very ...er...ladymuck sort of post!

ladymuck

what else do you suggest i do?

this has gone on for 5 months and no response for threads asking SC to contact me and zero response to emails from her address.

Yes have had contact from MN HQ confirming Springchicken is a member of MN and they will email her directing her to this thread.

I have already done this each time I start a new thread trying to find her.

Justine is about, but I think MN are trying to keep the muslim cartoon thread under control atm.

FS Becca--you did such a nice thing, don't let this experience taint your view of people or MNers. I hope that this can get sorted out and that you will get your necklace and the 70 pounds back. If not, you have given these things with a good heart and if you do believe in Karma, you have such good stuff coming your way.

Sorry .

FS

Would it work if we gave our home addresses and phone numbers to MNTowers so they would have them on record if others had this problem???

LM - Its not a pleasant experience for me either this - I cant help but think there must be an explanation but short of just accepting I have been ripped off I thought Id give it one last go on here seeing if anyone knew anything/knew her

Sunchowder - I will take comfort in the karma aspect and wait for my good fortune in other ways :D

Just seen this freshstart - doesn't look good does it? although I'm sure there could be a reasonable explaination for this. I'm presuming you have her home address? If so, write a nice, polite letter asking her to either send the money or, if she no longer wants them, return the items

At the risk of another Ladymuck type post:-

Have you tried 192.com in order to get a phone number? You presumably have her name and address which will be more than most of us have. Other than trying a naming and shaming exercise I'm not sure what this achieves?

Yes, suppose I will have to find her number and ring

"hello, its me that sent you my wedding attire and you have ignored all my attempts to contact you - could i have my money back"

gulp

that is a conversation im looking forward to!!!

I started this asking if its worth speaking to HQ about it - to see if anyone else has had this sort of problem and what was the outcome.

Also, as SC is such a long established member of mumsnet I thought someone might know her and be able to say "SC's computer blew up" "SC has left the country" "SC has fallen on hard times and says sorry" etc etc

Basically clutching at straws for some info that a fellow 'netter hasnt robbed me of my stuff.

I hope she is OK, the kidnapped/killed dog thing sounds grim.

Also ladymuck - this thread achieves about as much as any thread on mumsnet.

Help - my partner has left. Having a thread on mumsnet doesnt actually achieve much apart from somewhere to vent, get information and support which is what I thought I could get here.

OR would it be better for me to open a little stall and everyone can take my wares and I will be very polite about it and not dream of having something to say in return?
