Will MN HQ be able to do anything?

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?

Well in that case I sincerely hope that you don't find that she has suffered from some catastrophe or other, as she'll really enjoy reading this thread.

I would suggest that you make the call sooner rather than later. It may be the quickest way of sorting this out.

I am sorry that you've been left out of pocket, given your act of generosity.

Dinosaur · 06/02/2006 17:46

Well that's very magnanimous of you...

Sorry I shouldn't pile in here, it's freshstart's thread, but it does seem as if SC has had ample opportunity to contact her and explain.

are you implying i should feel guilty if god forbid something has happened?

fucking ridiculous

the dog post was just before christmas so that leaves another 4.5 months where she blatantly ignored me before any talk of gangland warfare came into it.

I didnt much enjoy seeing her get on with all her regular mumsnet postings about everything else whilst ignoring my threads and emails. Didnt seem to bother her then.

alright FS calm down. I didn't know she posted subsequently. I was not "implying" anything. I was just saying that what Blu mentioned sounded grim. Which it did.
I hope you sort it out soon.

tamum · 06/02/2006 17:51

Don't feel uncomfortable freshstart. You've been kind and patient, and there is no conceivable excuse for not having sent everything back as a bare minimum.

RTKangaMummy · 06/02/2006 17:51

FS you have been a kind and lovely Mumsnetter IMHO and haven't done anything apart from being a generous person

nutcracker · 06/02/2006 17:51

I think you were more than within your rights to post this thread Freshstart.

oh OK.
I'll get my coat (for the 2nd time today)...

HellyBelly · 06/02/2006 17:52

Freshstart - don't you worry about what one or 2 people on here think. You've been more than generous and as you say, she ignored you when she was still posting.

IF, god forbid, something has happened, it's certainly not your fault it has! (hope it hasn't of course!)

You came here for advice on whether or not we thought MN HQ's could help and also to see if maybe someone was her friend and could give an update.

YOU'VE DONE NOTHING WRONG!!!!

spacecadet · 06/02/2006 17:54

freshstart-im so sorry this has happened to you im , i think in view of the amount of time it doesnt look good, however, i too always tend to think there is a reasonable explanation, in this case though i cant see one, i do hope im wrong though, if you want to check an address is genuine, you can type it into google earth.

tamum · 06/02/2006 17:55

katierocket please don't go....

nutcracker · 06/02/2006 17:56

She has posted since the dog thing though hasn't she ???

IN which case she must be ok.

Im trying to pluck up the courage to ring the company that is listed in her email signature

LOL tamum

ladymuck · 06/02/2006 17:57

Dinosaur, I'm just inclined to be cautious as SC has posted that she has sent 2 POs, so presumably she feels that she has paid twice for the items. There is obviously still a dispute to be sorted, but I just feel uncomfortable that this thread can only be one party's story as SC posts far less regularly. I do feel sorry for pr, but as a non-daily user myself I find that I would tend to miss messages that are sent to me in this manner.

If it helps, I would have posted on the same lines if SC started a thread stating that pr had ripped her off by receiving payment twice and she was still being hounded for more. It is a dispute between the 2 of them, and would be better dealt with off thread IMO.

Freckle · 06/02/2006 17:58

I don't think there is any question about the address being correct. After all, the stuff that FS sent arrived OK. The problem seems to revolve around whether SC has ever sent any payment. She has stated that she has sent a PO on two occasions. Neither has arrived - so does that mean that SC has the wrong address for FS? If so, why hasn't she queried it instead of just disappearing?

I have to say that it is looking more and more as though FS won't receive any payment. Now, of course, there could be a number of reasons why no payment has been made, but SC has not attempted to disclose any of them.

katierocket · 06/02/2006 17:58

It is just really weird though isn't it because reading that original thread fs, she sounds genuinely apologetic. If you were a rip off merchant woulnd't you just not bother with niceities

FS has done nothing wrong in starting this thread, she was hoping that maybe it would answer her question as to why this particular mnetter has not been a touch, i would have done the same thing if i had given/lent something of sentimental value to someone.

tamum · 06/02/2006 17:59

It has happened to someone else too though ladymuck- it seems astonishing bad luck to have 3 postal orders go missing.

(katierocket- phew )

Freckle · 06/02/2006 18:00

But, Ladymuck, FS has started more than one thread about this in the hopes that SC would notice it and has emailed her directly. What possible excuse could there be for ignoring direct emails - when SC's computer is clearly working properly as she has posted on other threads?

northerner · 06/02/2006 18:00

Freshstart - definatley call the number on her email. It's ovbiously where she works. You haven't received your money. They can trace that teh PO has not been cashed, therefore the onus is on her to sort it out.

I'd be on that phone like a shot!
