It has come to my attention that someone I’ve never heard of or dealt with has left a bad review full of lies for us. I’ve kept my mouth shut for months about an issue because I don’t like stirring up trouble from my business page. Let me be clear: in December I paid $500 via Cashapp for items for my business. I had bought from this person in the past so felt safe sending the payment to hold the items. I only wanted them held for 2 days, but I had been trying to get a definite price & list of items included for several months. Every time I asked for a complete list of what was included for $500, this person put me off telling me they would send the list when they had time. The items included changed several times as she sold some to other people & was advertising the items in several places. Once I finally got a complete inventory of what was included, I told her I would come in 2 days to pick everythingup. She asked me to go ahead & pay her for her to hold them for 2 days so I sent the money. She said she was going to be coming to my area in a couple of days & could bring them to me so I didn’t have to make a 2 hour trip one way. I told her to just let me know because I didn’t mind making the drive even though I am disabled & riding far distances causes me quite a bit of pain. The night before we were to go pick up she messaged telling me she was sick so we couldn’t come. From that point on, every single time we tried to set up a time to pick our stuff up she came up with an excuse. I finally got her to agree to a date at the beginning of January & told her it absolutely had to be that weekend because we had broken down our setups in order to incorporate the items I had paid for. At the last minute she once again came up with an excuse for us to not pick up. The following weekend she said she wasn’t going to let us get the items we had paid for over a month before. She refused to refund my money & stated that if I insisted on trying to pick the items up she would dragged them to the curb so they would either be stolen or broken by the time we arrived & said that it wouldn’t be her problem. I called the chief deputy of our county sheriff’s department to see what my options were. He specifically told me that he would send a deputy to my house right then to take a report & they would get a warrant and go pick her up. He didn’t want me to even try to work things out with her…he wanted to arrest her. I chose to give her the option of either refunding my money via Cashapp right then, allowing us to come the following day with police es**rt to pick the items up, or I would file the report. She made all kinds of threats, called law enforcement in her town to lie about what was going on, & generally did everything she could to keep my money & the items. I called her local police department & told them exactly what happened, gave them the name of our chief deputy, offered them copies of all our messages breaking down what had happened. Once I was through they told me that if I filed the report they would cooperate with our county when they came to arrest her because what she told them was NOT what the evidence showed had happened. They also said they would es**rt me to her house to pick my items up & that if anything was missing or broken they would document it & she would be held responsible because of the threats she made in writing to me. After all of this, I advised her to call her police department back to verify that they actually told me all of that. Once she did, she suddenly decided she would refund my money, but she placed several “conditions” on the refund. I was not to tell anyone about what happened. I was not to contact her again. There were several others that were silly & just about her trying to feel as though she was in charge of the situation. At that point she threatened again to make sure nobody did business with me ever again. I could have at any time made what happened public & posted our messages as proof, but I was just ready to let it go & forget I’d ever met her. A few weeks later, I got an email from a supplier with false accusations & half truths. Since I knew for a fact she bought from them too, I replied letting them know what happened & proof of her threats. In the end, everything was resolved & there are no issues between us because they’re now aware that it was a case of pettiness on her part. At that point I blocked her from this page because she had already shown that she couldn’t just let it go even though she was in the wrong. I kept quiet even though I knew she was telling lies to people. Most of them messaged me to let me know what she was doing & I offered them proof of what actually happened. At no point have I lost any customers over this…all of my regulars still buy from us & check in regularly since we haven’t updated this page lately. Now I find out that she has gotten people that I have NEVER heard of or done business with to leave fake negative reviews about us. I guess since she’s blocked she’s had to resort to getting others to lie for her & try to “ruin” my business like she threatened.
If it keeps on & the false reviews are not corrected, I will be posting the messages & proof on this page for everyone to see. I could have been petty & had her arrested like I was advised to do, but I didn’t. I could have spread the truth about the incident to everyone to let them know not to do business with her. I didn’t…I chose the high road even after I was cheated, lied to, lost over a month worth of sales because of her not allowing us to pick up the items, threatened, & lied about. Anyone who knows me, knows it took a lot of effort for me not to out her. I felt sorry for her because of the sob stories she had fed me in the past so even though she wronged me I chose not to cause her any trouble. Unfortunately, that has only emboldened her to push lies farther & to relentlessly falsify events in order to get revenge because I wouldn’t just let her keep my $500 along with the items I paid for. So, it all ends now. Either corrections will be made by the people who lied in the review or I will post proof for everyone to see along with checking my legal options on libel/slander. I don’t think I’d be willing to be sued for lies just to help a friend get revenge for something they caused in the first place. You know who you are…if you want to message me, I’d be glad to send you the messages she sent me with the threats & refusal to either refund me or allow me to pick up the items I paid for.
