Onselling on Facebook when your item has just been listed?

[connydeylen]

Someone alerted me to the fact that someone was selling our items on facebook and their website for twice the price. I took a look and they were using our photos and stories without asking our permission (keeping the handmade bit  but deleting connydeylen). And then I realized they were listing them as soon as we started an auction. They waited  and as soon as one of their customers showed interest they placed a bid. This person claims to be a Physchic and her customer base is basically people who have recently lost a loved one. I am absolutely seething and have blocked them as bidders. But are there otherways to put this con artist out of action?

cats...the Facebook seller's name was in one of colic's posts.

You just need to add 'gifts' to it. (or 'readings' - there's two pages).

it being Lantia, for those that don't want to scan back a few pages. 😛

By the by, those celtic earrings she's advertisng are definitely not sterling silver.

Oh, my mistake.

I don't read all of Colics posts when he is ranting

So why are you intent on rehashing everything that has been said over and over already?

No one got stuck on making money, what was said was......................oh you said you have read the thread so you would no what was said.

I do not apologise for posting my views on the OPs situation.

I realise that you think the discussion is over, I do not, notwithstanding I am now checking out the facebook page and the linked website.

If that does not work for you .... too bad.  Indeed I hope you are deeply irritated by it

[robinsonmarineparts]

Not at all, i'm having fun.

[thecatspjs]

doh ...

me too

Mmmm having a look on the page there is a bit of puffery re one the fairies "powers"

This lovely is wanting a kind home and a loving person to care for she is a magical fairy

They seem to be generally careful about there wording re other items - jewellery, crystal and gem power, though there are a few slip ups and claims that they could not possibly prove if tested.

Not as bad as it might be, but I sure as heck reckon that their current direction is misguided and unethical.

To promote a feather piece they are hocking -  "Always remember when you see a feather those souls close to you are near"

What a crock ...

[robinsonmarineparts]

Your've done good.

Now what's the verdict, scammer or conman or both?

[thecatspjs]

Both.

The self proclaimed pyschic totes her wares to one facebooker:

"Kris here are the pendants that would be good for a child who is being annoyed by energies, good or bad. All these have spell binds but I can customise one to your little girl. This will protect her and also stop nightmares or spirit bothering her to much."

I sure as heck wouldn't want my customised wares on-sold by this charleton either.

Ok, but some folk do believe in that sort of thing and it brings then peace, some folk have lost all hope and these things or words help with there healing.

I don't, just saying.
