You may be able to find more info on the AOL cloth diaper boards, I'm not sure, but I know that she started a while ago with the scams. She also scammed some people during the last hurricane that came through Beaumont!

Love the blog!

Oh, yuck! Thank you for telling me, I've never hit the AOL CD communities. I do have AOL - let me know if there is a link to those board plz?

Lisa Johnston said...

I'm sure someone on MM will know the link. I've never been around the AOL CD boards either....

You MAY need to register at misfits to see that forum.....http://www.misfitmoms.com/forum/register.php?referrerid=320

There is a TON of info there about her....A TON. As far as I know everyone got their money back via paypal. But she was REALLY sneaky about this scam. She REFUNDED people with her MOTHERS credit card and then waited a while and then filed a chargeback on the credit card.....
Glad I could supply the first red alert scammer....she was a doosey!

I don't know if the cloth diapering board on AOL exists anymore. I've not tried to go in forever but the last time I went that way it wasn't there and that was months ago. It looked like it had been lumped in with another and the ad board if that is any help.
