I'm still unsure of what REALLY went on myself.. I hope nobody minds me telling the story!
All I know is she was persistant about paying via Palpay instead of cash, but wanted to meet in person. The paypal account paid from was from a totally different name and not to mention-- different country! So some of us contacted this paypal email to confirm it was _____ paying.
Thats when the alarms went off and the paypal user tells us she suspects shes been scammed.
The paypal account user was paying us, the girls with the goods, under the impression that she was making payments to our emails for wholesale items(which didn't exist since it's a scam) that she was buying from Shelly Brown(is it confirmed that she doesn't exist and is really DTP?). She opened disputes with each of us that she paid on paypal.
So with things shipped out already, and exchange of clothing and goods, and the paypal dispute, some of us were/are left with nothing. But I think thats underway, and somethings being settled with getting the money back.
