Non-Payment: What to Do When a Cheffer Refuses to Answer?

Click For Summary
A seller on a forum for chefs reported a non-payment issue with a prominent member who received the item but has not responded to multiple messages. The seller expressed frustration, considering naming the individual to gain attention. Other users weighed in, noting that most members are generally reliable and suggesting giving the non-paying member one last chance to respond. There were concerns about potential email issues that might be causing the lack of communication. The situation escalated when it was revealed that this non-payment might be part of a larger pattern of scams involving multiple users. Pampered Chef's legal department was mentioned as being involved, and moderators were alerted. One user ultimately resolved their payment issue after initially being unresponsive, leading to discussions about accountability and the emotional challenges some members face. The thread highlighted the need for caution in online transactions and the complexities of interpersonal dynamics within the community. Overall, it illustrated a mix of support, concern, and skepticism regarding member interactions and trustworthiness.

I had to go back and reveiw to remember the relevance of that date. Darby said:

"My 24 hr emergency bank rep, Josiah, says that each bank has a unique code stamp for their bank and branch. The number in question, and I am explaing to him where this number is and just sent him a scan of this check, he says should be preceeded by a seiers of numbers that start with 323. The same number sequince is above this again. The date stamp is listed below this but has a received stamp from the clerk on it dated 02/29/07.

The back of the check is upside down, because I put it on the scanner incorrectly, I guess."

the ones I got from my bank had a sample of different designs each check had a different one...don't remember if they had a check number on them or not.

Here's my guess...

1) Darby wrote out this check just for the purpose of scanning it in (covered up her bank info so we wouldn't realize it didn't match)
2) Used the back of an old check that had already been deposited (I know I can view a copy of my checks on my bank website after they have cleared)
3) Made up a letter by copying/scanning the shelter's logo and writing it herself
4) Forgot to make sure all the details matched so her story would be believable
 
I was going to buy a Cheffer shirt but I think I will hold off. The profits are supposed to go to RUFTH but how can I be sure?

Ok this is a weird coincidence....I have never really met or talked with anyone with the name Josiah before...I just turned to lifetime and they have a nora roberts movie Carolina Moon and they have a character with that name...sorry just had to share.

"24 hr emergency bank rep"--what on earth is this? I've got a great bank (our state employees credit union) and we get the best service I've ever gotten anywhere. I've had issues that they took care of...well, never mind. But the ONLY 24 hour emergency rep that they have is only going to deal with my lost/stolen debit/credit card. Everything else waits until Monday morning at 9AM!

How stupid does she think we are?

I thought so but i got all confused. Well leave K-town go towards Sembach about 35 minutes, pass it then weitersweiler (teeny teeny Village Not a base) will be on your left. Worms is 25 minutes from there a major city.

:( I miss Germany. i lived there 10 years while enlisted myself

It is sounding more probable by the second... and don't forget her DH is a graphic designer who could easily make documents seem right...

True Conspiracy Theory!!
 
Sorry NOT DONE YET...do NOT buyanything from her please.....I know there are some on here that have purchased items from her. Finding all this out tonight and seeing the holes in her stories....I BEG you all to be VERY cautious of giving her ANY form of payment for ANY show she is holding, she shouldn't be on here asking ANY of us to buy things from a party she is having EVER.....and if you HAVE already done that I would WATCH YOUR credit cards CAREFULLY monitor them DAILY for their activity......your bank accounts, your PAYPAL accounts, WHATEVER....be careful......we're on to her and hopefully she will find some OTHER website to go to....

I wouldn't ask you to buy from my Naughty Nighties party :eek: that I'll be hosting....ROFL...:D ...had to just toss that out there for a giggle....but you KNOW what I mean right?

Do NOT buy anything, from her Tshirts, her parties WHATEVER...we all know what is going on here......and what needs to happen is CAUTION CAUTION CAUTION......
