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.

Playing dective here...how did a scanner not get the check number (assuming name and info got cut off as well, but Darby did not mention that) when their is a design on top of the check that matches the bottom of the check. Does the number and name not go UNDER the design on the top??

Darby~ I hope you have fun at your "event" tonight. I hope that you decide to fess up and tell HO and us what really happened.

This finally has me concerned...i have been trying to think the best all along but now...not only would the # in the upper right corner be there...but the check # is also repeated on the bottom right in that long line of #'s - so that could not have been cut off by the scanner.

WOW......You know you've got a serious situation when KG won't even touch it! :eek: I keep expecting him and his smarta$$ self :rolleyes: (love you KG!) to pop in and lighten the mood..........................KG - where are you when we need you?! ;) :p :) (please don't tell me he's the alter-ego....that would be devastating!......)

There are a couple other cheffers that completely supported Darby that haven't checked in here...Harriet....Jason...Anne. I don't want this thread to die until everyone that supported her reads this and draws their own conclusion.

Remember Jason? He wanted us to get an attorney and contact the BBB. I was jumped when I said that was a bit drastic. That's what scared me about the HS thread....everyone was so supportive of her and ready to take up arms in her defense!

It's been said here a million times today....if you read something on CS that sounds fishy or just doesn't add up...call HO and check it out!
 
CA Mom,Nice meeting you....REBA....nice meeting you too, see ya at conference....I'm going to go look for some HELPFUL information .....LOL...oh, but I'll be BACK to catch up....ROFL....:p :p :p :p

I am so with you on that one. I have seen no television in 16 hours:eek:
and we still didnt pick a movie yet to go see:o
 
LolTHIS is what CS is all about......
 
Actually, I think I'm going to leave this now (at least for the rest of the evening). Time to cook dinner, finish some laundry, and read my Jan Karon novel--something peaceful and uplifting after all of this!But I'll be back by Monday to see what the news is.Happy thoughts everyone. I'll be praying for all concerned.

That means do NOT drink ANY wine under any circumstances...try to be as quiet and meet as possible. OMG I don't think that I have been quiet a day in my life :eek: If you had seen my bridal shower we are all going to learn to much about eachother! My bridesmaids thought it would be a good idea to have everyone contribute to a "honeymoon" basket. Did we get a lot of good laughs that day!
 
Dare I ask this...so what was in the "honeymoon basket".....LOL
 
I haven't been part of this but as I was reading (and yes it is like a soap opera), I was bothered by the fact that home office was giving out information about when shows were delivered. I understand why people are calling home office at this point but in the beginning I don't think home office should have given out specific dates about shows and shipments. I couldn't even pay our phone bill over the phone because it was in my boyfriends name....so why is the home office sharing info about us?
 
You know what REALLY bums me out about this whole situation/thread...many of us recruit a new consultant and immediately give them a link to chefsuccess.com so they can come and learn and enjoy...but ya know what? I don't want my new recruits reading this crap. I don't want them to think that THIS is what goes on with our company & fellow consultants...because it is NOT. But being new and reading this thread...it would have turned me off right away. I thin once this whole thing has been resolved, this thread should be pulled. It's just sad...so sad.

The HO does not give out our information under normal circumstances. This was an isolated incident. Elaine's original call was just to get the HO's stand on stolen shipments. Only after she was asked by HO what made her think they would do (what Darby said), did they look into Darby's actual account and give her the information.

I will admit that I called HO last night to see if they would tell me whether or not she actually submitted a show for $1454 in Feb. I was put on hold and then told that they could not share other consultant's information. The only exception I have found in the past is when I have called for my downline with a question. Their computers can show that I am connected to my downline and give me the info.

That is why I called the first time...


Off to dinner!
 
Holy cow! I hadn't checked in here today till about 40 minutes ago and found this...took that long to read all of the posts!!

Thankfully, I was not one who donated any $, so I am not out anything personally. But, this sure is a mess and I certainly feel very bad for all of you who are caught up in it!

I hope and pray that HO gets to the bottom of this. It really sucks if someone has deliberately scammed anyone on CS. I know on another board about a year ago someone's entire kit (which included quite a few products)fell out of the back of her pickup truck and her insurance would not cover it. I was actually one of the ladies heading up the process to help her out. I would have just been sick had I found out that it was all a scheme.

This is a wonderful forum for all of us to support one another and to help each other. I seriously hope that this doesn't change everyone's feelings towards one another. I know that this is an online community and we need to be careful, but remember that for the most part, everyone on here has good intentions. I think (like some others have said) this needs to be a call for us to be careful...

BTW, I do hope that when folks are applying to join that HO is contacted so that consultant numbers are verified. (Although, to be honest, I have no idea how many new members there are each day...not sure if that is even possible.)

I will be adding my consultant number to my sig line, though.

((((((((((((Prayers and hugs to all involved))))))))))))))))

You can join without being a consultant - I did - I was at the time still deciding. I joined here 1/07 and didn't sign until 2/07.

Oops! Didn't know that! But now that you mention it, I can remember people posting questions who were considering becoming a PC consultant. Ugh. Crazy that sometimes one bad apple messes it up for so many.
