Well, I originally contacted LINA MENDOZA via her EBAY STORE, Kids murals N more, operated by Ebay id member name, Murals4kids! New Ebay userid: knr1214 (I just searched Ebay tonight & found this out). If you go to her Ebay feedback you will see she also had sold diet pills & just bought some tanning lotion & skin bronzers off EBAY (search her feedback from sellers)! This just gets more & more interesting, the more I find out about this SCAM ARTIST!
My contacts started through Ebay message system talking to Lina about doing a custom 13 piece fish & scuttle (Little Mermaid) Mural for my daughters' b-day. The first contacts started in February, beginning of March! She detoured me to her personal website www.murals4kidz.com, outside of Ebay. She sent me an invoice via email & to pay via a google checkout.
She would not accept my Paypal account & my computer picked the google checkout as a nonsecure site (At that point, I should have known). I ended up mailing her a personal check for $72.00-mid March! She cashed it 4/1/08. I have emails from her saying that 3 weeks max for my order. I contacted her about the 3rd week in April to check my status order, & she emailed me back saying that they would be shipping that week.
After waiting another week, I emailed her again & she emailed me saying they were shipping that week & would send me a shipping tracking #! She never sent the number & I never received. I emailed her again May 7th & she was acting like she was going to check with Post office, asked for my address again, & would get back to me! She never did. My daughters b-day was 5/20/08! I emailed her so many times in May after the 7th, & never no response.
Finally, the first week of JUNE (almost 3 months after my original orders/contacts with this women, or man-who knows?) I contacted the BBB! 1 day later after filing a complaint with BBB, I got a response back from a NICOLE via rebuttals. First, she was like, we have the murals in stock we will ship & give you a "free fish"! I declined the whole order & just wanted my money back, at this point I did not trust anything said!
Nicole wanted to know more information about my complaint (like she was going to help me)! I explained to her the whole Ebay thing & all my contact emails with Lina via [email protected]! I got an email from her (Nicole), and she called me a LIAR! Unbelievable by me, at this point. Nicole, also made a comment that she would make it difficult to get my money back! Guess what, I never got my money back, or my murals!
I will continue to seek justice & hope I will get payment back! Thank you, for the person who left all the awesome legal contacts! I will definatly do my part in contacting the proper authorities even futher. Thus far, I notified BBB, EBAY Security, and The Internet Crime Complaint Center; http://www.ic3. Gov/complaint/! I noticed on Ebay tonight, as mentioned above, she is no longer selling any items.
So I hope Ebay has suspended her for now, so she will not be able to leur any more people into this scam. I did notice her Ebay Userid name: Murals4kids was changed to the knr1214! When, I did an advanced search on Ebay Under the old name it linked me to this new userid! We will get her in the end. Everyone has to pull together & seek justice! The sad thing is, she is selling children's murals! This is very sad because most of us scammed were in search of a special project for our kids! So, seek justice not for yourself, but for your little one's, too!
