Brandice Says

Well, now she’s fishing for “donations” to help with her medical bills! Anyone want to give one of the most dishonest, terrible people I’ve ever met a whole bunch of money for what is almost CERTAINLY a huge online scam? Check out her numerous sad and whiny posts fishing for donations that will certainly be used for her next big online scheme to gain cash. She’s blogging about her distress on both her personal blog and a site specially designed to appeal to the hearts of people who don’t know her well enough to know that she is a SCAM ARTIST.

This woman is TERRIBLE. I appealed with PayPal back when she screwed me and they wouldn’t help because she kept stringing me along with “the tea will be there any day now” emails until the time limit for a PayPal appeal had expired, and the Better Business Bureau (BBB) wasn’t helpful either.

The sad thing is, she has scammed her FAMILY as well! I received an email this week:

*Edit: Omitted to respect the privacy of the author of the email.

The synopsis: A family member of Summer’s emailing me searching the internet for her business address in order to figure out how to get $115 in teas that she ordered and never received, and asking me if I ever got a refund after my experience. She found my complaint on Yelp and thought I might have tips on getting a refund, because she has already found no help from PayPal or her BBB claim.

Summer promised to mail the missing tea in late November and predictably never followed through and this family member also regrets contributing to funds for Summer’s recent trip to California. She (Summer) has taken down her tea site and unfriended this family member on Facebook.

Seriously, WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT THIS WOMAN? Can someone help me? Is there a good site to submit her information to where she can be stopped from pedaling for money, money that is now supposed gained from appealing to the hearts of unsuspecting kind people who could be giving well-meaning to real charities? This is terrible!

I seriously want to know how to stop this woman. She is terrible human being. TERRIBLE.

UPDATE 1/15/12 10pm:

Since posting, I’ve received no less than five messages from other people also concerned at Summer’s behavior, suspicious of her claims, and utterly appalled by her professional behavior, as well as her behavior within the chronically ill (#chronicallyawesome) community. She has recently taken advantage of and misled multiple people in ways that really point toward some seriously bad karma for this woman, even if her financial exploitation never catches up with her. I just hope publicly calling her out AGAIN stops even one more person from giving her a dime.

I’m going to post all my past dealings with her under the cut.
