doodlebug Her facebook is Tiffany Tran and she's from Victoria Australia. I'll definitely message Sophie her actual address. I've now learnt that she's been doing this for a year on the Aus kpop trading pages but changing accounts frequently. A real pro. I'm so mad!

xxOhMaknaexx I know it's hard but try not to be too hard on yourself. These things happen and scammers have so many ways of scamming and going under the radar and ways of getting away with it that it's difficult even for the most vigilant of people to go unscathed. The best we can do is to put her name and info like any accounts she uses and any e-mails she uses out there so that others don't befall the same fate as you. I know it's no use to you now but like I said try not to be so hard on yourself, these things happen to all of us.

doodlebug Yeah, she was so friendly and didn't give off any vibes until after I'd posted. Suckered me right in, I'm more angry at myself really. I feel like I got a bit, not lazy, but comfortable and yeah my first time getting scammed and it sucks. Gotta move on though I suppose.

I'm sorry to say that I believe that there has been a large scam taking place on Facebook once again. This time Legit FB member Sarah Li (Sarah.Li.88), or Sarah_li623 on Instagram, who is apparently not so legit as she claims to be. Together with a few other girls I've gathered information on Sarah Li after noticing that almost all our trades had similar problems; people were not receiving their trades and/or Sarah claimed not to have received theirs. Over the past few weeks we have contacted people and gathered as much proof as we can just in case it was indeed just a case of 'lost mail' however, we found significant evidence that something was definitely off about Sarah. The evidence has been gathered in this evidence document, which was posted onto the Legit Kpop Seller/Trader/Buyer Facebook page (a page which serves the same cause as this forum; trying to keep our community safe and to exchange experiences). After posting the document we have received around 10 other complaints of people experiencing the same problems when dealing with Sarah Li and are now gathering their stories into a second document. I would like to ask you all to read the document and spread the word. I know there have been 3 other forum members who have dealt with her but if there are any others please contact me immediately! Update: Sarah's (not useful) statement and our response

hyoyeon No problem We're currently still working on the second document but to summarize; she doesn't send out trades, claims to not receive cards, does double deals (trading 1 card with multiple people), uses stolen pictures as photoproof and still claims to be innocent. hyuk So glad to hear you dodged the bullet! It's amazing what she managed to get away with!

Has any one dealt with bts_shoppe on Instagram? All the photos have been uploaded only in the last day, and the name written on the paper in the photos looks a little photoshopped to me. The name on the paper is Shwanah Yang and they say they're USA based. Just thought i'd ask before I make a purchase, thanks!

[Update on the Sarah Li case]
- First document- Sarah's (not so useful) statement and our response
In the first file, we had seven cases. Since then, we have discovered and confirmed a total of 30+ cases, with 50+ packages lost to/from Sarah in the past year. Seven of these cases have yet to be updated in the document, for we just discovered them (we keep getting more and more). After working for days we finally present you with the second document on Sarah Li. Warning; the document is 100+ pages. In the beginning of this document is a chart created to follow who and what was affected, as well as in chronological order. On the chart, you will also find a page number as to where the full report of that particular case begins. Some of the most important details: - Sarah has been stealing pictures:- In Jae Jun's case Sarah used Chiara Spampinato's picture of Baekhyun EXODUS (White) and cut off Chiara's name.
- In Marina Oh's case, Sarah used images from Google as her own to "prove" that she had cards for a trade. Marina presented her proof properly, and asked Sarah to have all three cards in one picture because all of Sarah's had different backgrounds. Sarah 'forgot' to do it, and told Marina she sent her cards out. Marina refused to send out her end because she didn't receive proper photo proof and would wait until she receives Sarah's. Sarah starts an argument that this is "unfair". The next day she messages Marina saying that she filed a bunch of paperwork in order to get her package back and did not want to trade with Marina anymore.
>you can't fill out paperwork to get something that was sent using stamps, it's impossible< - There were several double deals going on:- Sarah promised both Caeley Hepworth and Joanna Szlachtewicz-Pitura the Leo Control PC (in which only Caeley has received so far).
- Sarah offered Leo Darkest Angels (card send to Sarah by Rachel) to Lola Monica Ulfah, 20 days after tracking said it arrived / after Sarah claimed to have not received Leo. (We believe she's also been offering the card on eBay).
- Sarah 'traded' Taemin MoU ('sent' to Melanie Lee but never arrived) and Chorong Pink Blossom ('sent' to Person K and Hieu-Duc Nguyen but never arrived to either of them) with Eternity_Kpop in January 2016.
- In Lola Monica Ulfah's case, Sarah offered to trade her Leo DA PC for something Lola had. This was on December 24th, 20 days after Rachel's tracking confirmed her Leo DA PC was delivered to Sarah.
- Sarah claimed to have sent out Ken Darkest Angels to Rachel on the 25th of November, but the card was visible in the picture she made for Mélanie Jung on the 26th of November.
- Sarah is active on Facebook (Sarah.Li.88), Instagram (Sarah_Li623). We have reason to believe she also has several eBay account, which she used to sell some of the items she claimed to have never received to herself on different accounts, in order to gain enough feedback to post the listings internationally. - Sarah has been refusing to respond to our team but has been in contact with other people who contacted her. She claimed to be innocent and that she was too busy with exams to respond. After her exams she left an non-sense statement full of lies/non-related topics, but has stopped responding after we, on February 2nd, asked her to reply to the actual topics mentioned in our document.

Instagram user stellalikeskpop is a scammer! She responds asap for sales but then doesn't respond after a payment is made! I can provide a more detailed response to anyone that needs more info!

Has anyone else had any problems with forum member jimind? I bought a Jimin Skool Luv Affair special addition photocard from them in March and as soon as I paid they went MIA. They said they'd post out my card the next day, but then on that day said they would have to postpone sending it out since the post office hours were only from 9-1 and that didn't suit them. Which was fine, since we all get busy. But then they never messaged saying it had been posted. So I messaged them a week later asking if they'd posted it out and no response. I gave them another week and still no response. I spoke to moderator Sophie about this and she said to email them with the email they provided, which I did and never got a reply. It's now been two months and I've lost a lot of money and have no photocard
