Has anyone dealt with xiaofann on instagram? I saw the word 'fanny' on the bio and instantly became suspicious on one of the scammers with the name 'geofanny' I want to buy some cards from this person, but I'm hesitant since they are possibly from the same country as the scammer.

Its not really my own experience but a good friend of mine bought some cards of an ebay seller called Jooheon that turned out to be a member of the forum gotseven and she never recieved the cards and had to open a case on Ebay because the seller never responded, and we could see on Ebay that other buyers had the same problem (paid and never recieved the cards). Just a heads up in case anyone trades or buys from her on the forum (dunno if she's still active though)

has anyone had successful deal or their problem settled with jingyichen23 @ instagram? she's interested in 4 of my eunji jp cards and said she doesn't mind shipping pink memory white & red albums to indonesia. i know shipping albums overseas from her country is expensive.. i find that a bit fishy

I do not advise buying from mar-hlvhg on ebay. I bought Raina's Lipstick pc from her in August. After a month and a half went by with no pc, I opened a case against her. She apologized and said that she had just started school and that she would get the pc out soon and then closed the case. It's midway through November and no pc and for some reason, after she closed the case, I can no longer open another one or leave feedback and she hasn't responded to any messages.

twinkeul a lot of people overseas (mainly hong kong and china) have been having issues with her. she keeps telling them that she shipped out their cards but they still haven't gotten anything and it's been ~ 1 -3 months. in one case she gave someone a tracking number but never dropped the package off at the post office =/

e.unjii thanks for the info! she agreed to send her part first but i've never heard of her again. her last message was two weeks ago. i guess i'll stop holding my cards for her -- update on jingyichen23: she changed her insta username to @daijobubu and locked her profile. i will no longer hold my cards for her.

Thought I should do a quick review of my experience trading with @jingyichen23 or @daijobubu on Instagram. We agreed to trade a Taeyeon I pc and Chaeyoung selfie pc from Twicecoaster for two SNSD Daum pcs. I checked her out on Facebook to see if she's had any issues previously, and she's had numerous issues with replying or not sending items. I posted for advice before I continued the transaction. I never tagged her in any of the Facebook posts, but she found them and seemed to take offense to the fact that I questioned her legitimacy. (Personally I feel that once you have a reputation as a scammer, you've opened yourself up to any and all questioning or skepticism, but I just quickly apologized and moved on.) Although she initially wanted to send at the same time, I basically pushed her into sending first due to the fact that she has a history of not sending things out at all. In hindsight, this was an extremely wise decision. After we exchanged addresses, she sent a message on November 14th saying that because someone had filed a claim against her on PayPal, she couldn't make any shipping labels to send my cards out. she messaged me back on the 22nd saying that she'd be able to ship out within a couple days. She provided a tracking number on the 23rd but the package wasn't dropped off at the post office until the 25th. Had we shipped on the same day, I would have had to wait almost two weeks before she could ship out. The cards arrived on the 28th safely and without any damage, to my surprise. I sent my cards out and they should arrive tomorrow morning.
Throughout this transaction, I'd seen posts from this girl and people who had issues with her all over Instagram. She was somewhat aggressive imo, and her stories never seemed to make sense. She eventually privated and changed her username on IG (this made me pretty uneasy tbh). She also has an eBay account (ohmyarin) where she has recent negative feedback from items she never sent out.
Tldr; if you're international - I would avoid! All her international transactions seem to have issues. If in the US, I would be extremely careful; have her send first and make sure both sides do tracking. She tends to have a lot of excuses and can be pretty defensive if you call her out on the ridiculous lies. Deal with her at your own risk!

Potential Scammer/Deal with at own Risk
Jeffery Weir (canada) Facebook
We 'traded' my Minhyuk Innocent photocard to his Wonho innocent photocard on the 11th of October. I sent him photoproof, of my packed letter expecting him to do the same. He did not but he had taken a picture of his card with his name so I thought nothing really of it. We both 'sent' out however I was the only one to send proof. He said he was busy and that he would but he never did send proof of sending. He says he sent which I just don't believe at this point.
I've constantly been in contact asking if Minhyuk has arrived, basically just being incredibly worried for the past month and he's claimed not to have received Minhyuk either. Though once again, at this point, I don't believe. At least I know and he knows that I actually sent out but yeah, his replies have become far and in between. He hasn't messaged me once about the card, it's all been me showing worry which I find strange seeing as his card 'hasn't' arrived either.
I made the mistake of not pushing for legit proof but with the time difference and agreeing to send out that day, I let myself be caught really.

Forgot to post this here as well so I'm just going to copy the Tumblr post I made on Nov 7th. [SCAMMER - Savannah Herger]Location: Berlin, Germany Facebook: savannah.herger.3 (she changed it to savannah13187) Tumblr: Savannah021220 YouTube: RaviYouAre Precious / Dear Wonshik Instagram: Park__so_young__ (changed to mianhaaeee, I'm pretty sure she made a new one tho) E-mail: raviyouareprecious@gmail.com About a month ago Savannah contacted me on Tumblr saying that she was very interested in 2 of my Ravi cards, Error KR and Chained Up Freedom, and wanted to trade. I sent her my wish list and she said she had Hyuk Zelos and a Leo Hana Kaze card. I asked her to send a picture to see which version it was, which she did but it turned out to the version I already had. She then asked me if I wanted to trade for Hyuk Zelos and Hades. I agreed and asked her to send me pictures. She said she went on a little vacation and asked if she could send me the pictures the day after, which was fine with me. I send her photoproof of the 2 Ravi cards and the next day I got the picture from her. We agreed to trade and exchanged addresses; she said she was able to ship out that day but since I had classes until the end of the day I couldn’t mail it out. Not too much later she sent me a picture of a receipt. I can read a bit of German and I have received mail from Germany before so I know it’s more expensive than the €0,70 that was indicated on the receipt; I also double checked this on the website (which showed international mail starts at €0,90) and with some lovely Germans on here who confirmed that for me. I asked Savannah and she told me “Ik it is like this but I already put a stamp on it so this was just the rest price I had to pay, in total I paid 3,90€”. Again; this is not an actual amount for international mail from Germany. So I told her I wasn’t going to send out my part of the trade until I had received her part because things just didn’t add up. Yesterday I saw a notification on Facebook for the VIXX trade/sale group I’m an admin off; there was a person called Savannah Herger asked to join, the profile made an hour before requesting to join. I asked my fellow admin Rachel to let her in the group, not wanting her to see my name, to see if she would post the cards she was supposed to trade with me but she did nothing. She also didn’t post anything on the Facebook profile. Later that night I got a message request on Instagram; I was too busy so I didn’t check it right away. I opened it just now and it was someone asking if I still had the Ravi Chained Up Freedom photocard; I saw this username linked to Savannah before. First I thought she was trying to check if I was scamming her since I haven’t shipped out my part, so I told her it was on hold. But when I checked the profile the picture that was profile picture on the the Savannah Herger Facebook. So I decided to talk to her ( see pictures). She told me her name was Gia and that she was from Italy but she forgot to edit her Instagram bio before lying to me and blocking me. Luckily I took screenshots before she changed it. In the meantime I went through our Tumblr chat again and checked all the pictures because I wanted to see what she exactly I didn’t notice right then because I was on mobile when I got he picture but when I looked at the picture on my laptop today I saw that the edges of the pc were smudged, and that the cards were basically photoshopped in (idk how I could have missed it, it’s quite obvious). I also went through her Tumblr again and she posted pictures with her username and ‘Sarah’ on it before so I think Savannah might not even be her real name. The next day I found a comment on Facebook and I recognised the e-mail. Turns out she also contacted me via YouTube, and later e-mail, to buy my Ravi Can’t Say ver B card but later wanted to trade. So long story short; I’m pretty sure she was trying to scam me and I’d advice people to not deal with her!!

I strongly advise people to be careful when dealing with ShaemikoMichiko on YouTube. She approached me offering to trade two Exo cards (Baekhyun LMR CH and Exodus CH) and sent me this photo proof: I immediately thought something looked odd about them and after closer inspection noticed these things: 1) Even after zooming up, there are no tab specks on these cards, the corners are too round compared to real cards. 2) The color on the cards is more saturated than real cards 3) The cropping is more close than real cards. Also after consulting with members here on the forum photocard.boards.net/thread/1215/photocard-fake?page=9&scrollTo=147997 they agreed that the cards do look quite fake. Other things to note: 1) She has been contradicting - when I asked her for past trade/sale proof she says that she was new to trading but then when I tried asking her about the genuineness of her cards she said that she had traded for them (?) 2) In her old trade video that she has now deleted, she had ALL 9 Exo member Overdose cards except the cards for the 3 members she collects. Whether she bought albums and got these cards herself or bought the cards that seems a little too coincidental. 3) I just happened to watch her newest trade video filmed under brighter lighting (December 24th) where it is even more obvious her cards are definitely off, the material of the cards is stiffer and much more reflective than real cards, when I noted this is in my final email to her since she kept on insisting on her cards being real a few hours earlier, when I went back to check this video has already been deleted from her channel.

SCAMMER (I'll keep updating this as more information about her is found) Name: Bless Davis Location: Cinncinati, OH, United States or Chattanooga, TN Instagram: kpoppae, sana_.aa, prettytzuyu, prettyseulgi, tzu.yuuu, kpopcollector Facebook: Kpopper Jae My trading experience: She contacted me on November 1st offering to trade her Irene The Velvet, Taeyeon Holler, JB MAD, and Joshua Boys Be photocards. We agreed to trade for my Yongguk Carnival, Kihyun Guilty, Yeri Russian Roulette, and Chanyeol LMR CH photocards. We both sent photoproof and exchanged addresses. I sent my cards out on the 4th with tracking. They arrived to her on the 7th. Nothing came to me. She claims to have sent them out on on the 5th, but she never sent proof of shipment. She claims that exams were killing her, but it was early November and I know that US students hs or collegiate don't have strenuous exam periods at that time. I contacted her and let her know that nothing had come and she played nice. I agreed to wait until Dec 30th. Still nothing came so I contacted her on Jan 2nd to tell her that nothing came. She replied "OMG Really?!" Before I could reply she had gone back and deleted a whole bunch of her responses to me (anything incriminating) and disabled her account. Issues with others: [UPDATE 1/21/17] She is currently returning the photocards back to the original owners. She sent 3/4 of my cards back, but traded away one to someone else. I asked her to either pay for it or replace it. She became offended and said that I was "knocking her" or "criticizing/judging" her because it was all a misunderstanding. When I continued to press for payment/replacement (I actually had to mention filing charges with her local police station) she finally agreed but said that I should stop "criticizing her" because she's being nice and buying me a new card... She had initially said that she didn't have the money to replace the card, but she magically has money to buy my card off of ebay along with other cards she wants. I asked her to send the card directly to me, but she said that because she was ordering other things that it would have to be sent to her address first. I checked the only Korean ebay listing for that card and they offer free shipping, therefore combined shipping wouldn't be a factor. I told her about this and she has yet to respond. Most of us agree that she is very young. She doesn't have any empathy or feelings of regret for her actions. She has yet to apologize for her actions and seems to think that by sending our cards back that she's the bigger person.

Does anyone know mincypher.93 on IG ? Yesterday, she posted a picture I found suspicious because it reminded me of a picture from an auction on Yahoo Japan Auction - 3 very rare DaeHyun postcards. I checked and it indeed was the same picture. When I asked her why she had the same (albeit cropped pic) from another auction, she told me she was the one who posted it on YJA (really?). I then asked her why she didn't post it on eBay instead of YJA since it would be easier to attract potential buyers and where she was from but she deleted the post. She has several other items on sale but I don't know the groups very well so I can't tell if this applies to her other posts.
