Just another warning unrelated to Poppy. The horsebox scammers have been asking for paypal payments giving their victims a false sense of security. I don't know how they do this but a fake paypal page comes up which looks to all intents and purposes like the real thing and the money is diverted straight into their bank account. As we are talking horseboxes I have spoken to several people who lost in the region of £6,000 each! So even payments through paypal need to be checked out as genuine before money is sent.

How do we know this is unrelated to Poppy? Is it the level of intelligence required to set a scam like this up, that gives it away as not her ha ha! Please keep this thread going until she is finally caught and jailed. as it is definitely working, thanks to all it's contributors - well done everyone, keep up the good work. |

I think to be safe with PayPal people need to choose to pay by accessing the website though a safe search engine and not by any links that may be sent to pay through.
She is still emailing me, about payment for the saddle she's trying to scam me over. Given me the following info on her;
Address-
Willow trees
Parkfield road
Knutsford
Cheshire
WA16 8NP
Bank details-
halifax bank. account no: 10986568
sort code: 11 05 83
Husbands name is Paul apparently!! She is on nights in West Sussex

This terrible, but I would just like to say it could be anyone behind these names male or female who knows? Has anyone ever spoke to a female. My sister had identity fraud done to her. And all the abuse she got from ppl she ment to have ripped off put her in deep depression. And they also laundered money through her bank and PayPal account. The scammers were actually from Nigeria. It would not surprise me if its not the same sort of thing. It took the bank nearly 2yrs to sort my sisters out.

Ok. So that address is round the corner from my mum and dads house. I don't recognise the house name. But I will have drive by this morning. I would be very surprised if this is really her address. Sounds more like an identity theft.

I spoke to her on the phone. She certainly has an eastern counties accent rather than Yorkshire.

She's definitely real I've spoke to her and seen her in person myself and have also spoke to many people that have grown up with her and confirmed its definitely her too Anyone have any idea what I'd do,.... I bank with Lloyds but had saved the 600+ over a few weeks so isn't down as one amount I put cash into the nationwide account who wouldn't help me but as it was a cash transfer I don't think my Lloyds bank would help? |

Me too into a Nationwide account from my Santander one. Santander are worse than useless and didn't want to know. So any ideas re the Nationwide Account would be much appreciated please, if anyone can help. Thankyou. Wonder how many smiley faces she has had?  ?? |

I would still call Halifax even if that is not bank you paid into. Tell them what you know and also give details of Natwest account or the account you did pay into as all linked when they are investigating. I am stumped but I am not giving up and I am telling anyone who listens to me. I will be ringing Halifax again as well as my bank again and police again. x

I would have thought that once a bank has been notified that they are supplying an account to someone who is using it for criminal purposes they themselves might be criminally liable under the "Proceeds of Crime Act". Not a lawyer myself but perhaps worth taking advice on and certainly worth a mention to the relevant banks who are trying to evade responsibility. Awarding someone a bank account is a commercial transaction, banks are businesses making money from current account customers thus they in turn, it could be argued, are making money from the proceeds of crime by setting up a bank account for someone to bank money criminally obtained i.e. they are colluding in her criminal activities.
As for the police, well this really is shameful, a number of people know her identity and address and if they made the effort to follow up all these leads think what it would do for their "clear up" rate! Instead all they are getting is negative PR. Poppy Eastwood must be "laughing her socks off" she obviously believes, with some justification, that the police pose no threat to her at all. To my knowledge victims of her theft/fraud activities have been making complaints to police forces all over the country for months not weeks!

Very interesting! I'll drop that into conversation with a few banks tomorrow me thinks! Ummmm and in terms of Police if I know who to contact I'll gladly have a whinge in that direction too. Thanks very much for the advice. I refuse to take this lying down-far too tenacious!

Laura,
Try asking for the complaints dept of the Kent Police, I have written to their Chief Constable to ask him to account for why his officers are ignoring all the public info on a known criminal, who is operating in their area. I also wanted to know why she was being allowed to continue with her activities, when they are well aware of what she has been up to, when they have more than enough to arrest and charge her by now, I'm sure. Have had no reply yet but will keep you posted if I hear of anything.
By the way, did you send her a smiley face too?

Surely its a breach of conditions.Ill ring bank again although it needs to be those who have been scamned or attempted as it wont have same clout from just me! I havent sent a smiley but ought to! Apart from my raging pregnancy hormones are making me evil. Im worried ill go OTT if I go anywhere near her phone or e-mail! x

Laura,
didn't know she was already on bail - surely breaching bail conditions, depending on what she has been bailed for. Kent Police have a lot to answer for. I have done them, ActionFraud, my bank and Nationwide and also FSA and Banking Ombudsman - that last one was a long shot, but no good unfortunately. I haven't yet contacted Halifax as I didn't get scammed into that account, but I will if you think they will want to hear from me, as a victim.
Maybe you need to see her while you have do have those raging pregnancy hormones, that are making you evil, as you put it, at least she'd get what's coming to her.
I'll do whatever else you require me to do and if I have missed anyone to contact please let me know and I'll get straight onto it.
Keep up the good work and the momentum of this thread, as will I.
Take Care x

Thanks very much for the advice. I refuse to take this lying down-far too tenacious! Hi Laura, it may also be worth contacting the Police Commissioner for the Kent force. It is a new post and they will all be very anxious to justify their appointments. Well done for everything you have done so far  |

Thank you very much! I will get on to her too today and Halifax again! Im pretty sure everyone is aware of her but either shes not a big enough crime or she knows someone in high places! If i walked into a shop and took 5p out of til id be arrested for stealing! Yet to scam thousands through deception does actually appear to not be a matter of urgency or importance. Like we have all said keep up with daily blogs and everyone needs to badger banks and police no matter how small it feels. They probably cant do anything fir attempting to scam however if there are enough of these reports too surely it shows she is trying! Sad thing is I still need clippers and I imagine everyone still needs their goods. I will now not be getting them as wont buy 2nd hand unless off a friend! This girl has managed to cause a great deal of grief and upset to people and is affecting genuine people. I wonder where we stand on small claims? Its not worth it financially for me but it is for people who have paid over 150 i imagine. x

*My bank contacted again-who gives a .... was the attitude!
*HALIFAX AGAIN-Not able to tell me anything but plague them all the same! I can't call any other banks you paid into as missing any details eg account and sort code so people will need to contact them and Halifax also so they can make links between 2 accounts and Poppy.
* Contacted Ann Barnes via e-mail to question it.
Struggling to know how to move forward now but if anyone has any ideas just let me know. Frustration driving me a little demented again! x

I have contacted Nationwide Fraud Dept. I gave the details of my payment - £250 into the nTionwide Account of Miss P V Eastwood Acc no:40139292 sort code: 070246 on 30/08/13. They were not very interested as I had paid the money into the account willingly??? They did say that they were aware of concerns about the account and were monitoring the situation - and that an alert would be raised if anyone else tried to make payment into the account. They would not say how long they had concerns about the account - and wouldn't be drawn on it. They took my details (reluctantly) in case they were able to take any action. They also said that they were aware of the thread on Horsegossip. They suggested I contact Action Fraud. The nimber she used with me was 07712 350504
