Horse and hound forum has posts from people scammed by her, worthwhile linking them to this post. I have been scammed twice and it was a case of creating a massive fuss and not giving up. If she does work in a bank I'd contact the banks she could work for, all banks have a fraud team and money laundering team. An ex colleague of mine was done for theft of customer accounts, they went down on her like a lead balloon. She lost everything she owned plus a jail sentence, she also lost the ability to gain employment afterwards due to the criminal record she had.

If anyone knows how to link this post to Horse and Hound Forum, please feel free, as sadly my lack of technical knowledge means I don't know how to do this, otherwise I would do it immediately. Can anyone else help please?

Get onto ActionFraud Helpline and also Richard Coulson at Bromley CID, he is supposedly the investigating officer. Call him, do not email him, as he said me that he had so many emails regarding her that he couldn't possibly reply to them all. How in hell is this bit*h still doing this and what in Gods name are the Police and Banks doing about it - oh yes, NOTHING!!!!
We ALL need to take a little trip to 123 Lovibonds Avenue in Orpington, Kent, to put her on the spot, either that or give her a good hiding, as that is what she needs.
Mabel2191, go to horse and hound forum and also Facebook and please do what I've done and lets expose her by contacting Don't Get Done, Get Dom. The details are earlier on in this thread. Please make a big fuss, as nothing will ever get done, unless we all do this. People so far seem to just give up and keep letting her get away with it, which is exactly why she can keep doing it. Vile, evil cow that she is - hope her parents are really proud of her!

Mabel2191, she hasn't been done for it because, as I said before, people she has scammed are trying to get her done on their own, this will not work. It needs all of her victims to contact all the authorities together, as they can ignore individuals, but it would be much harder to ignore well over 1,000 of us.

Sounds as if it was one of her usernames that has already been blocked then which is good as it would be worrying if there were new cases that stem from this site. Can you try to avoid text speak when you are posting - some of us oldies struggle to work out what you're trying to say otherwise  |

IMPORTANT UPDATE!! Female impersonating my daughter, Sophie Howard, is replying to Horsegossip wanted ads offering the concours d'elegance outfit below for sale .. she is saying that she is Sophie Howard, owner/rider of highland pony Tower Hector and that she will sell this outfit together with a similar green one for £60, payment by bank transfer only .. she is sending this very photo to her victims! The telephone no. she has given is 07712 350504 and address 'Whalley Cottages, Manchester Road, Blackrod, Bolton, Lancs BL6 5XX' THIS IS A SCAM and ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH SOPHIE HOWARD, TOWER HECTOR, CONCOURS~COUTURE and is being reported to the police at this immediate time  |

For info i put a wanted ad on here this eve for a red or green tartan concours outfit within 2 minutes i had a text reply from tel no 07712350504 offering both in the sizes i wanted for £60.00 when i asked for a picture i was sent the one above of Sophie Howard, i knew i had seen the picture on the internet before as we were researching these costumes i asked if she was Sophie Howard as i had seen this picture on fb and put two and two together quite sharpish , she confirmed she was sophie and that her address was as above BL65SX ETC when i coaxed further said i would pay via paypal she backed off and said she would take half the money and the other half once i had received the goods, in the meantime i contacted Jackie and Concours-Couture and verified the fraud, as my husband works within the police sector I am taking this first thing to see what can be done and lets hope she is caught very soon !!!!

I wonder how many of the addresses she has given out belong to her victims. I guess if she is getting money through bank transfers, then she doesn't actually need to give anyone her real address. |

Could we not track her through bank details ? Surely you would need them to do a bank transfer ?

Daj poppy is defo from Kent the other person will be another innocent party.
That phone number she's still using is definitely hers although changing the bank details alot! I'm so glad people are getting wise to this it really peees me off that our money is not obly feeding her crack addiction but giving her the funds to bulk buy the stuff to supply!! Ooh and I have a few friends running her reg plate for me drives a black 53plate mini...... With the money she's been getting I'd have expected higher..... Sighh

The net is closing in!
Moderators, don't you think it would be wise to suspend the Tack etc selling and wanted categories on HG until this scammer is caught ... it is obviously unsafe for members to trade on these pages as the moment
Your reply here please
Thank you

Thank youBut this would be unfair on the genuine people I think the best advice is to ONLY pay for goods via PayPal and not bank transfer. |
