Pretty sure someone on Facebook was trying to scam me for a saddle, got sent photos that don't match up. Name was holly Dale from Cumbria. She only wanted 380 for an immaculate fylde Marjorie!

'Holly Dale' is using a pic of a mare from welsh stud as one of her profile pics I have the owners/breeders on there that posted the exact pic hmmm haha and she has 6 friends...Yeah right come on!!! she is soooooo desperate maybe if she got off her arse and got a good job and qualifications under her she wouldn't need to be a con artist for a living.. Hopefully people will stop being so gullible and STOP believing her crap!! Poor poppy eastwood who is on showing circuit I really feel sorry for her as her names is being blackend because of this witch.

Just blocked 'Holly Dale' from our FB page. Just as well I saw this, as she is getting VERY clever! We usually add people easily when they have friends in the group, she had 6 friends and a mutual friend with me, normally I would not have hesitated to let her in - PHEW!

Well done everyone for keeping us all up to date with this horrible creatures latest names etc. It must be getting harder and harder to get a result from her scams these days hopefully, so keep up the good work. I know I will never stop until she is in jail where she belongs - or should that be in the gutter lol!

Does anyone else suspect that this is a much bigger racket than just one person? I wonder if there is a gang of some description behind this, stealing ID's and info off FB and sites like this. Be wary!

I am sure I read that she is now operating with a Paypal account, but is asking people to send the money using the gift option - and then I believe that way, payment is no better than a glorified bank transfer.

Another one! Member on here called kimramsey. Sent photos from an old thread on here. Mods please ban her!
I got suspicious when her email name and account name wrere different. Put the photos in Google and they come up with a thread from 2011 with the same photos on it.

Please beware - I think a member on here 'kimramsey' may be another alias, she has approached me recently claiming there is a problem with her PayPal and asking me to pop Money into her bank account.
Luckily for me I'm very suspicious after reading so many horror stories about this on here and FB.

From FB, looks as if she could also be masquerading as Emma Marsh

Could somebody who has been scammed not start one of them petitions online to bring it to the attention of the required authorities that they cannot just ignore due to public support, just a thought as this person will never be stopped

The Police and Action Fraud appear to be a complete bunch of losers, of whom I have no idea what use either of them actually are. If anyone has any better ideas, I'll gladly give it a go, as long as it's all above board and legal. Although I cannot deny, hoping that she eventually gets her just desserts via Karma. |

Here is another fraudster- dawn shields selling a fylde Marjorie on preloved. Blackpool area accent.... AS said a million times...only use PayPal and this one was unable to provide all of the usual saddle pics at different angles. I don't think there is just one poppy Eastwood but sadly many doing such scams. Number used 07973746394
Further update-her email which is dawns shields links to a Courtney Stephenson on FB.

Be wary! Definitely a gang, I have been trying to buy sever al saddles over last 3 months and have encountered them 3 times. The spelling and speech seems similar using words like "carnt" instead of "can't" and paly pay instead if PayPal. The pics on both FB accounts show a long dark hair young girl (who could have been the same), tan, slug eyebrows and pics of top end show ponies/riders who I'm sure are not the same person. This one eventually came up with a PayPal email but I'm not going to test it as nothing matches and the two pics look copied. Quite horrid dishonest people with no scruples but definitely agree its a gang. |

Stanger in street walks up to you and asks to borrow £300. Without question, you give it him, not knowing who when or where he is and when you will get it back .. would you do this?
No?
Same as transferring money into a complete stranger's bank account!

She was using the names Eve Wilson and also Grace Mumford, she is trying to sell a Fylde Ray, I've been lucky and not fallen for it, but someone has used bank transfer and lost £550 !!
She seems to be using the facebook group - Saddles for Sale and Wanted
This has been the only place on facebook that I have mentioned about wanting a saddle!

Also known as "Lauren Bishop" on facebook. she has used pictures off someone off here. she even used their surname on the bank account to make it seem realistic. please DON'T use bank transfer. no matter how much you think you trust them. Cash on collection, paypal (goods and services) or just go and buy fom a secondhand/new saddlery shop. Saves you money. police aren't interested and shes still doing it!! now apparently on horse lorries too! she needs jailing!

Sarah Gray is another name being used by this specimen. My mum even stated about the "scams" and she claimed to be genuine and even suggested paying half and half which was what happened, now the phone number no longer exists. So take note, these people need stopping.

Appears I've been had !fell hook line and sinker!,£450 for a fylde Samantha that hadn't appeared.SARAH GRAY is the name of the scammer.Gave me a home and business address in Bedford.Money was transferred to R Gray.The business that does exist is RP Gray Limited builders merchants in Bedford but she had probably just plucked that out of the phone book.Very convincing,reassuring.Ive used bank transfer before and never had a problem .She is still trying to convince me that the saddle will be delivered.
