Hello all, I am unfortunately coming with bad news.
As of recently there has been a scammer on DoA who has taken possession of several dolls of fellow members, and attempted to sell the same doll to several members as well. If you are wondering why I'm bringing it up it is because within the transaction he did also deal Dollfie Dreams. One mold particular was Saber.
Currently, the members who had money transactions with him are using paypal to hopefully get returns, so far, only two people out of the few have gotten physical money, but others traded directly for dolls and are now contacting the police in hope to get him because he has their dolls. (He is a USA resident which makes this a lot easier than dealing with someone who is outside of the country.)
For information check the paging thread: http://www.denofangels.com/forums/showthread.php?597375-Problem-Transaction-with-ShowaDreamer
The individual has been on regularly to see the outcome of what people are doing. All they know so far is his name is Elijah, and he goes by the name ShowaDreamer on DoA. He currently has in his possession a Mariko (He offered Saber in trade of said Mariko which the member shipped their Mariko, and now the member is out their doll and money) which MAY be sold somewhere else, while I don't think he'd come here I did want to put a warning up.
Scammers are known to use other forums for the sake of selling items that they have stolen, while we can't know for sure, it is best to double check. I'm sorry to hear this happened to several members on DoA, and I wish it not to happen to this community as well. Hopefully, I don't put anyone in a panic, but figured it was well worth mentioning. Best safe, than sorry, right?
I hope they are all able to get their dolls back soon!
I'll forward the link to a couple of other doll groups I'm a member of, too.
). They aren't in our doll group nor does anyone in the group recognize them. Which is good for us - I'd hate for our group to get a black eye out of this just by association.
