Authenticlvbags is NOT authentic and won't refund your money Apache Junction Arizona
I'm another victim of Mari Adams (aka R. Patel, Betty Choo, etc). I won't go into a long detail but want to report that "Peasy" is seriously correct in her "accusations" of Ms. Mari Adams or whomever she is. I purchased a LV Speedy 30 in late December. Received it mid-January. The bag looked new not used as described on her website (www.authenticlvbags.com). I listed it on a well-known auction site. I was told the next day by other auctioners that the bag was a fake.
I reported this to Mari who agreed to let me return the bag. I sent the bag back with signature confirmation. An "R.Patel" signed for it. Mari Adams, a few days later, sent the USPS tracking number which reported on the USPS website that the Priority Mail item and been delivered to 97305--my zip code. Well just like in Peasy's case no refund had actually arrived to my physical address.
Even the USPS office was baffled. Well they may be baffled but I discovered that because the Priority Mail is only tracked to a zip code that it doesn't take a whole lot of brains to realize that the scamming Ms. Adams sent something or nothing via Priority Mail envelope to some other address in my zip code. So she can obviously "prove" that she sent the money back to "me" when in fact she hadn't. A rep. from USPS requested I ask her to send me a copy of the Money Order receipt (if in deed she sent a Money Order back to me). I've written "Mari" several times but she has since refused to answer my emails. Okay so here's what Peasy and anyone else needs to do if they haven't already so something legal can be done to stop this person and put her a## in jail! ... Please report your scenarios to:
1. USPS Fraud department at http://postalinspectors.uspis.gov/forms/MailFraudComplaint.aspx
2. The FTC at https://rn.ftc.gov/pls/dod/wsolcq$.startup
3. The Internet Crime Center (which is an arm of the FBI) at http://www.ic3.gov/ and
4. The Better Business Bureau online at www.bbbonline.com
I also contacted the Apache Junction Police by email at jswart@ajcity.net but they're as responsive as she is so don't count on any return emails from them.
Please Peasy and any others...please, if you haven't already, file a report with all these organizations and write or call Apache Junction Police. We have to stop her.
And by the way...she's the one writing the positive comments on here about her website.
