Claire's Bowtique (Amiee McCarty Sima) Amiee McCarty Sima Conartist, Scammer, and overall BAD person. Internet
I hardly know where to begin!
First of all this seller has been banned on TWO Etsy accounts and ONE Ebay account for scamming people. Then like several other scammers Ive encountered she moved to Facebook. Afterall everyone has Facebook, right?
Anyone who leaves negative comments or anyone who ask about that order one too many times is banned from the Claire's Bowtique fanpage. She then sends threatening Facebook messages to the person claiming she is reporting them and all of there messages to the police for harassment and that she is filing a restraining order. Seriously, over the internet?? For asking about your order??
Once you block Amiee she will then start harassing you from another account. She has several that she uses. One is suppose to be her Grandmother's Facebook, Joyce Fitts, but under further inspection you will see that Amiee is the one who made and updates the Facebook. She even says so herself. It's supposedly a Facebook page made for her Grandmother to connect with the family members and maybe it was really used for that at first, but she has added several other boutiques. The website listed is also Amiee's banned Etsy account.
While many popular Facebook based boutiques have long waiting periods, Claire's Bowtique takes the cake. Items never sent and items probably never even existed.
Claire's Bowtique also raised hundreds of dollars for a little girl who was terminally ill. People also sent in donations of blankets and bows. The family never received any of this to my knowledge and the little girl ended up dying. Photos have been spotted of Amiee's daughter wearing some of the donated bows.
Amiee is famous for her bad mouth. She uses vulgar language in a violent fashion towards anyone who second guesses her. She also slanders people's names and sends out mass mailers telling people to delete who enemies.
Amiee is also a pathological liar. She claims that everyone who has a problem with her are all "friends" out to get her. When in truth she has spammed countless people. Let's also not forget the claims that she will report you to the police! Or everyone's favorite "Shipping tomorrow!".
Orders that are sent are low quality and never worth the insanely long wait or the money spent. Cheap materials and poor construction.
Amiee has also been found ordering from other sellers via Etsy and then upon receiving her items she will copy the item and sale her own knock off.
It's almost hard to understand how she keeps as many followers as she does. Guilt trips, pity parties, and false giveaways are often used to gain sympathy and support.

Really those are your "claims" um my ebay name is JEFFATHRB. You are a joke and you wont even say you were wronged AGAIN this site is for someone who was ripped off and they need to show proof of this under penalty of purgery. Why post on here is you cant even say whats going on! You are a coward that is just one of these other girls friends trying to gang up on me. It is such a joke that this site even allows people to write on here with no valid claim! I will be waiting for REAL proof of your claim and the person on the last "photo" got her certificate in the mail and emailed me to let me know that so good for you for finding nothing as you will continue to do!

Glad that my Ripoff Report and the other Ripoff Reports could help you! It's like I told her, she is only making herself look bad. Well actually, I guess making herself look worse. Have a nice night!

But not now! How can you run a business and behave like a little girl having a tantrum online when someone insults you? A true professional wouldn't react like that. I am SO glad I found this site. Whew!

Run away with my tail between my legs? That's funny. Nobody is making themselves look stupid except for you. Coming on here and running your mouth like someone in high school. Yet, you tell me to go back to grade school. It's fine Amiee keep making yourself look badly. I was ripped off. My order was placed months ago. No I won't post any further details unless a lawyer contacts me because you have a problem with stalking and harassment. It seems you are the one running away with your tail between your legs as I saw you were leaving Facebook (thank God). Posted that big long pity trip... too bad nobody feels sorry for you anymore. Everyone is laughing at you. I've gotten so many IMs, emails, text saying "Hey did you hear about Claire's??". You can keep coming back here and running your mouth all you like. I'm going to spend my time buying some cute items from HONEST sellers with GOOD quality items that will actually ship them!

My oh my you need to go back to grade school where you belong! NO ONE sent me any bows for donations I make them sweetie the only person taking donations of items was Angie. USA is a location but it asks for your city and state and typing "username" is for cowards. This website is for people who claim to be ripped off not idiots. If you are going to file a rip off report it makes you check a box that under penatly of purgery you are stating all information you post is true. You have yet to state that you have been ripped off or how which is what this site is for. Now if you still cant come up with that information I suggest you get your tail between your legs and walk away before you make more of a fool of yourself. Have a nice day!

I didn't post a fake location? Apparently you cannot read it says USA. I did not post a fake name either it's called a username. By coming on here and posting your crazy replies insulting people you are only proving everyone's point. You are the only liar. There are photos of your daughter wearing donated bows also. You didn't send in nearly half of what was donated.
