When I be came a avon rep I had this person Patricial Hooper add her self to my email list. She wait about 3 month before she order from me. She said she lived in Florida and would traveling to Alabama to work and if I would order her some avon she would send me the money. I put in the order and waited for the check to come and the next thing I knew she sent a check for 1970.00 now it was a cashier check off a AZ Bank. First thing I thought you have got to be kidding. Then she gave this long story about the Pa sent to much money!! Ya right then I went on line and looked up her name and it came up on Ripoff Report that she had scamed a Mary Kay Rep. The sad part to me is she uses God's name at all most every ending. These are just some of the emails she sent me I sure hope this helps to shut there scam down!!!

I am also an avon rep and was recently contacted by Debra Bean to place an order. She used the exact same wording as is in the initial complaint. I'm so glad this was posted or I may have fallen for her scheme. Below is the most recent email she sent. Please note, this should ve reported to the US Postal Inspector as Mail Fraud. For good measure i have also filed a complaint with the FBI at IC 3.gov and my local police department is holding the check she had sent in evidence for (hopefully) prosecution.
