The Collectory ,Sarah Soltani and Adriana Angelini, are a fraudulent business Beware of these scammers; they will take your money and you they send you an empty envelope San Francisco California
I purchased a $40,000 Birkin from a scamming business called 'The Collectory (www.the-collectory.com) She told me the only payment option they offered was a wire transfer, and I foolishly transferred the money into their bank account. A couple of days later they emailed me a tracking number, which appeared to relate to a delivery to an address outside Boston. Initially I thought this might be a USPS error, but then the tracking status changed to 'delivered'. And I sure as hell had not received my $40,000 Birkin.
The tracking number referred to a letter (NOT a parcel) deliberately sent to a different address for no other reason so that these scimbag thieves could supply me with a tracking number and claim my parcel had been misdirected. When I tracked down this letter, the business it had been sent to said it was just an empty envelope.
I rang them and asked them to explain and they feigned ignorance. They then obviously immediately blocked my telephone number as every single call I subsequently made remained unanswered.
I reported this to my bank and the FBI.
Beware! They will steal your money and send you an empty envelope.
