Pamela Ann Author (Pamela Ann Books) - Pamela Banas A scammer who steals and cheats! United States, California Internet
Pamela (Ann) Banas organised an event called "The Book Affair" and it was suppose to be held on 18 April 2015, at London Marriott Grosvenor Square (UK). She asked 2 volunteers to help plan the Facebook's group and so on, while she collects the ticket money. She advertised the event as a book signing event with many famous authors attending... so readers or fans can socialise with them.
Pamela then started an eventbrite event and told interested participants to buy their tickets there. Here's the URL:
http://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-british-book-affair-tickets-11140464429
The VIP tickets were all sold out (each costing £125.00) and numerous other 'ordinary' tickets were sold. It is believed that lots of revenue was raised from just this event.
THEN she started her pattern of games: she started telling her organisers to post in the Facebook Group that a number of book authors weren't able to turn up. Over time, more and more authors mysteriously couldn't 'turn up'. We later found out that these authors weren't even aware of this book signing event. Pamela made it all up.
The worst part? She ran off with all the ticket money she's collected. She even deleted her personal profile so no one would be able to find her.
Of course, we manage to find her personal facebook profile recently and we messaged her. After she read our message her profile was deactivated.
What's left is her official facebook group:
https://www.facebook.com/PamelaAnnBooks/
We tried to warn the others by posting in the visitor's wall. She removed them almost instantaneously. We then decided to simply comment on each visitor's post. She immediately disabled the option to comment on other people's post. She then blocked us.
This scammer has gone too far. If she is innocent, she would have replied our messages or defend herself. Instead, she just blocked and silenced us.
We also found out that she's an American living in California. And she's selling various other books in Amazon. Some customers have been complaining of not receiving their pre-ordered books and so forth. I urge others to be wary of her. If any one reading this is a vigilante, you are welcome to take her down.
