A Warning about Scammers

I've had alot of great experiences with swaps.....and some not so great ones. My message is clear to everyone, BE CAREFUL. There are sadly lots of creeps out there. Please heed my advice about swapping so that you don't get burned like myself and so many other have. Get the word out there about bad people like this.
BEWARE of firydust01!

I WILL be filing a report to YouTube. I WILL be filing a report with my local police. This has to be stopped. Now.

5 minutes of reading.... thats to long....

[Dollface22772]

@SimsTjejen you certainly don't have to read it...but you'd there is good information in there

Ive never done swaps-never will.But had to count my losses w/ a couple of BIG YT gurus w/over 15k+ subs &many YT vids. I sent some of my jewelry they selected for a review,they got what they wanted & dont do what they promise.For those still interested in swaps:mail letters back & forth 1st. 2)the 1st swap should be under $20 to be safe.3)Use tracking 4)Get ph#'s-talk to each other. 5) If it fails- inform the YT community on all their info address',ph #'s,email etc.So no 1 else can be scammed.

@Prettypinks3000 Yep, it definitely sucked getting scammed out of your hard earned money, that's for sure. There are alot of great people out there though, that are honest and genuine and are perfectly fine when it comes to doing swaps, as long as you heed my advice with tips on swapping. This girl mentioned in the video, is "supposedly" sending my stuff back to me, but I won't hold my breath on it

You're nail art is amazing, but things like this makes you not want to trust anybody in the youtube community.

[Dollface22772]

@noonic23 I know. But there are some really great and trustworthy people here, you just have to be careful

@MsMaysWorld No, her/his channel still exist! TY dot com /user/firydust01

[Perik022]

@Perik022 I mean for both parts, me if the shipping never arrives to my country and the person who trusted me her adress keep the package and she untrusting of my deal, I didn't want a swap, I was going to pay for MY things. But now I see why...Thanks for the tips...I'll kepp them in mind! XOXO

[Perik022]

OMG! that's terrible! I'm so sorry to hear such an awful thing. I try one to make a purchase on e-bay, but the problem was that my country's coustoms costs me a fortune, so I desided to ask someome of this comunity to handle me their adrees so i can send my purchase there and they'll send it to me i a way that customs doesn't charge me. For the amount of the shipping I was willing to pay them with a purchase of their choise, but now that I see this, I'm happy that noone wanted to make a deal.

I'm sorry to hear that. Can't you call the insurance company or something ? Btw im bit sure how to write insurance but i think you get what i mean.

[pippylippyful]

I am so sorry that a country woman of mine has treated you so badly,it almost makes me ashamed to be English.I only hope that karma bites her squarely on the backside.

[triplethreat0824]

Wow I'm so sorry about that. You spent a lot on that package. Thank you so much for sharing this messege!

PS You live in NY? ME TOO!!!

[princessdiamond123]

I'm soooo sorry this happened to you on YT...you didn't deserve this and like myself I've been taken advantage of b4 by someone I thot I knew and trusted in another situation but it is /was a hurtful experience and I sympathize with you...but "what goes around will come back around" for those bad ppl, you are the better person here and I am grateful for this info. that you've shared with us...sending Many Blessings to You & hugs to comfort your Heart! xoxo

[samoosmama]

Thank you sooooooo much I'm new to youtube, just starting out with swaps...you are so kind to do this...btw I just subscribed

[MsMaysWorld]

I meant to say the channel doesn't exist anymore, correction..

[MsMaysWorld]

btw, it seems that firydust01 channel doesn't exist, but she probably changed her name. You know, come to think of it, she might have been selling the stuff you got for her considering they don't get it in UK.
