Ive noticed it says closed until further notice and nobody can write on her instagram posts either its strange

Ohhh really! Definitely requesting to get my money back then! What a knob to do that to people!

Warning: scammer!

Anyone else ordered from this scammer? I ordered something 45 days ago and never received a thing! Thankfully I put a dispute in and got my money back!

 

[antisocialmedia]

Wow! That’s not good at all, yes she is very very quiet no stories nothing not even of her packing, making etc. I think I’m definitely going to PayPal about my money

I did too, I got my money back sharp

 

[antisocialmedia]

It’s disgusting I eventually got a refund not by her though, had a big message saying she had been diagnosed with cancer and that she wasn’t ripping anyone off and that everyone had been refunded. Absolutely full of shit for her to take everyone’s money no matter how big or small the amount and then to not even send items knowing they are presents etc...
she sent me numerous messages about payment being due on the 2nd etc knowing full well she wasn’t making the items.
I really think Instagram and Facebook need to do some kind of verification with companies especially ones that handle food for them to prove that they are a registered business and registered with environmental health!

She is full of shit, I can guarantee she's lying about that too

 

[Budgiesmuggler]

Glad you managed to get your money back at least! She’s a disgrace. F*cks it up for all the decent business out there

Thank you! It really does, I’d be really hesitant to buy off an insta business again that’s for sure!

She’s more than just a scammer. She’s vile. She’s now making out she’s got cancer. God forbid she actually has cancer because I wouldn’t wish that on anyone however with ALL THE LIES she spews on a daily it wouldn’t surprise if it’s just that, a blatant lie. She ALWAYS plays the victim about how she’s a mum of x amount of kids and just trying to earn money to pay the bills yada yada yada which is the reason a lot of people buy from her despite the negative reviews, she’s “relatable” and people do think “ah that won’t happen to me”. This woman has been taking orders for halloween and Christmas pretty much since summer and I just knew she was gonna come out with an excuse not to fulfil orders. The way she works is she takes orders and only fulfils 10% of them so that there’s still a positive buzz about her on social media and there’s content for her stories etc. She tops that up with sending out freebies to big accounts. Leaving the majority of paying customers with no products and out of pocket. Be wary of people without a website, be wary of people that give bank transfer as a payment option or “friends and family” on PayPal. It’s garbage that people like her f*ck it up for other incredible businesses on social media.

I couldn’t agree more. She had all the sob stories with me I think there’s a way you can open a
Case for fraud investigation I think it would be wise if we all did it. My daughter was asking for weeks where her things was. Gutted

She's a nasty piece of work, I haven't personally ordered as I'm more than happy with a cadburys bar but I've seen messages to people I know. She needs to be shut down for fraud.

 

[Cbb1993]

I’ve been scammed too.. fobbed me off with different stories every week. Said she would refunded me still nothing so going to chase with bank found out she’s not even got a certificate for hygiene so I’m kind of glad. Probably tax dodging too needs a case building for fraud. Will contact bank for refund.

 

[Ras45]

She posted these the other day, people have obviously been talking...

 

[Aberdeen Rock]

Thanks for the heads up xx

Why do you keep ordering from her?

they were pre orders for xmas that i claimed my money back for the other stuff i ordered about 3 mths ago and she never sent and I believed her everytime I messaged her when she said she was gonna send them out but i cudnt get the money from paypal for the ones before I preordered cus it had gone over the claim time and because i first used her year before for xmas presents and the actually came

She posted these the other day, people have obviously been talking...

I saw that on her story this morning i think quite a few people have requ there money back

How is this woman still in business?? She is shocking!!!

I didnt even know that other people hadn’t received there orders till i googled a review for funkies and i saw loads of bad reviews i shud of done that earlier

Ohhh really! Definitely requesting to get my money back then! What a knob to do that to people!

I brought brownies off her website but didnt pay by paypal but by my bank card could i claim them back from bank if i got in touch with them the other stuff i ordered i paid thru paypal and opened a claim and still waiting

 

[Budgiesmuggler]

She is full of shit, I can guarantee she's lying about that too

I think she is too!

 

[Kelrob3]

I ordered back in june
Still nothing received to date
Kept telling me it had been sent out
She has now had the cheek to block me from her account!!! Luckily Natwest have refunded me my money. She is a liar! Do not order please

 

[Budgiesmuggler]

Well I still have no refund, escalated now and I will be getting in touch with trading standards too about her!

 

[Budgiesmuggler]

Has she deleted her Instagram page now??

I think it’s still there but it’s name has changed to closed

Wish I saw this post a while ago I've had a £52 pre order for Christmas she now has conned me out of with no replys from emails and messages now leaving it to paypal to hopefully get me money back so upsetting as they was all to go with my families Christmas presents.

I had the same £90 worth of preorders for Christmas, she literally Chased me for payment but ignored my messages asking for a refund. When she finally replies said she had refunded everyone and had no disputes open and that she had been diagnosed with cancer but it’s not serious
I escalated with PayPal and got a full refund off them. It’s disgusting that she has conned so many people.
PayPal will refund you Hun I can imagine they have had to refund everyone via the resolution center

 

[Gemmiebear]

I’ve ordered from her for this Christmas! Seriously hoping she’s had fixed up and is to her word! Guess time will tell

Me too ive ordered about £70 worth for xmas presents

 

[Savyglasweign1994]

This is happening to so many people via Instagram.
My advise to people is to open up a PayPal case and don’t close it until she sends proof of postage.
Don’t believe anything she says. She’s a manipulative liar
Don’t back down.
Make a post on Instagram to make others aware.

I paid by bank transfer two weeks before Easter and never received. I asked many times for proof of postage, I was then sent a whole month later a screen shot of a scribble signature (not mine) that did not show an address or name and was told it had been delivered. I was on holiday in Turkey at the time! My mum was checking the house everyday for me, Funkies then implied that my Mum had stolen the parcel, the parcel that was never sent. I’ve taken this to the small claims court. It’s cost £25 to make the claim but I spent £60 on Easter chocolate gifts that were never received. After taking it to the small claims I was also made aware they are not a registered company or hold food hygiene certificates.

No they are not. If you get an address please let me know as I would like to report them to the relevant agencies

Ive just had email from paypal and they are going to refund money back of the stuff I purchased for xmas and i got the money back for the halloween brownies i ordered

How is this woman still in business?? She is shocking!!!
