We were actually contemplating not saying anything at all just from the sheer exhaustion of this whole episode. Then we thought about it and realized that alot of our followers on Instagram and FB are small businesses just like us, and even if one person is saved from the wickedness of this person then it will be worthwhile. The person ordered stuff for almost R500 with a fraudulent POP from Discovery Bank. I know the amount is negligible, but the Principle of the matter isn't. The POP looked authentic so we didn't suspect foulplay, I mean who defrauds a dog cake vendor right🤔
She even attempted to get us to pay the Uber driver as well, kid you not.
Her modus operandi, which we initially thought to be a syndicate, turned out to be her operating as different individuals. When we realized the money never came into our account, this person still thought it was funny to lead us down a rabbit hole by profusely apologizing and promising to rectify asap. Then saying her employee is on their way with cash. Nothing materialized.
I did ponder who would watch their innocent fur babies enjoy their birthday cakes acquired through unscrupulous means, then said, I'll let karma lead her down her own rabbit hole.
She even wanted a normal sweet birthday cake for her mum, and had we not been busy, we would have obliged. Even referred the business to someone else and so glad that this lady figured we caught onto her before she placed the order and got away with that as well.
Hence this post. Surely this is not an isolated incident, she is going around doing this and getting away with it. Well I hope the buck stops here Missy!
She is on both platforms but I unfortunately cannot tag her cos she has private profiles.
She goes by the name of RENELDA RENÉ, her alter ego is called Rikesh, go figure(funny story for another day when we can actually laugh about this).
Uber was delivering to Longbury Drive in Phoenix. She uses multiple numbers posing as different members of her staff.
Please be aware of this person and don't be scammed🙏🏽
That's basically my message.
Sorry that I didn't cut a long story short.
