QuoteReplyTopic: BEWARE of beautyhair365 Posted: February 01 2008 at 9:07am
I posted on the hairtrade section that i was looking for specific wefts. he contacted me on their and gave me his email address :beautyhair365@hotmail.com, his name is Wang Fei.
I thought he sounded very professional and trust worthy but he did ask for Western Union or Money Gram ( which many chinese manufacturers do) So i hesitated and for 1 week didnt send payment. Afteer one week he emailed me that they custom made my order anyways and that it was ready. I asked for confirmation of my order ( to make sure i was getting what i ordered) he was very responsive by email and MSN instant messaging. I payed with Money Gram and didnt give him the confirmation number until he promised he would ship that same day with DHL and send me a tracking. He promised . I gave him the confirmation and never HEARD BACK FROM HIM. He stole my $500.
So if you guys get sollicated by this guy ( also calls himself TOM), stay far away.
It really does Sourgirl ! you out of all poeple know that I cant help but fall into traps lately ( you've been reading about my ordeals). I never thought the hair bizz would be full of unthrustworthy poeple.
So you opted for hairlocs? are you happier than with GLs?

Beach Bunny don't feel bad. All totaled, I've been ripped off for over $1500. in overseas purchases. Unfortunately, the hair trade is full of scum bags. I've said it before, the internet desperately needs a type of
Better Business Bureau, like on Ebay. I would even pay a monthly charge to be informed regarding a seller.
My god ! it's such a shame ... it is a very profitable business for those who do it honestly... I dont understand why the need for scamming.
I wouldnt buy hair from Ebay but when i comes to clothing accessories and everything else I buy on Ebay I always make sure I pay with Paypal or at least a credit card processor. I thought I was wiser than that... guess not !
thanks Mokipono for sharing your experience, i dont feel like such a gaulible idiot now.

I wouldnt be frantic usually. But the condition of me releasing the funds was to have a tracking within the next 3 hours. Also he usually is on MSN everyday talking to me and the minute he got my funds: POOF vanished from MSN ... i find that a little strange and the more i wait the less likely I am to get my money or merchandise. besides its the chinese new year starting today and he is going to be gone for 2 weeks now ... ( thats how long their holiday lasts )
Maybe because of the holiday the order is delayed? I hope that you get your stuff. I have ordered from 3 vendors in Asia, and it's gone well with all of them. It's just a crapshoot, and no one takes credit cards in Asia which is frustrating.
I try to be as careful as I can ordering anything I have been a scam victim a few times. Yes Beach bunny I like them better so far, she did a great job with the install I can wear it in a pony tail even without the locs showing.
Currant method Hair locs.

I dont know why i would need to explain myself to you but here it goes: The salon that put my system in gave me 20' long hair. I asked for 24' and all they have done was screw me for more money claiming to be adding length. Since i no longer go to them, I am now looking to have my new stylist make my hair as long as I originally intended it to be.
Now, is there a law against spending more money on your hair because your system is new? last time I checked it was a free country and one could do whatever they wanted with their hair, money or whatever else they please.
You should know that I intend on replacing the whole system all together in a month or two ... because i hate the russian hair they gave me and it tangles horribly. So get ready to question that next ....

gosh beachbunny.....you've been through alot! I've been reading your posts and I hate to hear you still haven't found what you're looking for. I hope you find something that works for you! I just started wearing clip ins and haven't moved on to anything else yet...your posts are definitely helpful on what to do and not to do. That's why this board is so helpful....you hear about the good and the bad. Again, hopefully you'll fine the perfect hair for you.

Whoa. I wasn't attacking you in any way or asking you to explain yourself to me! I honestly was just curious about the search for new hair. I completely understand you wanting the hair you originally paid for. Sorry you took my innocent question in the completely wrong way.

xianghua Please dont take offense in my reply. I did take your post the wrong way because a few posts back i was questionned in the same manner by 2 other members which made me so angry because they implied that something was suspicious about me buying more hair...
Sorry for my harsh reply. Im . just trying to be happy with my hair and im almost there :)
Gatorfan, thanks for the good wishes. im glad anyone could benefit from my experiences this past month... i have definitely been thru a lot and seen the good the bad and the ugly, but now its mostly the good. I have found the right stylist, and im on the right track. something did come out of this, because this system helped me achieve results i never could with my previous install ( bonds).
im definitely learning a lot from this board as well. and if anything it is good to come here and find poeple just as obsessed with their hair as I am :)

Sherrie : still no sign from him. he wont answer my emails, he has taken me off his MSN Buddy list and I sent him a fake email solliciting a new order which he answered right away to... so I have been scammed. Im taking the adequate steps not to let him get away with that. obviously i cant get my money back so I might just as well get him in a hell of a lot of trouble with authorities in his country. I know someone in Ganzhou china who is willling to help me file a report and money gram also is taking a deposition. But i have been had !!! my money is gone and so is this guy !!!
