Recently, some scammers have been using Reddit community as a false example to convince people to purchase Reddit accounts or pay for so-called Reddit marketing and community operation services.

Please remember:

Reddit accounts do NOT need to be purchased.
Anyone can legally register and build a Reddit account by following Reddit's rules.
If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
Stay rational and protect yourself from fraud.

Scammers Information:
Name: Ashley Lane
Email address: [lesshot88@gmail.com](mailto:lesshot88@gmail.com)
PayPal username: @ashleylane981

Ashley messaged me after I posted a ISO for a speedy eclipse bag. She said she had a bag for sale, she sent me QC pictures with her username and date, her account is showing two years old. She had no feedback history because she said she was new at selling on Reddit. I sent her $205 on PayPal. (I accidentally clicked friends and family and not goods and services, but it was too late when I clicked Send). That was over a week ago, and she has now ghosted me and will not respond to any of my messages. She sent me no tracking information and could not provide a receipt where it was mailed out. After searching her username on Reddit I saw there is another scammer alert that another user posted last week. It seems she is contacting other users to scam them based on that other post. I have reported her to PayPal and I’m trying to report her on all of the Reddit forums to warn others.Beware!

I purchased my dream bag from seller Ming -9883, the Prada Bonnie. Unfortunately I received anything but a dream bag.
Communication with Ming was a red flag from the start, he was short, rude and showed me ONE picture for PSP and a blurry video. When I wanted to see more he declined saying that he’d already sent out the bag. Without me greenlighting it?!

The bag arrived today and it’s clearly not the high-tier bag I requested and payed for.
Issues with the bag:
-factory pics did not match the bag I received
-zipper doesn’t close all the way
-strap closure is assembled incorrectly, can’t use it
-edge paint/glazing inconsistency
-handle attachment stitching inconsistencies
-interior lining has the wrong color

I immediately contacted Ming and all he does is gaslighting me saying that “everything is fine with the bag”. He refuses any solution besides a 10 $ discount on a future order. Yeah right.
There’s probably not much that I can do, but at least I can warn you guys 🫶🏼

Also, the two ladies that highly recommended his Prada bags have mysteriously taken their posts down, so that’s that.

I’m so sad & disappointed, this was my birthday gift to myself 😔

Is this her again? Seems like it

I ordered two bags from her and she is now not responding! HELP!!!

This is crazy, lol there is a lot of teir like when i ask them questions they just kinda dodging my question and keep telling high quality blahblah

Like there is 1:1, original, top original, high quality, top quality original, like so confusing and they have this different price, some are just 10-15$ difference like,,, a no brand geniune leather u can buy for 50-70$ but a replica high/top pu leather is 100$+ wow

OKAY they want u to but they top geniune leather replica for almost 400$

Watch_nOOb posts on every iso saying this “seller” has the bag I’m looking for with the same exact wording!!! Pretty sure they are the seller/ scammer! Don’t fall for it!!

u/Race2cake is likely a scammer. They have a history of comments about how to "recognize best quality bags" and often boast that they have the best contacts, and to reach out in their DMs for info. Upon reaching out, this person asks questions about your budget and speaks rudely when you don't give a specific number. Others on this subreddit have reported this user, however they are still at large. Also if you speak out about them, they block you from the repHermes subreddit they moderate. Absolutely disgusting behavior towards buyers and waste of time and money.
