Ether way, I do know you will get what you are expecting from 1AM. So you will end up with at least one decent doll for sure.

That's what I'm hoping for him.

hi all, I just tracked Naomi and she is in San Francisco, she will be here in a few days!!! im a hoping for a good result!

I'm hoping this turns out to be some fortunate fluke and you do get a high-end doll for your price
That would be so amazing. Your seller would be inundated with requests.
Here's hoping for a good result, whatever it is

Yep Naomi was stolen by the shredder and mutated

Hey, I recognize her. She's a Natasha (not quite a rose) by another name.
1AM has a version of her (face1): http://iamdollusa.com/dolls/solid/TC1101/natasha.html
Her value is about $395; priceless if you like her. It looks like you've already unwrapped her, so I guess you're meaning to keep her.

Thanks for sharing your experience.

Bait and switch indeed, as expected. And yeah, this is the same doll 1am sells as Natasha, for much less than what you payed.

So they show a multi-thousand dollar doll, and deliver a cheap doll while asking almost twice the amount of money the doll actually costs. A double scam.

Best of luck on getting the refund, will be curious to see their reply.

I think I'd request all $528 back because what the scam artist did is illegal. And if they want the doll they shipped back, they pay for return shipping up front.

I should have listened to you guys in the first place, im such a schmuck. I have been bamboozleud I dont know why I give pople the benefit of the doubt, especially when it comes to dead presidents. I dont know what to do now. the seller is saying this: Dear friend: I told you, I'm not full silicone products, we are with PP cotton. I would not make you money, if you don't like it, you can refund the doll. thank you Do you want me to refund $: 400. Let me lose too much, our family had no rice to eat. Most give you a refund $: 200. If you don't agree, please put the goods, return to me. Thank you verpopy much! good luck!
wtf, I talked to my bank and I dont want to say its fraud because I placed the order, and I dont want his kids to go without "rice" but this is not right. damn money, I wish I had enough that I didnt care, or it didnt affect me. this sucks.

Cut your loses and move on.

The seller is not honest, you KNOW that now.

If you send the doll back, who knows if you will get a refund?

You might end up with no doll and no money.

Chalk it up as a learning experience. Next time you ask for advice, follow it.

Because that was your first gut instinct, to get advice. So listen to your gut next time. It would have saved you some $.

By the way, I think the real reason you went ahead and ordered the doll against forum members advice, was due to a mistaken belief that you could simply dispute the charges and get the money back right away.

Many people seem to have this misconception nowadays.

That might be the real lesson learned here.

It's not always so simple as 'just disputing the charges'. An investigation will follow.

ks,
in a way your right but in others your off. I have to use a crappy phone that lags for days to use the internet, as I dont have a connection. I have never been a part of a forum before and learning to navigate it using this dinosaur phone has been painstakingly difficult. yes I will take whatever I can and cut my losses, but I sincerely thought that there must be factories that turn these dolls out and that there was a cheaper route. this post alone has tsken 10 miniutes to type becase of my crappy phone. I have learned my lesson and I will put another mark on my list of things to do when I get rich, ( make lifesized dolls that are available and affordable). Im at a pretty hard spot in my life right now and it is sad how people are so ready to rip others off. I have a song about it called "dead presidents"
blessings.
