Miss Bri, Jillintexas, Black Tack, OTF , Onyx - I missed you too. Things have been ok, busy, with the farm and the other family business. I hardly ever go to COTH, either. It doesn't help that I am (still) a complete computer/technotard, on dial up..... Thank you for asking, Fred is doing fine. Scotchie got grinched ? I'd be happy to help degrinch too.

I'm thinking Scotchie has hit the mother lode!! .Scotchie, do you happen to like cheese? This is what I'm good at and would love to send a care package. I'm vacationing until Monday the 19th but I can come up with a doozie of a good time after that. Let me know your thoughts so I can plan.....

Quick update, I've asked five people to contribute to Scotchie's de-grinching. Thanks to EVERYONE who wanted to help! I thought five was a good number (and I tried to limit it to people who actually participated in the SS ). |

I have read this read on a daily basis and thought long and hard about replying. I, too, do not post here and I understand how you all feel about people coming in and starting a conversation like this. I am sure I would feel the same way. Nonetheless, I feel that this was beyond a case of borrowing money and not paying it back. In June or July, Mellie suggested we get a baby gift for a fellow member of Aefvue. As there are over 30 of us, more than $900.00 was collected. At this same time, Mellie was excited about her new Iphone and we had a lengthy, very funny conversation about her new high thread count sheet and comforter. I am not saying she used our money, I am saying when your finances are not great, you don't buy expensive toys. As we are a very tight group, very little was mentioned about the baby gift. A few "what's going on" and a few "It's on backorder" type comments. It was not until December, that one of our group brought it up and found out the gift had never been sent. When we asked Mellie, she left. Each person who contacted her on Facebook to ask was immediately unfriended. As we began to get worried and angry, other members came forward who had loaned her money. Right now, the loans, outside of the blanket, total $1,900.00. Mellie also told me personally that she was totally shocked that MO would charge her board for her two horses for a month without telling her she was going to. She used that as her excuse for leaving Aefvue. Nonetheless, MO recounted telling her that she could not board her horses, and Mellie told the board that she was renting a little barn right by OM's and she was very excited. Another group member took in Mellie's three horses when Mellie had surgery and kept them in work and sold one of them. No board, no commission. Many of you will now be thinking that you are sick of all this. But to me, the money is huge. Not as huge as taking our trust and our friendship and then hurting us. Aefvue has been together for a long time. About 18 of the members have been to my house or farm. Five have spent at least one night, including Mellie. We thought we had something very unusual, and we were safe from Internet Stalkers. It is deeply disappointing and our hope is that no one else will be taken in. We all loved Mellie. She was a central member of our group. This is not something she has done for the first time. She has horses and she will do it again, so our hope is that none of you will be caught in the scam. I agree wholeheartedly that this is only one side of the story. Not one in our group can get a response to hear the other side. We pride ourselves on helping and supporting each other, and we would have helped her in any way that we could had she come and asked us to. |

I agree with Quinn, PB. You all must feel completely betrayed. I'm just confused and shocked. I must say the further this goes the more disappointed I get.

The whole Mellie portion of this thread has saddened me. I feel horribly for everyone that sent/loaned money or housed Mellie with no re-imbursement. But, I think the above comment is going a little far. Mellie had a drastic change in circumstances and it only takes a bit of conjecture to image a financial crisis. Maybe my mind needs to find some sort of reason for Mellie's actions, but at this point, saying she is a scam artist and will continue to be is harsh, IMO. Yes, it's harsh that she took people's money, that she betrayed friendship and trust, but is this a pattern with her or a person in bad place that made bad decisions? I really hope the latter...and until a pattern of scams/betrayals appears, my gullible self will believe that Mellie got lost and couldn't figure out how to right the situation and ran away instead of facing the consequences. Then again, maybe she is financially solvent, has always been, but enjoys using people and seeing how long it takes before they catch on. Only time will tell. In the meantime...I'm not sending money to any of y'all.

I'm going to close this thread down. Nothing new is being added, and all we're doing is beating around the bush. I don't want this turning into a witchhunt, like I said, and since it doesn't seem that anyone has anything new to contribute, let's call this preventative maintenance. Y'all are welcome to start a new Missing TOCers thread, but this one's going to ride off into the sunset. |
