Description

A lady reached out to me via Instagram from her business page stating that she was looking for brand ambassadors. I told her I was interested and that when I came back from out of town, we can proceed with the business deal. It took a while for me to reach back out because she changed her username on her business profile. When I finally reached out , she was VERY responsive. She told me it was a one-time fee payment of $20 so I sent her $21 (Cash app has a withdrawal fee)… Once I sent it, she told me the tracking information would be sent within 50 hours. It went way past 50 hours so I decided to reach out again. When I reached out, all of a sudden she says there’s a $10 shipping fee. I was confused because she never mentioned that in the beginning before I sent my payment. Long story short, she didn’t respond. So I texted her again requesting a refund. She didn’t respond once again, but was continually posting on her page how she was looking for brand ambassadors. I look back at my page, and now I am blocked. She blocked me on my personal page and business page.
