I went to a fair in my home town and a woman had a booth for her business which was photography. I got my daughters picture taken with her at the special rate and then later called again to have them taken at a whinery. I paid up front for the photo’s and she said it would take two weeks. I spent 185.00 on the pictures and the check was cashed two days later. After the two weeks i tried calling her to check on the status of the pictures. No one would answer and i left messages. Soon however the phone wouldn’t even go to a voicemail it says “The person you are calling is unavailble at this time, please try again later” I did this three months, and still haven’t heard from the woman. I don’t have any other way to contact the lady and still don’t have my pictures, who do i report this to?
I did pay with a check and called my bank but they said once it has been cashed there is nothing they can do
I also have tried to get an address for her, i’ve done people searches and so on, can’t get any number other then the number of the “business” I don’t see how it could be a scam, she took the pictures two different times, the first time she gave them back and so i had them taken again. UGH Makes me so mad!
