The dealer that cannot be named

I totally agree about the medal - time after time people have posted about their awful experiences saying "I thought this was a one off, that I was the only person it had happened to, I had done my due diligence and all I could find was glowing reviews" yet it took one brave lady who wasn't even currently owed money to start this group and just 4 weeks later we have a major police investigation and over 3,850 people taking comfort from the fact that they were not alone. Several have been refunded by their banks because of the volume of people reporting her fraud.
 
There was a post on one of the DD pages by someone who was basically shaming the victims for taking the horses on trial. Didn’t go down well. And then an ally of theirs joined in and said that the dealer in question had always been good with them, and ‘there’s two sides to every story.”
I nearly spat my tea out. So here are the “two sides”…
On one side we have a dealer and a few of her allies who seem to think it’s all the fault of the buyers.
On the other side we have dozens of people who have been treated appallingly, some who have been seriously injured by dangerous horses, plus a huge amount of money owed to them (currently totalling the best part of half a million quid.) And then there’s the people who sold their horses through this dealer - some of them are *very* unhappy!
Hmmm. Two sides to every story.

And of course we have the poor horses, passed around from pillar to post. The whole thing is utterly shocking.
 
For those of you who aren't bored with me banging on 🤣 tonight's news is that she might have been/is trading somewhere in Kent. Lady recognised pony called Tallulah/Rosie with very distinctive markings - which was being offered on trial:eek:. Horsequest have now pulled the advert. What does it take to stop this evil woman?:mad:😭
 
It is rather a pity that the identity of said dealer could not be shared, at least the public could be aware of what she looks like!

If that's the same post I saw I don't think that's an entirely fair representation of it. Tbh just because you don't agree with the trial aspect of it - I certainly still can't get my head round it tbh - doesn't mean you think the victims deserve what happened or that you are siding with the dealer.

I’m not sure it’s the same post. It was on a DD page and the person posting it turned off comments. They were basically criticising the FB page that has been set up as well as saying that people shouldn’t buy blind & some of the victims were disagreeing with her. Another person, commenting on the FB page, said ‘…at no point have these people thought about the facts, there’s one of her (ie the dealer) and hundreds of them and positive posts are not being shown it can’t go on forever these people need to find something else to do with time in the day now as it’s getting boring.’
In a follow up post the same person said ‘…she (ie the dealer) has always been good to me and people are forgetting that there’s only one side to the story on that page.’
It was the suggestion that there were actually two sides to the story that got me.
(And of course there’s a lot of negative stuff in the FB page because it was set up for the purpose of sharing people’s negative experiences! It’s just unfortunate that the person who commented was finding it all ‘boring’.)

Ah I understand now.

Unfortunately it won't necessarily help as there will likely be another dealer fronting for her now. Her bank has had to refund some folks (out of their own funds) and has had a large number of fraud reports so that account will almost certainly be frozen so she needs another dodgy to handle the money for her if she wants to still trade.

Did you see the bankruptcy number she has been sending to people?

I think the number she has provided, BKT5181064, is her reference. Nothing is showing on the insolvency register yet under her name or the business name.

SWSNBN clearly hasn't the brains to understand that filing for bankruptcy does not absolve her of her crimes.
