She promised me another item from her online shop, but kept making up excuses for not sending me anything. In between messages, she would fail to respond for weeks (or now, months) at a time. She has since refused to respond to my messages.

In between messages one of her profiles (the one from which she had originally contacted me) was deleted, and her shop was shut down for awhile (not simultaneously if I remember correctly). I should have taken it as a sign, but I didn't.

After giving up on my item I decided to do some research and see what I could find about the shop. Others have reported paying for her items without having received any items or responses to emails. Also, other online retailers have the same items but with consistently lower prices. MUCH lower. The mark up on Starr Styles is ridiculous! (ex: $15 dress for $50 at her shop).

This whole ordeal went from about August to December.
