She said sorry she would have to go.
Now part of me is feeling sorry for her and my ranting about my money back and the other half is wondering if Im being taken for a fool again and this was her way to get me off the phone?!?!?!
I have had a few private mails from a few of you girls saying you have had problems with this woman too, so now I dont know what to think.
I am not heartless, if she is truely ill then I wouldnt wish that on anyone, but if not - am i really this gullible????
We will see if this chq arrives....maybe that will tell me something!
I have heard that phrase so many times....i hope it goes well for you...it sounds like a scam to me though...i would feel no guilt for her,but then i do not suffer fools gladly

I had a similar thing happen to me recently. I went to a Tupperwear party in Feb, got my order in March with one small item missing.
It took months of phoning, emailing, more phoning, more emailing... about 2 weeks ago the lady finally contacted me saying her sister is ill in hospital and that has been all consuming for her.

I said, "I'm sorry to hear that, hope your sister gets well soon & when will I have my item". She said she'll send it out right away.

2 weeks later nothing, so I phone Tupperwear who contacted her and the item came 3 days later.

It is unfortunate the lady you're dealing with is ill... but once upon a time she wasn't and it should have no bearing on her integrity what so ever. For all you know, she could be gravely ill!! But she can be gravely ill with integrity or gravely ill and not do what she said she will do by when she said she would do it. Depends on what type of ill person she chooses to be.
I hope it all works out for you, Good Luck

I have been asked by a friend to make sure that everyone is aware that the Tammy Taylor distributor is based in ABERDEEN, SCOTLAND.

Your are right about being ill with integrity or not, for what I can gather from various people who have dealt with this woman, she is ALWAYS ill, whether it be true or not, she should not be in business.

I have had a response from Tammy Taylor, who is working through my emails at the minute. She is sending - via another distributor - my Prizma powder free of charge (or not, since I have actually paid for it), BUT the gesture of goodwill from the TT Company itself is very much appreciated.

At the very least then, I can have a little closure there, as I doubt it would have come to that with this woman!

Thanks everyone for reading this thread, and for your private messages too.
If this thread has made one person avoid this woman, then that is satifaction enough for me!!

Just so I can have total closure on this sorry mess....

I thought I would post and let you all know that I went in passed this lady on the off chance she would be in, and she was, and I finally received my money back.....10 months later.

I feel again, a little stab of guilt as she was so nice to me, but I know I shouldnt.

Anyways, done and dusted.

THE END

Hi there,

I have just read through this thread and can't believe what I'm reading. I'm shocked that scams like this happen in our industry. And even if it wasn't a scam and things just got too much for her (which could have made her ill?) she should've asked for her daughters help a long time ago.

Being a distributor of a reputable company means you need to act professionally at all times (even more so than usual!), and if she was struggling, she should have asked the company for help too.

I do feel sorry for the lady if she was/is ill, but it does make you think, considering you are not the only person this happened to, and makes your judgement go in one direction!

I am glad you got everything sorted, and I really hope this doesn't happen to me, or to anyone else! It's a big shame that you had to go through it in the first place.

D* xXx

Feel sorry for her?

Come on. You were in her face and she was caught and that is why you got paid .. had you not called in and caught her, you would still be waiting.

This distributor was mentioned to me the other day - how weird I should come across this thread.

No one wishes people ill health and we all know it happens - but that's not the point. You wanting your money returned was not a PERSONAL issue on this woman being ill, it was BUSINESS - and too many mix the two.

She took your money and she should have delivered - she didn't - FACT! I would stay clear and deal with companies who are on the end of the phone no matter what!
