Moggie61 transaction [Moggie's Toyshop]

I thought of that, too. I know the site had been down for remodeling, but what's to keep them from reopening and selling to other unsuspecting people? It's really a sad, sad deal.

 

whitewings, how did your friend's trip to Moggie's store turn out?

Also, I just thought of this today: has anyone contacted Eyeco to find out if they've had any contact, or if they can do anything about our eyes? (I ordered over 45 days ago so it's too late to open a Paypal dispute, so I'm seeking out other options.)

 

I emailed Eyeco just then, now awaiting response. Will post here as soon as they reply.

Now we're just waiting on what whitewings' friend has to say.

Should we also contact B&G, AOD and other companies Moggie deals with?

 

Chiz --> Let me know what happens with eyeco. My order was for a pair of eyeco eyes but I doubt the order made it to eyeco itself =/

 

same here~ please let them know I had a pair too!

 

Here's the response I got:

I'm not sure what relevance that last bit holds for our problem. But it seems that Eyeco had no idea this issue with Moggie was going on. Let's hope they come up with a suitable solution for us people who ordered eyes.

 

That is interesting. He was apparently having problems as far back as spring.

As far as Eyeco coming up with a solution, it's not really their problem. They don't have to come up with any kind of solution to make it right because they didn't do anything wrong. While I think it would engender customer good will if they did do something to help those that ordered eyes from Moggie, I wouldn't expect them to. It's unfortunate, but much like my order from Dollzone, they never received it therefore they aren't responsible for fixing it.

Let's face it, we got screwed and unless Moggie comes back and makes good on it, we're still screwed.

 

I just thought of this now... Does anyone know if Innana has a Doa account name too? Has anyone tried to directly contact her and see what's going on?

I hope whitewings finds something too.

I want to add that I tried calling the number... but no luck. It wasn't in service. -_-

Tried Email Contact and this is what I got.... on two of them. One it makes sense the other... If he lists it and his profile exists then there should be an email involved.

 

Hoo, I have order some pairs of eyes to Moggie's toyshop (50$ amount) in 14th of May and I have wait for news but I have wait too long now.
It's very late for deposit paypal refund and dispute.
I have PM Moggie here too and I have not reply.
I don't undersand this situation. How do they know if all orders are okay ? then, how do making refund ? It's not a little money here !

 

I managed to open a dispute but it didn't matter, paypal couldn't return my money. Correct me if I'm wrong here, does it mean his paypal account is empty, that's why paypal couldn't help with refund? I would think that since he's offline he couldn't access his paypal account. Of course, I don't know how the refund business works, just speculating.

 

If there is no money in the account, Paypal usually will not refund the money. (I think the exception is when you bought something on ebay AND have buyer protection).

Most likely, Moggie's paypal account has been suspended - there are quite a few outstanding refunds.

Have you tried either contacting your bank or credit card company (depending on which you used) and asked them for a charge back?

 

Someone needs to get someone to shut down that webshop, I tried to make 'orders' from it and it still works. This will only collect more victims if its left as is. I hope paypal bars incoming money to its account since its suspended. But if I think like a criminal in another scenario, I'd change the paypal address on the site and the money still can go through. Don't mind me, I'm analytic.

 

Their ebay shop no longer exists...i dont think our chances of gettign our money back or our goods is very promising. Im not going to wait any more, im just going to reorder my eyes from eyeco. I was lucky i only ordered one small thing. All the best to those of you who spent a lot more. And Kagari my heart goes out to you, you lost your kids that must be so heartbreaking, id be devistated.
I think going to the police is probably the way to go, expecially if they have someones dolls!
Best of luck to you all!

 

I took the liberty to contact the host Listed here: http://www.imakewebsites.ca/contact/

His email is [email protected]

Here is what i wrote to him.

I wonder if many people complain or say something the server/host can disconnect the site temporarily. Temp for the sake of getting things resolved and getting everyones money and things.

 

Thanks for the info Jamiesama. I mailed a similar message off to the email address you provided.

 

OKidoki all....

Like I posted a few days ago I've taken steps here to find out what the heck is going on

I've rung the Warburton Police and issued my official concern, and explained the extent of the situation, they said they would be doing a "Wellfare Check" and unfortunately due to the privacy act they cannot give me any further information about Ian (Moggie) unless I am either related to him or in the event he has been contacted by them he gives them permission to discuss it with me. So either way I still do not know if he's alive or what...?

My girlfriend went to the address supplied on the website and said no-one was there and it looked like no-one had been there in a fair while. I've asked the Officer what the next step is for everyone involved to recover their money and their property, she is mailing me an information pack which should arrive in the next couple of days. I've informed the mods and now I'll have to wait untill the stuff arrives. My suggestion would be to contact your local police (if you are outside Australia) in the meantime and ask how to go about recovering funds from overseas. I personally am out of pocket also though according to my bank (NAB) there is little I can do about it except file for a reversal, though this requires the recipient to acknowledge in order to have it returned except extenuating circumstances or if its accompanied by a police report.

Sorry I cant be of more help but I WILL definitely let you know what the pack contains when it arrives.

 

Thank you so much whitewings, for all your trouble! As for the place looking like it has been vacant for a while... I just don't know what to say.

 

This is really sad..
But perhaps it's an idea to make an overview of what was ordered and paid. It might give the police departement perhaps a better overview of what they are dealing with.

 

Would it be more appropriate if this thread was moved to the "Feedback Section" or "Paging List" for those without marketplace access so they can view this? I will PM the mods and ask them whether this is something appropriate.

I pray the rest of you guys will be made good as it was freaakin stressful for us too. I was going to contact the police here too but I saw that that's already been done. If there's anything I can help further, with police statements, etc please let me know.

Also as an afterthought: If you had use credit cards (not through paypal) to make your payments, you are most likely able to get the transaction reversed and get your money back through your credit card provider/financial institution.

I made my payment through direct debit with my bank directly into their personal bank account (which I still have the details of) which was a stupid thing to do cause it's so bloody risky.

 

Oh my, now I can see that I'm just one of many screwed up...
I have ordered two dolls, Floy and Celine from DZ (both with white skin and fullset - they were going to be my first BJD!) through Moggie (through eBay). I was totally devastated when I found out that it was to late for dispute and there was no response from Moggie. It seems I have lost a lot of money (exactly $1260 paid on April 25th 2008). I have chosen him as back then there was no DZ agent for Poland and he had had a very good reputation...
After I could't contact with Moggie I wrote to DollZone. They wrote me not to worry and to wait.
Payment was done through paypal with use of credict card. Do you know if this is enough proof to report it somewhere (I mean - bank can provide statement that such amount of money was transferred to him)? In example to my local police? Would they be able to do anything at all?
Or do you have any other ideas as what we can do?
Because I think we all must try our best to solve this problem. If we count everyone who paid and got nothing, that would be just enormous amount of money that was - unless Moggie suddenly comes back and so on - stolen.
