He won his case.<br /><br />Just thought this might be of interest for some people on this blog, since similar things seem to have been done by the object of this whole blog - BRM<br /><br />http://www.ajc.com/news/ga-man-awarded-404-809868.html?cxtype=rss_newsmichaelahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01684841618843895111noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4948212285742157407.post-24598388734264046382010-08-06T18:14:00.000-07:002010-08-08T15:21:11.183-07:00Qustions...questions....questions...So, I forgot all about this blog (well, kinda), until people started posting again.<br /><br />So, here are some questions off the top of my head:<br /><br />- Why is Michael Black'' using the exact same wording as Barbara in some of the comments I've seen him make on the web?<br /><br />- According to Barbara's good friend Anne Windham Barbara was marrying Michael Black in June - how come she's still living alone with her mother in Loganville?<br /><br />- How come her name is still Barbara McLuin, since McLuin was a previously married name and not her maiden name? Wouldn't it be pretty disrespectful to the new husband to keep the last husband's last name?<br /><br />- How come Anne Windham moved West a while ago, but just last month she was assistant to Michael Black, helping him with the transition?<br /><br />- How come neither Barbara McLuin, nor Michael Black have their business registered with the Georgia Secretary of State?<br /><br />- How come on the Enchanted Mirror website Michael Black (falsely?) states that he's the owner of the store since 07/09/10, on another site he claims that he's the owner since 07/01/10 and an email by 'Antoinette' (one of Barbara's aliases) claims that the sale is postponed until August 31st? <br /><br />- How come Barbara....er..Antoinette..sent an email to Claire (Whitewingdove) within 5 minutes of me approving Claire's post, when she's hardly ever online (yet, she's still signed up to receive posts and comments from this website?<br /><br />I'm sure there are many more questions that will come up......<br /><br />---------------------<br /><br />Response to Barbara's/Anonymous' comment below : Barbara, there are only 4 followers of the total blog, includg myself, and you're one and I know the other 2 , so don't even pretend that that's not you writing.<br /><br />And of course B. Henderson is not your mother and you've never known W. Rose. Of course, of course.....And I guess your 'friend' Anne (also current assistant to 'Michael Black')(and she's of course also recently married (double wedding with you?) and is now 'helping' Michael Black long distance, since she moved out west) lied when she advised in a post that you were going to marry Michael Black in June. Of course, we all believed 'her' (eye roll). <br /><br />As to my life - I have been working smart and honest (as opposed to being a cheat and a liar) and karma has been good to me. I work maybe 10-15 hours per week and have plenty of time to play. So, I have extra time to bring down cheaters. Have even worked together with the FBI on some things. I do get some joy out of it, what can I say ;-).<br /><br />Custody? Divorce? ROFLMAO - where do you come up with that stuff? ;-)michaelahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01684841618843895111noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4948212285742157407.post-38587486165783169062010-04-29T17:45:00.000-07:002010-04-30T08:38:50.649-07:00different personalitiesSince I have to approve the comments before they show, I notice that they all come in clusters. What's curious is that there are usually 3 or 4 clustered together, written just within minutes of each other, and which sometimes refer to one of the other messages, even though they haven't been approved, yet - so nobody else can see them. <br /><br />Such is the case on the blog titled 'Enchanted mirror and the BBB'. There was a post by Stephanie who claimed that she had received her products, but she was embarrassed about the recent 'cow' comment. The cow comment was actually a post that came in just a few minutes before Stephanie's and which I didn't approve and which Stephanie couldn't have seen. Then right after that 'anonymous' wrote in, congratulating Stephanie on her having received her products (anonymous couldn't have seen Stephanie's post yet) and also showed concern about the 'cow' comment. So, obviously all three comments were written by the same person, as only the same person would have known about each post. <br /><br />So, we have the same person writing positive reviews for Barbara's shop and also writing nasty comments about Barbara, to gather sympathy and make it look as if someone else does it.<br /><br />Pretty pathetic, if you ask me.<br />------------<br /><br />edit: it seems that some people still can't comprehend: There was another 'cow' comment posted 2 minutes before 'Stefanie' posted, it would have shown right above her post, if I had approved it - but I didn't. And 'anonymous' post to Stefanie was posted 2 minutes after 'Stefanie's, except she couldn't have seen Stefanie's post, because I hadn't approved it yet, it was still in my email waiting for my approval.<br /><br />And 'anonymous' post refers to 'cow post(s)' plural , so she clearly knew about the 2nd cow post and she knew of Stefanie's post, even though neither one of them was showing on the site at the time that she was writing it.michaelahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01684841618843895111noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4948212285742157407.post-35131797910473230562010-04-05T17:20:00.000-07:002010-04-06T14:34:54.311-07:00Enchanted Mirror on BBBOk, so I've been quiet for a while, since I've gotten my refund (which doesn't make the fraud go away. She advertised the shipping time as 3-4 weeks for the item, which she knew she couldn't deliver. )<br /><br />Anyway, now I'm finding out through someone writing a comment, that she has started a new Better Business Bureau Profile with some different information, in order to circumvent the negative profile her company already has with the BBB. And she's using that fake profile as a link from her site, to make potential customers think that there haven't been any complaints.<br /><br />Obviously another type of fraud, that she's using to try to lure unsuspecting people into her web of deceit. I'm sure there are a number of us that have now notified the BBB of this and we'll keep our eyes on this.<br /><br />------------------<br /><br />update - the fraudulent BBB site has been taken down by the BBB. She was also informed that it's illegal to use the BBB logo, unless you're an accredited member of the BBB. And that link has been taken down from her site as well.michaelahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01684841618843895111noreply@blogger.com15tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4948212285742157407.post-22116314727522448332010-01-08T21:14:00.000-08:002010-01-08T21:18:07.900-08:00Barbara,you better read "Kearney v. Salomon Smith Barney" . I have already taken appropriate action. Breaking the law is obviously in your blood. <br /><br />As to your comments about me threatening to you that I would come to your house - Hm, are you saying that I did not have my communication with Antoinette, but with you? Gee, what a surprise. And since Antoinette wrote me that the address that I had was actually the seamstress' home and invited me to go by there any day - are you saying that 'Antoinette' lied to me?michaelahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01684841618843895111noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4948212285742157407.post-22038731394521827862010-01-08T13:31:00.001-08:002010-01-08T14:12:56.116-08:00How fun!All those weird posts you've recently seen, they've been done by Barbara or her Bud Rocco, as they started about 20 minutes after Barbara called me on my business phone, after having been on my website. And since she and her friend Rocco both know my business, being an heir tracer, they are the only ones that could have written those comments.<br /><br />The funny thing is - it shows once again that neither Barbara or Rocco are able to really pay attention, as my website explains that I don't work with State funds and that I in fact only collect money after the payment has been received (which is what their posts recommends). So, obviously, her posts actually recommend me. So, thank you Barbara and Rocco (who I think are the same person)!!!<br /><br />I have now changed this blog to have me approve all comments, to avoid this b.s. that they're trying to create.<br />------------<br /><br />and gee, right after I wrote the above blog the comments stopped, so someone must be keeping on top of this ;-)<br /><br />All those comments show how seriously disturbed this person is. If they had spent all morning sewing instead of trying to come up with bogus b.s. to be vindictive, then maybe someone else's order could have been finished.michaelahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01684841618843895111noreply@blogger.com32tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4948212285742157407.post-1937694991434516522010-01-07T20:21:00.000-08:002010-01-07T21:19:47.652-08:00And some more......now Barbara is sending her buddies after me, having them email me directly - yeah, her buddy Rocco, who in one post claims to only have known her for a week, then claims that he and various members of his family have done business with him and who is now fighting Barbara's fight.<br /><br />I think I will have to do more than just keep up the blog, but reopen my complaints about her and stating this.<br /><br />And Rocco, if you actually read what I wrote, then you'd see that I'm not doing background searches, but only checked on which of these posters' names are actually real and existing in the states that they claim to be. I have no interest in you or your background. I don't use my databases that frivolously.<br /><br />All I wrote is that there are a ton of Rocco whatevers in NY and that most of them are over 80. That does not constitute a background search! Geez, learn to read. Yes, I've updated my blog, but only because I can't comment here for some reason, so the only way to comment to the same blog is to rewrite things in my blog. I have no interest in doing a background search on you. It's not worth it to me. I use my important databases for my real business. This was just playing around on some inferior search engine.<br /><br />Yes, I keep adding to this blog, because you keep saying that I have been threatening a background search on you. Heck, I don't even know which one of the<br />Rocco Paducas you are and I don't give a damn. So, stop acting like Barbara, who is also always twisting other people's words to make them look bad.<br /><br />Hellooooo, while I have the capabilities to find out a whole lot of things about people, I very clearly wrote that I have no interest in finding stuff on you. I really don't care who you are, other than you defending a scammer here, and I won't spend any resources on such frivolous stuff. So, leave me alone.<br /><br />But it is certainly curious why you are so paranoid about anyone knowing anying about you, if you openly give 'your' name here and defend a scammer.michaelahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01684841618843895111noreply@blogger.com15tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4948212285742157407.post-57660201619376814722010-01-07T14:54:00.000-08:002010-01-08T15:04:14.602-08:00Barbara's aliasesSince she keeps making posts under varias aliases, here are some that she had used in the past: <br /><br />Carita Hill - There are only 2 people in the U.S. with that name: One in Ohio and one in NY.<br /><br />Antoinette Mabrey - there's only one in Maryland.<br /><br />As per Michelle, I just checked and there is NO Teresa Milford in all of Connecticut, nor is there one in MIchigan.<br /><br />There are many Rocco P. in NY, but most of them are above 80 and I doubt they'd be buying Stevie Nicks Clothing. Oh, wait a minute, Rocco already wrote that he knew B. only for a week and in other posts 'he' claimed to have done business with her for a while. So, obviously this is Barbara, as others have pointed out.<br /><br />And Rocco or whoever you are - Why don't you get with your buddy Barbara, who knows what I do, as she has already threatened to create negative reviews of my business. I'm just waiting for something to show up and she will have a major lawsuit on her hand. And if anything negative shows up, then you will probably be a part of this, as you are now threatening me and have in previous posts (calling what i wrote 'slander' and claiming legal consequences). What I'm accessing is perfectly legal as I have not researched your background. In fact, I have other databases where I could really find out more stuff on you, but I have no interest in doing this. You're not worth the cost to me. <br /><br />Everything I have written about in this blog has been the truth, so how can that be vindictive? I'm not the one writing about Barbara's singing or making other complaints. I stayed true to the situation of her defrauding me and others. Certain , knowingly false, delivery times are posted on her websites. So, sending products or giving refunds after years does not make the fraud go away.<br /><br />I have integrity, compared to your buddy Barbara, who you are defending here, even after reading about our problems with her and her defrauding her customers. You're trying to fight her fight and that puts your integrity in line with her.<br /><br />You can't possibly be a real person and not understanding that Barbara has genuinly been defrauding customers. Just because some of her customers had good experiences does not negate the negative ones!!!!michaelahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01684841618843895111noreply@blogger.com47tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4948212285742157407.post-80760763201179500482009-12-31T18:06:00.000-08:002009-12-31T18:33:32.543-08:00Enchanted mirror - yet again another postNo, this website will stay up. It chronicles exactly what happened and there are no lies in it. Just because Barbara paid me back and possibly sent merchandise out after years of waiting does not make the situations unhappen.<br /><br />Here's the definition of 'slander':<br /><br />slan⋅der<br /> <br /><br />–noun<br />1. defamation; calumny: rumors full of slander.<br />2. a malicious, false, and defamatory statement or report: a slander against his good name.<br />3. Law. defamation by oral utterance rather than by writing, pictures, etc.<br />–verb (used with object)<br />4. to utter slander against; defame.<br />–verb (used without object)<br />5. to utter or circulate slander.<br /><br />So, before any of you throw any more words around you better check out the actual meaning.<br /><br />And, Barbara, if you actually knew how to count, then you would have noticed that there is another customer who commented once on this website, who's been waiting for years, under the name of 'Reggie'. Guess what, it's an unhappy customer of yours. from Ebay. You just used a bogus tracking number after the ebay complaint, but he actually never received your product. I just don't think that the's tracking this website. And I bet there are many others out there, that just haven't found the website and that's why they haven't written here. Most people don't want to make waves and will just quietly swallow things. Obviously, those of us here on this site aren't that way.<br /><br />This blog will stay up and potential customers can make up their own mind and decide whether they want to order from Enchanted mirror / Timeless Finery or not.michaelahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01684841618843895111noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4948212285742157407.post-12373506372299246792009-12-28T14:45:00.000-08:002009-12-28T14:57:03.873-08:00BarbaraDon't twist this around as to me changing my mind and you were doing me a favor. <br /><br />Your website described the delivery of your nightbird dress as 3-4 weeks, which you have now changed to 4-6 weeks. If you offer a particular service and then change that around after payment, then that is called 'bait and switch', which is a form of fraud and it's against the law.<br /><br />In fact, in July 6th, under the name of Carita Hill, you offered me a refund, which I then asked for and promptly you had my future emails bounce back after that. (you even confirmed to me in a later email exchange, that you will have emails from me bounce back).<br /><br />As you've seen, I don't go away that easily. You're defrauding people, that's all there is to it. And trying to offer the paid for products a year or 2 later, after people have been squeakly wheels, does not make up for it.michaelahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01684841618843895111noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4948212285742157407.post-9931389860495985342009-12-28T13:12:00.000-08:002009-12-28T13:25:31.571-08:00Refund recieved -after 10 months and lots of complaintsYes, I have received my refund. And suddenly Barbara has all her minions come out and vouch for her.<br /><br />The thing is, neither I nor the other person would have received anything, if we hadn't had made a lot of noise and created trouble for her.<br /><br />It's been TEN months, since I placed my order and paid for it in full. There are people out there that haven't received their products and it's been years. This is not the way to run a business. Just because she now backed down and shipped to 2 of the most vocal people does not mean that she's an 'ok person'. Sending product now or giving a refund after so much hassle, does not make it go away or even the score.<br />There are 10 months (and longer times for others) or not having the funds, nor the<br />ordered product. Lots of hassle to go through to get this back. Insults and threads<br />endured. Just because her products supposedly are very good, does not give her<br />license to steal. Just like a thief paying back when pressured by the courts, does<br />not make the crime go away.<br /><br />Integrity is what you do when nobody is watching. And clearly, as long as most people are quiet, she didn't do anything. She just pocketed the money. There is no business owner in the world, that lets their vendors just decided that they'll take months and months to ship their product and then wait for them to send a refund. It's just plain bullsh*t. <br /><br />I have lots of emails from her (that I have all saved), in which she is ridiculing me and taunting me to go ahead and make complaints and in which she's threatening me. So, I did complain, anyway I could find. Now it just got a little too hot for her and she caved for the 2 most vocal critics.<br /><br />So, I would suggest for any of you that haven't received your product, be as vocal as you can be. Make sure that you report her to the Georgia Better Business Bureau, because I think those new complaints with them did it for us.<br /><br />And those of you thinking about buying from her - don't!michaelahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01684841618843895111noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4948212285742157407.post-24888511827330677362009-12-14T09:32:00.001-08:002009-12-14T09:34:30.715-08:00Package, what package?well, looks like the package that 'alledgedly' left Barbara's place on 12-4 never arrived. Hm.....do you think that postal truck was abducted by aliens and the post man's memory zapped? ;-)<br /><br />Why am I not surprised about this?

You took the liberty to keep my money and work with it and subsequently I lostthe funds accordingly.<br /><br />Georgia allows 12% interest for fifas, and that's what I expect for my money.<br /><br />Anything else will be unacceptable. <br /><br />And....yes, I will report here that I received a refund...should it come. But we all know that the only reason you're given is because it's getting too hot for you and I'm creating too many problems by being vocal about your fraud. There are many more people that have been defrauded by you and your scams. So, don't expect me to cancel the blog, as I want other victims to see that they're not alone and that they should just go ahead and file any kind of criminal complaint against you.<br /><br />Your business practices are completely unprofessional. Giving a refund or sending merchandise after 1 year or more is not ok. It doesn't just wipe the slate clean. Your reputation will spread and it will backfire on you.michaelahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01684841618843895111noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4948212285742157407.post-16360342007993347562009-12-07T06:42:00.000-08:002009-12-07T06:44:11.343-08:00Enchanted Mirror - one more thing to dofor those of you having been defrauded - call your sheriff and file criminal charges.
