Gemma Booker Child Style Magazine donated handmade crafts to fake magazine, Internet
24th of Oct, 2011 by User629414
July 11th of 2011, I was contacted by Gemma via Etsy.com (I own an etsy shop, where I handcraft goods). In her email (Which I saved), she talked about supporting etsy designers and wanted to feature one of my products in her Halloween feature. I was flattered! (Thought) I did my homework and checked her out pretty good. Her email looked very authentic, and all links worked. I wasn't familiar with Child Style magazine, but figured my kids arer older, things looked legit, there were pictures all over the internet, plus thousands of facebook fans. I decided to donate a few things to the magazine, to perhaps drive more traffic to my shop. I made a really cute tote, a bow tie and hair bow. My first clue something wasn't right was when she asked on August 7th, for my BIO and company description. I had already sent it to her. Sent it again and emailed to confirm. She never wrote back. It is now Halloween. I checked the links. None work, I emailed, no response. I reported her on etsy as well, it seems she has opened an etsy shop. This is not fair. I'm embarrassed, because I told many of my friends and customers about it and ashamed I did not catch on quicker. Sad that I wasted my time and money, on a thief. Worried of the personal/home address information she has on me and my business. MAD that there is pretty much nothing I can do about it, pissed I'll never have my things returned. So I find myself here in tears at 3 am, writing a ripoff report.

I am sorry but this is all false. Gemma of Child Style Magazine is running scared and has falsely filed this report because I filed a report about her and she is not too happy about it. There are others that she scammed out there too, I am finding them. http://www.etsy.com/teams/7722/business-topics/discuss/6359521/page/2/?post_id=104307869
I look forward to seeing what she does next.

That comment was referring to her report on me. The link posted is the conversations that have begun on etsy, in public forum. People are coming out of the woodwork. Others Gemma has scammed.
