D, I'm glad she didn't hit you up for money. I'm sure if I hadn't lent her the money, I'd have no reason to complain either. The problem is, is that she lied to me about what she needed the money for (besides the fact she hasn't paid me). She was destitute, or so she said. She needed the money for rent, bills, etc. and she was definitely getting her back pay from disability the next week. I too, have been on disability, and know how the system works regarding a huge check when you first get on disability from Social Security. She asked me to send her 2 money orders for $500.00 each (why not a personal check from me???). Apparently, in hindsight, it may have been to be under the radar at her bank (maybe she has a judgement on her?). So, hesitantly, I did, because I had promised her and was going to follow through. I believed she was getting the big check the next week and I'd be re- paid. Not so. I had many conversations with her regarding the big check and how she needed to contact SS regarding where her check was, etc. etc. etc. What it came down to was she never had a big check coming. She used all the money to go to 2 BW concerts that next weekend, have meet ups with fans, dinners, hotels, gas, all the goodies on my dime.
I lent her $1000 and have pulled $300 out of here since November 2008. I want other people to know that they should watch out for her and her scams and let it be known what type of person she is. I do believe she has big time issues and needs to get them taken care of. It's funny how since I posted about it on the Blooey, she has gone into hiding. She won't reply to my emails, or anything. My only saving grace is small claims court, which I am looking to do next. I will have to put out MORE money for court costs and fees to have her served. I highly doubt she will fly to Chicago to appear, so a judgment will probably get issued. We'll see. It's not like I have money to be lending out to strangers. I just have a hard time saying NO.
