liar photographer on the loose!!!

her name is desiree.
has anyone ever heard of this chick?

long story short, she came to my wedding to take pics for free and has promised to send them for over 2 months and has given me an excuse every week (or every other) as to why I haven't received them. i know i can't expect much for free, but if you only saw the emails from her. lie after incredibley ridiculous lie.

i'll be posting them on our wedsite soon in case anyone wants a good laugh.

it was free because she is trying to build her wedding portfolio. i first heard from her on craigslist when i posted an ad looking for a creative & edgy photographer. she responded & offered to take pics for $600. i declined because all she sent me were three photos of her work which didnt give me any idea of what she was offering.

the following month, a b-t-b here posted this chick's craiglist ad offering free photography, so i thought, wth.

there is no other way i can get in touch with her other than that stinkin email address!!!! i dont even know her stinkin last name.

so, if anyone knows anything about this chick, PLEASE let me know. i would greatly appreciate it.


xoxo,
mrs. B

I agree with BBB, but would you need more detailed information? That's why I said ask someone else to arrange to meet her and try and get more information. If she's real hungry for the work, maybe someone else can get an address out of her. You know, someone else can say 'I'm not comfortable doing business without some more specifics.' Just a thought since she can't make contact with her. Not smart on her part...not a way to build a clientele. Word of mouth can be everything when you starting out. I think it would be worth a shot at this point.

ETA: I'm not familiar with Craig's list. It's not anything like E-bay where you can report someone, right?

Yes the BBB probably wouldn't be able to help in a situation like this because it's not as though you had a contract (written) for her serivices.

I would say try to take her to small claims court but that might be a waste as well since she was providing her services for free and there was no written agreement.

That's why I would give it a shot and have someone arrange to meet her. Maybe you can get some more information to at least do that. Or bring the news with you, you know like 'Shame on You'.
