Katie is a scammer. I have had a million and one emails promising receipts and recorded delivery references but please be in no doubt this person is 100% fake, untrustworthy, devious and thoroughly unpleasant. Do not touch. Can someone from Scarlet Mist now please advise the correct process to follow to reclaim/prosecute.
dj619 - I recommend contacting the police.
Email to Katie (I am awaiting a response)
“Katie,
The police are investigating and there is now a crime reference set up. It should be straightforward to solve given that we have your bank account details.
If you happen to have either tickets (small chance) or if you refund me in full today then I will consider no further action.
Up to you. Let me know.
Cheers,
Alex”

Already have a reply from Katie (she’s very efficient at sending emails!). So far she has promised me a) the tickets b) scans of the receipts c) the recorded postage tracking number d)an immediate refund. None have been forthcoming…..but plenty of pointless evasive emails like this reply to my note above.
“Hey
What did you mean by ‘

I just received the following email. TBH I doubt there are tickets - lets face it, she said she sent them on Monday by recorded delivery but then would not give the ref number or provide a receipt. Has promised refunds all week too. Can the buyer who has actually received a ticket make themselves known? Have told Katie that her proposal works, but I am continuing with the criminal investigation until a satisfactory result is achieved.
“Alex, I completely understand that your looking for a refund as soon as possible, but I work until 5pm on Saturdays, so I will have to do it after that. I’m trying to do so many things at once, as I sent every single ticket I sold off, and one of the people I sent the tickets too, actually has received there tickets, so I am actually in quite a lot of hope, and I’m still entirely convince that yours are going too turn up. As I promised the refund today, I will sort it out for you, but I do ask, when the tickets arrive,as they will, that you re send the money back. Is this a fair proposition?
Thanks.

Katie Beavon took £1000 from me for Pink Tickets a week last Tuesday. I have had nothing but ridiculous excuses and have started a PayPal charge back.
She was operating on Gumtree and indeed still is.
There is a VERY specific and often used word that she continually misspells. I have coaxed her into using that word on no less than 12 adverts on gumtree. This word isn’t normally spelled incorrectly by people and I don’t want to give it away by writing it here. I have sourced her names on Gumtree as:
Katie Beavon
Karen Beavon
Karen Humphries
Elizabeth Hargreaves
Carly Long
Jenny Finch
Melanie Round
All of the above have given me the PayPal email address: .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) (which PayPal have now suspended).
Three of the above ‘names’ have TODAY given me account details:

This is a Halifax bank in Northampton. Halifax PLC, Box 101, W.Yorks, HX3 0TA.
I have spoken to a member of their customer services team who is contacting me back tomorrow. I am hoping to raise an internal review on her account.
“Katie” - you really tried to screw over the wrong person/people this time.
Oh, and I forgot to add—I should have her home address by Monday afternoon. We use tracers through work for debts and bad credit accounts and I’m ‘owed’ a favour.
Still no refund, but lots of email.

“I logged in and stuff, and I’m just waiting for something. I need to ring the met police as well, but I will email when it’s done. It doesn’t really matter if its now or in an hour; the end of the day, I’m doing the right thing by sending it back, because really I have actually sent you the tickets, and for all I know you might even have them! But whatever, I’m not getting into this, ill send you the money ASAP and I will email when it has been transferred and will attach a print screen of some confirmation.
Still no payment. Just procrastinating emails and a question as to whether I am tricking her.
“The last email wasn’t meant to come off as aggressive. It’s a Saturday night, we both have better things to be doing, and ill send your money tonight and we can go from there. There’s no point with the constant emails, at the end of the day I sent the tickets and you haven’t received them yet, i am refunding you until they come, which I don’t actually have too do, but I’d prefer you were happy! Have you 100% not received the tickets? It’s not like a trick or something?

How can you deny what you’re doing on Gumtree? Your IP Address has been consistent with:

And countless others today.
Are you not slightly concerned that someone is trying to get money into your bank account by pretending to sell a multitude of tickets that they can’t possibly have? How will they get it out of your account I wonder???
Ok, so let’s say for a nano second you are genuine. Just answer these very simple questions:
1, what are the tracking numbers for the tickets you have posted? It’s very easy to show this.
2, If you posted them on Monday how can you be confident that they will arrive? Surely they must be ‘lost in the post now’?
3, How can you sell so many tickets for face value?
You seem to travel a lot between the MEN and O2…
Not met many Killers fans who also would go and watch the Rolling Stones on a sell out tour.
Nice try sweetheart.
We’re not getting anywhere here. I will send you the money tonight, and send proof along with that. Thanks Alex ill email once I’ve done it, won’t be too long!

The fact that I want to stress my side of the story to the police so they can understand what is going on? Considering the fact I’ve never been in trouble or anything like that, I think that’s a reasonable request?

Love_Pink - please can you post details of the Ip address information so that I can make the police aware when they follow up on my case?
I noted the number consistency and located it as an O2 Dongle.
It’s an IP that changes every 15 mins or so…but the username/number always had 4567944 in the central part—which is one a gazillion for it to be a coincidence.
That’s O2 Mobile Broadband…on a dongle.
So finally at 0.30 last night I received an email with a screen shot of the bank transaction to me for £150. I will confirm if this hits my account. It says within 24 hours excluding Sundays. I also received a scanned picture of Katie’s driving license. I’d love to be proved wrong about the tickets, but I have no evidence that they exist and never received a tracking number.
I will keep you all and the police posted on progress.
(And Katie, no I am not ‘love_pink’ and no you cannot have the crime reference number)
Did it come through Alex?
I don’t know of any bank that process payments on a 24 hour scale ‘excluding Sundays’.
Presumably its the Halifax account you initially sent to? ALL of their accounts offer faster payments service (FPS). It doesn’t matter if it was 1.30am on Sunday or 3.30pm on a Friday, the payment would reach you in two hours maximum (usually within 3 minutes).
According to your conversation above she had ‘logged in’ etc at 7.26pm last night. She sent you the money at 12.30am? 5 hours after ‘logging in’?
One of two things happened here. Either she ripped someone else off for £150 and that took five hours to complete and then she refunded you.
OR…
She stalled till 12.30am to take you into a ‘Sunday’ time-frame (which doesn’t exist with Halifax Bank PLC). All stalling tactics to me…
Not yet landed on my account. I have informed the police and they will follow up tomorrow to check.
There should be an escrow only rule on this site.
There can only be ‘advice’ really. What people do with their cash is up to them.
PayPal is pretty secure for 45 days. But it’s still useless to send someone money who doesn’t have what you are supposed to be buying.
The only ay to avoid this vile poisonous daftness is to pay face-to-face in person. But even then there are so many good looking counterfeit tickets that you could pay cash for a dud.
Is it with you Alex?
Not yet - but the screen shot of the banking transaction looked real - and the Ts & Cs stated 24 hours not including Sunday + bank holidays. Not all banks are instant transfer.
All Halifax bank accounts do…
Starting to sound familiar again ......
I assumed I’d have too call in the morning as my bank shuts at 6 I think it is. Ill probably go in if I’m honest, if it isn’t in there when I get there, ill just put some money in your bank as that’s instant to my knowledge

I actually think you’ll get your money…it’ll just take a week or so.
All evidence points to the fact that she is trying to scam someone else for £150 prior to paying you back.
She’s such an honest and lovely person because not only has she sent you the tickets she has also done a bank transfer for a refund. She is now willing to pay the cash into your account and still believes you’ll receive the tickets.
Best case scenario here for you Alex is that the transfer magically clears, she pays money into your account AND the tickets arrive.
You’ll have the tickets AND be £150 better off. What a lovely lady she really is.
Sorry, I had to nip out then as there was this loud bang. A flying pig just smashed straight into my bathroom window.
Worse case scenario? She’s a lying, scheming, ill-educated fraudster who bit off way more than she can chew this time round.
AT LEAST Three people have now contacted the police Katie.
I have confirmation from a reliable source that your Halifax account is now under review.
Any luck they’ll close it within the week and pass all relevant details through to the police.
I’ve contacted the police as well, she still pretending that she sent tickets and promised that she will send money back. It is waste of time to discuss with her…
There may be two of them…
Katie is definitely the owner of the above Halifax bank account.
Well she has sent me the following email:

We shall see.
Bulls*t.
Why would she do that? It costs £5.95 to send cash insured.
I won £369 on the lottery last night. I like to bet that amount that this refund goes the same way as all the others she has sent and magically gets lost in the post. Oh, and she’ll refuse to give you a tracking number also…
I’m no fool Pinkie, well….I have been because I’m stuck in this sh*t atm lol. But I will be keeping track of it. I tried asking where my transaction dispute forms from the fraud service went but when you’re speaking to a call centre in the middle of nowhere, communication barriers ensue….
UPDATE 19/11/2012:
She has offered a tracking number…breakthrough perhaps? ;D
She ‘offers’ all manner of things. Trouble is they never actually materialise…
Alex, any progress?
No progress. Just loads more vacuous email protesting innocence. But lets at least take some time for a chuckle. .......

I have NEVER heard anything more astounding than that.
She didn’t send the tickets, a tracking number, a receipt of purchase, a tracking number for ‘cash refunds’, or…a refund (THRICE!) Astounding.
Not forgetting the accurate FAKE bank transfer statement???
It seems she is plagued with technical difficulties regarding online transfers and the Royal Mail provide her with no tracking numbers and continually fail to deliver her postage.
Truly amazing.
Have been in touch with the police again today. Does anyone have crime references numbers that relate to Katie? Can you email me the details via the Scarlet Mist administrator?
Katie says she is taking legal advice. Good luck!
“Yes, there is one person ‘jdrela’ that I have yet too refund. DJ has been posted his money as requested, and I can track that online, and yourself who I believe has received the money via Internet banking. The screenshot was not made up in any way! Go on halifax and ask a friend, compare them.

Just to let to know, I HAVE NOT received my money so the thing she said about me is untrue.
100s of emails from Katie since last update. No tickets, no money. Police investigating.
The latest is that Katie is going to try and get replacement tickets. But she can’t provide a proof of purchase and is incapable of paying me.
Amazing. But the police are confident of a positive result.
Katie is on her way down to the O2 to pick up replacement tickets today. Oh how she makes me chuckle.
I asked for her mobile to call, she refused and asked for mine and said she would call. She hasn’t.
She said can she text me when she has collected the tickets. I said no, please call. Let’s face it, it’s unlikely that she will text or call, and its probably not even a lady anyway.
On a more serious note (for Katie at least) the police are following up.
Somebody mentioned his address????
Mmm sounding familiar, dealt with a Annie dodman on gum tree regarding Michael Bible tickets,advert said location was London but she claimed she was in monmouthshire in Wales.. She sent pics of tickets and said she buys and sells on gumtree which her profile said she had been a member for 3 years.Arranged to transfer money to her husbands account which is Barclay’s in white chapel road in London.. Said she would post with tracking soon as funds cleared which was week before Xmas.So later in day she emailed me saying funds went into her account but not clear till following.Next day she said funds OK so will post Xmas eve as she was now working 2 x 12 hour shifts even though I was promised they would be sent for Xmas..contacted her Xmas eve to see if they were sent , heard nothing..Looked on gumtree and saw same seats on same day advertised although no block mentioned posted on Xmas eve so emailed her Xmas day questioning this,she replied later that day saying she couldn’t send Xmas eve as recorded delivery didn’t start till after boxing day and not to worry the tickets I paid her for were mine and just needed to send..The email finished with do u have a problem your end ? Sent emails daily since then and not heard anything !!!!
Abbie dodman not Annie…..Her husbands name stefano dodman
JUST BEEN SCAMMED £90! 2 KILLERS TICKETS!!
HOW DO I GET THIS BACK!?
