The Loopholes

The case started when the highly sorted after Victoria's Secret bags went OOS (Out of Stock) in the website http://www.victoriassecret.com

Thus, imagine our excitement when we were introduced to this blog that sells those bags at cut throat prices?! Yes, the bags are priced at ridiculously low prices at http://k-sayuri.blogspot.com when other blogshops are selling them at more than 300% of the original clearance sale price.

The reason from doing so? The seller is migrating to Australia on 19 March 2009.

Sorry, I had to blur out the number to prevent from getting charged for revealing personal details :P Do also note the date of her post. She published this post on 15 March 2009. I only paid her on 18 March 2009 @ 8:54AM GMT+8. It's impossible for her to publish during that period.

I need to paste the cache link as she had deleted her blog on 19 March 2009, the day she left Singapore to Australia which she claimed. Also, someone tried to call Merlinda whom K-sayuri claimed that it's her partner but it kept going through to a permanent engaged tone.


Unfortunately, she lied through her teeth. There is no afternoon flight on 19 March 2009 for Qantas QF6. There's only one flight at 730pm. Is that considered afternoon or evening? Hmm... Before I could ask her any further, she deleted her email address.


A sign of supernatural phenomenon? No. But this was how things get started. What we found out:-

- She will only send out the items through normal mail as she claimed that the mailbox is near her residence
- She will NOT meet up or send by registered mail. Reason as above.
- She will send all of us a picture of the parcel that she is going to post to our residential addresses. Why the trouble?


Do a comparison of the parcels and you will realize that the dents and marks all fall on the same places. You mean parcels can duplicate by themselves? What we speculated:-

- She used the post it note paper to write down our addresses
- Pasted it on the envelope to look as if she is going to send us the parcel
- Took a picture and email it to us for assurance
- Did the same to the rest of the buyers

One of the girls had purchased 5 bags. How could 5 bags possibly be squeezed into the mailbox which is a mere 3 or 4cm gap?! Impossible. With 5 bags, she would still have to drop by the post office to post out the parcel.

I will update if there are more loopholes ;)
