Why did I make this list?
Since I started The Purse Queen, reader after reader has shared with me their experiences of being scammed. These awful sellers sell replicas that are either subpar or, worse yet, non-existent, leaving us buyers with nothing but disappointment and anger.
This not only harms the shoppers financially but also gives a bad reputation to other honest replica sellers. That’s why I have started collecting some names and publishing them here.
I hope this opens up a great dialogue between shoppers and sellers and allows us to help warn shoppers to stay away from certain sites and sellers that have proven to be nothing but trouble!
What Sellers will be added to the list?
If a seller or website gets enough negative reviews I will add it to the scam list.
- Don’t deliver on time(without reasons or advance notice) or at all
- With poor customer service or who don’t respond to complaints
- Ask for personal information or payments upfront
- Use pics that don’t belong to them or sell items that don’t match the photos they display
- Promise for high-quality products and charge a lot but end up selling items of low quality
List of Sellers/websites to avoid
Winnie
I have received MANY negative reviews about sites called “ebag” “ebbaag” or any similar sounding name. They are a scam.
Save your money and yourself a headache and do not shop here. The negativity about this group of scammers is overwhelming enough to warrant a big warning! ——————————————————————————————————————–
A lot of people have sent their money in and then received no response from this company. It is a big SCAM. ——————————————————————————————————————– Winnie Jim
I have received messages from blog readers being scammed by them. Any time you see the name Winnie associated with replica shopping it is most likely a scam – don’t buy! ——————————————————————————————————————– Eva Knox
PurseValley has a bad reputation because of lots of negative reviews. The person behind it, Eva Knox (also known as Sophia Nolan), also had a blog called Spotbags. She and her “followers” wrote reviews on this blog to promote PurseValley.
PurseValley was shut down in July 2017 after being busted by US and Chinese authorities, with Alibaba’s assistance. Fake sites emerged afterward, even though they were not run by Knox and her associates. It’s still wise to steer clear of these sites like pursevalley.ru and pursevalleyvip.cn for safety.
——————————————————————————————————————– Jennifer
Jennifer is a bait-and-switch seller. She uses pictures of authentic products to trick people into buying low-quality items. Many people have said that when they finally got the bag they ordered, it was the wrong size, and it didn’t look as good as it did in the pre-shipment video. And she often ignored customers’s messages. She even changed her Instagram username at least five times when she realized she had been exposed. Former Instagram names – jenys_boutique, luxurypoints, by_lynnie, j.luxury, hermes_xo, luxurygemsss, and likely more ——————————————————————————————————————– Annie Lin
Annie Lin is a seller of replica jewelry who took money from a lot of customers. People have said that after getting PSPs, Annie stopped communicating and ignored all the messages that followed. Many buyers have lost a lot of money dealing with her. It’s not just that you might get a lower-quality product; in many cases, you won’t get anything at all. ——————————————————————————————————————– Feyre
Feyre had told buyers that she was located in Turkey and claimed that because it was close to Europe, all the leather used to make the bags came from France or Italy. However, the packages were actually sent from Vietnam. After a long wait, when the buyer received the package, it was clear at a glance that it was low-quality. ——————————————————————————————————————– Kinga
Based on the emails I have received from readers, there were two cases where customers didn’t get their orders. In one situation, Kinga blocked a customer on WeChat when she asked for help because her package might have been lost or seized. In another order, she didn’t give the tracking number or any evidence that she shipped the bag. Other than that, she never responded to any messages sent through WeChat and WhatsApp once received the money. ——————————————————————————————————————– Instagram replica sellers to avoid:

Red flags to look out for when shopping
- Suspiciously low prices
- Lack of contact information
- No return or refund policy
- Poorly written product descriptions or listings
- Poorly designed or outdated website
What to do if you’ve been scammed?
There is still hope if this is your situation:
- Product quality is far below your expectations
- Received the wrong items
- Product didn’t deliver on time
Talk to the sellers to find out what happened and try to negotiate with the seller to see if it’s possible to get part of the refund.
If the seller stops responding, to be honest, there is not that much you can do to get the money back, but I encourage you to comment below about any sites that have ripped you off while shopping for a replica of any kind whether it be a handbag, shoes, or even a watch.
Moreover, you can also email me at thepursequeenreviews@gmail.com with pictures and details and I will post it on the blog for all to read!
I tried a few times placing an order on https://www.bagsshoesfr.com/ and the transaction never went through with different credit cards. I received an email from joelawleung@hotmail.com asking me to send Zelle Venmo, or Western Union. However, the email never reference the name of the company are they legitimate? Please help!
Hello all! Happy Spring! I have been contacted by this seller on WhatsApp saying her/his name Jacky. Just wondering if anyone knows anything about this seller or has made any purchases? Answered questions w/o any contact from me regarding sending video and photos prior to shipping so I know exactly what I’m getting….
Hi, has anyone used bagsshoesfr? Can they be trusted? Thank you!
what about guccihunter.ru? thinking about buying a shoulder bag but dont know
Hi!! Nice to meet you.
I never bought a replica bag and I’m try to find a good seller. I see pinkdee do you know something about them? Thank you so much.
Cettire.com. Has anyone had any experience? They are one of the only sites I’ve seen that sells BRAND NEW FENDI and the prices seem to be up to 40%. These two things seem suspect to me. A couple reviewers on YouTube say they are legit. The only complaint the reviewers had to say is the packaging is poor. But so is Bloomingdales. Anyone have any experience with them. Linking site. https://www.cettire.com/collections/fendi
Hi lovely ladies! Check out luxecollective’s most recent posts on IG. They’ve posted really interesting “real vs. fake” comparisons of Dior and Chanel.
Well I’ve been officially burned with my latest rep purchase: a “duty free” LV bum bag from Old Cobbler. Last month I purchased an absolutely stunning and perfect NF from him so I was expecting very similar quality, especially with the duty-free version, which is supposed to be top rep quality. The canvas is thin and plastic-y; nothing like my NF canvas, plus there are two obvious flaws in the canvas. The vachetta feels fake.Do you all think I should even bother contacting OC about this??
No, that’s the risk with reps unfortunately.
Did you ever contact OC and get this resolved? I was looking through their albums and considering a purchase now I’m not sure.
I have purchased from him as well, but everything was perfect. I am so surprised to hear that I would contact him.
Had a question about the Burberry Kensington coat! I recently got one second hand and never noticed until it was in hand, but the belt I think is reversed? So the brown leather buckle hangs on the right side when the D rings are facing down in the back. Is this a flaw? Worth getting it fixed or just not wearing the belt?
Hi all,
Has anyone ever seen these Valentino booties? I have been obsessed with them for years, but it seems like it was only around for a season so I don’t know if anyone would be repping these anymore 🙁
Ohhhhh they are stunning. I haven’t and I have a few Valentino reps but haven’t seen these.
Wish I hadn’t seen those. lol. Now I’m on the hunt.
Yesss hunt with me!! I need them!! PLEASE let me know if you find anything
Absolutely breathtaking!!!!! Haven’t seen them but now I wish they were repped 🤞🏻
I got this bag at an online estate sale auction. The auction house listed it as auth. I usually only buy used from big auction houses like Sothebys, Christie’s, etc because I don’t trust the realreal and others. But I am no expert on vintage. Do you guys think this is an auth? I’m guessing 80s or 90s. (Just posting for fun since I already bought it!)
It’s an early nineties square flap. Plenty around on the secondhand market. Very good condition, nice find.
It’s in really great condition for something from that era I’m auth. Definitely have it authenticated.
Personally I always think it’s worth your peace of mind to go with an authentication service.
Sorry I can’t give much advice on whether or not your bag looks authentic. The leather looks great and similar to what I’ve often seen in vintage lambskin though.
Ordered lambskin CF and my seller asked if I want sheepskin after payment – should I worry? Previous purchases were good with them. I just found it a bit strange
That’s strange. Lambskin is significantly softer than sheepskin imo, so I wouldn’t accept that change
They said “Sheepskin?” and I clarified two times that I want Lambskin. I hope I am not in a bait-switch situation lol
I had something interesting happen and I’m hoping you lovely people can chime in.
I ordered a Loewe Puzzle from Tom and he sent me a DHL Waybill. I’ve attempted to track it and it keeps coming up with “Does Not Exist.”
I reached out to him today and he said “I’ll send you FedEx.” I tracked the FedEx number and it does show its coming to my city. Is that weird? Or is it normal to change carriers after sending tracking information?
I would not worry about this. Depending how they ship it can take time to show up in the fedex system. I know there are services that let you track it from the start but really I just wait until it gets into my country (US).
My Stuart Weitzman Soho boots made it to NY! It’s just a matter of days before I get my hands (and feet) on them!!!!
Who did you order from and do you order your normal size?
I got them from 1688 and ordered a 37 since they don’t have half sizes – would ideally wear a 36.5.
First rep is off to a bad start 🥺 the gap for the zipper “puller” is relatively large, making the “puller” constantly fall off. Any suggestions on how to fix this? Should i ask for a replacement?
I would take a pair of pliers to just squeeze it down a bit!
I just RLed my first rep in the ~2 years I’ve been in the rep game. I usually buy sale bags/shoes so I don’t really have a choice but this was one of my first commissioned pieces. It was bad enough that someone like me who is horrible at QCing noticed the bad aspects right away. but I don’t think I should accept something like this that needs to be fixed. I’m usually impatient but this time I’ll wait. It is a pair of GGDB sneakers where the side stamp is almost on the star and the side holes are too small, widely-spaced and haphazard.
Stand your ground! Those aren’t great and there’s been a bunch of issues with ggdb shoes the last while…. Misspellings/ misplaced details… and I think the sellers usually get another pair!
I have the BV andiamo in the dark brown color that I’ve been using for 3 months now and it’s breaking down at the seams 🙁 from luajing.ru. Super disappointed in how it’s held up
Hi! I have been waiting to receive a bag since 10/23, it was sent by China post, is it normal for this delay in delivery?
What does your tracking say? 👀 Is the package still moving?
