Frankly I think it's better she doesn't. Obviously there are those disinclined to believe crispiecreme no matter what and it would simply cause more drama by those responding to her posts. Sally and the rest of the mods are dealing with this as efficiently as they are able to.Quote:

I was the one first to let Crispiecream know this was happening. She is my SC friend and I totally trust her.
As soon as I started checking back on who I web traded within the past 3 weeks, I turned to my husband and made a comment like "oh no they are going to lynch her for her generous ROAK last week." And that is what happened.
I have been trading PM's with her during the weekend so she knows I am still behind her and her rep. she has been trying so hard to build-up.
Sally888 PM'd me with questions - I am grateful someone is taking the time to look into the matter on this site (because really is that their job?)
I have no idea what SDM is going to do - all they said was they have forwarded the info to the loss prevention department, get a new card and I shouldn't have given anyone my card # Seriously?? Why have transfer options then? Why can you choose one of three ways to access your account?
I am going to give them a bit of time - then watch out I am at them full force :rant: if not to have my points returned to me but to have them change their online security log-ins.
If I was CrispieCreme, I would not come on and defend myself for several reasons.
Nothing I would say would make those who accused me believe me.
The mods would have to run around and delete posts of those who attack her...take away from her investigation.
I would be laying low, waiting for the mods to clear my name. It would be incredibly hard. All these people attacking my good name, the easy thing to do would be to come on and say a bunch of things.
I think Crispie is doing the right thing and that shows the type of integrity this trader has. I for one can't wait to see the thread where she is cleared, and the apoligies that come after :)
Those apolgies won't ever come...the people that unjustly(if so) accused her won't admit they made a mistake...otherwise, they wouldn't have posted the comments in the first place.Quote:

I do hope that everybody gets their points back :( This is a nasty situation for sure.
You're probably right. I just try to give people the benefit of the doubt and hear both sides before I make a judgement, and in a perfect would everyone would try to do that, too.Quote:

So I apologize if it sounded like I was either a) accusing her, or b) thinking she needs to come on here to defend herself. It's just that that is personally what I would have done, but you're 100% right that she would just get attacked for it, so I think she's doing the best thing possible right now, which is just staying away til all this gets sorted out.
I agree.Quote:

What I still don't understand (and I'm hoping someone will be kind enough to explain), is why the hell they would accuse her in the first place. I'm assuming there's a big piece of info I don't know, because I can't understand why a whole bunch of SCer's would immediately jump to "OMG!!! IT'S CRISPIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:rant:" with no proof. I would just think it was a severe computer glitch, and march on Shoppers Drug Mart with a pitchfork in each hand.
Because she generously gave away 50,000 SDM points (1,000 points to 50 different ppl)....so she had access to 50 ppl's accounts...which led ppl to jump to conclusions ...but there are some of us who never traded with her and still lost points...Quote:

I'm still very interested to know (though I don't think that will ever be provided) where the first set of transfers went before it was sent off to other cards.
There really doesn't seem to be a complete set of commonalities for those that lost points that I have seen other than people checked their accounts, but so far there isn't any other one thing that ties them all together; I just hope that the issue is fixed, that they get their points back, and that SDM honours a special MR for those people.
Agreed. And there are tons of trolls who would just say something to the effect of "the lady doth protest too much" and make it seem like she was backpedaling when that's not the caseQuote:

it really is disappointing when "celebrity" couponers take advantage of people... :rant:
No good deed goes unpunished. There are many very generous people who try to stay anonymous for that reason.

With all the hackers out there now a days it just takes them to find those few vulnerable minutes when a system is transfering over (and look sdm has a new look).... isnt that what all these sony, microsoft, etc companies have posted about in the last year.
I wouldnt blame Crispie for having baby coupons and No baby....Ive taken advantage of pet coupons to trade in the past or signed up for relatives that dont use the pet coupons and I dont have any pets.... Coupons are out there for everyone to gather....
Yep.. I thought that too.. I had cat coupons and no cat.. I have tons of coupons that I would never use. I get loads of every insert but only use a few in each if any.Quote:

It surprises me that they don't see how their responses say so much about how their lives are going. Happy people have no need to attack or bring down other people. They want others to be happy as well.
