I Got Scammed by Facebook Ads. * Reborn Ashton-Drake Doll Scam

Ashton Drake comes in a whole different type of packaging

I'm a reborn artist and there are alot of people not just on fb scamming on reborns. They steal photos of the ones artist actually have painted and rooted to take people's money, some never receive a doll or it shows up a cheap Walmart tiny doll. It's appalling. So sorry that more warnings are not out there to protect buyers. Your video will help save many, so thank you for sharing your experience.

I've heard of other people getting scammed on FB ads too, Kayla. Don't feel badly about it. FB needs to do more due diligence and scrutinize their advertisers the way Amazon does if they are going to allow ads to pop up. As far as I'm concerned FB has been dropping the ball on all fronts of social media.

Annabelle can be ordered directly from Ashton Drake Galleries catalog. I own one, but I don't shop online for my dolls. Please don't give up on Annabelle. The monkey is actually cuter in person than in the pics.

I’m so sorry. I bet it was the darn Chinese. They don’t care what they say, as long as they get their money. 😢

Kayla, so sorry this happened to you. It's heart breaking how people can do that to others.😟 Thanks for bringing this to our attention.👍

I'm so sorry you got rooked, Kayla! I had a similar experience with a nail art kit. While it was a good price what I received was nothing at all what the photo and video showed. It was a Facebook ad. The package arrived with no instructions and at least 6 items that I've NO idea what they are other than decorative items of some sort for a home. I was so pissed and to top it off the ad is no longer on FB and no return address on the packaging they shipped in. I can't even request instructions or a refund. I'd gladly send the package back to China if I were given that option to get my $19.95 refunded.

This is so messed up 😔 I feel so bad when people get scammed like this. You get all excited for something that you think you’re getting but get something COMPLETELY different and not what you’re expecting whatsoever. I’m sorry this happened to you

I was taken by a Facebook ad I thought I ordered a garden seat but got a tool bag instead, learned my lesson!

I so sorry to hear this happened. I've seen AD post about this to warn people on their Facebook page. This is a massive problem in the reborn collectors community too. These people are making low quality fake copies of kits to sell, taking money out of legitimate sculptors pockets. These sights are everywhere, thanks for posting a warning x

Oh my oh my, thats false advertising, Im so sorry Kayla..There should be a case for them to answer over that..and a full refund for you. Thankyou for giving us all a reminder to be a more weary of these types of advertisements. Can we all go give them a terrible review I mean I certianly will.

Oh that stinks! You definately should get a refund, it's ugly!

Oh my gosh! So sorry! Bet that happens to so many folks! False advertising for sure!!! I hope you can get your money back, at least. Thanks for the warning!

I agree, don't trust any Facebook ads seeking something that's too good to be true. I was scammed too. 😭

I just thought to help as I love your channel, first off you have got to be very careful there are actual thousands of scamming sites , I have collected actual reborns for years and alot of those pop up ads are fake , if you'd like a real reborn you have to go through a private artist , you also need to go through the actual Ashton drake website because the pop ads are fake and you will not get what you pay for , I have beautiful reborns and one of the reborns I have is 450.00 plus paying for shipping, reborns are hand painted and hand rooted so please please be careful when looking at pop up sites. I hope this comment helps so you dont loose money

I'm so sorry you got scammed! I took was scammed by FB ad for something else. Now I never buy from fb ads without doing any research!

Years ago someone told me about what’s called a “chargeback” if you have been scammed or company refuses to issue a refund. I have never done it, but I would suggest contacting your bank or credit card company. Good luck. 😊

I ordered two days ago.550 bucks.She said shed send it out.Got a UPS email with no tracking number and called UPS and they said red flags.When I talked to them the messenger died and the ups email disappeared fast.However before it disappeared i re sent it to the Real UPS. Who are investigating it.I feel sick to my stomack because i was so excited.I watched your video cause i need strength to get through this.I paid 550 bucks.Not sure what you paid but i know ill never see my money again.Hard lesson for me.ty

I'm so sorry that happened to you 😔 I refuse to buy anything advertised on Facebook. I ordered a cat bed and received an owl watch pendant. They told me I'd have to pay to return it or I could keep it and get a 40% refund. The price for shipping would have been more then what I paid. Since then I don't trust any ads on there.

The same thing happend to me. I ordered a realistic doll of a website that had an ad on Facebook. it took over a month and they said they had a full refund. They gave us half the refund and said the doll was perfect in there eyes
