Kristen Pineda scams

In Reply to: i am like you, i doubt it was even sent given her sm - go get her
Kristen has been operating on a Rick Pineda ebay account. Someone has to stop her, she has bilked myself and anther gentleman out of money also. The local police know her well. She must think she is to smart for anyone to figure out how to stop her. The Oklahoma Attorney General may have to jump in and get involved and lets get her in jail where she belongs.
Lets start here:
Oklahoma
US v. Lansford
On January 19, 2000, Christine Lansford was indicted in the United States District Court, Western District of Oklahoma, on 14 counts of mail fraud for allegedly offering Beanie Babies on Internet auction web sites, accepting payment and failing to deliver the goods. Lansford allegedly used numerous aliases to perpetrate her scheme.
This case was investigated by the United States Postal Inspection Service, Fort Worth Division, and prosecuted by the United States Attorney's Office for the Western District of Oklahoma.

My name is Sgt Trim I work for the Frederick Police Department. Just to let you know that we are still getting reports related to Kristen Pineda. We have worked numerous cases on her and will continue to do so. If you feel that you have been taken by her please contact our Dept. Most of the victims who have filed reports have gotten their money back. Frederick is in fact a small town but we are not hicks. We have made it possible for many of her victims to get their money back. You can contact me at 580-335-7503.
To Everyone Scammed by Kristen Pineda - sm
You need to contact Detective Joe Rodriguez at the Frederick Police Department, 580-335-2301. He is VERY familiar with her and he is very anxious to hear from everybody who has been scammed by her. She just got out of jail not too long ago for this same thing - WE NEED TO STOP HER!!! This is a real hick town (kind of reminded me of the Andy Griffith Show) and everybody knows everybody's business and EVERYBODY at the police department knows Ms. Pineda. PLEASE CALL THEM NOW!
C phone SCAM - Kristen Pineda strikes again!
Contact me - I'll tell you what you need to do. SHE DOES THIS ALL THE TIME!!!!!
Enough about Kristen Pineda and all her aliases. We remove posts as we see them, but
this person uses aliases, different email addresses, and IP addresses. WE DO WATCH. If you were taken by this person, deal with the authorities.
Laura, the person who scammed the OP is not Kristen Pineda. This is a
completely different person altogether. We are dealing with the situation from this end. Thank you.
MT scams
I too am in the same boat as you. I have been doing this for over a year now, mind you it was part-time. Before I started with them I went to college and became a Office administrative assistant/medical. I wanted to do transcribing and thought it would be good to do it from home on my days off work. I work at a drug store as well. Well, needless to say I have not yet passed a test. The last one I did, I had one letter wrong. Anyway, I went into the BBB site to check up on them and they are not even a member. I emailed my trainer last night and so far I have heard nothing in response to that letter. I showed her what BBB had to say about the company. I am not even sure if my foot pedal will be universal if I should apply for another transcription job. If you know of the article or what is was called in the Parents magazine please let me know. I want to have as much ammunition to show this company. I guess before you complete the course you have to pay them something. This is one thing that they forgot to tell me. MMMMMMMMM Well, if you can get back to me on this I would appreciate it as I am in the same boat as you.

There are a lot of scams on Craiglist. If you
see a post for a "free" anything and it also has img after the post instead of pick it is 99.99% a scam and I wouldn't even open the post.
It is a good site to get your feet wet if you are considering E-bay. CL hasn't quite caught on in a lot of places yet, but with e-bay prices keep going up and people tired of pay outrageous shipping, I'm sure it will get bigger quickly.
Work At-Home Scams
Sorry, I put this on the Biller and Coder Board by accident.
Has anybody clicked on the add that comes up on the top of this page from time to time that asks you if you want to make major money working part time at home. I clicked on it and it said something about Rebate Processor Positions. I figure it is another scam and I should not have clicked on it, but I am getting sick of making pennies per line for the past 10 years doing medical transcription and getting no where. Anyway, I was just curious if anybody knows anything about this potential scam??  Thanks!

Go to your local police station and file a report with them. After you do that, call the Frederick Police Department and file a report with them. If she has scammed you, don't wait for your equipment. She DOES NOT have any equipment. The Police Departments phone number is 580-335-7503 or 580-335-7504. Fax number is 580-335-2301. Sgt. Joe Rodriguez is on Military Leave in Iraq, but any officer will be able to help you. Hope this helps.....
Accreditation matters. It helps to avoid scams, but not always. sm
Pick a good school. It is extremely difficult to get hired immediately, even when graduating from an accredited school. It is a hard row to hoe. Most companies require at least 2, usually 5 years of time on the job. They just don't have time to train new MTs.
Heavens to Murgatroyd! Offshore scams? Who'da thunk it?
All my illusions have been shattered.

Since it seems as though you work for Instant Text in some capacity, can you tell me if there is a free trial available, or if there is a time period for return of the product?
I'm considering it, but I hate to pay that much without seeing if I can get the hang of it.
Thanks!
Not Kristen here, but
When I purchased IT, there was no free trial download, but they did allow returns within 30 days. I still have the program, but have not been using it because of a glitch that IT tech support apparently was unable to figure out. I e-mailed Kristen and called her, as well as e-mailing tech support (I had sent one e-mail prior to calling, then e-mailed one of the glossaries to both her and tech support per her instructions. I do not like to bug people, so waited a couple of weeks before contacting her again, only to have her tell me they did not get my e-mails . . . why did she not contact me, I wondered, having already spoken with me and being aware of my problem???)
It seems that they were baffled by the glitch, and I have gotten no help from them at all. The glitch is that I had created several glossaries for different docs, and when I would choose a short, letters would be sometimes added in and other times missing from the expansion IT produced, although in looking at the entry in the glossary the entry had been made correctly in all cases. I never had time to try and figure it out, but the program was just slowing me down because I would have to go back and fix the error it had created, so I wound up having to set the program aside and have not gone back to it still. I am really disappointed, because I was so excited about getting IT and thought that it would be so great, and I really don't have $200 to burn, but so far it looks like that's what I've done. For the cost of the program, I really would have expected a little more from their tech support (who, by the way, NEVER contacted me at all after my e-mails and phone calls to Kristen . . . so, I guess I would have expected a little more than NOTHING from them.)
I've not heard of anyone else with this problem. However, at the time, I had just bought my computer, and had experienced no problems other than with IT, and still using the same computer with no problems.
Question for Kristen...
Thank you so much for the "heads-up" on ScriptWave.....have a phone conference on Monday with them.....Does ScriptWave work with satellite connection? Thanks so much!!!
E-mail me - I can steer you in the right direction to get your money back from Ms. Pineda.
BTDT.
No e-mail addresses posted, please. Goldbird
Kristen, you've got at least 3 people on this board
that say you've scammed them. Are all three people liars??? It's not that hard to do a criminal background check on you now that we have your name. And it would not be hard to obtain your SS# after that either to find out what other states you've done this in.
They're out there not using that name, too. Run an ad for MTs from Az., I think, signs it Kristen
