Email from the imposter....
Dear Muhsine,
I do not have the means to purchase beauty products and thought of a way to do so, some will call me an impostor, an opportunist, others, a very clever person.
You have been a blogger since 2008 and never asked these companies for products, which I think is YOUR fault, not mine. They were just waiting for you to ask and offer you anything you wanted but you didn't (so I think we both know deep down who the real idiot is).
Regarding these PR agents, your email address appears on your blog very clearly, and they've looked at your blog before sending me the products, it was their responsability to check that. They didn't do their job properly and would like to hyde their own incompetence and focus on my wrong doings instead, which is fine. But They should really asked themselves "I have been sold a lie" or "Have I BOUGHT a lie".
I must mention to you that I was offered baby products but refused (although I have friends with babies), out of respect for your newborn. So I do have a heart, a soul and certain principles & values. The fact that I'm trying to survive in this corrupted (without hurting anyone) doesn't make have less morals than you. We were all born in different circomstances, you more than me, you have great parents, family, friends, upbringing, education etc. I don't. For example, your baby is born in a very loving family, with both parents, wonderful grandparents and family, educated parents, British nationality, material comfort etc; Another baby somewhere in brazil might be born on the street struggling, suffering, going throught so much, without love. I don't think that the poor child should care much about the jugements of the slightly richer child, regarding his actions to survive. Therefore I do not care much about your opinion of me.
I do not live there so people at the address I gave are victims just like you and will be surprised & shocked just like you.
I have read your post and I would like to present you with my sincere apologies because it was wrong.
Best wishes,
This email was received shortly after I alerted my readers from the pretend email address. I wanted to reply to her on here instead and thought the rest of you should see too!!
OH MY GOD, yes what you did was wrong, and you are certainly not a clever person, you are an idiot. You have the nerve to call me an idiot? My manner does not allow me to respond to you in the way that I truly should. I did not approach those PR companies as I blog because I love blogging and it's an outlet for me, I have never blogged for free products and never will. let's get one thing straight, I do not come from a rich background and I shouldn't have to explain myself, I'm just an average person trying to make the best of things. I think you are extremely ungrateful, a thief and a liar. This country provides for people who are very unfortunate, so be grateful for what you have, it's obviously greed and stupidity that has taken over your mind. Don't preach about people in Brazil and expect me to feel sorry for you or honour the fact you refused baby products. I'm sure you are frightened and consider yourself clever for making up a lie about the address details, but nobody is buying that and it just shows you are incapable of telling the truth. The world wouldn't be as corrupt if it wasn't for people like YOU!

She has no scruples! And to blame that on not having a good upbringing, education, or whatever else is just wrong!
She should feel ashamed of herself! Hopefully the police do something about her and hopefully no other bloggers go through this all because of her greedy little hands.
i have no words for this trash.
Do people not realize that there are MANY girls (and boys) who blog because they enjoy it? Not to use it as an outlet to get free products. Seriously, is that what the whole "blogging community" come to? This girl is such an imbecile. And her reason is flawed and invalid.
If you want to move up in life, work for it sweetie, don't con your way.
This whole scenario made me laugh and shake my head at the same time, I'm so sorry you had to go through this.
I hope this is all sorted for you soon - I can machine what a hassle and a nightmare it is to deal with.
Thank you so much for sharing though, the rest of us bloggers can be more vigilant now we know this can go on.

But posing as an imposter to gain free (stolen) products make you have less morals than her. You really need to read up on your ethics girl, because that's considered immoral.
A lot of people don't have a great background while growing up but they don't use that as a crutch/excuse to do what you did. You suck it up, don't look at the past and actually work hard for your money and buy it with your own hard earned dollars. That's the beauty of growing up in a free democratic society that we're in: we can gain stuff if we work hard enough.
I hope you take all this to the police and this criminal is caught out. Whether it's using someone else's credit card or their personal email it is still IDENTITY FRAUD and it is illegal.
Best of luck and I hope everything works out xxxx
@annie, the TITLE of the post is email from the imposter so just skip it if it doesn't interest you. really quite easy to do on the internet
CLEARLY, someone needs to sort out their priorities...
There was a time when my family was in your position. My dad was fired from his job and couldn't find a new one because the economy was in the dumps (it was 2008, after all.) We were nearly turn out of our own home. It was only the kindness of our landlord that we stayed in our home. It was DIVINE intervention that my dad got the job when he did. Being homeless, penniless and having every person in you family on expensive medication that is necessary for life isn't the best situation.
I was there. Oh, I was there. I never thought to commit a felony. There is NOTHING worth committing a felony for. You could have sought the free assistance that is offered wherever you are. I know both the UK and the US have multiple programs for those that were put through traumas like a burglary. All you needed was to pick up a phone or look through a phone book (hey, you seem to have a computer. Google it!)
Felonies are never right. Felonies are not "clever." Felonies are for idiots. Reaching out for help is what intelligent people do.
Sincerely,
Katie
I think that your choice NOT to go out to contact companies to get freebies is in face a SMARTER choice because in the world of blogging and youtube, so many bloggers are getting negative views from their followers for "sponsored" reviews.
Your choice not to follow in that trend make your blog posts purely out of love for your passion and to connect with people who read and love your blog.
Thank you Muhsine for being so genuine with your blogging, I'm glad this person came out and hopefully they will no longer keep being an imposter.
I too could go on about this person but everything has been done so instead of degrading the person more, let them crumble in their wrong doing and I praise and thank you instead Muhsine! I have so much respect for you and look forward to reading more of your posts!
I mean e world has a lot of pple suffering yes we know that but who is she to try and tel us about one baby in Brazil and blame u for it.what's that got2do w u Muhsine,u can't solve world problems with free beauty products can you. Nearly all bloggers use their own money to buy products,we don't rely on PR companies to give us free products do we.
PR products are just samples,need not rely on that
This foolish person thinks she got away with identity theft. Well nomatter how long it will take the police are coming after u matey,could be days, weeks, months a year but they will catch u.
I bet the imposter has done this to others too. Hope the police catch her soon!
Fraud is not a small crime, the police will take this seriously!
Like you said - this country gives more than enough to the less fortunate. It's sickening!
So Dear Scammer,
you come from a malnourished background from the tropics of Brazil and your first priority is beauty products WHICH you apparently send to random people's houses AND claim to have morals of an average decent person?
Is it just me or does something not really click well here?? :S
Geez. Not only you attempt to make retarded justifications but you try to make YOURSELF look like the victim here.
Get a life woman, your OWN life, not someone else's.
Cheers.
I'm so speechless, who knows how many others this could be happening to, wow. I'm so sorry this had to happen to you. x

DEAR COLD-HEARTED SCAMMER! BUY YOUR OWN STUFF!!!!
GREETINGS NIHAD :)
PS. KEEP BLOGGING I LOVE YOUR STUFF!
This is nothing short to theft, deceiving companies this way.
Hope its not bothering you too much, try not to let it all get to you lovely!
xo
Put this incident behind you and get back to your amazing blog.
I hope Ezra is doing well.

This is so wrong on so many levels, that email to you is so rude.

Her behaviour is quite simply disgusting and her audacity is through the roof!
Muhsine, I'm so glad you found out and have been able to put a stop to it.
Hope you and Ezra are doing well.

It is hard to believe this person tried to play the guilt card on you! I AM from Brazil, and I can say I feel sorry for people that can make our country look like that. As far as I know there is no babies being born on streets, and if there were, it is our job to help, no to use this argument to justify mistakes like the one she made.
I hope you know that are brazilian girls like myself that really like your blog and do wish you all the best!!! =)
Hope all is well hun. xxx
why is she bring Brazil into it? and hide is spelt with an i not a y and i refuse to believe she comes from an uneducated background when she can write some english.
She is a pathetic sad excuse for human sperm.
ignore her what a stupid idiot. She is the idiot not you. And good on you for not contacting every PR company begging for products, you blog for yourself and it's a hobby not for free stuff like this thief.
Chin up Bubblegarm ignore that idiot!
Her excuses are ridiculous. I don't always have the money to buy everything I want but would never do anything like this to get it!
I hope it all gets resolved soon - your blog is my absolute favourite! x

Your action was indeed hit the spot. I love your authenticity and your blog. This person is a total liar. Her story doesn't make sense and the Brazil thingy? So, out of random. what an idiot. thanks for posting about the fraud. I wouldn't even know if such person does exist in this world. That's a good reminder for us beauty blogger.
your blog is fantastic.
Mollie xo
Many Blessings to you and yours!

You can't afford beauty products? Umm, I'm on the verge of going homeless and even I can scrounge up enough change on the street floor to buy myself a lipstick or a bottle of shampoo. Beauty isn't expensive, there's always honest ways around that. Besides, beauty is inside your heart. Your outward appearance means nothing if you're scamming people and stealing this way.
And as a Brazilian American who was just in Brazil visiting family, you know nothing of what it's like. I'm insulted that you even bring that up.
People who help themselves and fight an honest fight are the ones who proudly persevere. My parents, Braziians who imigrates here, taught me that. They both came here with nothing and have made themselves a comfortable life. Now it's my turn to put it all in the hands of the divine and work to pull myself out.
Karma is a b@%!&, there's no need to add that to the crap the economy has thrown on us.

Hope you're ok, must be horrible knowing someone has been doing this in your name!
It doesn't matter if you're poor/rich, come from a good/bad family, fraud and identity theft is still a crime!
I really can't believe that email...good on you for publishing it, and showing up how absolutely ridiculous they are!
She is trying to make you feel sorry for her, that she is underprivileged. Not sure when beauty products became a necessity in life. Also if you want something, you work for it. Most people work really hard for nice things and they do not always have a wealthy upbringing. I am really angry for you.
Not only that she could have/may have damaged your integrity with PR companies, especially if she was not found out.
Hope she gets found xx
The police will be able to check the IP address online and match it to the delivery address. Plain and simple. The Internet isn't really anonymous.
So if they live there it will show to the police. She's just trying to make you feel sorry for you so don't prosecute.

i'm so pissed off and it doesn't even affect me. wow. just wow. i'm sorry this happened to you hun :(
Total and utter lowlife!!

But good things come to good people, and bad things come to bad people, so I think she will get what she desverves! I definetly hope the police find her, because atleast under Norwegian laws this constitutes as identity theft which is a pretty big deal.
Its like shooting yourself and then saying "Well, its not my fault because the owner of the gun didn't do 'their' job to make sure it was unloaded."
*shaking my head* I'm so sorry you had to deal with this person, Muhsine. Much love to you AND to the sad person who did this to you. I hope they realize what they have done before they do it again and it goes horribly wrong.
Please, WTF do you mean by "another baby somewhere in brazil might be born on the street struggling, suffering, going throught so much, without love"???
What a ridiculous speech!!!
I could not believe what I was reading too...
This is proposterous, trying to persuade you she did a clever thing and that you and the PR's are just a bunch of dumbasses.
And then she has the nerve to say that she cannot afford things? Man, she uses a computer with the internet, she clearly has some money to make ends meet, so who the heck is she trying to fool?
Going out and preaching about poor people in Brazil? What the heck is wrong with this person?
Greedy vulture!
Report this person!!!
I really can't believe there are people capable of such audacity and demonstration of no character. Unbelievable!
I'm brazilian and I felt extremely offended to see the name of my country involved in an example of complete disrespect for people (you, your work and companies that have been damaged) and the laws. After all, anywhere in the world, this is called ideological falsehood and fraud.
Amazing how people can be such a nerve... argh!
By the way, I love Bubblegarm, you and your makeups and I hope you don't get discouraged because this episode.
kisses,
Giuliana
I think you handled the matter gracefully and with dignity. I wish you much success with the blog (one of favorites for the past two years).

I hope the police do their job and this person pays all the damage she has done.
Bubblegarm, you are one of the best bloggers out there. And I am happy to be a reader of your blog as many of us are. Keep on going and all the best!
You have a fantastic blog, by the way, keep up the great work!!
Do you have any soul, sister?!
Oh, god have mercy on you, you really need it.
