    If we think we are being scammed on this site, how do we report it?

    Several of us are coming forward with similar stories of a possible dress scam by "beeslove". See:

    If you are receiving vendor solicitation by private message on weddingbee, please post to the Support section (top left hand) with a link to the WB profile of the vendor who is sending you spam.

    Unfortunately at this time we don't have any system of verifying sellers or buyers, but can definitely investigate to some extent. It's always wise to use paypal or another method of payment that protects both parties and to thoroughly research any purchases you're making before doing so.

    @daydreamwanderer: Thank you! Yes, paypal is best... this "seller's" claim that her paypal was broken and her request for me to therefore send a money gram was my tip that it was not a legitimate sale. I had tried to research the seller by searching the username and email on this site and others and google, but nothing suspicious came up, so I entertained her offer for a bit (until the paypal didn't work). I hope this helps other brides!

    I have also been contacted by this same person only from a different email this time! Her email id is dmgraz@yahoo.com. Please my fellow bees be careful. We don't want cruel people to ruin our happiness.

    In the classifieds thread about this, I just learned that beeslove has been banned from this site and the situation is being looked into. Here's the link:

    Just be careful... if someone can pose as a bee once and steal people's photos and emails, they might be able to do it again.
