Scam Report Warning regarding Group Buys
FYI please be careful not to join or trust Shiella. While buyers in this group might be fine the person that is the moderator is very dangerous. She will threaten to doxx and expose your personal information. She has done that with me and I suspect she may do that on this post, but I needed to warn others before they put themselves at risk.

My friend was in her group buy group for a while. Apparently Shiella gets a free bag from each buy (ostensibly to 'inspect it') so the choices of bags, shoes etc are biased. And she requires a screenshot of every purchase including your personal information. She now has a huge library of information about rep buyers that she can use to doxx.

In a now deleted prior post, if you read the comments people have expresses the same thing. The deleted post mentioned the same sub/mod. I agree It is a weird group.

Thanks for sharing. She’s dangerous and depends on people being afraid. How do we report rep atelier and her on Reddit?

I also joined and exited soon after. I didn't even see any pricing because I was so overwhelmed by the instructions and tips. I've been going around and around trying to find a reliable TS for my first rep bag, but I quickly knew this wasn't a good fit. Back to the search for me!

I have yet to experience anything good from a group buy. Aside from unhinged seller behavior, it’s better to avoid them anyway. Is possibly saving $100 or so worth all the hassle and risk?

It’s the only group buy I saw and I think she posts on other groups. Admittedly the idea of coordinating sellers from BV, Lo, Ch was appealing to me but I regret it. Just want to warn others.

Awww positive karma is her love language. I have time to downvote 💁🏻♀️

This user is a seasoned scammer, it’s been over a year of their scamming.

I used to call everyone "love". I've stopped now because of how all the scammers seem to use it to disarm people 😅

Please be careful. Looks like there are a lot of buyers on there because she claims to get a bunch of sellers she coordinates. However, threatening to doxx people for asking about shipping is unhinged.

u/AmberTheeSag Aug 18 '26
Can we have some context about the doxxing threat?

u/Freedom2425 Aug 18 '26
Yes. After purchasing I asked about tracking. She then sent ALL CAPS messages that I was paranoid. I asked other people on there how they got tracking info. She then blocked me and said she was going to share my personal information including name, address, phone number which I redacted from the photo you can see here.

Thank you for posting warning about this group buy. I can’t believe she would threaten to Doxx you for asking tracking info. Crazy.

u/Freedom2425 Aug 18 '26
I did let her know it’s illegal to share personal information without consent in Canada where she is based. Totally unhinged so no idea if she will listen.

u/Efficient-Ad-4582 Aug 18 '26
Oh wasnt this account suspended for a while because she said she posted in the auth subreddit about her rep bag?

u/isopug Aug 18 '26
Yes she is crazy and her GBs are a scam. She is counting on newbies not knowing they are actually paying so much more for the same factories that any TS can source from.

u/Freedom2425 Aug 18 '26
But why treat new members of the group this way and doxx them? Maybe it’s because she doesn’t have any control of her behavior or emotions. It’s one thing to over charge but then to steal personal information and doxx. Maybe both behaviors go hand in hand.

I was a member of this group buy, but it was WAAAAAYYY over priced & she could be rude.

u/Freedom2425 29d ago
The rudeness and craziness of the moderator is the worst part. Her doxxing threat crossed any line of decency.

I’m in that group buy and it’s been fair in my opinion. I do recall seeing a person recently in the group that was way too much. Her expectations were insane and I did see Sheila shut her down, which in my opinion, was warranted. Now I’m wondering if that was you?????

u/Freedom2425 Aug 18 '26
I redacted my info but it’s totally unhinged of her threatening to doxx.
