My note: The name of the person this was directed toward has been changed to "Henry." Also, the real names of other jewelry discussion lists have been replaced with (Other Jewelry Discussion List.) ----- Original Message ----- From: Discovering D&E Jewelry To: discoveringjulianaj ewelry@yahoogrou ps.com Sent: Saturday, January 12, 2008 9:03 PM Subject: [discoveringjuliana jewelry] Important Notice Hi All, Well I hate to leave bad news for the very end of the day, but maybe no one will read it until tomorrow. I am glad to hear that some of you received your auction wins from Fred Miller (aka Henry aka George Baily) because he is no longer in the group and neither is Henry. No one (Fred, Henry, George) ever paid the photographer and there has been plenty of time and discussion to let me know if "someone" had changed their mind, but I was led to believe it was still a go. We don't need the calendar for our conference fund, so let's do that as a group project and have our jewelry photographed well and sent back to you post haste. Also, Henry or George promised several weeks ago to donate D&E jewelry to our group and group archives to be showcased and introduced at the conference. For weeks we have been waiting for the shipment but it has been delayed many times. I doubt it is coming. On Tuesday I was told it was somehow sent to the wrong person, wrong address, state and with no tracking or insurance information. I really don't know whether Henry is George Bailey or George Bailey is really Henry from the (Other Jewelry Discussion List,) so I will say one of them (or both) was Fred Miller donating jewelry to the auction. I try to give people their privacy when they ask to go under another name for posting purposes but that ends right now. Our policy is changing to reflect this. If you sign up in this group, you post and use your legal name. And if you are found doing this type of falderal in our albums you will be removed. While all this is going on, a member reports suspicious contact from someone using an ID that was not listed as a member of our group who is looking in our protected files and then challenged him to verify his DJJ status. He became defensive and wanted to know why that was necessary and then identified himself as Henry from (Other Jewelry Discussion List) to her and then minutes later as "George" to me to explain that he was in our files doing something without Henry's knowledge that he shouldn't have been doing. When I didn't respond, then Henry started writing to me using the same ID but I still didn't respond. I never heard a word from Fred. When I refused to reply, he sent another email informing me that if I did not write back or help him fix this mess they created, he would not honor any more auction wins and would leave me to figure out how to fix that with the winners. If you paid Friday for your auction wins, you will receive a refund on the amount one of them is not sending. If you had a pending invoice as of Friday, and you won something from them, your invoice was cancelled and a revised invoice will be sent to you. The (Other Jewelry Discussion List) has borrowed enough information from our group's ImageEvent account and our Yahoo home page. It was time to get them out. Now we begin our password change to be completed tomorrow. If any of you believe our higher level password may have been compromised too, let me know now so we can change that while we are switching the other out. Well, that about sums up my week, how was yours - boring? DEJ
