File the claim. Even if it's just in principle.
I was scammed out of $2,000 back in 2002 buying a MacBook on eBay the guy took the money, never sent the computer. After months of stress and chasing dead ends (payPal protection topped out at $200 back then) I filed with the FBI since it was across state lines. Three years later I got a call from an agent that they had prosecuted the guy and I was getting two payments of $1,000 from him. |

Shitty deal. It's obnoxious because taking legal action to actually get your money back effectively requires a class-action lawsuit, and you're not going to get a lawyer to take that on for only $14k total. Everyone could individually sue her in small claims court, but that would be a huge hassle for only a couple hundred each.
I suppose it's not out of the question that you could get cops involved to go after her for fraud, but again, that's really tough when it's a little from a lot of people rather than a lot from a single entity. I agree that it would be nice if the Falcons just covered it, but the fact that they're calling it a "legal matter" and not commenting tells me that they have likely decided that they're not liable and aren't willing to step in. In the end, about all you can hope for is making is so that she can't do it again. At a minimum, she has no business operating as a non profit. (IANAL, so I could be off on all of this - just my gut feel of how I see it going down.) |

With the SB coming to town soon, its not good that visiting fans to ATL are getting ripped off by a person who has a huge 1-2 story picture of her inside the stadium where everyone can see it from your seats. Appeared in ATL promo's and commercials. Police cant find her? You see a pic of her? She stands out in a crowd and has attended every home game since she ripped us off. Just go to the game. To her exact seat. She's the one dressed up as a bird for crissakes.

No shit. They go to her house. She doesn’t answer the door. Police: we can’t find her. TV reports on her scam. Escalated to the state Attorney General office. We told the police that she’s at her regular seat at every game. Now, they decide to check there after the local media story and the attorney generals office now involved.

This place has better lore than 98% of media entertainment. And if it weren't for The Sopranos it would 99%.

Glad they got her. Hopefully people get their money back, but I wouldn't hold my breath. Regardless, hopefully it prevents others from being scammed in the future.
