The person known as Kazakai or candy_striped36  talked me into sending them one complete doll, and two heads for free customization. I was going out of the country and they would be gone while I was.

I sent the dolls out June 25th, one complete Luts El dressed, one Volks School Head A head and a Luts Dreaming Vampire Shiwoo head along with a bunch of clothing and accessories totaling $1500 in value. The original deal was that candy_striped36  would provide pictures of their dolls and mine as well while I was on vacation.

It took me until August 23rd to have the money to ship them home. I paypalled $45 then - $5 more than what it cost me to ship them. On top of that I had to start stalking candy_striped36  to try and find out about my dolls. as soon as I mailed the Paypal money, they became very unresponsive. I had to ask their room mate bakubaku  to even see what candy_striped36  had painted my El like!

My dolls still not have arrived after about 3 supposed shipping dates have come and past. candy_striped36  claims to have been sick and in the hospital, but it has past the point where I can be sympathetic anymore. It does not take this long to send dolls out.

Now candy_striped36  is not answering my attempts to contact them. It took me threatening police action Thursday 9/20/07 to even get them to call me in real life to discuss what has happened. When they called, candy_striped36  was VERY abusive and called me a b*tch and a c*nt and a whole slew of horrible things. They screamed over me and did not let me get one word in. They made excuses and tried to snowball me into accepting that it was not their fault that my dolls had yet to arrive. candy_striped36  even tried to hint that were I not in Texas and they in Ohio, they would have attacked me physically by now for "starting drama." Oh top of that, they admitted to loosing my dressed doll's wig, an eye out of one of my heads and some other clothing (though they would not admit what) all of this after telling me this stuff was missing two weeks ago and never once attempting to locate any of it.

I am in the process of filing a police report right this very moment. This has gone beyond the realm of the internet and working with people, and I am taking legal action to either get back my dolls or their worth. I would prefer my dolls. I'll take what I can get though. I refuse to be used.

I just wanted to let this out into the Internet what I have been experiencing. They have threatened me and have been very abusive. No one deserves to be bullied and have their most PRIZED possessions stolen.

EDIT 9/25/07: Still no dolls.  The police report was filed on 9/22.  I will post more on this community once I have heard from the Detective that is assigned to my case.

EDIT 7/08/08: I realized that I never edited and said my dolls came home.  They did.  They returned about 10/02/07

A picture of the whole doll (the chap in white) and one of the missing heads. I miss them so. :(

Are you a Den of Angels memeber? You really should look at this thread:

Yea, I foolishly thought that since Kazakai and I were friends that this wouldn't happen to me.

I just spoke with them on the phone. They claim they are shipped. I asked for a tracking number. They said they didn't know which one was mine.

She always uses that excuse.

I'm sorry this has happened to you, but yeah...Kazakai is just...Not someone to be trusted, as you've sadly learned. =(

I do really hope you get your dolls back. I'm sad to think of what shape they might be returned in. =(

GL. *hugs*

Maybe you can add this on to the thread at DOA to get it bumped up.

I definately think it is worth your time to get the police involved. I'm sorry this happened to you (especially since you considerd this person your friend).

Yeah, Kazakai is banned from DoA and on just about every bad traders list in that fandom because of things like this. I'm afraid the only way to get your dolls back is to go to the police.

Call the cops back and tell them to recieved threats against your physical person if you haven't already as well.

What a psycho - there is no excuse for behaviour like that.

I hope the cops kick down their door.

Yeah, Kazakai is banned from quite a few forums for being a pretty well-known scammer.
She's done this before. I hate to be a downer, but I doubt you'll be seeing your dolls again.

The last person Kaz tried to con did get her stuff back according to the DoA thread, but I would say carry on with the police report and don't close it until you have your stuff back. >_>

Kaz has gotten away with this for too long, and needs to be taught that this behaviour is unacceptable.

Also, if the items are returned damage (Kaz is vindictive enough to damage them) then carry on pressing the charges.

I'm so sorry this happened. It makes me absolutely sick that Kazakai is still getting away with this shit, and people are still supporting her for it. I really hope you get your dolls back, and in good condition. And I hope others learn not to make the same mistake.

I had the same thought! Really, we aren't all unstable here in Ohio!

I was talking about your story with a co-worker Blanche, and she said that it's a felony charge since the amount worth of the dolls is over $1000!!! I hope the police get her all that she deserves. All my support to you hun!

I may be mistaken (but I'm 99% sure) but I think this is her DevArt account: gutterface.deviantart.com if you're in need of another anvenue to contact her. I'll be taking her off my friends list now I guess =/

Best of luck getting your boys back

Seriously take her off your list and DO NOT LISTEN to the smoke screen that she will try and give you.

Kazakai is NOT a nice person. She is NOT considerate and she will ONLY try and find a way to use you.

Hiya! =D I found this via a link on dA. I know you posted this awhile ago, but I was wondering:

http://gutterface.deviantart.com/art/Laudanum-86668758

The shirt that dollie is wearing, is that the same shirt that you're dollie is wearing? Cause it looks like it, but I cannot tell.

I'm sorry that this happened to you, and I hope that the police can help out and get your dollies back! *hugs*

It was because I thought we were "friends" and she had promised to take pictures of my dolls with hers.

I ended up recovering everything but a couple of pieces that I then replaced on my own. Beware Kazakai. You can read all about her exploits here.
