I have sent several money orders to celebrities who claim on offical websites or myspace/facebook to send them money orders and they will send an autograph back..
As many others have came through with this..quite a few for me have not
Trish Stratus
Chelan Simmons
Tuesday Knight
are all who ripped me off. this vexes me as they make alot of money and shouldnt provide information for things they cannot do. yes people would say, get a refund....but money orders refunds cost 15 dollars...making it pointless or alomst the amount orignally paid. I was just wondering if anyone else has gone through this.

Hmmm...that's never happened to me, but then again, I've never paid for an autograph.
Maybe you can report them to the Better Business Bureau?

Trish took me about 6-8 weeks after I purchased from her.

Maybe you should just be patient. Trish can take months and months.
How longs it been?

I sent to trish 8 months ago. I decided to actually vent to someone who can help; the people who run her site. They immediatly emailed me back and 11 days later my stuff came back signed with an extra signed photo.
If you find the info on a site somebody maintains the site. Go back there and contact them. It's not like they are looking to steal your 10-15$. It may have gotten lost, you'd be suprised how much get's lost. I had a birthday card for my 18'th arrive half way through my 26th year; LOL. It happens. I get you are upset, but we can't help and claiming that folks who have made millions have "ripped you off" sounds ignorant.

word...maybe the "rip off" part should be more like "careless D listers who waste my money" . anyways i have previously contacted chelans agency, and tuesdays myspace...with no replies months ago. i would do the same for trish but sending an email saying i sent you 10 bucks cash about 8 yrs ago wont do much lol.

No, I have never had the problem, but I think you should only pay with a credit card or paypal from now on. If a celeb website is legit it should have a way to pay online thru a third party that has a refund policy. Sites that request cash or money orders just sound suspicious.

Im actually going through something like that now. I ordered a mink stole autograph from her website in october. I was getting it for a friend for xmas. Well last week I tried to contact the web team to see if they could provide any info. When I sent the email it came back that it couldnt be delivered because the email was closed.
