Fraud: Our Shocking Investigation and Uncertain Future (An Ebay Resellers Nightmare)

Being hit with an investigation for fraud was a shock we never anticipated. As Ebay resellers, we had to take a step back from creating KZbin content, being around lives, and other resellers videos while the investigation was ongoing. Now, uncertainty looms over our channel’s future. Will we continue making videos? Join us as we share our journey through the storm and explore what lies ahead.🎥

My goodness, someone was jealous! You stood firm and came out the winners, people can be bitter

[@TonksBoutique]

Yeah, someone was or just didn't like us! But it's over with now thankfully.

[@alievans7988]

That's awful! How stressful for you 🤗 much love to you ❤ glad it's all cleared up... you look beautiful Sarah, don't worry about a bit side effects from stress x

[@TonksBoutique]

Awwww thanks Ali, so glad its all over with now. Hope your sales are good. Have a lovely weekend ❤

[@AndysBrickCo]

From the other side of the M8 ignore the trolls and keep on doing what your doing half decent accountant and some insurance and let others fight any future fights should they arise.

[@TonksBoutique]

Thanks Andy, A troll defo had it in for us this time :-) We've got an accountant now, we spoke to him at a meeting last year before we knew about the investigation. Kind of perfect timing really. Thanks for watching.

[@johnkean6852]

So sad. I hate being wrongly accused of stuff its soul destroying

[@TonksBoutique]

It was soul destroying, just glad it's over with now. Thanks for watching and commenting John.

OMG how terrible, people can be so cruel. So sorry that you have been put through such a terrible ordeal. Well done for getting through it and you look great Sarah. Its tough when you put yourself on KZbin as you come under fire from all types of people when you are just trying to make videos to help people know what sort of things have value and what types of things to pick up. There are some cruel & rude people about and all you can do is try your best to not let them ruin your day. All the best for the future and stay strong. Love Paul & Marie xx

[@TonksBoutique]

Hi Paul & Marie. Thank you for the kind words ❤🤗 . Still a little shock to the system, even now when its all over with. When you're on KZbin you open yourself up to all sorts of people. Just glad it's over with and we can move forward now. ❤💙❤ Have a nice Day 🙂

[@emsdenuk]

@@TonksBoutique Thanks, take care you two, have a lovely weekend. 🥰

[@porky481]

sorry you went through that, it must be so stressful and even though you know you have done everything right you begin to doubt yourselves, the worst bit is you just want to get it sorted and you spend so much time waiting to hear from others, well glad it all got sorted, good guys 1 jealous fishes 0

[@TonksBoutique]

It was Porky and your right you do doubt yourself but it's all over with now thankfully. Have a lovely weekend ❤

[@limelightvinty]

What a nightmare! So glad you weren't found at fault. I had wondered why I'd not seen you in George's live chats for a while. Hopefully you can relax and move on now.

[@TonksBoutique]

Hi Limelight, with everything that was going on we just wanted to keep our heads down. But hopefully we will be around a little more now.

[@ThisisJo]

Oh my gawd. I actually guessed it might be something like that - I used to deal a lot with clients under investigation for benefit fraud, and sometimes HMRC fraud. I was a housing officer for a local council (no more, I quit my p/t in Jan - yay!) - and honestly, if I had a £ for the amount of people reporting their neighbours for fraud usually fuelled by jealousy, I’d be rich! They were always ‘friends’ too. I’m so sorry this has happened to you, I can only imagine the stress you went through. 😢

[@TonksBoutique]

We kept it secret from Sarah's mum the whole time until we got a decision and we sat Sarah's mum down and we said we have news to tell you. She thought Sarah was pregnant 🤣🤣Not a clue who could of done it, we have lil hunches but it's over with now so trying to forget about it. Thanks for the kind words. Have a nice weekend Jo ❤

[@ThisisJo]

@@TonksBoutique omg, what a secret to carry around. What a rollercoaster Sarah’s mum went on when you told her 🤣You guys are so genuine and seem so lovey and I hate that this has happened to you. Your banter makes me laugh every time, onwards and upwards, 2024 is your year to skyrocket your business.

[@TonksBoutique]

@@ThisisJo Thanks Jo, we thought we were getting a bit moody and grumpy in the videos because of what was happening, another reason we cut back. We do have plans to try grow this year. Hopefully we might be able to announce some news soon on that :-) thanks again x ❤

[@MoneyMentalUK]

Sorry you went through this. Sounds very stressful!

[@TonksBoutique]

Thanks Andrew. It was super stressful, just glad its over with now.

[@mcgregormcgregor6482]

I am so so sad, so upset that someone was so despicable to have done such a cruel and wicked thing. The stress and worry this has caused you both. So pleased so thankful that you are cleared and can just get on with whatever you want to do going forward. Huge cuddle to you both, God bless.

[@TonksBoutique]

Hi Jeannie, thanks for the cyber cuddle ❤ It was super stressful but more so for Sarah. Just glad its over with. We have 2 videos scheduled currently, so you haven't seen the last of us yet 🙂 but not sure what Sarah wants to do as shes still on a bit of a downer.

[@mcgregormcgregor6482]

@@TonksBoutique My heart hurts for Sarah, to see what this did to her, so upsetting, sending my love to you both, just take one day at a time, you both deserve the very very best. xx

[@TonksBoutique]

@@mcgregormcgregor6482 Yeah, you can see in the video it was still getting to her and she was scratching at her finger tips. Thanks Jeannie ❤❤❤❤
