Myself and two or three others have been scammed by Michelle Thomas the owner of the business - Shabby To Chic.  She has now disconnected her phone, her Shabby to Chic Facebook page and her google online business account.  Her store front has been mostly emptied.  One of my pieces she was going to paint is still in that store.  The other piece is no where in sight.  What started out as a one week paint job has now turned into 5 months of put offs, lies, promises to deliver, non-answers, avoidance. Does anyone know who owns that small shopping center?  It is just west of the Starbucks located at Green Oaks and Kingwood Dr (or Forest Way).  Has about 2 or 3 other businesses in it.She scammed another gal out of over $2000 and another I spoke to was treated poorly. She finally did pick up her furniture but was not able to get her money back.

Stop by an adjacent business and find out the owners number.  Most likely they will go by and open up for you to get your stuff.
 
@Fallon:
 
I'd do what Fallon says. Sorry to hear this . 4951

Her husbands business is Thomas Fencing.  They are scam artist together. Do not use his business to do your fencing needs.  I have even texted him asking to let me get my furniture back.  No reply!!! 4951

That stinks! Sometimes the news does stories on stuff like this... Maybe they can help y'all??
 
I was having problems with a vendor once, and all I did was email a news station, and I cc'd that vendor and I got my money back (after about 2 weeks of trying other things). It was an alarm company that put a hole in my roof. News never came out... I guess it scared the vendor, though!! 4951

@GoldenGirl: But it seems they no longer have a business.   But at this rate they will not have one again, at least under the same name anyway

I have also been scammed by this woman recently. I posted an ad on beg Barter Buy looking for someone to build a dining room table. She contacted me. I paid half which was $770. She said it would be 4-6 weeks. It is now week 8 and she has stopped returning my calls. Is it possible to get the authorities involved in this situation? 4951

Best to look at the reviews on these businesses. Looks like someone lost 4k. Pay for services rendered merchandise site seen. Don't drop a wad of cash and expect someone to do a job. Do the job first then produce the cash. Goes for anything housework lawnservice car work whatever. Common sense.. If the business does not want to play by those rules move on. 700 square miles of Houston and a business on every corner.  4951

@donnatella: you ALWAYS expect to pay some money upfront for custom work. the term is a deposit and it is like a down payment on an order, be it custom work or specially ordered merchandise. businesses do that because of unscrupulous customers. better advice might be to research the business you are considering doing business with before you proceed. check the better business bureau. check the local law enforcement for complaints about the business.do your due diligence as a customer and a consumer

@Cbilliot12:
Doubt it, gotta find her first, maybe theft of services but that is a long, expensive road to travel. Small claims court, but that will only get you a judgement since it appears she is already out of business. Some people are just plain dishonest.... 4951

It has been turned over to a detective. So far we don't have much. I have been traveling, tomorrow I will try to get you her name and number so you can report your claim too!

@Rockinr75   @Cbilliot12Dudes, put this scammer on blast by taking her to Court on Judge Judy..... .....Or at least Small Claims Court here in Harris County.....And if valid evidence, file charges, my friends....  Hold her accountable for her actions....P.S.-  I'm really sorry, you two....  Scamming, thieving, lying jerk-wads are just that:  Scamming, thieving, lying jerk-wads....
