Complaint 25812 Details

Catherine Hamilton is the owner of Catydid's and www.catydids.com, a clothing retailer located in 1321 Phoenixville Pike, West Chester, PA 19380. Her phone number is 610 506 9765 and her fax number is 610 692 9394.

This individual has made an art out of scamming and blackmailing the vendors she purchases her merchandise from. No clothing manufacturer should sell her merchandise, at the risk of being a victim of blackmail. No consumer should purchase merchandise from her, that money would end up supporting a lunatic and a criminal.

Her scam is simple. She places an order, pays for it, and right before shipping she DEMANDS a discount. When the discount she is offered is not to her liking (she will demand nonsensical amounts, 30-40% discounts), she threatens to cancel the entire order. When told she is welcome to do so, but cancellation and return policies clearly stated in the invoice will apply, her real threats begin. She openly threatens to tarnish the vendor's reputation if she is not given her 40% discount. She promises she will lie if she has to do so. When the vendor doesn't budge, she starts screaming, cursing, and when nothing else works, she starts crying, begging for the discount.

Afterwards she calls for several days, threatening anyone who answers the phone. If we lived in the same state we would have placed a restraining order against her, but we are thinking of reporting her and her company to the police for terrorist threats and blackmail attempts. For now, we have retained a lawyer and we are going to start proceedings to take her to court.

Vendors: do NOT service her orders, unless you want to fall victim to her scam.

Consumers: do NOT purchase from Catydid's, catydids.com, and Catherine Hamilton. There are plenty of decent human beings out there for you to financially support individuals like this.
