Angelica Dubinsky sells on Ebay as ynglwyr - and if you do business with her she will publish your name and address all over the web. She sold a purse to Louis Capano (the son), and his girlfriend who live in Delaware. Louis was unaware his girlfriend made a purchase and questioned his credit card company about the charge - notifying Pay Pal that there may be a chargeback on the account. Pay Pal did NOT take Angelica Dubinsky's funds.

Before the buyer could respond to any inquiries by Pay Pal, the seller, ynglwyr (Angelica Dubinsky) sent this threat to her buyer (it's posted on the purse forum, an online website where nitwits hang out):

"The short and the sweet of it: over a month ago (March 17, 2011) I received payment for a 2011 Balenciaga and sent it to the address listed on the Paypal form. As the transaction was for over $250, I also chose signature confirmation and insured it. The transaction went smoothly - he received the bag on March 21 and left positive feedback.

At 2am today (over a month after this transaction), I received an email from Paypal notifying me that they are seizing that amount from my account because the buyer is claiming an unauthorized transaction. Needless to say, any thought of sleep dissipated and anger took over. I immediately provided Paypal the tracking information showing delivery to the address listed on the Paypal form (where it says "OK TO SHIP") and also requested the USPS records as to the signature confirmation they have on file. I cannot provide the PDF of the signature confirmation yet (which, by the way, clearly lists the buyers name as the signor) because the case is now "Pending Paypal Review" and the offices are closed.

This thief could not have picked a worse target: I'm a lawyer and my husband is a federal agent. Not only am I angry at suddenly having a negative balance on my Paypal account, I'm also angry that he had the balls to pull this stunt. Unsurprisingly, I took the opportunity to email him.

My emails to him are below:

I'm writing to inform you that what you have done by purchasing a new Balenciaga bag from me, receiving that bag, leaving me positive feedback on that transaction, and then filing a chargeback with your credit card company is illegal - classified as grand larceny as it is theft of over $1000 (and a class G felony in his state) - and is a state crime as well as a federal offense. As an attorney who is also married to a federal agent, I would like to inform you that YOU WILL BE PROSECUTED unless you contact your credit card company and tell them the truth. I have sufficient evidence to win this case with Paypal but if you force me to fight this, I will also make sure you go to jail. In fact, I promise you that I will not stop until I see you behind bars.

I look forward to a swift and speedy resolution to this case.

My second email to him wasn't nearly as nice:

In addition to what I've already written, not only does the USPS track where they ship packages, they also keep records of who signed for them and I have YOUR SIGNATURE on file (attached) which proves that you received the bag in question and have kept it (not to mention all of the other evidence of your active involvement in this transaction, not least of which was you leaving positive feedback on my account for this transaction).

Be advised of the following:

1) tomorrow morning, I am calling your local police station tomorrow to file a police report charging you with theft.

2) I am also going to contact your credit card company to notify them of your fraudulent claim. Unfortunately for you, this is EXACTLY the field within which I practice and I can't even begin to describe how seriously credit card fraud is viewed and pursued by these companies. Yes, this means jail time for you.

Again, as an attorney who also happens to be married to a federal agent, you could not have picked a worse person to try and steal from. I hope you can afford legal representation - you're going to need it.

This thief's eBay name is leo1329

I'll keep you updated of the developments. And I'm NOT going to stop at just getting my money back. I think it's time these scammers got what they deserved and I PROMISE that I'll do everything in my power to make sure this bastard ends up behind bars. "


This woman graduated Tulane Law School in 2009 and there is no evidence she is a licensed, practicing attorney in the state of Louisiana. She's unemployed and writes on the purse forum non stop, writes her own fashion blog (cough cough) and also writes free articles for the Examiner online.

Her boyfriend (husband?) ... the "federal agent" she threated her buyer with ... is an employee of the National Labor Relations Board in New Orleans. His name is Corey Cleve and he's an examiner for the NLRB. NOT a Federal law enforcement agent as she threated to her buyer.

Lie much, Angelica?

The thread had Mr. Capano's name and full address in it. That information was left up and visible for over 24 hours despite the owners of the purse forum being told repeatedly that it was not allowed by the site rules. However the site owners clearly wanted to get that information out there and thought that broadcasting someone's private information was fine.

Mr. Capano and his girlfriend have been called, among other things, in the thread, a murderer, accessory to murder, a thief, a scammer, a criminal, a philanderer, someone who deserves to be in jail, and a fraud. This by someone who violated Ebay and Pay Pal's rules by taking confidential account information obtained during a transaction, and violating Pay Pal's and Ebay's rules - PUBLISHED that information publicly and then sent it via PMs and emails to untold others, which she admits to in that thread.

Angelica Dubinsky filed a police report - which is filing a FALSE REPORT - even though Pay Pal released her funds and no chargeback was granted. There was NO CRIME COMMITTED. NONE. Angelica would like to have everyone believe that a man that is worth millions, if not hundreds or millions, tried to scam $1, 000 purse and that a police report was appropriate to be filed - even though no funds were taken back from the seller.

I hope Mr. Capano (who has been sent the thread and notified of the libelous allegations made against him) will take legal action against Angelica Dubinsky (who is not a practicing attorney), her boyfriend/husband Corey Cleve (at a minimum file a formal complaint against him with the NLRB in New Orleans for abuse of his position and letting his airhead twit wife/girlfriend threaten others with his job position), and also file with the state bar of Louisiana against Angelica Dubinsky for her actions.

Lastly, Mr. Capano should talk to the police department in Delaware about filing charges against Angelica Dubinsky for filing a false police report.

Those are not the same color - I bout one in wheat and another in a lighter color (sorry, can't seem to think of the Bal name right now) but not ended up liking either. I have no problem being checked out - I have nothing to hide - so absolutely ask questions.

Ladies, thank you so much for your support! I went to sleep around 4 this morning (anger + adrenaline) so I am going to be a little slow. Even so, the first thing I did when the alarm clock rang was check for emails from the scammed - no such luck. I don't think he'll email - there is nothing for him to say that can help him and anything he does say can hurt him... But then, it always does surprise me how dumb some people can be so I'll keep my fingers crossed. As soon as my brain starts up again, I have phone calls to make! He seriously messed with the wrong girl! "


"UPDATE: Paypal has removed the hold from my account but I'm nowhere NEAR done with this scammer. Like I told them on the phone, I have a few phone calls to make to a few police stations in Delaware. I hope he's strapped in for his very own sh*t storm. "

^ If she followed the few guidelines on paypal, she will be covered under the seller protection policy no matter what happens with the chargeback. I can only hope she's on the phone with paypal now.
I would like to kiss you in thanks but I just woke up so a virtual kiss should have to do! I called Paypal and was firm but polite and the hold was removed, just like you said. I was braced for more of a fight but at least my money is safe.

As far as the scammer though, he's not. I know that there have been many scam stories here - few with positive outcomes - and my heart went out to each and every seller. No one deserves this. But it's hard when you have to juggle a job, a family, kids, bills, and the stress of it all -- many give up. Unfortunately for the thief, I happen to have nothing BUT time to put him away, as well as the resources and ability to do so. Maybe it'll be a small consolation after being scammed but I will not let him get away -- I'm going to call EVERYONE I can (including the fraud departments of CCs -- this is literally what I do for a living in insurance defense, protect companies from scammers!) to make sure this guy goes away. I was merely angry last night. This morning, I may still be a little sleepy so I'm not angry but I'm determined and that has always been the worst side of my temper. "
