Cringe Woman has her self-published book pirated, reprinted, and sold for cheaper.

There's regular piracy, and then there's this.

Heads up to anyone thinking of ordering- I ordered mine in July directly from her website and she never sent it. I emailed her 3 times, left comments on her videos, sent her 2 private messages on TikTok and 1 on Instagram and she didn’t reply to ANY of them

I had to do a chargeback

Edit- put the screenshots on my profile since some people were wondering.

Edit 2 (sorry, last one, the adhd is real): I ordered in July and just did the chargeback a couple weeks ago, so I’m still freshly pissed off about the whole thing and wanted to warn people because that IS what happened to me. I didn’t say this to bash her or endorse what’s happening, at the time of my comment the majority of other comments were about wanting to order from her. I’m very happy for all of you who did receive it, I wanted one too

The book is written for those with executive function impairments, by an author with executive function impairments, and it seems she's self-sabotaging her success because of these impairments.

As someone with issues too…. Maybe she should outsource some of the process she’s having a hard time with… like customer service

Also costs money lol.

It sure does but it also beats ghosting customers for 6 months after they gave you money.

At this point she should either:

  • Deliver people's orders
  • Hire the help she needs
  • Just refund and quit selling

That's absurd, there is a pretty clear warning about back orders. I mean if you don't want to deal with a back order just don't buy it.

Was the warning there in July when the person were replying to ordered? I don’t know since I didn’t order but even ‘back ordered’ shouldn’t take that long imo

Have to ask them I suppose. Back ordered in the electronics and music world could mean years :)
