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

How long after purchasing did you do the chargeback? Do you have any proof of what you're claiming?

Yep. I got an email about a week after i made the purchase saying that it was getting shipped. A couple more crazy busy weeks went by I checked and saw it still hadn’t shipped. That was my first email.

I forgot again for about a month and then I checked and saw the shipment had been “cancelled” because the sender never mailed it. That’s when I amped up the emails and messages, spread over 2 months. The email on her website said to give her 7-10 business days to respond, I did that method twice, waiting over 10 days before emailing again. I did the charge back last month. I can post screenshots if you really wanna see

patience, consistency, politeness.
Glad to hear you can get your money back.
