They don't have things to collect. They're broke. They pay their rent just enough not to get evicted. They drive barely running cars, if they even own a car. And they hop from job to job, always using their "hardships" as a scapegoat.

She has nothing. What do you expect people to get from her? Everyone in this thread can waste their time chasing her down so they can split a coffee table that might be worth $30, or they can move on with their life and chock it up as a lesson learned. The latter makes much more sense.
You and I clearly disagree on this point which is fine

This is my view, if con artists get away with coning people then they will keep on conning other decent people because they can and if none of their victims take action and make them face the consequences through legal or illegal actions then these scammers will continue to scam people.

You say Tala has no money but how do YOU know this? Did you get that info from her blog? If that is so, then how do you not know that it was merely a lie? Finding out info like that would be enough info to discourage an honest person like yourself. Personally, I wouldn't trust that info. I would need to see for myself if she was broke or not

Sorta makes me wonder about other things that people in this thread have mentioned like her operation, how do people know that wasn't a scam as well? Anyone got any proof that she had an operation at all? How much money did she rack up from that collection?

From this thread I know it was at least $1000 that Soul Rebel donated, Sly if Tala had just scammed people out of about $1000 in total I'd fully support your view but it seems to me that she scammed quite a few people out of a decent amount of cash.
