22 butthurt redditors gather to complain about an Instagram influencer that scammed them

1  2021-02-22 by Tobyghisa

Twiggy Levy - Halona Glass is an instagram influencer with 52k followers. Her bio goes as follows:

Doing my best! Artist that beat Ovarian Cancer, living on a little ranch in the New Mexico high desert mountains.

Her porfile is nothing out of the ordinary for Thotstagram. The artist part comes from her tinted glass shop, where she sells little handmade trinkets and then sends them to her customer.

Except she doesn't really do that last part.

Apparently, her MO is to just take the money in advance, stop communicating with her customer, when the customer complains she plays the victim, blaming first her suppliers and shipping companies, then moving on to blame cancer and ultimately the customer itself for harassing her. This has been going on for more than 2 years apparently

If they keep asking, she just blocks them.

This has enraged multiple people. Besides the abysmal reviews, there are three Instagram accounts with her name and scammer added so they show up when you look for her.

There is also a subreddit with 5 post that shares her name, which is how I found out all of this. It's a cringey hub of frustrated people that just hate on this woman, and it was a pretty fun read. Two posts are about "what do we do now that we lost our money?" the other two are by the same user, just reposting her stories and hating on her.

there is also a lounge for some reason.

It was a pretty fun read, so if little bundles of frustration on the internet are your jam, go look for it.

I actually think Twiggy gets a lot of unjustified hate. I believe her when she says she was ordered by her doctor not to work on stained glass, and I also know for a fact that glass is time consuming and expensive to create. So while I ordered in November 2018 and have not received my item, I am not angry about that. I fully knew the risks when I ordered and I think I will get it eventually.

Why doesn't she just buy trinkets on aliexpress and pass them off as her own like every competent Etsy "artist" does... it's not that hard sweaty

TBF what you said is harder than just taking money and ghosting people

If you've read the reviews it's clear she has had to spend a lot of time replying to pissed off people and repeatedly sending them bogus shipping information

I didn’t think you were serious. IMO she is delusional and narcissistic, she really thinks herself an artist that will deliver one day.

it’s not like it’s a clever tactic to scam people.

Still haven't gotten my sonichu pendant

What if it's actually a web of lies created by a single deranged person with a grudge? Many such cases!

We could only be so lucky

In all seriousness, the reviews do send people to the subreddit so you might be more right than I thought

The one two star review on there is kind of sad.
