ShanMods...anyone know about it?

My order is 2233. I know the graphics have been done because I've seen the pictures she posted. She's supposedly been installing parts for almost 2 months. I see she has time to make stuff and sell it on etsy but she can't finish the mods people have already paid for?

I remember when she posted pictures of finishing your graphics on FB......I would call the police in the town she lives in file a complaint . I bet you money they know of her by first name. I'm sure she has a record.

I pre ordered a mod from her in March of this year. I knew there was a delay in the DNA chips but once I knew that the chips were being sent out to everyone and Shan kept saying she didn't have them I knew something was wrong. I stayed on her about getting the mods done and shipped out but kept getting excuses and promises one after another. In August I told her that if my mod wasn't shipped in a week I would file a charge back with my CC since I had 6 months to do so. ( Paypal is 45 days ). She responded and said she was going to have to sell her personal stuff to get money to pay for shipping. I asked what happened to the money everyone pre paid for the mods and shipping go. She said she spent all the money from everyone on personal stuff and was broke. WTF?...... Well within one week I had my mod......What a piece of junk it was. The tactical buttons fell off first day and so did the magnets holding the back on. The mod was made out of cheap plastic and the 510 connection was very cheap also. I think the most expensive part besides the chip was the SS fire button. Anyways luckily sold it to some guy that was desperate for a DNA30. Being curious I watched her post excuse on her FB page on what was taking so long. Her last one was she had heart and health issues and was broke. I think drugs is her real issues looking at how skinny she has gotten lately..... I think if other are lucky to get their mods then good but I believe most are out of luck since she closed her website and FB page......Well not exactly.....Found her under a different name on FB and now her thing is making clay stuff and selling it on Etsy. I know she reads sites like this and tries to stay ahead of the people looking for her but here is her latest FB page. Different name than she had a few days ago but its this one as I type this. Probably not tomorrow, lol....https://www.facebook.com/hadnnahS?fref=ts

LOL I get an error when I try to pull up that FB page..

already deleted?

She will change it again once she finds out people found it. She's on the run so to speak.

On Facebook its under........Shanndah Burkholder
 
I will be sending her a demand letter letting her know of my intention to pursue her in small claims court. The demand letter will verify if I have the correct address. It's my hope the letter will prompt her to send at least the parts.

I wish this was the 1950's and you could go get your money back 'the old fashioned way' lol.. even if you take this broad to court - I doubt she has any of the money left.. so its goes back to that famous debtor saying 'you can't get blood from a stone' ..
 
I've accepted the fact that I won't be getting my money back. I just want the mods or the parts. I'll finish them myself. If nothing else at least people who come across this thread will know never to do business with her.

In the meantime - Still might be fun making sure none of her other business ventures pan out.. I'm going to the point of messaging every person who follows her ETSY page and telling them that shes a scam artist.

There are several new post on her FB page in the last 2 hours. Under the name of Shanndah Burkholder ,which she is saying is her real name Hard to believe but people are standing up for her. She under some delusion that she has done no wrong. She is one clueless bitch. This gurl is one fucked up female(don't mean to put down the rest of the females here :)) lost in lala land. It's clear no money or mod will ever be sent now. She considers Shanmods now closed for business, she states it was never a business LOL as i say she is one messed up girl.

Count me in too. I've emailed her and I did file a dispute with Paypal, but it's been way too long to get my money. When I emailed her, I did let her know that we can probably work something out, but I feel like an idiot. Unless she is physically unable to send a message to all of us or have someone do it for her (she's got our email addys) letting us know what the heck is going on, she's really immature. It's a LOT of money she got from all of us. I'd be ok even if she said she doesn't have the funds to refund us.

Shan has been a member of the vaping community for more than 4 years and makes some very good quality mods. From what I know, she has been having health issues and was getting alot of pressure at FB about these mods. I do think that she will deliver them eventually and that they are going to be awesome! I do have a link to her preorder / repair list that is still active. If anyone would like the link, please PM me. I do not want to post it here as it does have some personal info on it that some folks may not want to share. As you can tell, I do not spend much time here but, I will check in daily for PMs over the next few days. :) Hang in there. I think that these will be worth the wait.

BTW- Be careful doing a chargeback through PP. Ecig related stuff is not allowed to be bought or sold through PP. If you or she are caught, your account could be closed and they would not honor the chargeback for an unauthorized transaction.

Well she's got a new Facebook page, she selling on Etsy...I've been waiting 7 1/2 months. Patience is over as far I am concerned. I'm not stupid enough to even mention e-cigs when filing a dispute.I'm out my money totally. Her pre-order list hasn't moved in over month. I'm 2230. I check it every day. You think I'm pissed off? She hasn't shipped anything for months. When you take 20k from a group of honest buyers who believe in you, you better expect questions eventually.

I have realized I'm not getting a mod or my money back. This is total bullshit.

Edit: the Google doc has been updated

Maybe she IS working...maybe it's a tactic because of this thread?

What you guys need to do is call the police department where she lives and report her. The more people the better.

I feel though for all those that put their faith in a mod builders reputation and so far have yet to receive what they paid for. I know nothing of this situation other than what I have read on the internet, so in truth it holds little merit other than my own opinions but I sure do hate to see so many people not get what they pay for. Shame this topic is not discussed more on all the podcasts.

I have been eyeing this one as well. If it was a dual battery I would have probably moved on it.
 
I'm just curious as to where some of you are getting some of your information from. 1) Shan is NOT a drug addict. 2) None of this was done intentionally on her part. 3) Where are you getting these numbers from? 20k, 15k. Did you see her paypal statements verifying these numbers? It's just a bad situation all around. And yes I understand where you guys are coming from losing money on product you paid for. But when a bunch of people started doing charge backs to her paypal which automatically withdrew the money that was in there for other people's mods and parts, what the hell was she supposed to do?! Then there was Evolv not honouring DNA warranties and not even sending parts. Again something beyond Shan's control. As someone who knows Shan on a very personal level I can assure all of you that it was never her intention to rip anyone off. Shan is not a scumbag scam artist. She worked 4 years building a name and rep for herself only for it to be ripped away from her. She was being harassed around the clock to basically work 24/7 making mods in which she barely made any money off of. I'm talking less than $30 per mod as profit. And I find it absolutely DISGUSTING you people are posting her personal address on her publicly. She has a small child at home, who's to say some crazy doesn't show up at her house?! I understand many of you are upset and feel ripped off but slandering someone and making threats is not the way to go about it. And you can thank yourselves for her Facebook being deactivated in reporting her personal facebook page as being under a false name, in which it was NOT.

All that may be true but what are the amends that are being made to the customers? Should they just say oh ok her mod business failed so I guess I am just out my money? Are there plans to complete the orders? The surface looks like she has just walked away without any communication to the other good people that put their trust in her previous good reputation.

Finally, you showed up, Shan, oh no, sorry, Trainspotting, You are the person we are looking for and apparently you've been hanging around at ECF.

As far as I know she's doing her best with what she can. You must understand she's lost everything. Car, internet and phone, etc. because of all this. She made the etsy page to try and gather some money from all that was lost to help out her business failing and you know, pay her electric bill before that gets cut too. Shan tries to keep in touch with her customers but when people email and message her saying the nastiest things on top of everything it's kinda hard for anyone to deal with that.
 
First of all, I am not Shan. I can assure you that. Just someone close to her who cares about her who felt SOMEONE needed to stick up for her. Also, I don't have an ECF account.

Let me say I having nothing invested in this ordeal so I may come across as out of line here, but I can say that imo someone that plays the victim when victimizing others is a sad thing indeed.

What about all the boxes and parts you showed on your facebook page? You may not have any monies to refund, but you could send everyone what you have done already.

Yup. I am very close to her. But no, not her.

OK, If your are really close to her and seem to be speaking on her behalf and I being one of the one's who ordered from her, do you know if she has any intentions to send anything at all to her costumers, (even if is just a bunch of parts, I mean I did pay for those parts, I would like to have them at the least.)
If you don't maybe you could find out and post that info here.

I pre-ordered a custom mod from ShanMods earlier this year. Understanding that it takes time I have been patient. There is a Google doc to let customers know the status of the order. But it moves VERY slow.

Recently Shan has taken down the FB page.

Is there anyone out there that has communicated with Shan lately?

TIA

James
I have one of her first DNA 30 mods she made.. took fucking forever. She is bitchy and now from my understanding she is sick I will never order from her again always whining on her site "BOOM BOOM out goes the lights" -Pat Travers
 
I will be making 1 post and 1 post only.

First, Trainspotting is not me. Just someone who has been supportive every step of the way. So back the eff off.
The accusations you guys are making are ridiculous. NEVER did I say I wasn't honoring orders. They will just be taking extra time, due to my circumstances. No one is playing the victim here. PERIOD. But I will not have you spewing BS or involving my child's safety.

You want FACTS?

I ordered parts in January, got them 5.5 months later.
I ordered parts in April, never received them after forking out 1210.00 of your money. Couldn't dispute it come Aug because paypal won't honor disputes after 45 days. In March I sent back 8 defective boards, of which I never received... months and months later. 100's of emails, phone calls to Dimension Engineering, no response. Think I'm the only modder who got shafted? Ask around. But to make things right I went and saved as much of my profits as I could to go buy more chips, this time from Clouper [these are what I currently have]. So while you guys claim I'm scamming people. NO. I have spent my own money to do right, because that is the way I was raised. Where most of you are heartless I'll stick to the facts. At this point I stopped offering the DNA, because I didn't want to do business with Evolv any longer. Still, repairs are coming in. I'm still sending out emails to DI letting them know I still have 18 faulty boards, Steve's response after IDK how many months "Send them on back and we'll get you squared away" Like an idiot who had already been screwed out of so much money I sent them back in early Sept [I have tracking to provide proof of ALL of this], nothing. NOTHING. NOTHING. I then decided to try and open yet another Paypal dispute and switch over to the SX350, which surely this would fix everything and make everything right to others, right? WRONG. I dug myself deeper. I haven't touched a DIME of money from the mods since January. Not to pay my bills, nothing. It's why my car was repossessed and I still have to pay for it. IDK why my shop website is still showing as UP because that was cancelled when I couldn't make the 9.99 a month payment. Now this isn't me playing the victim, this is FACTS. EVERYTHING has been taken from me or shut off, other than my electric which I am struggling to pay. Oh wow! I made an etsy account, with my REAL name. Trying to come up with shipping money, that is being deposited in a friends bank account. I don't have a Paypal, that was wiped clean and negative over 5,000.00 by charge backs mainly from people who already had their mods [yet I'm the scammer here] I had to go to the lengths to beg a friend for 25.00 to even close it in the 1st place. My bank account was so over drawn that they closed it. You want to know more FACTS? The list you see, is the list that is STILL being completed, but you can thank YOUR VILE BS for me taking my time because the stress of THIS is no good to my health. For those who want just parts sent. Feel free to FB me once I get my account back since you all were so nice to report me for a fake name. Nah you idiots. My name is Shanndah Burkholder, my ID will provide proof and they'll reactivate my account once they get to my claim.

Now, to the fools claiming 15K, 20K, 25K I've scammed people? No, that's more like the amounts I've lost here, but who cares about my losses right? Exactly. As of right now, there are 18 mods TOTAL that I cannot complete because of parts I never received. 2700.00 is the FACTUAL number here. So instead of the people who have been so kind getting that shaft, the people who have made false claims, bad mouthed me, posted my address, or who have just been completely VILE... I will be putting your names at the bottom of my list. I will cater to the customers who have treated me with a little respect. To post my home address where over a dozen children live at these apartments, and my 6 yr old child lives here. ARE YOU EVEN HUMAN? You care so much about 150 - 180.00 that you are willing to risk the wellness of MY child. No, you just made it personal.

I am not on the run, I'm not going by any aliases, and I'm not changing my name to hide.

You cannot contact me by email because it was cancelled, you cannot call me because comcast suspended my service, and thanks to you LOVELY people you pulled my last form of contact by reporting my PERSONAL facebook because you threw fits over money. I removed my ShanMods, because I am SICK of defending myself, while trying to work on mods and keep a SMALL income to pay my electric bill via Etsy. I've had heart problems since I was 12, and the stress from the past 9 months has relapsed me and I am currently dealing with my Rheumatic Heart Disease [google that, and you'll see what I'm up against]

Is money really SO important to you that you would do this? So important that you would put my child at risk? So much that you would call me a drug addict for losing weight because I have been deathly sick? Get effing real.

I'm sick of the accusations. Sick of people thinking they know something about nothing.
I'll continue making these mods, shipping parts to those who have requested, but I WILL NOT justify myself any longer to people as money hungry and heartless as you folks right here. What happens if I stroke out and die from the stress? You gonna go after my kid next?

The police will be involved, but not as ya'll might think.
Thanks have a great evening.

Shanndah "Shan" Burkholder

No one can hide on the net. No exception for me.

You failed because you are immature and lied way too much to people who gave you money.

You are too stupid to realize those pre-order funds are not the money that you can spend freely on your personal stuffs in advance.

Don't you dare to blame Evolv on excessive RMAs. Your lack of required skills & intentions to get the jobs done efficiently and correctly is the only culprit. Of course Evolv wouldn't honor your claims as Brandon knows the fact that there're many so called modders out there who eventually don't know what they are doing and luckily you are one of them. How many defective returns do you have since last December? How many have you fixed? How many that you fixed and still got sent back to you for repairs again?

Being in vaping community for more than 4 years, you are just too proud to admit that you know nothing about quality of work & service and have absolutely no respect to those people who pre-ordered. Remember once you said that you wouldn't consider kissing asses on Facebook if you don't have to. Well, there's no need to do that on FB if you either issue full refund once you realize you cannot fulfill the order or deliver working products. Period.

Pyramid method, your ridiculous ego, and your ignorance ruin your business (wondering if there ever is one as you told the other customers).

Blaming no one but yourself who is not even street smart.

As far as I know she's doing her best with what she can. You must understand she's lost everything. Car, internet and phone, etc. because of all this. She made the etsy page to try and gather some money from all that was lost to help out her business failing and you know, pay her electric bill before that gets cut too.
