Anyone ever worked with Martha Allen?

Any experiences with her? She asked me to do time payments on some models, and I couldn't find anything on her on MHHR.

She is purchasing 4 of my models with time payments. I was looking for information on her too! So far she has been great to work with - timely responses back to emails etc. I'm hoping it continues to go well! I was a little hesitant since her name doesn't crop up anywhere nor her email address that she is using.

Oh hmm....and now that it's being questioned she told me she's moving and gave me an address. I just google searched it and I think there is no actual home there. Something does indeed seem fishy...

I emailed her and told her the address isn't pulling up a residential home and asked her to provide references.

Ah, so I emailed her and just said that I wasn't able to find a reference for her in the model horse land and noted that her address pulled up a park. Here was the response:


"Since it so obviously seems that you are untrusting and its my experience that if someone is that suspicious its usually because THEY themselves are doing some shady things. I am not comfortable with entering into a transaction with you on these peices any longer. It is NOT you that would be out the money but ME. So I obviously have alot MORE then you to lose as you retain the models that I am paying for until they and the shipping are paid in full. More like a layaway I guess. But whatever. I will look elsewhere. They are on Ebay but its far easier to pay a little more and buy them one at a time then deal with someone that I NOW am beginning to doubt their integrity and honesty. As for the price of the models. My GOD they are under $100.00 and I didnt know that adding a $15.00 horse would make or break you. Pardon me. Cancel this transaction as I will not be treated or insinuated that I am NOT honest in any ways shape or form. Have a nice day."


So...yes....I guess I will not be able to complete my feedback on the transaction. Enter at your own risk! I would give her a yellow light.

That's interesting to read. She sent me an MHSP inquiry on my Sunny Weathergirl and I quickly responded last night...and haven't heard anything since. Odd.

I was contacted by her on my Weather Girl Thunderstorm - was quick in responding on 4/28/12 and within a few hours we had exchanged information and the sale was confirmed. However, she indicated no PayPal account and wanted to send MO. Told her I would hold the horse for one week for arrival of payment. I have not received the payment as of this date, well over a week (gave a few extra days for any postal delay of any sort). Have emailed her back and no response. I had two others interested in this horse so I am moving on. If payment is received it will be returned. The zip code she gave was Roanoke, VA. So I am wondering if this person is actually another alias of Amy Jernigan? The email address also has a year within it - which I believe someone indicated in another post is common with email from Amy.

Amy has contacted me 3 times this week using her real name and email ajernigan@xxxxxxx.net. So it doesn't look like she is using an alias.

Wow, she really wants whatever you are selling Natalie!
Even if Amy is contacting you using her real name, she does seem to be actively using aliases at the same time, and the Roanoke zip does seem to be the clincher. Oh, and you're right Lindsey, Amy does have a history of using alias email addresses with "dates" in the title.

Slight overreaction there.

Here was the address I was given. She stated she was "in the middle of a move" [street address removed] Burrell Street, Roanoke, VA 24014

Is that the address you thought showed up in the middle of a park? Because it's showing up as a house for me on GoogleMaps.
