Key Takeaways
- Alana Thompson faces fresh scam accusations from frustrated fans
- Her Vinted account was reportedly banned for suspicious activity
- Alana says customers’ orders were packed but never shipped
- Fans bring up previous controversies involving Pumpkin and Mama June
- Alana directs customers to Vinted support for refunds
Why Do Fans Think Alana Thompson Is a Scammer?
Previously, the reality TV star and former child beauty pageant contestant was ridiculed for begging fans to send her stars during her live videos.
Fans called it a blatant “money grab,” with several seriously condemning her attitude.
Now, fans believe she is trying to scam them out of their money by claiming that her business was abruptly closed.
Even though fans got a bitter taste of her elder sister Lauryn, who has faced complaints about delayed or missing customer orders, they seemed to have believed the future nurse Alana Thompson would be better.
Lauryn has since closed the online boutique to focus on growing her OnlyFans career.
With Lauryn out of the picture, Alana has decided to start her own Vinted account so that she can sell items she no longer needs to fans.
So far, so good.
That is, until the TLC star, who is known for the show Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, decided to cry wolf and leave her fans hanging.
Alana Thompson Claims Her Vinted Account Was Banned
In a statement shared on social media, she announced that her Vinted account had been permanently banned for “suspicious activity.”
She denied engaging in any “suspicious activity,” adding, “For everyone who ordered, I had all your packages packed and ready to go. The morning I planned to ship everything, I woke up to my account being banned.”
“Because of this, none of the orders were shipped, and I unfortunately can’t ship them out through Vinted,” she continued.
She went on to apologize for the inconvenience, adding, “Please contact Vinted support for help with your order and refund questions.”
Fans React to Alana Thompson’s Explanation
Fans, of course, were displeased by what they considered a flimsy explanation, and they made their displeasure known in the comments section.
“This whole family are pros at scamming people. Only a fool would buy anything from them,” one wrote, with another chiming in, “They only have an income from scamming people.”
