Lawsuit Outcomes:
July 25, 2010 Lawsuit filed by Ullja Kuntze:
About the Online Fraud Investigation WebsitesOnline Fraud Investigation are two websites written by Ullja Kuntze. They are located at http://handmadeartisanfraud.blogspot.com and at http://www.onlinefraudinvestigation.com (both now defunct). The purpose of the Online Fraud Investigation website is to harm the reputations of online sellers who either 1) have spoken out against Ullja Kuntze's acts of consumer fraud and defamation, or 2) are small online sellers in direct competition with her. Ullja's accusatons of fraud are fabrications against online sellers who have spoken out against Ullja's acts of consumer fraud, acts which were in direct violation of Etsy's Terms of Service. She has also the site to defame those who spoke out against the website. How Do We Know Ullja Kuntze is the person writing the libelous posts on the Online Fraud Investigation website?A writing style comparison, along with "coincidental" purchases made using Ullja's Paypal account from the shop of every seller who has appeared on the Online Fraud Investigation website, built a mountain of circumstantial evidence large enough to warrant further investigation and led a group of artisans to file a defamation and fraud case (since withdrawn due to lack of funds) against Ullja Kuntze in Harrison County, Texas. Case information is available online at the Harris County Clerk's website. The case number is 200966253 and can also be located searching for Defendant name "Kuntze, Ullja". During discovery, Ullja Kuntze admitted to writing the blog and provided examples of the tax evasion reports she sent to the IRS but refused to remove the defamatory blog. This suit was withdrawn by the Plaintiffs due to a lack of legal funds, but Ullja's admission is proof that she publishes handmadeartisanfraud.blogspot.com. |
