Nazanene, did you actually buy the plates? You're going in 500% more than those whose money is actually at risk. Lol.
Anyway, I'm still giving her the benefit of the doubt although giving an extreme side eye to the website still taking orders and accepting people's money. That should be the first thing that should have been shut down once it was known production wasn't going ahead.
Kelechi, pleaseeeeeeeeee come back in here and interact with LHCF. If you ever plan to relaunch these plates or some other kickstarter project in future, please come back in here. If you think LHCF and other hair sites can't shut your quest for funding down, ask Taren Guy.......

And I noticed that she does not have Paypal as an option. Any website start up that doesn't accept Paypal automatically is a no no for me. I wouldn't trust giving my credit card information just like that.
Well I hope everyone gets their money back. Its too bad because one day someone really will have a good idea and be organized with it, but we won't help them out because of people like this.

Did you read the thread at all? Yes I donated
I didn't know you donated.
I'm the type that I wait stuff out and wait for feedback before buying something. As tempting as the iphone 6 is right now, I'm just going to wait. I hear it good and then I hear it freezes. My sister just complained about hers. I also didn't invest for the same reasons lulu97 didn't, because it didn't seem ideal for long hair.
I also don't trust anything not backed by a guarantee. If it doesn't accept PayPal, isn't on eBay or Amazon or doesn't have a ground, or doesn't have establishment, I'm skeptical.
I really hope you ladies get your money back.

For real though - she's had enough time to come back and clear this up and/or issue refunds - clearly she has more time now she is no longer working on the plates.
Has anyone actually got a refund since the promise was made?
No one has posted saying they have or have not...
Nazaneen I have. The $25 I pledged was deposited into my bank account today.
Looking back I probably shouldn't have donated at all. But I wanted to help a sister out. So my naivete got the best of me. But at least I got my money back. Although I do worry about how she is going to pay back everyone.
She's going to be in the hole big time.

Yeah I donated one day...slept on it, then canceled the very next day. There were too many cons for me.
My hair is long so I would need a lot of plates to get straight hair. I don't want neck cramps from wearing 100 plates when I prefer to go to the salon anyway when I wear my hair straight.
Then I thought about using them to stretch my roots for roller sets but my technique gets my roots pretty straight as is.
Great idea though & I hope it works out for all parties involved....the creator as well as the backers.

She is on Refund Round #3. I think it is going to be a pretty slow process if she is doing them like 20 at a time (every few days) with over 500 contributors.
I looked up my contribution because I didn't have the Amazon Transaction ID and I noticed the payment was made to "FollowMyTeacher.com". That looks like a previous failed business venture. It was a site used by educators to send text messages to parents. The main site is down, it has a Twitter Feed which is inactive and it looks like it had a RocketHub crowdfunding campaign attached to it although I am unable to ascertain how much (if any) the campaign netted. Maybe the LHCFBI could check it out.
None of that has any bearing on any of this only that there is some experience with start ups, not exactly a babe in the woods. IJS...

That's how it looks when I check the debit from my bank ASI*KICKSTARTER. If I log in here though:
https://payments.amazon.com/customer
That is where I can see the Amazon Transaction ID. Those are the numbers she is referencing in the lists of refunds she has posted. My transaction says:
TO: FollowMyTeacher.com
FROM: GoldenRule Gub'ment Name
FOR: Kickstarter.com
blah, blah, blah

No it's not - a simple google search shows that Kelechis day job is sales at follow my teacher.com. I would post it but it's on her LinkedIn site

To be honest, I first saw what she was selling from the first ever thread she started and I wasn't all that impressed.
But sorry this happened to her. I don't know if she actually stole someone's idea or not but NJoy seems to have mentioned very early on that she knew the girl who originally patented this and Kelechi knew that girl too because the original owner shared the idea with her. So it seems more than just a coincidence. Sometimes I felt the posters on the board were going too hard on her, but then I would find myself altogether frustrated with the girl. The low quality videos. The fact that she only tested the product on ONE section of the hair? I mean...if you're trying to sell a product, do at least an entire back row so we can compare. And why did people have to beg to get a video type 4 hair? Hope everyone gets their money back.

Today I received a refund for my first order, so I'm waiting on the refund for the second.
Does anyone know how Amazon Payments work though? It shows the refund, the status is "completed" but it reads $0.00 on the balance account. Shouldn't it read the amount refunded?

It showed up on my bank statement dated the day after the amazon payment posted. If you go look on your bank statement it should be there

No refund for me yet. I've been checking the order #s in her updates to mine, and it looks like mine hasn't been sent in. Le Sigh... Guess I have to wait a little longer.

Thanks Foxglove, will see if its posts tomorrow. I did go ahead and verify my account too, in case if that was part of the problem.
JC posted an update but it seems Kelechi hasn't returned her emails, and only disabled the shop portion of her site once JC warned her that she feels obligated to call her out as a scammer. http://www.thenaturalhavenbloom.com/2014/11/were-cwk-girls-straight-plates-scam.html
If we're getting refunds I don't get why they have to ignore her...I don't think Kelechi realizes how badly this will affect her business if she truly intends on eventually putting out a product.

I don't understand why the refunds are going out 20 at a time. Wtf? This will take well into the new year at this rate.

Maybe she used some of the money and this is the only way it makes sense for her financially. This is all assumption.

Have you all had the opportunity to read this? It was an article posted on the 19th of November stating what went down with the CWK plates AND why K. Bradley has been so quiet. Just thought I'd share ... I'm not an investor (almost invested but glad I didn't) … but I have been monitoring this thread for a while...

Are you talking about the article? That's actually not what I gathered from reading that at all...
