I noticed that this “Brenda Gisboure” (bgisboure1@gmail.com) person also scammed someone else on this site….so I am just trying to give folks a heads-up if you get an inquiry from this email for an item you have posted……..I posted my wedding dress to RecycledBride.com and have received nothing but scam email – broken English and demanding the dress be sent asap (see example below):

I also received an e-mail from this scammer from a slightly different variation of e-mail address in response to an item I posted for sale.
Decided to check on the name as it seemed suspicious and came across this site. Posted my version of this and thought I would comment on yours.
People need to be made aware of these sort of scams as a lot of people would probably fall for them
recycledbride is not a good place to sell. i also got only scam emails and the site does nothing to prevent or protect its users. same your time and list on craigslist or ebay. rb seems nothing more than a front for a scam operation.
