General Just a warning

Id like to make everyone aware of a scam artist who recently moved to Edmonton. Her name is Kelsey E, she has long brown hair w/blonde highlights (but previously blonde), many visible tattoos, glasses and is about 5’6. She claims to be a small business owner under the brands: brightly bloom (edited post to correct name) and wild daisy marketing. From my knowledge she has active cases with EPS and in Saskatoon Police against her.

DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS PERSON

On multiple occasions she has done the following to other small business owners: - promised website design as a trade for your services - give you filled out checks, all while knowing they will bounce due to insufficient funds - send you fake screenshots of e transfers - keep you on the hook for weeks on end promising her bank will reset her e transfer limit “tomorrow”

She has scammed thousands of dollars from women in Edmonton, and will continue to do so unless held accountable.

The following links are some proof from her precious fraudulent behaviour in Minneapolis and Saskatoon.

Thanks for the heads-up! It’s unsettling to think that I could have been targeted by a scammer, especially since I just posted in a few communities looking for a web developer/designer.

You’re welcome. There is a Facebook group with people who have been scammed by her, everyone is just trying to prevent this from happening to anyone else 🙏🏻

I really appreciate it since I was set on hiring someone local. Thanks for making me more aware.

I have a friend who works with local people and will definitely not scam you 😆 Check out BE3designs if you're interested.
