Bullets, it’s how we write when we think someone we know needs a bullet…
- #sigjeans was a ligitimate party and gave away 4 cruises.
- your host of #sigjeans was @resourcefulmommy and not one time did she mention TBTS
- we only found out a few hours before the party that it was a scam
- I withdrew yesterday but could not get anyone to remove me and my husband from the website as speakers
- Starr Hall withdrew on Thursday and it was kept a secret
- Starr emailed me and asked me to spread the world that she was out of it
- others knew from the #twittercruise party that it was a scam but I was stubborn and wouldn’t believe
- if you want names, I can give them to you, for starters, these are twitternames of people to contact @madly59 @wrestlingaddict @plussizemommy @craftymamaof4
- there are no sponsors for the cruise and no speakers with only about 50 people registered
- people who won vacation vouchers at the #twittercruise party found out the hard way that they had won nothing, want to know who they are, go look on the twitter by the sea website, their names are there, they can tell you
Here’s a few twitters to prove my point
jamieharrington: @SharneseLaNier I don’t understand why @jareason is still listed on your twitter cruise?
craftymamaof4: RT @jareason: @newoldmom there’s plenty of proof that she is a scam, on my site, go read or google it for yourself http://bit.ly/8TvVC (expand
)
jareason: I have email from STar Hall asking me to spread the word
lisasamples: @knitpurlgurl the person you want to talk to is @jareason
lisasamples: @jareason the woman who seems to be running things runs a scam tourist company pyramid – YTB (see bottom of her site) http://bit.ly/IYbsL (expand)
jareason: @Elizabeth_N I have talked to her on the phone many times, she told me “I don’t care what your twitter followers think, mine are happy”
jamieharrington: @jareason we wondered about that twitter by the sea thing and rather or not it was a scam when they threw that site warming thing.
zipporahs: @jareason isn’t The Daily Blonde (Cheryl) speaking as well? #SigJeans
(0n a sidenote here, I’ve never heard of The Daily Blonde
zipporahs: @jareason I heard that they weren’t paying the speakers. #SigJeans
(no speakers had to pay their own way or earn their cabin credit by selling other cabins, I sold 6 cabins and was not given any credit at all, I don’t know who got my credit but it wasn’t me)
zipporahs: @jareason but you’re right, you can probably book it on your own for a lot less (try vacationstogo.com) #SigJeans
wrestlingaddict: @jareason all I can say for sure is that my cruise voucher was a scam, that was obvious I still have the print out that says so!
craftymamaof4: to help out @jareason there appear to be questions about the business behind TBTS, #sigjeans, walmart and cruises are legit
SheBAButterfly: @jareason should we be calling her out via twitter so ppl know who she is?
wrestlingaddict: @jareason yea just sent that message on, however I still have a sour taste and want nothing to do with that cruise 
wrestlingaddict: @jareason I kinda figured that this might happen after I got my scammy travel voucher which I had to PAY for to get an actual voucher.
udithbailey: @SharneseLaNier I don’t know what caused the incident, but I do know it should have been taken care of by dm or privately. It will work out!
(go read the links, google it, read it on my blog, go to the BBB, grade of F – the truth is there if you want to believe it)
craftymamaof4: @SharneseLaNier I am not being rude, just honest
SharneseLaNier: @CraftyMamaof4 That’s no reason to be rude to me. I always treated you with respect As you know @jareason was in charge of getting sponsors
craftymamaof4: @SharneseLaNier Yes I have talked to you, & have helped you & you have made promises to me you have yet to follow through with for helping
cutestkidever: @SharneseLaNier You
cast a lot of stones (calling someone the
devil) but haven’t shown you are
without sin in this matter.
that was my favorite for the night.
craftymamaof4: @SharneseLaNier why do you keep sending dm’s get it out in the open, are there any bloggers going besides the speakers?

princesstimetoy: @PainterMommy Maybe it’s time to step back at let #sharneselanier answer the allegations, which at this time she’s not.
princesstimetoy: @PainterMommy Maybe it’s time to step back at let #sharneselanier answer the allegations, which at this time she’s not.
princesstimetoy: @SharneseLaNier I find this VERY negative, “Twitter Friends Pray the Devil is in the midst! Trying to sabotage our Cruise”
princesstimetoy: @SharneseLaNier Calling her the devil is attacking. Again, the BBB rating is F. Valid concerns.
princesstimetoy: @SharneseLaNier Instead of attacking, how about answering the allegations? I’ve pulle the TBTS info from my blog until you do.
SharneseLaNier: @SheBAButterfly That’s is so rude. You do not know the situation. @Jareason our speaker wants to take control of the cruise & the blog!
I withdrew on Friday as did my husband when she called me screaming that she didn’t have time to talk to me – then why call me – then she hung up on me. My husband and I both requested to be removed but she wouldn’t do it. Just like she didn’t want anyone to know that Starr Hall withdrew and now she will do her best to see that you don’t know that she has no financial backers at all.
I as in charge of sponsors so when this all happened, I called and emailed the ones I had contacted. Walmart gave away 4 ligitimate cruises tonight but they are not sponsoring TBTS any longer nor is Divine Caroline, so how long do you think it will take her to remove their logos?
All of that was open public tweets, you can find them yourself, if you still don’t believe, keep reading…
Emails to me:
I believe in you!!! Feel free to vent at any time and know that I would never betray your confidence!!! I have been burned by so many scams too. I thought your email was perfect! Hugs!

Wow. I am saddened to hear that you were taken advantage of and I am glad you let us know. It is better to be honest and get out if the people you are dealing with aren’t on the up and up. I think you are doing the right thing. Thanks for your willingness to speak out.
Thank you Jerri, both for your honesty and your warning.
Gosh, what a disappointment. I know and appreciate how hard you worked to ensure this event would be a success, so I can imagine how frustrated you must have become.
Your letter below shows your moral character and your genuine care for others, and that’s what is most important.
Oh my goodness! Well I have no clue what went down but you have my
support and trust. I also thought that your letter was very
professional!
Just saw you say on twitter to email you for the links to prove tbts is a scam. Seemed fishy to some of us, but the cruise itself is real, right? I would love to have more information.
Hello. I walked with XXXXX today at the March of Dimes. It’s so awful about all that is happening!
I really hope that everything gets fixed and that your name isn’t in the “mud” because of what she has done. I really hope that Walmart and everyone else is doing okay too. I think it’s amazing what you all are doing with helping to promote different things.
Thanks for the fun watching the tweets too! LOL
With a giggle,
Ok, I could go on forever, but man is this getting even more silly by the minute, please pay attention to stuff in bold and underlined. The truth will come out. The people who do not want to believe are in the shoes I was in a month ago when people were telling me that something about this was not right (including my husband) and I needed to get out.
Funny story is that the webmaster complains incessantly about the work that she is asked to do and on top of that, her husband want her to quit too. How much more proof does it take for people to see what’s going on. So, with that, I give you a few links and send you on your way…feel free to email me if you would like to read the original email from Starr as if you think for minute I would do something stupid. I have it, ready for your eyes if you are a non-believer.
