I know this is a mouthful, but You wanted to know the real story, so here it is....
I have protected her long enough. I should have listened to so many of you. You told me she would use me and then spit me out. And THAT she did.
I have been sweet talked by her for about 18 months now. She told me that everyone is against her and that none of it was true. She played me soooo well. I defended her at my own expense and reputation, so I guess I now have to pay the price.
Here goes.....
1. RDK belongs to Cindy Kohlscheen
2. Kits2Reborn belongs to me, Suzette.
3. The Artists Emporium's name belong to me.
4. Reborn Web Design belongs to me and Nicolaas Maritz.
5. Nicolaas Maritz is the webmaster on all my sites and on some of Cindy's as I have organized the work for him.
6. Petro Turner owns Marlene Couture and use to be Nicolene Nursery but on some forums her username cannot be changed. She ONLY works for me as a distributor and gets paid a commission in the UK
Now about the babies......
* The Knoops babies were bought by Cindy Kohlscheen on a doll show. Im sure some of you know this as Ellie mentioned it.
* Sandy Faber signed a contract with RDK for the reproduction of her kits.
* Cindy used me as she knew no-one would buy them from her.
* I was suppose to get a commission of $1500.00 for the Faber contract and any other contracts thereafter.
* I was suppose to get 50% in this so called venture.
* With Cindy's last disappearing act from the world, I emailed her and told her that I will not be carrying on with this crap.
* I told her I will be keeping TAE as the name belongs to me.
You want the proof? Here it is....
EXAMPLE OF AN ORDER SENT TO HER TO SHIP, HENCE THE LATE SHIPPING and THE TRACKING NUMBERS LEAVING FROM OMAHA, NE
KNOOPS OOAK'S EMAILED TO ME BY CINDY
FABER AGREEMENT
FABER PAYMENT CONFIRMATION
WONDERING WHY THERE WAS DREMMEL MARKS ON THE KITS' FLANGES?
DOES THESE SERIAL NUMBERS LOOK AS THOUGH THEY COULD BE PART OF THE SAME DOLL COMPANY'S ORDER?
Cindy will not be using TAE for any more business. I am taking it back. Here is the email Ive sent her...

Things are really going way overboard now.
As you are not downloading all your mail, it gets sent back from Nic's address.
Now they are thinking that I am behind RDK and that I am the owner. They are also involving Petro who has never done anything wrong. She has always stuck by my side and just doing her job with the distribution. This is really very sad & not fair towards her. She is crying terribly tonight and her husband is furious.
has every got their refund from the 'Reserve" and RDK generally? I am out $67US I just looked at my recent emails from RDK (sent within minutes of filing paypal claims and paypal closing the claim in my favour but saying there is no money) and guess what = the email address was --------------<merlinm@mweb.co.za>. That must be the email address of the 'relative" of Cindy. Hang on doesnt '.za' mean the email is in South Africa- who on earth could that be????????????????????????????????maybe Suzette at Petit Cherie????????
That crap about dont associate me with that person- what a joke!!!!- Let us know who it is then if it isnt you. I am really mad and want my $67.If they think I will just go away cause I am in another counttry they can think again
I think I am just going to go public with all this shit. I am tired.
Nic is seriously upset about this. His name is in this now. You should be glad if he does not shut down all your sites with immediate effect. He says he will not be dragged into this whole mess of yours.
I cannot care what happens to me anymore. Im dead anyway. What more can they do? They have already killed me in all the forums. I have nothing more to lose. I was always concerned about my name, but my name is long gone. There is nothing left of it, anyway.
As the only true friend you had left in the doll world, I just want to say this to you, Cindy. The way you have treated me is not right. Many people have warned me against you and told me that you would use me and then spit me out. But I would NEVER believe them. I have always believed you. I thought they were just being nasty women. But now I know its all true. Its true that you have hurt so many ladies along the way, including your friends. You have used me and when you had no more use for me, you left me to die. I have stood up for you in forums at my own expense & reputation. I have been crucified and told I am a scam. My family and children has been called names. My country has been dragged through the mud. And all of this for you. I lost my husband for you. And what did I get back???? A kick in the face.
I have no more reputation left as an artist. I will be rejected from the doll community right across the globe.
I have done all of this for you, because I believed in you and I would not see your bad side. I always told everyone what a good person you are. What a fool I have been all this time. How could I ever have believed this?
I have been the one lying awake at night, being sick because of all the lies about Sandy's babies. I was the only one worried. You did not worry at all, because you knew you had me doing all your dirty work. You did not care that I have lost my family, my dignity and my health. All you cared about was YOU.
So many things you have done, was wrong. Every time you did not ship and people would complain - it was NEVER your fault and why are they like this?, you would ask ...... You know what - THIS IS WRONG!!!!!
Everytime people would crucify me in the forums, you would act as though you were innocent and that they were overreacting.... - THIS WAS WRONG, CINDY!!!! You NEVER did anything to save my reputation.
Everytime you said you shipped and you didnt - IT WAS WRONG!!!!
Almost 100 ladies put their trust in you and 1000's of $$$ in your bank account. You just closed The Reserve down as though there was nothing wrong with it - THIS WAS WRONG, CINDY!!! You had something good going for your company, but once again you screwed it up. How could you do this to the only few ladies left that took a chance on you? They trusted you enough to pay you every month. And what did you do? You once again showed that you could not be trusted. You took there money without any shame. And don't say you did not make any money. You KNOW you did.
But KNOW this today - I will not be going down on my own. I think after all, this would be your last bullshit. This shit is all over and it will not die away this time. Your days have been counted. I don't think you will ever survive this. You never wanted to know what was said in the forums, because it upset you.... Wanna know why? Because it was ALL true. You are a bad business person and a bad person to deal with. I am just glad I am going to clean up this mess myself now. I am not going to sit here and cry anymore - you never cared about me crying anyway. I was just another "tool" in your plan to deceive good people who trusted in me and wouldn't trust you.
I never wanted to SEE your bad side, but I finally came to my senses. Unfortunately in this process, I have drowned myself. What a shame. I love this art with all my heart. Just a pity it is leaving such a horrible taste in my mouth now. You have ruined it all for me. I hope you are happy now.
Good luck on all that is coming to you, because I KNOW it not going to be easy for you.
Your ex so-called Friend,
Suzette
I have one last thing I might be able to do as I know you will not be buying from her again. I know that you might not even trust me after all this, but I am willing to take the chance for all of you. I will do this to try and make up for all the wrong I have done. But if you dont want to, please tell me and I will just leave her and let her sit with all the trouble of sitting with those kits.
I can take everything I have and try and buy out all the stock she has and then send it to Lisa & Petro to send out to you.
Both of them are well known for their good service and shipping.
The kits will not come to South Africa as it would be senseless.
Neither Petro nor Lisa were aware of Cindy being involved in the Faber babies.
I have also had numerous of the dealers asking to stock them. This is another option to look at.
These kits could be made available through the dealers and I will ask Lisa & Petro if they would like to be dealers to try and make up for the wrong done towards them. I am so sorry I did this to you two. You are both such amazing ladies and even if you dont believe me, I really love you and I appreciate you for sticking by my side.
IF they want to,they will still be doing the distribution to the dealers and whoever buys directly from them and still get their commission. I owe this to them!
I am sorry for all the heartache I have caused so many of you. I think I was too scared to say anything and I can now
see how wrong I was and how I NEVER should have listened to any of her sweet stories. I should have believed all of you.
I cant believe that I could have been so stupid and blind for the past 18 months. For the past year now I have been walking around with High Blood pressure and headaches because of all of this and I just cant do this anymore. I need to clear all of this in front of you and God. I want you all to know what the truth is.
Sandy, I want to say this to you. My intention for you has always just been good along the way. From my side I ALWAYS tried my best and I had to stay on Cindy's back constantly to keep the promises I made you. But she failed me and thus I failed you. I am so sorry. You are such a wonderful, amazing woman and I am sorry that I was so stupid to believe her. I should have kept the contract for myself and not allow her to buguile me to have it a RDK contract. I know if I did this on my own, it would have been successful. I should have listened to JP and not trust her. He saw right through her from the beginning. But I would not believe him.
During this whole time, I have neglected my dearest friends, my husband, my children. I have let them all of them down as I was so caught up in this mess. I really did not know how to get out and I was too scared to say anything. Shame on ME.
I know you must all hate me, but I am writing this from the bottom of my heart. I am broken right now.
I dont expect you to ever forgive me, but I hope that you will find it in your hearts to do it. I am really really sorry. There is nothing I can say that will EVER right this wrong I have done. But I never knew she would do this to me. If you cannot forgive me, I will never keep it against any of you.
Suzette

I was one of the reserve members.. If someone could have just kept us in the know before it ever got to this point.. I know someone knew what was going on. Suzette, if you knew something, you could have warned us all so we could stop throwing money her way that we will never see again..

Nothing she does should surprise anyone & no one should let down their guard with her.
