E-shop fashion fraud: 21 women report designer who took advance payments and disappeared
According to Newsit.gr, dozens of complaints of fraud via a well-known e-shop were recently filed with the police authorities. The customers report that they paid advance deposits for orders that were never delivered, and when they attempted to contact the designer, they discovered they had been blocked.
The case became widely known on 9 November 2026 through the television programme "Koinonia ora MEGA". One of the 21 complainants reported that she had ordered a dress for her son's christening. The dress never arrived, and she was ultimately forced to purchase from another shop and hire a lawyer to recover her money.
She also alleged that a month after the christening, the designer sent her a different dress — the wrong size and soiled. When she contacted her, she claimed she received threats and intimidation.
Her lawyer filed a complaint, which led to extensive investigations and prompted a further 20 customers of the same e-shop to file corresponding complaints.
Following the public disclosure, the designer appeared live on the programme, accusing the customers of making false complaints and defamatory libel, while maintaining her innocence. Shouting and turning also against the journalists, she announced that she would file a lawsuit against the women accusing her.
"You are accusing me without having conducted an investigation. The complaints have no connection whatsoever to reality. They are lies," she stated, visibly irritated.
