Hi. I am the one who is being talked about in this post. Earlier this week she posted for the DT that she was releasing us from our contracts, that we just needed to upload our items on the first. I thought about it and then last night replied that I was taking her up on her offer. I would post my stuff and stick around, basically. Immediately thereafter I felt the wrath of Frankie in a post that said NO, we were not allowed to quit, she'd spoken to her lawyer, we'd have to pay for the kits blah blah blah. I copied her original post and said it must be her intention to go back on her word then and that I would, indeed be quitting. That is when she unleashed her full fury. (ha) This morning she found my COF/critique group on scrapbook.com and began harassing me and my friends to the point where we had to ignore her and turn her in. In addition, she went into several threads at her dumb 'zine and changed several posts to appear as though I'd said and done things that I didn't, and I'm told she also changed the posts about letting us quit or whatever. Total freak of nature, that one is. Good riddance, I say. I just really wish I'd known before getting involved. :(
I will say it... WOW! So not only is she crazy, she has memory issues too! It didn't take Frankie long to move on to the fresh batch of victims. Yes, you are a victim! Make certain you save those emails and screen shots. Also save any texts or messages she leaves. We are contemplating a class action law suit against Frankie and her site. Nobody should have to deal with a person like this.
If you, or anyone else for that matter, wants to be included in the initial discovery phase of the lawsuit, you can send an email to the mailbox associate with this blog and your information will remain confidential.
BTW check out Frankie's alias LAMBY, she uses it on many boards who have asked her to leave or had to have legal documents drawn up telling her to leave.
http://www.scrapbook.com/forums/showtopic.php?tid/1446845/tp/1923/
See how she freaks out and smears her DT members? Bad mouthing them at any cost?
If she wants no drama, shy is she in under an alias reaming that girl on another board?
This is what she lives for.
Proof she cannot erase. See for yourself!

Re: NAME quit

she is a lazy biach and I am sick of coddling GROWN WOMEN, folks grow up, you have to make 10 posts a day??? I can do that in 10 minutes......upload your FREE KIT on the 1st of a month...I can do that in 10 minutes... and submit ONE article...>MISS I WORK FOR A NEWSPAPER CANT DO THAT????NO wonder she had a ISSUE at her job..... I bet your sweet ass that if she missed 3 articles at her newspaper she wouldnt have a job.. I never fired her ass, she quit..So if you think I care...Trust me you would be mistakenThat is why I REFUSE to EVER let anyone be a DT for more than a month at a time. just dont need the drama.
It's clear to see that Frankie has not changed, not one bit. This post was from her site, but now it's mysteriously gone. Frankie realized that it makes her look stupid and crazy, so after her rage subsided, she removed it. This crazy woman has some serious anger issues among other things. I wonder how many psycho emails and messages she left for this poor girl? If only other members from her site would realize that she will turn on them too. It may be next week or next month, but as soon as they stop being the "yes men" that she needs, she will attack them too.

Can't teach an old dog new tricks
It seems we hit home when we exposed the fact that Frankie is not running a non-profit. She took down her donation request. But it seems she is not phased by the truth of her actions. She is still publicly humiliating people and sending nasty messages to people. She is still reading the private messages of her site members. Privacy to Frankie is not sacred. Frankie continues her abuse of her site members. It will only stop when her site is closed down for good. Why do people continue to support her?

Oh my god, reading this is making me sick to my stomach. I have had a couple run-ins with her recently, one in which she commented on one of my LOs that I read to be her saying something snotty, sent a PM to the dt coordinator and then all of a sudden I get a snotty pm from Frankie. I just knew she'd read that pm, I knew it. And now she basically bitch slapped me on the public forum for being MIA for one day because my job and family came first. Saying that nobody works 24 hours a day. OMG I'm sick over this. I planned to quit Sunday when I upload all my stuff but now I definitely will. Oh gawd, she has my cell number too. Geesh.

I come and I lurk..I read sometimes out of curiosity other times in disbelief. Is this really all true? Should I be worried? I'm part of MMFY, I haven't seen anything too crazy. A Am I being naive. I know recently there was a falling out with the DT's but she didn't really seem to make a big deal about it?
Should you be worried? YES! Frankie has some serious mental issues and needs help. She says there was a falling out with her DT. That makes me laugh. Her DT quit because they were tired of the way Frankie treated other people. The only reason they didn't quit sooner was because they new as soon as they quit, she would ban them from the site. They didn't want that because they had made so many friends there. As a matter of fact, after Frankie banned them, many of the other members left the site.
Another reason for the DT quitting was because they were tired of the unrealistic expections, the crazy phone calls and text messages, and the back-stabbing. Frankie may be nice to your face, but will be shocked at what she says to other people about you. One of her old DT members had a daughter who was terminally ill. Frankie actually told another DT member "I don't know what they expect, they know it's terminally. They are wasting their time." On another occassion she complained to one member of her site about one of the DT members saying, "She's got time to do all this other stuff . Why does she think she can put off her duties here on my site. This is a business! Why doesn't she think I'm going to treat her as an employee. I pay her with kits."
Well, Frankie doesn't pay for the kits, they were donated by Kit Club sites. They are the ones paying the designer. Also, a $30 kit is not payment for what Frankie expects. She expects you to be at her beck and call. She wants you on the site and posting on the message board for hours each day. If you are not, she starts calling and harassing you. So back to your question, should you be worried? I would only be worried if I was still active on her site. Frankie cannot tell the truth and loves to play on people's sympathies. If you remain there, don't say you haven't been warned.

Design Team and Guest Designer
Anonymous has left a new comment:
I noticed she wants phone numbers in order to be a guest DT. NO WAY in hell am I giving her my number! NO WAY! Not after reading all this! And another thing I was thinking about. Alot of girls want to be on DT's and will try out for hers because they are desperate. Even if they know what she is capable of. But here's the thing, they'll never get to use the experience of being on the MMFY DT to further their scrap careers. Because I'm sure once they are done with their term, she'll find something to get upset with them about and they'll never be able to use it on their scrap resume. Know what I mean? So, what's the point? That's why I'm not even going to bother...
What a valid comment! MMFY has calls for design team members all the time. Why? Because nobody can stand it for more than a couple of months. They find out what Frankie is really like, mean! Applicants think that being on a DT is all fun, but not with Krankie. There are the endless emails, phone calls and texts. If you don't make at least 10 posts a day on the board and spend at least 4 or 5 hours on the site, Frankie freaks out! Do you know she actually counts the number of posts a person makes on the board? If it's 9 instead of 10 she does this Dr Jekyll/Mr Hyde thing. She will call and curse you out and want to know why you feel like you can treat her site like it's not your job.
If you were to list MMFY design team on your scrapbook resume, you would be disqualified from many future opportunities. So many people, site owners and manufacturers, know how crazy this lady is and if you associate with her they hold it against you. One of her previous DT members was actually told by one publication that her work would not be published as long as she was a member of Frankie's team. This is a talented scrapper who has been published many times. Frankie thinks she is such an important part of the scrap world, but guess what...
She is known as a trouble maker who should be avoided at all costs.

Bingo!
How many times have you heard this from Frankie ---- "Don't let her win, she wins everything." "Don't call that word because so and so will win."
Bingo is Frankie's favorite game and she fixes who is going to win. Is a game of bingo that important? Krankie can't stand to see anyone getting more than she has, including gifts, prizes and attention. She is a control freak when it comes to games and contests. If somebody doesn't follow the unwritten rules, may God help you! Frankie makes stuff up as she goes along and then claims it was always in the rules. She will actually go in and edit posts so it looks like nothing has changed. Unbelievable.

Vulgar Language
Anonymous said...
Associating with Frankie is like poison. People may think this is a joke or like scrapsmack but it's not. Innocent women/men are being stolen from and harassed in the name of "non-profit" and scrapbooking. This needs to end, she needs to shut down her site. I know she took off the non-profit claims and donation button but that does not mean it was not illegal. It just means she got caught. I was emailed over 50 times in one day by her, calling me a whore, bitch, and every other name. I had to block her emails and IM's and phone calls. It got so bad I pondered going to the police. When I told her I would be contacting the police in my area she finally stopped calling me. This was 7 months ago and she still comes to my blog daily, and leaves horrible messages about wanting me to die and my children to not have their horrible mother around. That is not right. No self respecting business should want to be associated with that kind of person. I know there are emails she has sent. Someone should post them here and black out the names. Just to show how truly nasty she is. What she is capable of. Frankie told me her husband was in the mob and would murder me. That is just wrong. Thank goodness I am an adult and understand she needs medication. But who says that?

People need to share their stories here so that they can be a warning for others. I too received the horrible e-mails with the vulgar language. I have kept them in a file, just in case. She used to call me at all hours of the day and night too. She would curse and rant & rave about people on the her site and what idiots they were. She bad-mouthed everyone from Kit Club owners to other message board owners. I just don't understand why this woman is so bitter and so horribly rude. You want to see some of the things she emailed? Keep reading. If you don't want to see the bad language, quit reading now!

I will be praying that you get back on your medication and stop the sluething into folks lives. Its MY LIFE and has nothing to do with you. So asking me how Shane was and telling me to say Hi to him when you must of known I had not seen him in over 30 years is cruel...even for your FAT ASS. I gave Shane up for adopting WHY because I was anorexic and weighed on a GOOD DAY 42 lbs I was living in a wheel chair and couldnt take care of a child.. or myself... Then as for my daughter My LOVELY EX stole her and I havent seen her in over 25 years...She phoned me last year and told me what I knew she would... her dad loved her and that he said "I left" well what did you think he would say.....

BUT then how the hell would she know what to do....she doesnt have any kids...> GOD got that right...
I share these because it shows how unstable and vulgar Frankie can be. She lies and likes to "stir up" trouble. The only person who would take pot shots like these are Frankie herself. The people attacked in these emails are good people who I call friends.

We Have It
Here is the verbiage that was originally on her website. After we said we were claiming the donations on our taxes, she quickly removed it from her site.

I use to send her money just to shut her up. I got tired of the poor-mouthing.

Donations for a NonProfit
There needs to be an unbiased post about how she scammed for one year for donations claiming to be non-profit but when investigated it was not true. People donated thousands of dollars.But not a mean biased post just info.So people can legitimately see what she did.She took thousands from people in claim it was non-profit for the site.In reality it was 100% in her pocket.When confronted she took down the donation buttons.Shop Crop SueySorry, you are the next company I will not support. And I shop only online and local. No big chains.But not with someone who associates with Frankie.
It's true for those of you who did not follow this blog when it was first started. Frankie had a message on the site homepage and it stated that she operated the site to not make a profit. It said something about relying on donations. There was a Paypal link with the option to donate a fixed dollar amount or a place to enter any other amount. She also has the site set up with a .org and those are typically used for NonProfit businesses, although anyone can get one.
Many people sent monetary donations ranging from $5 to $300. Frankie always begged for donations and it was more frequent when she had a trip planned. She claimed it cost her $165 in fees annually just to have the site up and running. Then she stated is cost her hundreds of dollars for repairs and updates to the message board and gallery.
Additionally many people, businesses and manufacturers sent donations of scrapbook supplies. Frankie would use these as "give-aways" without giving credit to the true donor. Often Frankie would have a contest for an amazing prize, only to cancel the contest because somebody would make her mad and not follow the rules.
After Frankie realized that those of us that donated money to her "not for profit" business were going to file it as a donation on our taxes this year, she removed the information from her homepage. If anyone has a copy of the original verbiage, please feel free to post it here. I would like the scrapbook community to know what Frankie was trying to do with her "scam".

I agree the manufacturers need to be warned! Does Making Memories know she is using their name? They can legally sue her just like Tim Holtz. She is claiming Making Memories is sponsoring her? Do they know this? Maybe you could post Making Memories information so we can all ask them if they are sponsoring her? They need to know she is claiming this.

Tim Holtz and Ranger, is he coming to chat? He needs to know she is claiming this as well. http://www.timholtz.com/contact.html They need to know what she is doing because it is ILLEGAL! If enough of us speak out and report her, she will be forced to quit.
NOTE:
I sent Tim and email asking him if he was going to be holding a chat on her site. He said he doesn't do those things and that he was not going to do it. His calendar is full and even if something opened up, he would not do a chat on a small site like hers.

I am glad that we have this "safe haven" the world is terrible enough on its own without having to have somebody like Frankie make it worse. I am still angry and bitter after everything that she has done to me and I need this place to vent and to know that I am not alone...call me selfish but I need this right now!!

You are not being selfish. We've all felt the same way and that's why this blog was started. Frankie is a leech and feeds off the kindness of others. She has scammed many of us into sending her money. She continues to scam those people who are still on her site, but hopefully they will learn before it's too late.
People like her are not needed in our society and the more I know about her, the less I feel sorry for her. She needs help, mental help. Go ahead and "vent". That's what this place is for. Tell your friends! Warn the world! The more that I talk to people, the more I find out. Manufacturers and Designers need to be warned. Spread the word.

Stalking 101
I have to laugh. She thinks we are stalking her! Let me clarify. This blog is not stalking. This is a safe haven for those who have suffered the wrath of Frankenstein. "Frankie Stalks Me" is a place to heal by sharing your story, venting your frustration and for sharing the truth about her. We are not stalking her, but believe she is stalking us. She visits our personal blogs, she lurks on message boards where we all like to play. If she wants to come here and read about the abuse she has delivered to others, then so be it. Seems kind of masochistic to me.

Hi Krankie
On much? Let's see I count.....8 no 10 times today??
Yea I still see you!
See that little thing I call Board Nazi Meter.
It even shows when you hide your IP or come in invisible.
So have fun. You take your board/scams down...the blog comes down.
Not a minute sooner!

Let's hear 'em
Everyone has a Frankie story. This is the place to vent, scream, moan and complain without the fear of retribution. Let's hear your story!
When I first joined that crazy lady's site, MMFU, I should have known something was not right. I had never been on a DT before and didn't know what to expect. Then I found out she didn't own a kit club, but was just a message board. Why in the world was she having a DT then? Isn't the purpose of a DT to advertise your kits? She begged money, especially at times when she was going to travel. She bad-mouthed nearly everyone on her site. She altered posts on the message board and read personal messages. She sent letters to manufacturers begging for product, only to give it away. She lies to her site members. Anyway, the more I learned about her the more frightened I became. But I had made so many friends and I saw how she treated people who crossed her. What to do?
Finally I spoke up and found out that many others felt the same way. What's funny is that these were the same people that Krankie bitched about all the time. Wonder what she was saying to them about me? Who cares, because the women that I made friends with are genuine, real people with lives outside of scrapbooking. Frankie never realized that and couldn't understand why people didn't live for her message board.
We've all moved on and have felt Frankenstein's wrath. She has emailed, IMed, phoned and harrassed us all. She, and her many personalities, need to move on and quit the phone calls. I have blocked her from my stuff and I hope everyone else has as well.
Be warned!!! She is crazy and will control your posts and eventually your attitude. Get away from her as fast as you can.

Sponsors?
I honestly believe that people give Krankie stuff just to make her go away. She has no real sponsors. That Bind It All that she sold or gave away, was actually a gift to her from her DT. I know Krankie sends oodles of letters to manufacturers begging them for stuff. She has nothing to offer them, so why would they send her stuff. The Prima flower prize package she won was fixed too. She bugged them enough with pictures of her flower wall. They let her win to shut her up.

Yeah the blog is back! I am surprised her "sponsors" are not concerned with the amount of hostility and negative comments about her site and her antics. Do they know she rigs most of the games/contests so it's not a fair win?
Or that she keeps the products and then redistributes them as a "Frankie" gift? Someone needs to warn Pencil Lines since she is sponsoring them for a month. I guess when you have the money to create your own site, ezine, and alter id's you too can be like Frankie! Oh wait! She gets suckers to pay for the site by asking for donations each month and then tells everyone how much each person donated to try and start a donating frenzy. This after she embarrasses those unable to donate funds with board messages, phone calls, and emails. All the while prying into your personal life to find your weak spot so she can use that against you when she sees fit. Apologies can not erase humiliation or unkind words she spread regarding myself and my friends.

Good point. I feel like this is the responsibility of the viewer.
Please I encourage you to email her sponsors and let them know you will not support them if they support her!
I know it is hard but I will not be buying from anyone who sponsors her and I will let the sponsors know!
They need to know they LOSE business by sponsoring her. Because it is not real.
Off to write my emails!

New and Improved
I know you are all disappointed that the last blog was taken down. I want to assure you it was not because of the private fake apologies Krankie sent to only 3 of her ex DT members. It simply was because I could not keep up with the blog.
But now I have a dedicated team of helpers to assist in the blogging and maintenance.
I have also re purposed this blog to warn others of her behavior and this blog will stay up and running until she TAKES DOWN her board and posts a public apology to ALL people she hurt not just 3 ex-DT member.
We did successfully make her stop taking illegal donations. Well on the outside of the board anyways.
Which is a great thing.
But who knows what she does in the privacy of the board.
And I do believe her sponsors need to know she is not sending their items as she claims.
#1 she keeps most of it.
#2 the same few people receive all of the items,that is not advertising, that is hoarding.
#3 do they know that at least 90% of her board member count are in fact banned members?
I believe she should be HONEST for a change and take delete all the numbers of banned members.
Then her total board member count would be less than 50.
Ok, realistically? Less then 20.
So let me know what else she is lying about today?
Why do these type of people get to lie to succeed and still get ahead?
Don't forgot to CLAIM YOUR DONATIONS on your taxes!
Frankie M.
Claim all that you donated on your taxes! She is NOT a non-profit organization!
She is not listed as one legally.
