Haleigh Scam Artist Stories

My relationship with Haleigh started in July 2021 when I paid Haleigh $425 to join a loop giveaway that she organized. The giveaway was expensive to join because Amber Fillerup (a big influencer with a lot of followers) was the sponsor for the giveaway. The giveaway was supposed to happen at the end of July but was delayed since Haleigh was in labor. A month went by and the giveaway still didn’t happen. Other influencers that paid to be in the giveaway started questioning what was going on and some of them started blasting Haleigh in Facebook groups and on social media. Haleigh had collected $12,000 from influencers to join the giveaway and only $6,000 of it was refunded back. Three months went by and there were influencers that still didn’t get their money back. Haleigh made every excuse in the book as to why she couldn’t refund them back. I defended Haleigh because of all the hate she was getting from everyone else & I felt bad for her. I never received my $425 back from her.

Haleigh texted me on March 1, 2022 asking if I wanted to go on an all expenses paid trip. I was absolutely thrilled so I told her yes! She was thinking Four Seasons in Bora Bora. What a dream vacation! She said that she could invite 3 friends + spouses on this trip. Haleigh mentioned that her Brother-in-law Dakota worked for Four Seasons PR department. She mentioned that she worked with Four Seasons back in 2018 when her and Charles honeymooned in Bali. Our trip to Bora Bora was set for August 15-19 of 2022. On July 26, Haleigh told me that she had cancer and was going through chemo. I felt horrible for her. August rolled around and I still didn’t have flight info or any other details about this trip. I hear back from Haleigh on August 8, 2022 saying that the trip was going to be delayed until November. November came & went and this trip still didn’t happen. Now Haleigh wanted to plan the trip for March or April of 2023. Haleigh contacted me on March 7, 2023 asking if we could reschedule the trip yet again . I was beginning to think that this trip was never going to happen.

Months went by and I didn’t hear back from Haleigh until January 31, 2024 asking if I wanted to work with Four Season for a year doing 4 paid international trips. I was over the moon, excited! What a once in a life time opportunity! Haleigh started a group chat with Dakota (her BIL), herself and me. Her BIL said that the pay is set at $125,000 for the 12 months. This is split to $31,250 per trip. We pay net 30 from content submittal. Each trip must be a minimum of 5 nights and 3, 30 second videos per trip. We retain rights to the videos for 12 months. We also ask that you submit a “Pack with me for Four Seasons ______” 2 weeks prior to travel. We pay $6,800 per pack with me. This is separate from the $125,000 pay. We agreed to the amount and decided that our first trip with Four Seasons would be to Bora Bora October 13-20, 2024. “Dakota” then said Those dates are available. To reserve your spot and confirm the reservation there’s a refundable good faith deposit of $750 per person. I’ll get the contract draft over to you today to look over. Once you reserve the first trip, it will be added to your contract and we can sign. The second trip will need to be decided and booked within 60 days of signing your contract. I wasn’t comfortable paying the $750 per person to reserve our spots so Haleigh ended up “paying” my portion. The deposits would be refunded when we check into our hotel. Food, drinks, transportation and any excursions through Four Seasons are covered. Additionally, a spending stipend is paid in the amount of $1,000 for any excursions outside of Four Seasons. The contract and addendum to sign was supposed to be mailed/emailed in February but was never received. Months went by and I still hadn’t received anything. I finally received my addendum and contract in April.

I found out I was pregnant in February so in April so I reached out to Haleigh to see if we could switch dates for our Bora Bora trip. Our trip then got moved to July. Haleigh then mentioned that she had a contact and that she had worked with them in the past and asked if we wanted to plan a trip there. I of course said yes! We planned the dates for Disneyland June 24-26, 2024. To secure our park tickets/and the California Grand Hotel, Disneyland needed a deposit for $400 so $200 from me & $200 from Haleigh so I sent Haleigh $200. On April 26, Haleigh texted me saying: “I might have to ask for our Disney deposits back and repay them next week! I just got off the phone with the doctor and I have to pay my surgery deposit today and we are just a little short until my next payout next week😭 I hope that’s okay with you. I’m so sorry.” Haleigh then asked if I could send $400 to her so we wouldn’t lose our Disneyland deposit so I venmoed $400 to her husband Charles Venmo account.

It was June and it was finally time for our Disneyland trip! Haleigh sent me a text with a photo of the road saying that they were on the way to California! On June 22 Haleigh said that we would be getting our check in info from the PR lady at Disneyland. We drove from Iowa, making a stop in Utah for a few days to visit with family & then left on June 23 for Disney. It was Sunday June 23, and we still hadn’t received our park tickets or our hotel info. I was freaking out. Haleigh heard back from the Disney PR on Monday June 24, saying that she had put down July 24-26 instead of June 24-26. I was freaking floored!! The Disneyland PR contact said that she would refund us for our hotel stay + park tickets. Haleigh never made it to Disneyland because she passed out and her HGB kept dropping. Months went by and I never send a refund from Disney. We spent over $2,400 on hotels and park tickets!!

Our Bora Bora trip that was supposed to happen in July never happened. I had my pack with me video ready to go, drone and go pro were bought. “Chelsea” our new point of contact said “We are undergoing some drastic changes within the department and it has caused a lot of delays amongst our creators.” And asked if we could reschedule for August. I told her yes and that was the last time I heard from her.

I am absolutely sickened by this!! I hope Haleigh gets what she deserves!
