Shoppers Beware!
Beginning Boutique and it's founder Sarah Timmerman are engaged in a scam operation to fraudulently harm customers and steal their private information:

Background & Facts:

On, May 16th, I purchased $593.70 worth of products and selected 4-6 day rush DHL shipping for a present.

On May 17th, Beginning Boutique aka Sarah Timmerman's team wrote me and asked for screenshots of my bank account (in violation of Australian privacy laws.)

After informing them their request was illegal and in violation of consumer protection laws.

They asked me to tell them (via email) the transaction information verifying their corporate entity and the transaction details.

I finally decided to trust the company and sent them screenshot of my credit card information verifying the transaction and verifying the the purchase was authorized.

After waisting hours of my time (and phishing for personal bank screenshots and personal information,) they thanked me for sending them my credit card statements.

Sarah Timmerman's team then told me that I had sent "all the information required,"

After they had conned me into sending them my account information and personal credit card statements they canceled my order!

They even confirmed in writing that I had sent "everything required" then canceled everything after wasting hours of my time.

This company is not legitimate: They are operating some type of consumer phishing scam to trick people into sending in bank screenshots and personal credit card statements.

My opinion is to Stay Away!
