In September 2005 I used PayPal, supposedly a secure honest system to purchase cosmetics from Northern Minerals. I have heard many stories from them on why my product had not been received. Hospital, sick, surgery... no assistant to help...

Several times I was told that my product had been sent. When I asked for the tracking number I was told there was none. Several weeks later I received an e-mail stating they could not mail me my product because they "lost my colors". I replied that if they truly mailed them out... (mind you this is 2.5 months later) then they should have a purchase order. Now, they do not respond!

I contacted PayPal and they stated that there was nothing they could do. It's been over 45 days since they took my money, but they would "mark" Northern Minerals account. Sounds to me that PayPal should have some sort of liability! Especially knowing that other people have been ripped off by this company!

The only reason I ordered was because PayPal supposedly has ligitimate companies! Ha! They're a rippoff and a scam too!

My bank would have to cancel my Visa for six months for an investigation! This is my ONLY Visa!

This company has caused me much excitement and durress! DO NOT ORDER ANYTHING FROM NORTHERN MINERALS! YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE THEIR PRODUCT! It's Amazing that a company like this is still able to operate on the internet! I want to see them ALL in jail!

Hi Kari!
Feel free to stop by. I got the address off of the internet under Northern Minerals. However, I received an e-mail from "Let's Face It" a link provided on Northern Minerals and Alyeska Minerals website. I was told that the District Attorney spoke with Michelle and Patrick. Michelle is on disability...(how I don't know being she is making money ripping people off). The D.A. told them that they will not press charges as long as they update people. The Oliphant's have also ripped off their supplier, web designer and others. The D.A. is helping them get away with it. I have notified the local Anchorage media about this and am hoping that we get a good responce. I am also hoping that others out there contact the media..the more squeeky wheels, the better! If you are able to reach them in person, ask where everyone's product is...or refund. Take a video camera with you....heehee. Serves them right.

#3 Consumer Suggestion

Keep pestering Northern Minerals aka: www.alyeskamineralmakeup.com, persistance, and the help of Rip-Off Report, finally paid off..

AUTHOR: Karen - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Sunday, December 25, 2005

I was also a victim of Patrick and Michelle Oliphant and also have a rip off report listed on this website... I just wanted to let you know that persistance, and the help of Rip-Off Report, finally paid off.. I did receive a refund from these people on Dec.9... Filing a report with Rip-Off and also, I think, contacting their new business partner through their new website www.alyeskamineralmakeup.com seemed to do the job.. Their new business partner left me with the impression that she is very honest and had no idea how many people have been cheated by Patrick and Michelle Oliphant. She had been told they had gotten behind in their orders but had either sent out product or refunds to everyone they owed, which all of us who were screwed by them know to be a lie! My advice, keep trying... email them through the new website, maybe the new partner will see your letter and tell them to make this right!!

I hope anyone reading these reports on Rip-off who were cheated by Northern Minerals will also add their own rip off report.. Patrick and Michelle seem to feel excuses and pointing the finger back at the customer make it ok to cheat people.

Patrick and Michelle, show a little dignity to this person and all the other people you know FULL well you still owe money to... PAY UP.. It's just plain bad karma not to make things right and your new website venture will suffer from it if you don't do the right thing.
