Other fans should be warned so they don’t lose their life savings.  I was scammed out of $6,600 by David Alpay (he has been in 3 Hallmark Movies and The Vampire Diaries) and Creation Entertainment who runs conventions for people to meet stars of certain shows.  They had a live auction at their convention, and they were very deceitful.   

Creation Entertainment already admitted that “a friend” of mine had told them that I was willing to pay anything for this auction.  A girl (Tierney H.) who had /has a go fund me page, never met David Alpay before this con and had a Creation Entertainment employee with her for the entire weekend ran the bid up thousands and thousands of dollars and then immediately was given a free  private meet and greet with David Alpay. 

Free meet and greet for her and her daughter.  This auction was supposed to be the one and only prize and 2nd place was given an even better prize for free.  They claim it wasn’t a second prize. I now believe maybe it wasn’t a second prize but a payoff for her running the bid up for them. They had the motive to do this because someone told them that I would pay anything also because I have spent a lot of money with them previously.  They knew this was the perfect time to take advantage of me and get a ton of money.  This company and actor are very shady, greedy and unethical.  

 Pretty obvious what happened. Of course, I didn’t find all of this out until later.  Creation did admit that a “friend of mine” told them I was going to pay whatever it took.  I had previously spent a lot of money with them, so it was the perfect storm in the making.  Of course, companies and actors get away these kind of scams.  I admit I was very stupid in falling for this scam.  I should have known something wasn’t right with this.  If I would have been thinking straight, then maybe I would have realized that no one was going to pay that amount for him especially someone who had never met him before this. 

I believe that others should know the shady things that happen so no one else gets taken advantage by someone who uses their power and influence to scam fans.  Let people know so they can fully think about things before just jumping in and finding out later that they were taken advantage of.

I regret ever going to a Creation Entertainment Convention, meeting Mr. David Alpay and letting myself become a victim to this scam.  I never want anyone else to fall into this trap.  Everyone needs to be warned and know to be careful and attention to anything that doesn’t seem right.

Seems like you have a huge case of "Bidders Remorse".

You were told that a "friend" of yours admited you would pay anything to win the auction. But that is apparently the case as based on your complaint you were bidding against someone and kept bidding until you won. You seem to try and come off that you are the only "fan" out there, and no one else would be willing to spend an unlimited amount of money.

But I know people who are fans of various shows and stars and wouldn't think twice about dropping 10-20K on a "Meet and Greet". Yet you are complaining that you had to spend $6,600 and somehow you only did that because they scammed you?

Here is where the "shill" bidding claims always fail. What if they were wrong and didn't outbid them?

I think you may need to come back to reality yourself. In order for this plan you are accusing them of to work, they would have to do the following. First find someone to start a GoFundMe page. They would then have to pay for this person's travel and convention expenses. Then during the convention they would have to pay someone to stay with this person all weekend. All of this to get you to increase your bid. 

This of course is not even taking into account the criminal acts you are accusing them of. As this means that the Go Fund Me page would have been created under false pretenses, and the other fraudlent activities. All of which are CRIMINAL acts and would come with real prision time. Do you really think there is a single employee who is willing to risk their freedom over this scheme?

Out of curiosity, exactly how much do you think you overbid by?
