The business "The Scary Closet" is engaged in fraudulent activity, stealing thousands of dollars from horror fans for their counterfeit replica dolls/props.  They solicit new customers online via email or social media, requesting $1000-$3000 for each of their unlicensed, bootleg products, and once payment is received, they cut off all communication.  I personally was scammed $4,200 by this business and requested the assistance of my bank to help bring this scammer to justice. Unfortunately their investigators confirmed with the scammer's bank (Los Angeles Fed Credit Union) that the account was emptied immediately after depositing my check as most scammers do.  So now I have to file a small claims suit for the $4200 plus legal fees and transportation costs. I would have been more than willing to workout an arrangement with this business if they were running late and needed additional time.  However, since they cut off communication entirely and ignored multiple agencies, I had no choice but to pursue legal action and inform the public of their fraudulent business practices.

The LA Fed Credit Union's Fraud dept confirmed that the owner of The Scary Closet is Mark S. Anthony. This business has been reported multiple times to the California Attorney General, and is being investigaed by the Dept of Consumer and Business Affairs, Business Consumer Alliance, and Better Business Bureau.  Multiple attempts by the BBB to reach out to Mr. Anthony have been ignored.  Signed and notarized legal demand letters have also been ignored.  The pressure by victims have forced Mr. Anthony to hide/block his business social media accounts.  A twitter account for victims of The Scary Closet that have either been scammed into buying their counterfeit products or just outright stolen from has been created at http://www.twitter.com/buyerbeware_tsc.  If you've been scammed by The Scary Closet please report it HERE on ripoffreport.com, the mentioned twitter account, and the following agencies:
