We Have The List! How Sweet It ISN"T
Thanks to Won we have the list back. She had saved it (smart lady) and now we can all support each other in the way it was supposed to be. I wish I could giveaway away a $1000 cash...shoot I wish I had $1000 cash...lol but I can not. What I can do is post this list so we can have a little fun following and meeting other awesome bloggers! Who's with me? p.s. The numbers are off because I deleted my links and of course Gina's. Since we have the list I will deleting the previous Linky post.
Thanks to Bree from Blogmania for the button, very creative. Just a side note: Bree and Blogmania are NOT associated with GinaParker. Bree has worked very hard since taking the site over, there was a lot of things Gina did wrong and Bree had a ton of fires to put out and has worked very hard to get the Blogmania to be respected again. If you have any questions please see her post "Clearing Blogmania's Name", and of course you can contact her as well and ask whatever questions you like.

Sent you an email. Please check it out...thanks.
Well, I guess I will look at this as a blog hop hop then... One that I paid $40 for, but that's ok. Let's just call it the Poo on Parker Blog Hop!!!

@Won - that is FANTASTIC! I will definitely take the time to go through them and "like" or "follow!" Might take me awhile but I'll do it to show support!
"Poo on Parker...." LOL!!!
Steph - please take note of #102
Here's a thought, even if you are already following a blog, leave a comment as a show of support! I am getting started today!

Anna - great idea!
Leaving comments you could say, "In support of the Blog Hop Flop...." LOL!
LOL Sharon. Thanks for posting the list. That is a lot of people who got scammed.
Thanks for all your help in trying to resolve this! I am so sorry that you got scammed and so publicly! No hard feelings from my camp. You are doing an awesome job trying to make up for it!!!
Thanks for this! Oh well... another hop, hopefully we all gain some followers and redeem our faith in the blogging community some.
Just filed a dispute with PayPal. Will let you know if I hear anything.
Thanks for letting me know about this.
I wrote up a quick post and hope everyone else does, too. And EVERYONE should go to PayPal's resolution center ASAP to open a case. You never know when/if that account will dry up. I'm imagining that they'll freeze the account if enough people file cases.
Guess I need to look into contacting Paypal. What a bummer!
I know this is hard on everyone who has not only paid but participated by following, liking, tweeting, and the like but it is such a hard thing to explain when we have no answers ourselves.
I just have to keep reminding myself that we can't give up on the excellent bloggers because of one BAD apple, yeah she could have spoiled the good ones in the meantime but she didn't and we are a group of strong women who stick together through the good times and the bad!
I will definately be following, liking and hearting my little(okay big butt)off but I will do it with pride knowing that we tried to do something fun not only for us but for our followers and while I do feel horrible that I don't have a prize for the ones that did follow, like etc. but I also want them to know that we aren't just going to give up on them and turn the other cheek!
Good luck to all of you and I hope that we all gain more loyal fabulous friends along the way!
Thanks for the heads up on the button, I had no way of taking it down as I have been out of town visiting my brother who just had eye surgery but I did want it down ASAP!
Oh thank you so much!! I had been diligently working on this list the past 2 days-and was going to make a copy of it and didn't...so very cool. I figure no one will "win" the $1000 BUT everyone will be winners that get followed, added, liked etc. I am working on an addition to my site: this is the .com http://www.whatutalkingboutwillis.com there I am putting everyone's buttons that I can get to work from the list...It will take me some time-but if anyone I haven't put on would like to be added-just shoot me an email!

Hi-thanks for stopping by -I'm your newest follower! I like the blog hop or just leave a nice comment suggestion the best.

I am going to work through the list. Hopefully we can all get what we wanted...a few more people to stop by and follow.
All is NOT lost!!!
There is strength in numbers. Let's show GINA PARKER that she can try to scam us but she can't defeat us! We will fight back by escalating to claim at PayPal and we will FOLLOW these lovely bloggers!
I'm in!!!!
OMG! I've had issues w/my server the past couple days and just get access to my blog and find out this!
What a terrible, no-good thing to do not only to all of us but especially you :(
I will try to get to everyone listed and show my support.
((HUGS)) to ALL ♥
Good on you for making the best of a crap situation.
love this idea of following those on this list! Will be working on it!
Hey - Wow, sorry this happened! I just wrote a quick post on it referencing the list of bloggers - so hopefully that will help those involved get some exposure in a positive way.

What if each person on the list give you a couple of bucks and make it a giveaway? I am willing - even $5?

Thanks for posting this. I'm definitely going to try to work my way through this list over the next few weeks (I'm on here too--The Type A Housewife). I am still in shock! And also, I just wanted to add, why the heck would you delete your blog, email address, Twitter account, etc. because your mom got sick? I've had health and family crises too, but it never occurred to me that I should delete every trace of myself from the internet when they come up. :P So, clearly, that's all just BS.
Thank you so much!!! I am going to post this link with my blog post. I am just so mad right now.
Working my way through the list!! As Meno Deb stated to me... "if we all support each other then this will be a BIG success regardless!!"

wow, thankx!
BOLD will be trying to complete the list in the next few weeks in support of "How Sweet It Isn't". What's not to love about making more friends and supporting other bloggers. We've completed blogs through 102 at this time, so if your number 103 and up, look for us to visit your links soon. :)
I will get to work on this list now. This is a tragic mess and yes we are on this list too and lost out. I cannot believe anyone would be so ugh!
Wow - I am just learning about this from someone commenting on my blog. I'm glad I only paid $10 to get my links in because of a "sale" at Christmas time. I have to say. With the visits I've gotten it's worth it. But, am sad that it came to this.
I am number 69, 70, and 71. I just discovered this in an email. I had no idea I was ripped off. I think criminal charges should be brought against Gina Parker. She got off with enough money that it is grand larceny. I'm no lawyer but this just isn't right.
I actually had to get $20 from my husband to put in my bank to put in the paypal account to pay this witch.
I feel sick to my gut thinking there are people out there like this.
Crap. I'm in another one like this too. I trust the blogs leading it though.
I filed a claim with paypal and I got this today, I paid $40, $20 twice for 2 diferent sets of sites, I pasted the first email below, I received a second one too! I highly recommend that EVERYONE do the same! Can you message people that paypal will act on your behalf to recover your money...

We have concluded our investigation into your case and have decided in your
favor.
We were able to recover $20.00 USD and this amount has been credited to
you. Please allow five business days for this adjustment to be posted.
If you are due any additional funds, we will make our best effort to
recover the balance from the seller.
If the seller's account has insufficient funds to complete the refund owed
to you, please be assured that we will take appropriate action against the
seller's account, which may include limitation of the seller's account
privileges.
Just received my email from PayPal as well. They decided in my favor! WOOT. Three cheers to PayPal!
I got my money back from Paypal!! I honestly can't believe it!
Great list! Thank you for sharing it! I'll be sure to follow some of these amazing bloggers because that was the point of the "contest."
I got my PayPal refund today. I too recommend that everyone that took part apply for a refund!
I filed for a dispute and hope to get a refund. So do they take money out of her pay pal for the refund? Anyone know? When I get some time I need to pay visits to everyone on the list!
