Furniture Scandal: Mirrored Furniture on the Lam (Thanks, Curtis)

Mirrored furniture is hot, but hard to find. So it was not without enthusiasm that we posted The Mirrored Furniture Company about a year ago. Run by Didi Rainey, this company had a great niche, but within weeks we started to hear problems like this:

7-14-05: "I ordered furniture from Didi Rainey- she never delivered the furniture- she stole my money and she is currently under investigation for fraud by the FBI and District Atorney's office."

Then we got comments from Ms. Rainey:

"Anyone who is owed money by Mirrored Furniture Company may contact us directly at 4611 Governors House Drive, Suite 805, Huntsville, Alabama 35801."

Has anyone? We haven't heard that anyone has.

But more comments came in about missing orders, money taken and broken promises. Soon we got a call from Ms. Rainey asking to take her post down as she had to close and deal with her problems. Out of respect for her difficulties, we did.

A number of months later, she called to say she had reorganized and was open for business again, so we ordered a table. We never saw it. Nevertheless, we were surprised. She was so nice on the phone.

Now we have received more complaints this week. In response to all this, we've taken down all the posts regarding this issue and put this one up in their place. We say WATCH OUT for people peddling mirrored furniture and make sure you don't pay until it really arrives.

I like the many posted here have also been a victim of Didi Rainey. I use to live with Didi Rainey in Florida in 2002. Both of our names were on the lease for the apartment. She wrote me several bad checks and left the apartment without notice, leaving me with having to pay her share in order to save my credit. She owes me a few thousand dollars, which I have a judgment against her for. If anyone knows where I might find her, so I am able to collect on this judgment; I would be willing to give you $1000. My email is tris7654@gmail.com and my name is Tristan. I have been trying to track her down for many years now.

Di Di was living with her aunt in Athens Alabama summer of 2007. Not sure where she is now. No telling!!

Good Luck finding her.

Didi is now living in Springfield Mo-I had posted an ad on Craigslist to rent out a room in my home and she responded-hey believe me she is a scam artist-she does not pay her rent so currently he belongings are on my porch-she is still in Springfield staying with a friend of hers -the friends name is Stacy Inmon

Didi Rainey is now at her grandmothers' home in Athens, Alabama. The address is 1407 Bridgewater Place, Athens, Alabama 35611. There is no land line phone, so I don't know the phone number. She will definitely be there. I hope someone does something!

Didi has a new scam that she is using this very day. It involves a recorded message using her voice. It states that the person has won some Walmart Gift cards and for them to call back and get the "details".

Didi Rainey now lives in Springfield, Missouri. In publicly available court documents, she lists her address as:

5623 S EAGLESCLIFFE CT
SPRINGFIELD, MO 65809
