The Indigo Fledgling - Laura Michelle Smith - Emmanuel Hamilton

This is a warning to anyone considering using The Indigo Fledgling or any other businesses run by Laura Michelle Smith and her boyfriend Emmanuel Hamilton. I ordered 3 items off her website and a week later, found the items removed and her website defaced with horrible comments about people on the Internet. I never received my items (It's been 4 months) and I did not receive a refund despite asking for one repeatedly.

I have e-mails, payment history, etc... to substantiate my claims and am personally available to talk on the phone with qualified business owners and customers considering the Indigo Fledgling or Laura Michelle Smith who read this post and seek verification.

The least Laura could have done is contact me, let me know that she is having financial difficulties or whatever, or even just to tell me where to go. NOTHING from her. From my dealings with Laura Michelle Smith and from google history and speaking with several people who were scammed by her in 2013 when she ran Cobblestone Cloth, I believe it's fair to say that the Indigo Fledgling/Laura Michelle Smith/Emmanuel Hamilton have NO characters, zero ethics, and are only interested in making a quick buck at any cost.

Come to find out that all of Laura's supposed products are stolen imagery from around the Internet. She uses copyrighted trademarked items on her t-shirts and is currently looking at a class action lawsuit from several business owners whom she has ripped off, copied, and so on!

Buyer beware! She often changes her business name when exposed, and tends to operate anonymously to avoid criticism, which is ILLEGAL by the way. Reported her to the BBB as well.

Country of complaint: Canada

Address: Hamilton, Ontario

I thought I would add a public notice for any unsuspecting individuals who are considering employing this individual. It has come to my attention that Laura Michelle Smith Hamilton of Hamilton, Ontario, Canada has started yet another scam business. (Previously known as the Indigo Fledgling, Cobblestone and Cloth, and Canada Cloth Diaper Clinic.)

Elle Design is Laura's latest attempt to steal your money. She has copied her designs from the Wild Kids Apparel, a very famous design company located in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. Laura can be found selling her stolen goods at trade shows in the Hamilton area and greater Toronto area.

She is currently selling more stolen goods under the name "Elle Design", "Elle Designs", and "Elle Design Studio." Laura Michelle Smith Hamilton has an extensive history of fraud, scamming, and criminal harassment. Her extensive history is documented at: http://www.theindigofledglingblog.wordpress.com

I would advice everyone in the Hamilton and Toronto area to exercise extreme caution when dealing with Laura Michelle Smith Hamilton and her many scam businesses. I have attached a photo of what Laura looks like, as well as photos of her stolen products.
