On May 1st I ordered a cook book from chef Taling. I never received my book. I reached out to her several times via text and she would give me some sort of excuse and would say it was shipping the next week. I still didn’t receive it. I started commenting on her posts on Facebook asking about my tracking order. She started deleting my comments and then blocked me. On august 30th I emailed Ecwid which is the network she uses to sale her books and complained on her. They reached out to her and she finally mailed me my book. When I got my book which was sent to the post office I opened it and it was damaged. It had stains all over it and it was still damp. She claims she sent my book in perfect condition and claims she is now suing me for mail fraud…which doesn’t make sense to me but ok. I found a lot of people on Facebook who has never received their book also. She has been doing this for a couple of years I do believe.

I am contacting you all in regards to a person claiming to be a Chef. Her name is Taling Rutledge, aka Chef Taling on Facebook. A google search lists many other aliases. There is also information regarding a credit card abuse scandal she was a part of some years ago. It appears she has a history of fraud. I have been a part of many Facebook groups for years. Especially ones about food. I started following her groups about 2 years ago. At some point, I started seeing many posts questioning her authenticity. No one has ever seen her physically cooking live on video. Her "live" videos consist of gloved or white hands. That is problematic considering she's a black female.

Taling Rutledge needs to be investigated. Her scams and fraud have gone on way too long. She claims to be a world-renowned Chef whose studied under prestigious talent. She also references cooking for a famous Actress. She has a cookbook called Splurge. Many people have been waiting many months for a copy. The recipes are clearly stolen, she places her watermark on them, and changes the recipe. She also posts pictures of the same dishes with a different title.

I want to reiterate and stress that she is a fraud and scammer. I am a part of a Facebook group that was created to expose her. The creators and Admins are an absolute Godsend. She is so angry about the fact there is a group trying to expose her. She is claiming that some group members have threatened her life and is telling lies about her. That is 100 percent untrue. No one is slandering or lying on her. Everyone simply wants her to come clean. And they would either like to receive their book or be issued a refund. All she has is excuses. She'll say the book has shipped, there's problems with the printing company, etc.

She never posts videos of cooking, but she regularly posts photos in various stages of undress. It's unclear to me if all of the photos are even her. She's in her late 40's. Many of the pictures appear to be over 10 or 20 years old. Some are provocative photos exposing her body parts. Others are her in revealing clothing. She appears to enjoy the comments about those photos, but they absolutely have nothing to do with food, or cooking.

She needs to be exposed like a recent Chef was. The difference with that person, is everyone knows they are legitimate, and actually cooks live. She has one scheme after another. She has claimed to have had a heart attack, stroke, cancer, etc. She has even claimed her father was sick. She even solicited donations last year for her dog, whom she said was paralyzed chasing a ball where she collected well over 3K via cash app & gofundme. She claims to have even sued one of the clinics providing care.

She has claimed to have been hacked numerous times. And that Facebook and others have stolen thousands from her. She was recently in a video with a restaurant owner, claiming that he was going to allow her to use the facility to cook. She has also claimed that she has food trucks, and that her lines are long. Absolutely no one has eaten her food or seen her cook.

I kindly ask that you investigate Taling Rutledge, and the many groups she is the Admin of on Facebook. She has gotten away with her fraud and schemes too long.

Thank you
