Summary
A Facebook account calling itself "Chloe Blake" is selling Taylor Swift resin lamps and using a fake police officer video to claim Taylor Swift sued her. The store opened in April 2026. The "lawsuit" video has a timestamp from May 2024. This investigation exposes four fake personas on one account, a backup operation already running on Instagram, and a dropshipping scheme hiding behind manufactured tears.
About This Investigation
I investigate online scams so you know what to look for before it costs you. In this case, I reviewed the Facebook page of “Chloe Blake,” visited the storefront at chloelamps.store, ran a WHOIS lookup on the domain, examined the account’s full profile picture history, and cross-referenced the Instagram account @milacrafted19. Everything in this post is documented with screenshots taken during my research. I do not make claims I cannot support.
The Setup: A Swiftie in Distress
A Facebook page called Chloe Blake has been running reels featuring a young, blonde, devoted Taylor Swift fan who makes resin lamps. Taylor Swift is encased in crystal-clear resin, surrounded by butterflies, glowing in pink light from an LED base. The room behind her has Taylor Swift posters. She is wearing a Taylor Swift t-shirt. She is, as they say, committed to the bit.
The reels follow a familiar format. Mean comments about her “ugly” lamps. A trembling lip. A dad who believes in her. Pleas to Swifties to please just support her work.
If you’ve seen any of these fake struggling small business videos before, you know the playbook.
But Chloe took it somewhere new.
She Said Taylor Swift Sued Her Over a Handmade Lamp. Here’s What I Actually Found.
Prefer to read? The full investigation continues below.
The Smoking Gun: A Lawsuit That Happened Before the Store Existed
Chloe posted a reel featuring a police officer at her front door. The text on screen reads:
“I got sued by Taylor Swift for my Swiftie lamps.”
And below that:
“Can you please support me so i can afford a lawyer?”
(Lowercase i. In case you needed another red flag.)
The video is formatted to look like a home security camera recording, complete with a timestamp in the corner to make it feel real and immediate.
That timestamp reads: May 20, 2024.
I then ran a WHOIS lookup on chloelamps.store, the store Chloe is asking you to buy from.
Registered on: April 30, 2026.
The store that supposedly got Chloe sued by Taylor Swift did not exist until nearly two years after the police showed up at her door. That is not a continuity error. That is proof the video is fabricated stock footage dressed up with fake text and a fake timestamp.
There is no lawsuit. Taylor Swift is not suing Chloe Blake. And if Taylor Swift were suing someone over anything, we would all know about it.
Four Personas, One Facebook Account
Here is where this investigation gets genuinely remarkable.
Chloe’s profile picture history is sitting right there on her public Facebook page, open to anyone who takes a moment to look. What it reveals is not one fake small business. It is four.
Western Hat (approximately 7 weeks ago) Chloe was not a young blonde Swiftie. She was an older “Native American” woman standing on a ranch, asking people to stay on screen long enough to support her struggling cowboy hat business. Same script. Different costume.
Midnight Cups (approximately 4 weeks ago) She became a young white goth girl making spiked pottery mugs, telling viewers her mother kicked her out of the house because she “turned goth.” She also posted a video comparing herself to a woman supposedly earning millions on OnlyFans, to make viewers feel guilty enough to buy a mug. That is a new low, even for this format.
Melody Lamps (approximately 2 weeks ago) She became a middle-aged African American woman selling horror resin lamps, weeping and asking for support. Same story. Different face.
Chloe Blake (approximately 1 week ago) Young. Blonde. Devoted Swiftie. Born from scratch, fully formed, complete with a new storefront domain registered the same week.
Four personas. One Facebook account. And they never deleted the evidence.
Meet Mila: The Backup Plan
While Chloe was still running on Facebook, a new account appeared on Instagram four days ago.
Handle: @milacrafted19 Name: Crafted by Mila Bio: “Taylor Swift Resin Lamps. Handmade by me. Website coming soon.”
Same lamps. Same videos. Same young blonde woman, with minor changes. And yes, the police officer reel is there too.
But pay close attention to what changed.
On Facebook, the cop video has no audio. Just text overlays telling you Chloe is being sued and needs a lawyer. Pure fear. Pure sympathy.
On Instagram, the audio is there. And what the cop actually says is completely different. He tells Mila she is getting sued for her Taylor Swift lamps unless she opens an online store.
Mila is happy about it.
Same cop. Same footage. Two completely different scripts for two completely different audiences. On Facebook, the cop is a crisis designed to trigger your sympathy. On Instagram, the cop is a plot twist designed to launch a storefront.
And the timestamp that proved Chloe’s video was fabricated? Gone from Mila’s version. They caught that mistake and fixed it before launching the next account.
“Website coming soon” means another storefront is already in the pipeline. When Facebook pulls Chloe down, Mila is ready to go. This was the contingency plan, and it was built before Chloe even had a chance to fail.
This is not one desperate person. This is an operation.
The Store: What Actually Happens If You Buy
The lamps are listed at chloelamps.store for $70, marked down from a fake original price of $169.99. The store shows 698 five-star reviews and a 4.8 rating.
The store had been open for nine days when I investigated it.
Buried in the fine print: production begins in about a month, takes 10 to 20 days to complete, and free shipping takes 4 to 10 days. Total estimated delivery time: one to two months.
The returns policy says customers who purchased “Shipping Protection” ($6.99 extra) qualify for a free replacement if the item arrives damaged.
That is the entire policy.
No refunds. No returns. If you pay $70 and nothing shows up, or what arrives is not what you ordered, you have no recourse unless you also paid for the add-on. And even then, you only get a replacement. Not your money back.
“Handmade by Me”: What That Claim Is Actually Worth
The lamps in these videos and on the storefront are genuinely beautiful. But they are not handmade by Chloe, Mila, or anyone else in this operation.
When I searched for the lamp designs, I found the same products appearing across dozens of Etsy shops, Reddit threads, and other storefronts, with every single seller claiming them as their own original handmade work. That is not a coincidence. That is dropshipping.
Nobody in this chain is making these lamps. Someone overseas is manufacturing them, and a long line of sellers are marketing them as handcrafted originals. Some of those sellers may be legitimate resellers who are simply not being transparent about their source. But Chloe and Mila are not even that. They are running a sympathy con on top of a dropship operation.
The lamps exist. You might even receive one if you order. But you will have paid $70 for something that has nothing to do with a struggling young artist who just wants Swifties to believe in her.
There is no Chloe. There is no Mila. There is no handmade lamp.
Why This Works (And Why You Are Not Foolish for Almost Falling For It)
This is called a sympathy-bait scam. It works because it targets good people. People who want to support small businesses. People who feel guilty scrolling past someone who is struggling. People who love Taylor Swift and feel a sense of community with other fans.
That is not a character flaw. That is a good instinct being used against you.
The tears are scripted. The mean comments are planted or manufactured. The father who believes in her is fiction. The police officer is an actor with a different line for every platform.
The people running this account have proven, with their own profile picture history, that they will claim any identity and exploit any community to reach your wallet. Native Americans. Goth girls. Black women. Swifties. They do not care who they impersonate. They care about what works.
Scam Red Flags Checklist
Use this list any time you see a “struggling small business” video in your feed:
- Creator is weeping or visibly distressed about low sales or mean comments
- Dramatic claim designed to trigger urgency (lawsuit, eviction, family crisis)
- Store domain is brand new (check it at who.is)
- Hundreds of glowing reviews on a store that opened days or weeks ago
- Delivery time buried in fine print runs weeks or months
- No refund policy — only replacement for damaged items
- “Handmade” product appears identically across multiple unrelated sellers
- Profile picture history shows previous unrelated businesses
- Video evidence (timestamps, dates) does not match the timeline of the store
What To Do Right Now
If you see these accounts: Report them. On Facebook and Instagram, tap the three dots on the video or profile and select Report. The accounts are Chloe Blake on Facebook and @milacrafted19 (Crafted by Mila) on Instagram.
If you already ordered from chloelamps.store: Call your credit card company today and dispute the charge. Do not wait for the delivery window to pass.
If you want to share this: Please do. Someone you know is going to see one of these reels this week, on Facebook, on Instagram, or somewhere else entirely. They might not know what they’re looking at. Now you do.
