Denise Simpson of Crombie called the woman a scammer following the price of a top.

It escalated into racist abuse with the publication of Simpson: Your Plight Should Be Shot Like Rabid Dogs.”

Then there was another post about the woman trying to sell soiled mommy panties.

The messages were sent by Simpson, 54, of Farm Road, who appeared to be sentenced at Dunfermline Sheriff Court.

Simpson started by calling the woman a crook on the top prize.

The Arutunyan wife’s surname appears to have sparked racist abuse from self-represented Simpson in court.

The court heard the victim lived in the Manchester area.

Simpson admitted that on several occasions between April 21 and May 15 last year, she engaged in racially aggravated conduct towards a woman by repeatedly sending her online messages that were abusive and included racist remarks.

Tax MP Amy Robertson said the women did not know each other.

The first message was sent by Simpson about a top advertised for sale. She wrote: This is a scam. I got two for 7.

The woman replied: Good for you. Keep your nose out.

Simpson then called the woman a con artist and said she was going to report her.

The next day, the woman received another message from Simpson saying: This is typical of your lot, breaking the law.

She then wrote: Your lot always does this and worse.

There was another laughing message that the items were still unsold.

Simpson wrote: You all come here and get everything for nothing, try to rip us off and abuse our kids. Your lot must be slaughtered like rabid dogs.

The woman tried to change her username, but received another abusive message from Simpson about selling your mommy panties.

Asked what she has to say for herself by Sheriff Mark O’Hanlon, Simpson told the court: I’m so ashamed and embarrassed. I was in bad shape. I came down.

Simpson accepted that the posts were racist but claimed she was not.

Sheriff Ohanlon said no explanation was given for the messages sent. He fined Simpson 520.
