| The is hope for those who get scammed... Hey all! I was just dropping in to tell you of something that happened to me and an update. Before I got my Yorkie, I had my heart set on a Persian kitten. I purchased one from a breeder who had a good record and sources to back that up. But then in the midst of getting my kitten, she got cancer, her daughter ended up in a wreck and she went bankrupt. She said that she was sending a younger, cuter kitten instead of mine and I said no! She then ceased to contact me for 4 months. But yesterday, I contacted a fellow breeder and she got me in touch with a detective who was facilitating a case against this woman!! She is now being charged with many cases of fraud and theft on the felony level! I hope she gets what is coming to her and goes to jail for a long time. But I just wanted to let you guys know that no matter how nice they seem or how many good references they have, they still can be bad and have not so good intentions. Money makes you greedy. So please be careful! I can sleep a little better tonight knowing that I may get my money (more than $1500) back and that she will get pinned by the Police.

| You are so right, you can never be to careful. It seems that in the breeder business there are just as many out to steal your money as there are ones who truly care about that particular breed. |

| Wow. Thats what scares me about shipping or sending a deposit up front. I rather go & see the pet then put a small deposit down til it is ready. but its so hard to find what you are looking for in the area you are looking for. |

I Love Thor Donating Member | Glad to hear that you may be getting your money back and that lady may be getting what she deserves. It's so sad to see people ripped off for their hard earned money. Hey I see you're in NC. I grew up in Durham!! |

| One of the reasons I keep stressing NEVER buy a pet sight unseen. ALWAYS go to that persons house and PICK your cat or dog and make sure you get all the necessary paperwork and contract. |
