| I was scammed by Willow ~ BIG time! I was the one that LOANED Alycia $600 to be able to keep Maddie in Jan/early Feb. I felt so bad for her, and at the time was able to do what I thought was a good deed, even thou we are for from wealthy. She assured me she would start advertising her treats EVERYWHERE, and do whatever it took to pay me back as she was thrilled I was able to help her. Shortly thereafter the treat business stopped altogether. I was not happy, but did not call her on it as I knew she was going through yet another (crisis?) in her life. She also told me she was going to get a job as her husband was on disability. In March I told her to start paying me back when they were back on their feet, little did I know……. Reference: http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=66344 Next thing I know she put $100 deposit on another puppy to better her “breeding program”. What the heck, Maddie and Max “accidentally” tied during Maddie’s FIRST heat, a breeder this does not make! Fortunately for the puppy she put a deposit on, the breeder backed out. I strongly suspect another deposit was made on an additional puppy shortly thereafter, although I can’t prove it, just a hunch due to a post she made. I have no idea if that puppy is in her hands today. I sure hope not because had I known her living conditions at the time, I would not have loaned her a cent to keep Maddie. Living in a filthy trailer with NO running water and 4 small children is not the ideal situation for any living being. I know many respectable people enjoy living in a trailer (her term), heck I lived in a mobile home when I was in my early twenties and loved it, that is not my reason for bringing it up. My reason is if she approaches another person to buy a dog, one might want to give it a second thought before selling to Willow. Her dogs are filthy, matted, and living in less than desirable conditions. I know this to be fact as of a couple of months ago. I doubt much has changed since then. When Maddie’s 5 puppies were born, I was assured I was the number ONE priority to pay back. I took her at her word, and felt I would be paid back as soon as the pups were sold. Needless to say, I was expecting to receive some money as deposits were coming in. NOTHING! According to her after all the pups were sold there was no money left. All the money went to vet bills and delivering the pups to Tennessee. Hello Alycia, you told me your Vet was a country doc who charged $15 per visit. There is no way you spent more than a couple hundred dollars (if that) to have their tails docked and dewclaws removed, as you told me he was SO cheap, and also stated no x-rays etc were done. Don’t even begin to tell me you spent any significant amt of money on Lily (very sick pup), I also know you sold her for $100, so that would have covered any expenditures made on her. As far as delivering the pups, who sells pups for $300 each, RENTS a car to deliver them to TN, when you live in OH? Between rental fees, hotels, and gas/food, not the wisest thing to do. Sounds more like a vacation to me. Bottom line, she sold the pups for a total of $1300, and claims she can’t pay me back a dime. As of August 31, she agreed to start making payments, as she was pretty sure she had a job lined up. I figured I would start seeing some money in a few weeks. She was to finish paying me by Oct 31st. She told me if she was unable to pay it ALL back by Oct 31st she would let me know by Sept 30st. Well, needless to say I have not heard a word from her, and have not received a penny towards the original $600 I loaned her over eight months ago! Not even ONE good-faith payment. Unfortunately, I am not the only one Alycia owes money and/or VERY late product to. I know of a least one other site money/product is owed as well. Reference: http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/sho...ghlight=willow I also put on my detective hat and I know items she has listed on Ebay are shipping out of Ohio…and I doubt by her hubby. She is clearly listing the items herself, so she does have internet access…... What a pity as this money could have gone to much better causes. SHAME ON YOU ALYCIA, and shame on me for trusting you!

| I remember that original post regarding the check and pet store. I am so sorry you got scammed. Shame on her. Maybe you should have requested one of the pups, at least you would have something to show for your loss of $600.00. People like her make it bad for those who really need the help on YT. You think twice and three times before offering any help. I got burnt once here and that was enough for me. Can't blame anyone but myself for believing I was helping. Sorry you can't somehow re-coup your money but hope you do. |

| Oh wow! That doesn't sound good at all! She owes you $600 and now has disappeared? I am so, so sorry! I just don't understand how someone could do that! From the other thread, it sounds like a lot of people are missing stuff. Hopefully someone will be able to get in touch with her and it will get resolved.

| Wow...that's about all I can say about that. I am very sorry to you for having trusted someone with that amount of money and not hearing a word. These people are the ones who make everyone look untrustworthy and stupid. Ugh, I am so sorry for you, and while I doubt it will, I seriously hope this situation is rectified. That is absolutely ridiculous. And as you said, SHAME ON YOU, ALYCIA! I thought you were a decent person, but obviously not all people can be trusted. Thanks for ruining my trust in online friends. ETA: As someone else said, Karma is a ___.

| If you have some of your emails and PM's (and the posts here) I would sick the law on her. That is not right. At least you can be rest assured that what "goes around, comes around."

No Longer a Member | Oh Janell, I'm sorry you were scammed. You are a good person with a big heart who cares enough to help someone out like that. It is a shame that there are such TAKERS in this world. I, too, know what its like to do lots of nice things for someone, only to find later on: where is she now? Hopefully, Alycia will do the right thing. |
