I was scammed by Willow ~ BIG time!

[SugarMama]

I'm so sorry you have all gone through this. I'm just amazed that this has gone on. You really start to feel like you know people from reading their posts but I guess that's what dishonest people are counting on. I read the thread about the whole CC issue, did she ever actually end up paying them the $600 or did she keep it? I hope you can get this resolved and recover your money.

Very good Post Kathy:


I want to say that I think what Mandee did to help those pups when they first got to her house was wonderful.


and Susie. Please don't be embarrassed, ashamed or sorry You are a wonderful woman and Willow should be telling you sorry.

Wow - I am completely speechless. I feel so sad that this has happened to you. It must have been hard for you to tell us al lthis, but I am glad you did.

[mypreciouspups]

I am still reading every message. I am so sorry for you all.

I do not know any of you, but I really do hope you all know how she is and I sure hope if she comes on here under a different name, that some of you will be able to pick up on something she says..and again warn others..

It sure sounds like she used and abused a lot of people on here, and for that she should be ashamed of herself...

If you do not have money, you do not have dogs, let alone computers..
you get water for your children, cleanliness is next to godliness.

Lots of people have hard times sometime in their lives, but you stay physically clean, and you do not treat people like this girl has treated so many..I feel for the dogs in her life and her children.

I hope she never gets any more dogs to breed, sounds like she should not have children neither..

I do not know any of you and yet, this is so upsetting to read, how could anyone be so nasty to people who cared for her, did not expose her earlier..

Oh my, I think I need to stop here...I cannot find the words to really say here..my heart goes out to you all involved..

We got a YT train to take it to her in Texas. Another YT friend bought one of her other pups. She stayed with me on the way back to her home and told me about the condition of the pups. She met Alycia in Ohio at a McDonalds on their way to Tennessee to meet PepeMint. They had no food or water, the pups were dirty and stunk, and they had flea bites. I told Alycia at the time that I would not post on YT about their condition but I chewed her out royally and told her if she intended to breed she'd better get her act together. I was so disappointed in her because she made promises to me that she did not keep. Besides the money for the pup, I sent her $100 for gas and incidentals for the trip to Tennessee. I felt that since they had nothing, I could make the trip a little easier for them. She told me that they were using the money from the pups for this vacation trip (car rental etc) and for a downpayment on a stud dog from another YT member. She also told me she "gave" Lilly to Love my Jake (I'm sorry I don't know your name). I was very angry when I found out that she took money from you.

So now that I realize the extent of her dishonesty, I am going back on my word to not post on YT about the pup's condition - you all already know about her living conditions, so I'm not telling you anything new. Someone did PM me that I should reconsider buying the pup, but the money had already been sent and spent and my daughter was so excited about getting little Maya. We didn't realize Alycia's past was so dishonest.

I befriended Alycia during the "blanket/treats" problems she was having and thought I had met a young woman who needed some counsel and mentoring. I spent hours and hours IMing with her, listening to her struggles and offering advice. The distressing thing for me here is that she used my deep faith in God to foster a friendship based on lies. I'm horribly disappointed in her and shocked that she would treat other this way when the concept I had of her was a young mother who through no fault of her own was living in tough financial circumstances. She kept assuring me that both she and her husband were looking for work.

Enough, I'm not saying anything helpful here. I just wanted to try to explain my actions and apologize for enabling Alycia to make money and then spend what should have rightfully been yours. I'm very sorry.

You have nothing to be ashamed or embarrassed about! She had me fooled too. I knew she had some financial problems, but I didn't know how much she lied. I can tell you one thing for sure, she did NOT give Lily to me. I paid for her!! From the beginning when she only thought Lily was blind in one eye, she quoted me the price of $100 for her. After she found out she had Hydrocephalus, she said she didn't know what to charge for her. Since I had agreed on the $100, that is what I stuck to. I would not have just taken Lily without paying for her. It makes me mad that she said "gave" her to me. Just another one of her lies.

I am so sorry to hear that someone on here can do all of these things! I hope you end up getting your money back.

When I knew Alycia was needing someone to take a puppy to Texas, I immediately volunteered because I was going there anyway at the same time frame. I was more than happy to do it. At the same time, I also bought one of her puppies from her as a birthday gift to one of my good friends. So....the trip to TN to deliver a pup was actually to deliver 2 pups. That's $600 that she got for the 2 dogs, one trip to TN, where she also has family (or her husband has family) and she ended up taking her time getting back home. So clearly the money was not too big of an issue or she would have gotten back home so she could get to work...or whatever her family does to make money from what i understand....she took quite the little "vacation time" during this trip. also keep in mind that i offered to meet her part way on her trip down to keep her from having to drive all the way. she wouldn't hear of it because she had family she could stay with. so...again...no hotel fees for her. so the money she got for these pups was HARDLY exhausted on getting them to TN like she wants everyone to believe.

during the days that I had the pup, my house became nearly infested with fleas!! Thankfully, I was able to get the puppy cleaned up and flea-less for his new home. but for months after, I was battling trying to get the fleas out of my house. I have 3 dogs and a small child who has LOTS of stuffed animals and such....it was a nightmare. She delivered 2 puppies to my house that were covered in sores. when questioned about it, she said she saw "a flea" on one of the pups and got them all treated. that the sores were from scratching. let me just say...i mentioned earlier that my house had become "nearly infested" with fleas and my dogs never got a single sore. this tells me these pups had fleas for a loooong time. either that...or their living conditions were so bad that the sores were from something else. let me not forget to mention that when she got the pups out of the crate in the car, they were covered in pee and poop.

let me just rant and rave about her trip here for a minute....
she was several hours late getting here. me and my friend both waited...along with another yt'er...for her to show up. i had my birthday party that night and needed to clean house and shop for the party. The people were scheduled to start showing up 2 hours after she got here!!!!!!!!! so when she got here, i was kinda getting nervous thinking that I was not going to have time to do all that i needed to do...plus preparing the food and everything. it was just very stressful all around. well, she was here about an hour, then kept saying they needed to leave because her husband was tired. but he wanted to stop at a bass pro shop on their way out. i told her how to get there, then offered her a purse to carry her dog in the mall in. so they left, she was crying, saying she was going to miss the puppies. it was kinda sad, actually.

well, a few days later, i catch wind of a post she made on another forum about how rude i was, and that all i cared about was taking her pups away from her and getting her out of my house she bashed me up one side and back down another. i was soooo ticked. i called her out on it. i told her that she had a lot of nerve. and on top of acting like that....for her to bring puppies in the condition she brought them in was just completely uncalled for. in fact, the new owners of a couple of her puppies told her the same thing. yet she could simply point her finger at me, bash me on other forums, and act like i was the bad one here. blew my mind. i was COMPLETELY hospitable, even tho i was very pressed for time because of her tardiness. had she been here on time, we could have had hours of time to chit chat...and even tho that wasn't the case...i NEVER pushed her out of my house or made her feel like she had to leave. she indicated she needed to go.

i just think her integrity leaves a lot to be desired. i have read that she owes a lot of people bows and such that she has taken money for but never delivered. i just don't get it.

i fully understand falling on hard times. but i do not understand how you can take money from people, take "hand outs" all the time, and still sleep at night knowing you have screwed so many people over.

i feel sorry for her dogs...and her children. i really do.

sorry this is so long...but i want you to know that you are not alone in your angers and frustrations!!! i think many of us feel them right along with you. i'm sorry she took so much of your money!!! that is just not right at all. i have had "friends" do that to me and i know exactly how you feel.

hugs....

I am not at all surprised that the puppies had fleas. Several months before I got Lily, she told a good friend of mine on here that her trailer was infested with fleas. I checked Lily and didn't see any fleas at all, which amazed me.

How were the puppies as far as potty training? I've seen posts where she mentioned that she used potty pads, but I did not see any while I was there. As I said in my earlier post, I saw the puppies just going on the carpeting. I do not believe that she used pads or even bothered to take them out.

Another thing that honestly made my heart hurt was that when my husband and I came inside, none of her dogs barked or made a sound...they didn't act excited or anything. There was no reaction whatsoever from them. It was like they were all depressed or something. When someone comes in our door, my dogs are all happy and excited, and I think that's the reaction of most dogs. But not hers. I don't know where Autumn was at first, but Willow went to get her and when I reached over to pet her, she kinda came toward me like she wanted me to hold her. I was already holding Lily, but I took Autumn anyway and I gave her some snuggles and talked to her. She seemed so sad to me, and I knew that if she were cleaned up, she would be so beautiful.

One other thing that still angers me to this day. Before I picked Lily up, Willow sent me pics of her. She had said that I could come and see her anytime, but that I would have to wash my hands before holding her. Of course, I understood that perfectly and had no problem with it. BUT, then she sent me pictures of her husband holding my sweet little baby with filthy hands and dirt under his nails. But yet, she said that I would have to wash MY hands??? And then, to find out she didn't even have any running water.....

Oops,

I hope that was not taken wrong..I was just trying to say, that from what it sounds like, she was given many chances by many people before anyone said anything on Yt.

Oh No Hun you said nothing wrong, I think Monday was just saying if people would of spoke up sooner she might of not been trusted like she was.

[Chrissy0277]

Im sitting here just shaking my head...

How the hell could someone be this horrible? We cant afford water but we can afford the internet? This is insane.

Im so glad Yters are exposing this person. Hopefully her next "victim" will see this forum and be forwarned about her

Wait a second! I remember very vividly when she came to YT and was begging for help with Willow's litter. Even then, things seemed fishy and didn't add up--she seemed completely inexperienced due to the questions she asked, had talked about how she cross bred dogs simply because her father had an available, willing stud and got upset when she didn't get the answers she wanted. I remember that a few members (myself included) mentioned this and questioned her and got SLAMMED for it! I even apologized to her just to ease the tension. Too bad this person had to actually take advantage of people before her shady nature could be mentioned. Maybe no one brought it up because they were afraid of getting the same type of reaction. Gosh, I wish I could find those threads...

She told me, and I think she posted about it, that when Maddie and Max tied, it was an ACCIDENT. She had disappeared for awhile and then when she came back, she said Maddie had puppies and that it was not intentional. Of course, I never believed it was an accident. I always thought she intentionally bred them because she wanted and needed the money. She also told me that most of her income was from the internet. So, I think she hung around long enough to sell her pups and, apparently, to see how many other people she could rip off by taking their orders and never shipping them the goods. I think the thread she started about the puppies was titled "Memorial Day puppies".....or something like that. That's when the puppies were born.

[Surfie and Tiki]

The one and ONLY reason I did not speak up sooner is because she had until today, Oct 31st to pay me back in full. In good conscience I could not make a thread on YT until this date came.......

When I woke up this AM and did not find an email from her, I was good to go.
I am a person of my word.......

I'm also pretty darn impressed there has not been one derogatory statement on this thread from anyone to me, or anyone else.

Way to go!

Exactly ... if people would not try to be protective and say what they know to be true, it could save a lot of others heartache and pain.

Thanks YorkieShadow .... I know you know what I meant .... I appreciate that!
