I feel for you and am crossing my fingers that you do get your money back!! Sounds as though she willl back down if you are persistant, and you are obviously persistant so I am hoping for a happy ending for you. As far as contacting the district attorney and this woman getting what she deserves, unfortunately she will more than likely just get a slap on the wrist. I was scammed on puppyfind a few years back, before I found my Peanut. This woman scammed me and several others for a grand total of over $25,000 dollars...$1,060 was my money. This con-artist also used similar antics like "my mother is sick in the hospital" or "the puppy is sick". The case just went to court in February, 3 years after the scam, and she was given a 2 yr suspended sentence with probation only.
She was ordered to pay back those of us who still had our receipts and proof that we were scammed, so she only has to pay back $9,000 which is less then half of what she made off of us victims. She also has 4 years to pay us back. I am supposed to recieve a check every 3 months starting in May for some ridiculously small amount. I could take her to small claims court but I feel this would be a waste of my time as I was told she does not own any property or have any money. So sad that these people can get away with this.
