wow, thanks to everyone for their input...Im glad i asked! I never realised how big this problem was all over the world...
the address of my unknown person does not exist. I have googled it endlessly and nothing.
Im so shocked at how low people stoop these days...and that they played with your aunt's heart strings and got sympathy for an animal that never existed is just disgusting.
How on earth does one stop all this from happening tho?
