OK I am trying to keep my head clear on all this, yes we think something is up too...but the money I thought I had paid on Maddie did not come off the credit card, so for all intent and purposes, I do still owe them the money for Maddie.
The check has been froze. The card has been froze. I know they didn't make a copy of the check because the check didn't leave my hands until we met at the petstore and I handed the check to the store owner. The breeder met me there with Maddie.
They ran it through a machine, said it was good, handed me the check back with the receipt stapled to it and void written across the check in permanent black marker.
Yes, the breeder got her money because they took it out of the drawer at the pet store and gave it to her. Right now it is the pet store that is saying they are out the money. I told the "sherriff" that I didn't buy her from the petstore....he said he already knew that, he knew that I had paid a cash deposit, and that the store owner wasn't upset or anything they were just "concerned" because they had called several times and left messages and I hadn't returned the calls. That is not true. She has never called me. I told him think about it, you call me and leave a message and I call right back.
My local sheriffs department thought it sounded fishy too. He told me to make copies of everything, and that is what I am doing. We also are going to tell the cc company that we want to cancel the card completely because we don't want these people to try to run the check again after we pay this.
