TeddyBear | 06-12-2006 07:35 PM | I am really nervous, scared and angry!! I found an ad in the paper about a yorkie and called on it. She called me back within a couple of hours and told me what she had available. We talked quite a bit at that time. She sent me pictures of her and showed me her website of the parents. When I got off the phone I had to ask my husband if it was alright and we thought about her for awhile. I then called her and left a message for her that I wanted her. She didn't call me back right away and I also sent her an email to. I must have called her 4 to 5 times and sent her 2 emails before she finally emailed me back and said that I just needed to send her the 300.00 deposit and another lady wanted the puppy. I then emailed her back and asked for some references and didn't want to be scammed. She had given me a name of somebody in Denver who helped sell her yorkies here,and said she didn't give out other people's names due to privacy. She totally understood the scam part and even told me she new someone who had gotten scammed over 3000.00! I got the name and called it and I did get a voice mail and after talking to this breeder I felt okay, plus I was excited. So I proceeded with the deposit. I then got an eery feeling. I called the bank right away and they couldn't do anything until it hit the bank, I called paypal and they couldn't help either. So then I did everything I could to make sure she was legit. I went to people find on the internet and found she does live in St Francis and there was such a person. The I used the Denver # she gave me and went to reverse look up and found out that person really exists. So I felt better. I then emailed her and said I needed to talk to her right away. I got an email that she did get my deposit and was bringing the puppy next week (which is this week). She did call me and apologized for not getting my calls because they are building a new barn and has been busy with that. So she said she was bringing two other puppies to Denver and wanted to see when those owners would be ready for their puppies. (this was last Friday 6-9-06) So I emailed her this morning and called her and haven't heard anything. I called her this evening also. Left messages. I finally emailed her and said Listen, I spent 300.00 so far on this puppy and you haven't even told me when you are bringing it. I think I should at least expect that much. A puppy can change your life totally! So here I am waiting for a response to that email.... I know you all are saying, you shouldn't have sent her the money. I know I am stupid! I do think she is legit, but just real slow. I definitely would not recommend her to anyone. Okay, sorry this is a long post and I had to vent, but I am a total moron!! I just keep having my fingers crossed this will go through and she will be well worth the wait! |
