Diamond in the Ruff SCAM!!!!
 

Hello everyone! Ok. So back in March 19, 2008 I cae accross a Craiglist ad that said a yorkie mother and 4 of her children need homes. I immediately reply that I was interested, they sent me an application. The "so called" organization is Diamond in the Ruff based in Nevada. They supposebly rescue "Puppy Mill Dogs" by looking at their website and myspace I truly fell for it, they seemed legit. I submit two days later i got a call and they accepted my application. The adoption fee was $500 which I paid thru pay-pal. Ok to make a long story short. I was suppose to get my yorki pup on May 15th well May 15th came and NOTHING. I called and told me that they were working on gathering drivers, so I will definetely get her by the end of May.

As May was approaching I kept calling and calling and calling NO ANSWER!!! They were ignoring my calls! I sent dozens of emals and NO response!!!!! I was heart broken! I filed a claim with The Better Business Bureau and I just got a letter yesturday stating they transfer my claim to a different agency. Now I'm just waiting to see what happens.

Has anybody got scam like this??????

P.S. I did however get my baby yorki from a wonderful breeder in North Carolina!

:aimeeyork OMG what a horrible thing to have happened to you. Craigslist :eek: People are so Fu***** heartles arent' they? that was a lot of money too, and then to get screwed, man that it awful.
I am glad that you did get a healthy baby Yorkie though .:aimeeyork

Oh I am so sorry.

Thanks for posting a warning about this.

Contact paypal and they will get your money back for you.

Hi, I did contact paypal, they are doing further investigation. You know I'm like whatever with the money I just want to warn people. People apparently these people have been scamming forever!!!! I'm sooo dumb for not doing further research!

Well you had a soft heart for the animals, and that is exactly what those people are hoping for.

I know of a Diamonds in the Ruff in Virginia beach, Virginia. The woman's name is Lynda Houck. They are a bad rescue. I wonder if they are affiliated?

I live in Vegas & searched google & found this.... I could drive by there to see if they're really are at the physical address if needed.
