If they're a true scammer, then they've probably found a way to make sure they can't be caught (i.e. used fake name, etc.) But, if they are a legit company, I can only think of the BBB to file a complaint with. Or a lawyer?? I dunno.

Peeka Boo I See You! Donating Member | It would be great if you could post a little more info like a website email address name so others don't get scammed by the same person. What happened did you send money?

| Well heres the story in a nut shell. There is a dog on web site. We buy it, send money. We have the flight info for the dog and everything. Sounds good so far. Well to test to see how this lady was that purchased the dog from, I asked if I could purchase the same dog, using a different email address. The reason we tried this was, she became very weird once she had our money. So I asked about the dog and she said she could sell it to me. THIS IS THE SAME DOG I JUST SENT YOU MONEY FOR. I havn't told her about her lies yet because we are waiting to see what "dog" shows up on Friday. So she never takes down these picture? Puppy mill where you will get any ol' dog that she just picks up, and puts in a crate and ships? Anyone have anymore insite? I need help wth this one. |
