Oh WOW.

I am so very sorry hun.

I do have a # and email addy if you need it. It is a year or two old though.

Shame one you Willow!

Jenn218 · 10-31-2007, 11:08 AM

Well, Janell since you posted, I guess Alycia never got back with you!! That is horrible and I am very VERY sorry that this has happened to you!

Have you been able to do anything about it (regarding PayPal or anything)?

If you do hear from her, please let her know that there are a lot of people that would like to hear from her and that are not very happy with her!!

It is too late for me to do anything....I waited too long....giving her the benefit of the doubt.....oh well!

Your's is a major major issue and I hope that it gets taken care of soon!

Big hugs to you!

mypreciouspups · 10-31-2007, 11:08 AM

I am stunned for any better word.

I am new here also..and so glad this was posted. It is hard feeling our way around as it is without finding out scammers are on such a great site..

Pretty scary. I have been scammed also, know the feeling, NOT with YT members.

You obviously have a good heart, do not change who you are. What goes around does come around in so many different ways...

I have always believed this, and there have been times I have seen it, takes time but it does bounce back in some form or another....

again thanks for this post...pooh's mum

I too am sorry that you got taken. I always get a knot in my stomach when I read posts like Willow's and I am afraid to donate anything to the member. I would give my right arm for members like V but not the likes of this Willow beast. I guess the best idea is to refuse to give funds to anyone that keeps talking about their bad situation and the lack of money. I've seen the topic of being "taken" far too often on ths site.

Are there any big strong burly guys living in Ohio that would be willing to pay Willow a visit?

Baby Blessing · 10-31-2007, 11:31 AM

Hi Jan, I just wanted to say I am so sorry that this happened to you, I hope this person will make it right and come forth in returning that to you.

It is folks such as yourself that make it such a pleasure to turn this little box sitting her atop my desk, look into this monitor and read those posts such as yours and many others that let God's light of love shine through.

There was a great need this last spring to help a man in great need and Jan you were one of the very first to come through in donating towards a puppy for him, needless to say that shortly afterwards unknowingly to himself or anyone that he would be faced with a life threating health issue to deal with, we now hear this man's surgery went well, it was through the love of folks here that this new little fur baby gave him a new lease on life and has helped him get through one of his most difficult times in his life. God knew this need and helped provide through those here in YT.

I hope that this person may be on line reading all these posts and her heart will be changed and come forth and do right in her life to and for others. It is so sad that things like this happen, makes us more careful but thankfully the incident with her didn't harden your heart in helping others.

Thanks for telling us all about this, sad as it is but it is important for us all to know.

Bless you for the lady you are, God's loving light shines through in you.

Hugs from the both of us, Patti and Jack
tons of sweet kisses from the girls

tiggerr36792 · 10-31-2007, 11:37 AM

I'm so sorry you were totally taken advantage of, I hope this person comes foward and makes it right with you!! I don't understand how ppl can live with themselves when they lie, steal and cheat others.

sweetr72 · 10-31-2007, 11:48 AM

I missed the whole CC thread but just read it now...that whole thread sounds fishy to me..what ever came of it do you know?? Did she ever go to court?? Why did she pay the money?? If the breeder got the cash from the petstore that day..how could the petstore take her dog away from her?? So many unanswered questions Im sure!!

I am sorry she RIPPED you off!! Terrible that a fellow YT'er would do this!! I am ashamed of you Willow!! Money is tight for me right now too but I wouldnt take a CENT from one person on here..not one cent!! You could have at least paid her back $20 bucks a week or something?? How dare you take the kindness of a stranger and smash it into the ground...what comes around goes around...how did you feel when you lost $600 and had to repay it?? This makes me sick!! How could you take that money that was so kindly offered to you and not pay a cent on it?? Ashamed of you? There isnt even a word in my vocabulary that could describe how I feel about you at this moment.

I hope she hasnt signed up for this GE..if so I would have her name removed.

YorkieShadow · 10-31-2007, 11:50 AM

I'm sorry this happened to you, It sucks that you opened your heart and pocket book to someone to help them out and they do this in return, Ill never understand how people can do others like that. We use to be pretty well off until 3 years ago and we now strugle at times. But no way would I ever do that to anyone. It kills me if I think Im going to pay a bill late. so I dont know how anyone can be like that. I didnt care for the trailer remark, Because I too now live in what use to be a trailer and is built on, But Mines very clean. some say to clean. but thats just how I am.

Buddy-licious · 10-31-2007, 11:55 AM

Jan, First of all, this was so nice of you to do for her!!! Your heart was in the right place!!! Unfortunately, Alycia's heart is not or she would of made some attempt to repay you. I too once loaned someone money that really needed it. They made lots of promises but NEVER repaid me one penny. (this person is now famous in the country music world and has sooooo much money but has never offered to repay the money) At first I was so angry and bitter about it but I finally came to terms with the fact that I would never get the money back. I chalked it up to a very valuable lesson and decided to put it behind me. Once I did that ...I felt so much better!!!
You were right to come on YT and tell others what happened to you...I would of done the same thing!!!
Hopefully, Alycia will do the right thing and repay you but if not I hope you can "pat yourself on the back" for the great thing you did. I just hate that she took advantage of your generous heart!!!!

scoobiedooiscoo · 10-31-2007, 11:59 AM

dosnt it just seem that finding good people is becomming a hard thing to do. its so sad when ya try to be helpful and you end up getting the short end of the stick grrrrr. you would think that if someone tried to help you get on your feet again they would be greatful and do everything in their power to repay. sorry you have to put up with that. its becomming a sad sad world out there

AngelWorks · 10-31-2007, 12:01 PM

Ugh.

This is why I prefer the company of my pets.

Monday · 10-31-2007, 12:19 PM

Oh Janell, I was hoping things would turn out better for you.
You were so good and helpful ... i am so sorry to hear this... you and I have discussed this before. It makes one lose faith ...
I have made quite a few donations and I never hear back what happens ... I give up.
If I know someone personally, I shall offer a helping hand, otherwise, I feel people should be responsible for their lives ... what if you did not help?
Being on YT is a privilege not a right, and people should not be taken advantage of.
Shame on Alycia ....
I really am so sorry this happened to someone as nice as you ...

and I am glad you have made it public ... we SHOULD know ....

I've seen this sort of thing happen a few times on this site and it sure does create a breakdown in the faith of Y.T. members.....

When we do business (as in purchasing a pup or a product) or do an act of kindness ( as in donating money or items) from/for a member on this forum and it turns out to be not what was agreed upon, or the goods where not received, this puts the purchaser in a very awkward position as to how or when to make their dissatisfaction public....

I've seen members voice their complaints in a public way so as to warn other potential victims, and then the poster gets scolded and told it should have been handled in a private manner....or the person that's being accused is a long standing member so the complainant is afraid to report the problem out of fears of accusing the well known member....

There has to be a way to report these things in a satisfactory way, after the complainant has exhausted all other avenues in a private way...if it's not made public then it allows the problem to escalate with more victims....

Maybe reporting the problem to admin. and if there's more than one complaint it should be made known

yougetthesmiles · 10-31-2007, 12:19 PM

all I can say is what comes around goes around, she will get whats coming to her, you did a good deed and you should feel good about yourself that you could help her out. I hope in the end you get rewarded for you generosity. It's so sad when you really think you trust someone they turn around and stab you in the back. All she needed to do was just give you even a small payment to show you that she really was grateful for your help.
Your not the 1st one to be scammed on her, It's sad to know there are people that don't care and will do what ever it takes to help themselves.
And she had no right really even breeding yorkies if she lives in that kind of environment! Poor babies!

Roxanne_mi · 10-31-2007, 12:19 PM

I am so sorry that someone would take advantage of your kindness. I don't know you but it shows what a kind and caring person you are to loan her $600. I really hope she gets in contact with you and pays you back. To not even make payments is just wrong. You can't just use people like that...but as others said it will come back on her.

How horrible that she has kids and dogs living in that situation.

I am in a bad situation BUT I would NEVER ask anyone here for money. I am not even asking my family for money. I am just doing what I can to increase my income so I can stand on my own two feet. Too bad this "woman"(hate to call her a woman, because these are not the actions of a real woman...more like a little girl) is not trying to pay back her loans and do what she can to take care of herself and her kids.

011011 · 10-31-2007, 12:21 PM

That is too bad I am sorry. If I needed money I would go to the bank and get a loan I would never ask any one here for money advise yes money no!
I do hope you get your money there is always small claims court or check with the attorney general in your area.They have settled a claim for me and it cost me nothing, worth a try.
