I mailed a check to Lisa Crocker today for a deposit on a Coton de Tulear puppy which I was going to receive 3rd week of November. She appeared really nice and sweet in the e-mails so I didn't think of anything until she asked me to mail a money order and make it out to Michael Crocker, her husband b/c the bank is in his work building. I e-mail her again and I think she got a little nervous and said a check if fine. I search for their names and matching address and there was no information along w / a few things that just doesn't seem right so I got even more suspicious.
I googled Lisa and Michael Crocker and found this http://usacomplaints.com/reports/0/072/RipOff0072105.htm and had to cancel the check tonight, a $30 lesson. I'm thankful for this website, therefore, I want to add to this report especially for others who just want to buy a dog from a geunine breeder who loves their dogs.
I did e-mail her letting her know that I cancelled the check as a courtesy so she doesn't have to pay a fee for a bounce check. I'm only doing this b/c she was being nice. It's just too bad it wasn't genuine and had a motive.
I don't want to give their physical address to protect their privacy but if you ever came across this website http://www.beep.com/members/cotonpuppies / or this email address Starlight Starbright or by the name Lisa Crocker and Michael Crocker living Upstate New York, just be careful.
Do your research thoroughly before buying a puppy from a breeder, make sure they're legit and do check usacomplaints.com for any scams.
I wish you all a happy holiday season!
Best,
Jenny
