Www.ikcusa.com - Alex Syed - Omar Syed - Antar Ghori Bought puppy from them it died 4 days after receipt they refused to refund my money or vet bills

I saw an ad on www.ikcusa.com for Malti-poo puppies. These are puppies that are pure Maltese on one side, and pure poodle on the other. Mr. Alex Syed contacted me after I inquired about a puppy. His email address was info@ikcusa.com. He requested a $100 deposit to hold the puppy until shipping date could be arranged. We agreed on a date of 3/24/04.

I sent Mr. Syed another $575 using my Paypal account. The 11 week old puppy, weighing only 1 1/2lbs. Was put on a very long flight from Ca. To Fl. With two stops! I was outraged that he chose such a flight, but I could do nothing about it. The puppy arrived at 11:30PM at Tampa Int'l after a 10 hour trip. She was quite tired and seemed lethargic, but I assumed it was due to the stress of the flight. Within two days she was clearly not well. She had vomited once and her stools were a yellow color. I made a vet appt. And contacted Mr. Syed.

He insisted it was only stress from the transition to a new home. On 3/28 AM she seemed ill. I took her to an emergency animal clinic. She was seriously ill, they took her into critical care. She died four hours later! I had a vet bill of $350. I ordered a necropsy, as I wanted to be sure of cause of death. Mr. Syed denied the puppy had been ill. The report indicated the puppy had a 5mm hemorrhagic ulcer, as well as pneumia. Cause of death was listed as: bleeding gastric ulcer. I contacted Mr. Syed and Paypal. He only responded when Paypal threatened to close his account. I forwarded him all copies of reports, he promised to get back to me after his vet looked at them. He never did.

I contacted his vet, Mesa Veterinary Care at 14643 Palmdale Rd.in Victorville, Ca. They denied seeing or speaking to Mr. Syed about the matter. I contacted Mr. Syed and threatened to take him to Small claims court for the total of $1025, which was what I had invested in this puppy. The next day his email was shut down, and his web site was not on. So far he has evaded me. I tried reporting him to the FTC for internet fraud, because not only did my puppy die, but she wasn't a Malti-poo, but some "other" mixed breed! I paid out $1,025 for a little mutt! Not only did I fall in love with this poor little puppy, but to have her die so horribly only four days after getting her is devastating.

Mr. Syed has done this to others, I am sure. If he was an honest business person, he would have responded and refunded my money. He knew full well he was sending me a mutt, and a sick one at that. He has ripped me off, and I'm sure investigation will show others have also been scammed by this fraud.
