January 22:
I bought a "cute Pomeranian puppy" through
http://www.lynspoms.com/
Huge mistake! The "cute puppy" turned out to be an old picture...
Right AFTER I paid this woman, she emailed me a picture of what I had bought. It wasn't a cute puppy at all! It was a grown and clunky dog. I'm not even sure it was a Pom. The dog looked like a Keeshond to me. Or a Keeshond / Pom mix. (Lynspoms' dogs are NOT listed as AKC registered.)
I tried to cancel after seeing the second picture, but Linda (Lynspoms' owner) would not ALLOW me to cancel. She
didn't care if I wanted the dog or not. All she cared about was keeping my money, which she did. All $1,144.00 of it!!!
She gave me NOTHING in return. Not so much as a dog biscuit.
Apparently she intended to keep my money and give me nothing.
She has a "no refund policy" which obviously includes keeping money even if there is no sale.
A good breeder cares about the dog's happiness and your happiness with the dog.
Lynspoms doesn't give a whit about the dog or about you.
All she cares about is nabbing every red cent she can squeeze out of you. Even if you get nothing in return. Beware!
March 4:
PayPal issued me a refund. Please note that
Lynspoms did NOT authorize this refund — PAYPAL
did.in fact, Lynspoms fought PayPal tooth and nail
anytime PayPal tried to refund my money. She
even faxed them after they closed the case in a last
ditch effort to rip me off.
Of note: I heard from a breeder whose business
name is similar to Lynspoms. She said that many
people confuse the two names and that she has received
several complaints about Lynspoms. Please be fair to
breeders with a similar name. They are not the same
person. I think shady breeders like Linda of Lynspoms
are rare. Thank God!

Evidently, Lynspoms was even willing to LIE
if that's what it took to keep my $1,144.00.
According to PayPal:
The online tracking information provided by
the seller was not sufficient enough to confirm
that the item was shipped to you.
Online tracking information provided by the seller?
Online tracking of what? She never sent me
so much as a greeting card! Even after all the
headaches I went through with this woman, this
last shocked me. Apparently she was willing to
fabricate some fake receipt if that's what it took to
rip me off!
All I can say is thank God PayPal didn't fall for
whatever forged "proof of shipping" she concocted
for them. This breeder is total slime. I feel sorry
for her dogs.
I have reported this incident to the following agencies:
Consumer. Affairs@state. Tn.Us
The Michigan Attorney General
The Better Business Bureau
The Federal Trade Commission
The Direct Marketing Association
The Internet Crime Complaint Cente
