[Laura]

I think I'll ask her how much her TOTS are...

[lizbeth490]

wow, way to go coreyc. Its always great to know there are still people out there who are willing to pick someone up when they are down. God works in misterious ways and even though this was a crappy situation it ends up with a great little tort getting a wonderful home :]

 

[Brittany6]

Coreyc.... God Bless You!!!!! What a kind heart and soul and magnificent gift! What comes around, go's around!!!

I too have been blessed! Brinngupta is also sending me her three Sullies TODAY and has been so very kind helping me through Genny's death!

This Forum is filled beautiful hearted people... I hope we all remember to pay it forward

God bless you kind hearted people!

 

[TotallyTank]

That is so wonderful about your new babies!!! I agree the people on this forum are amazing and kind hearted!

 

[Shelly]

Yep Neal that's the one, they sent me pics of a little leopard, I am sure it was a fake!!!

Did you really think they had Galapagos for sale?

 

[bubbles01]

There are some special people on this forum, I am amazed at peoples generosity and kindness. Tank - if you want to send me via Pm whatever email and mobile phone details you have I will send them to a friend who specialises in finding out locations etc.

CoreyC, Rebecca (BrinnandGupta) and everyone else who helps out fellow members on TFO - this is what makes TFO special, a forum to be proud to be a member of.

That's so awesome that you get to have your baby after all!!! I am still waiting on my income taxes so I can get my Sullys and all the stuff they need!!!

It would be interesting to find out what could be gleaned from that info/angle.

I have been in "deep discussion" with 'Cindy' and have bank account information, the bank Swift Code (which gives the bank location), have back checked their address and alleged business name and continue to find interesting tidbits as the conversation continues. Full disclosure forthcoming...

Wellington, would you be surprised to hear that 'Cindy' is not in Albuquerque which may explain why she passed on your invitation to visit?

I'm guessing whoever this is, has invested in some of those prepaid, disposable cellphones, making it difficult to track his or her true location.

Oh did you send it via gmail?

 

[cknfrmr]

I would be careful emailing those scammers before you know it they might wind up tapping into bank account info. and stuff like that if they got ur cell phone number and stuff like that. Dont want to see anyone else suffering from another scam. On a happy note yes GOD does work miracles through special people.

 

[wellington]

It does kinda surprises me. I thought at least that part was true. Darn I had my tickets bought and everthing. Haha. Be sure to keep us updated. I didn't respond to their email, I wanted to see if they would contact me instead. Haven't yet. Plus I didn't want to interfer with what you were doing. Didn't want them to get a clue something was up.
Hey, can your friend find out who this RACHAEL from LOWER INTEREST is. I can't get them to stop calling. They are under investigation by the the FTC. But the calls have gone on for over a year now. Different phone numbers too. Oh well, sorry for the rant, I feel better now. So go get em

[HLogic]

I just sent what will likely be the last correspondence to dear Cindy. I will wait a few hours to see if there is a response. If none is forthcoming, I will post what I have here.

 

[TotallyTank]

Hours she never took more than 5 min to reply back to me!!!

 

[yagyujubei]

Well, you learned a valuable lesson cheaply enough. Here's some more scams: http://www.freeadscity.com/107404.html
That leopard pic has been around for at least three years on many ads. Always research the name and email address before sending $. Personally, I only use paypal. If the seller says no, or wants me to pay a premium. No deal.

 

[IkeLightner]

I am late to see this post, but I just want to say that you all a great people!! I was ready to put my name down for $10 towards a refund tortoise for the OP but it looks like this awesome place already took care of it!! To the original poster, take IMMACULATE care of that little baby, you got VERY lucky here! you found the right place!

 

[TotallyTank]

I am so excited!!! Actually little William Larry should be arriving tomorrow!!! I have never been more appreciative of so many people!!! Thanks again everyone!!!

 

[Pokeymeg]

A happy ending, and a new beginning too! Good luck with your new little tort, I'm sure everyone would love to see some pics when you get him!
