My daughter had lost their dogs and she posted on Facebook about losing them asking for anyone if they'd seen them. We got one did back, my however her husky was still missing. Someone called my daughter stating that they had her dog and it had been hit by a car and needed surgery right away or by he'd be paralyzed. They got the initial deposit together for $1000.00 and another $1500.00 was due upon pick up. Not even 10 minutes later they got a message saying that these people had the dog and sent her a picture of him. Mean while her husband was on the phone with them and told them that they paid for the wrong dogs treatment and wanted a refund. He was told to go to the Everett Animal Hospital on Monday to pick it up. When my daughter went to the hospital they had no idea what she was talking about and they don't do things that way. She tried calling the as scammers back and of course there was no answer.
