Don't Let This Person Adopt Your Pet

[momcat]

********** Note: Proven Untrue ************

Hi PT friends, This came in our office e-mail.PLEASE spread the word!

Be on the look out for this person or anyone who adopts your pet.
Here is another reason why "free to good home" is not a good idea. Always ask for vet references and if possible have someone in the adoptor's area make a home visit.

DON'T LET THIS WOMAN ADOPT YOUR PET!!!!!!!!

Her e-mail is [email protected] and her name is Nancy Frias. She answers free to good home ads and sells the animals to labs for experimentation. She admits to getting up to $300 for a beagle. All I have is her e-mail address. We are in the process of trying to locate this evil woman. She is in New Jersey.

Oftentimes, people like this person will show up with children and make you think that your pet is going to a good home. Home visits and an ID check is very important. Shelters and rescues should also be on the lookout for this woman.

PLEASE CROSS POST in nearby areas and all blogs. Feel free to e-mail her and tell her what you think!

A co-worker found this on craigslist and sent it to all animal lovers in the office. Please tell EVERYONE you know including rescues, shelters and vets about this creep. She MUST be stopped NOW!!!!!!

For the animals!!!

I tell you, it would scare me tp death to have to rehome any of mine with all the horriable people that are out there. You never really know where they will be taken or how they will be treated. Even in letting them go to what you know is a good home, things happen and they could still end up in harms way. It is such a scarey world out there for them.

I hope this email spreads around the world and stops that person! She KNOWS she is doing wrong or wouldn't misrepresent herself like she does.

ANYONE who puts an ad in the paper saying "Free to good home" is asking for trouble.

Thanks for posting this important alert!

But Then Again Anyone Who Does That Is A Moron.

Thank you!! I have sent this info to several friends involved in rescue!!!Yes, she must be stopped!!!!

[smokey the elder]

I just wonder about the "labs" she's allegedly selling these animals to. Something about this whole story is fishy.

[nancys]

What a terrible thing to do - let's all hope this woman is stopped soon. Don't you wonder sometimes how people can think up some of the things they do.

Would like to know if anyone has been contacted by this Nancy Frias.
I emailed her and she denies the accusations and would be nice if we had evidence? Anyone?

* it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests

Well? Anyone have any evidence? Think of how easy it can be to slander someone you don't happen to like on Craigslist.

I saw that same post and was wondering the same thing. Is it just someone's bad experience with this person, or could it be a personal grudge that someone is being very spiteful towards this person about? We may never know.

Hi again PT friends,
In posting this notice, it was never my intent to give anyone false and/or misleading information. At the same time it was never my intent to falsely accuse anyone of anything. I received this from a very reliable source and had no reason to question its validity. Like all of you, I love ALL animals. I believe they are a special gift from God and have been put in our care. And like you, I have zero tolerance for the intentional abuse, neglect or mistreatment of animals whether they be pets, in the wild, or endangered species.

Unfortunately, we all know that things like this do happen. My only reason for posting this was first as a warning to those involved with our rescues and shelters of a possible risk. My concern was only for the safety and protection of the animals.

This now begs the question; what do we do about warnings such as this? Do we take them seriously and share them to protect animals who may be at risk?

If I was wrong on this one, I sincerely apologize to all of you.

Hi, momcat:

I did a Google search on the lady's name, and came across the one post I copied. I saw a post on another pet forum saying the same thing about 'not adopting to this person'.

I'll try to get back to the one post and see if anyone has any answers to it.

I am not questioning you, and I doubt anyone is. However, the person who originally posted this should have had info to back up her accusations. Otherwise, it is very general and looks like a smear job. They don't say which labs or give any details.

Will ETA if I find anything.

ETA: All I have found is a couple of more posts along the same lines of 'do not adopt to this person'. One poster said he had her phone # and mailing address...the original post said that 'they are tracking down this evil woman'. I say let them...because absolutely no other information has come forward to substantiate this post.

ETA #2: I believe I located the city where Ms Frias lives, and I emailed the Humane Society there to ask if they had any knowledge of this.

Also, the post copied in post #1 appeared on a Yahoo board, and from the looks of it had been forwarded a couple of times. I emailed the gal who posted it to find out if she new anything.

So we shall see.

I ran into the same thing when looking up something on this person myself.

I will definitely pass this along!!!! What a horrid woman!!! She must have absolutely no conscience! You better believe I will email this woman! I think that all the SPCA"s etc. should be informed as well! Maybe they can be on the lookout and help get some legal action going. How come if people know who she is and her where abouts and she has as much admitted to this action hasn't been taken already? Let's get this woman behind bars!!!! She is corrupting the children as well!!!

[Catty1]

Jake's Mum - if you will read all the posts here, there is NO PROOF that this woman has done anything.

Think how easy it would be for someone to lie about her all over the internet just because she didn't like her?

I have emailed the Humane Society in her city.

I suggest you NOT do anything with this information until we find out the facts. The original message has NO facts - no way to prove this.

Don't spread spam - that's all it is at this point.
