Don't Let This Person Adopt Your Pet

[Catty1]

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.

First I received a reply from one person who, in turn, contacted the person she had got this from:

I don't know if this person is the originator, but it's a start. Thanks!

Forwarded message from Joseph, Rosa [mailto:rjoseph]

URGENT- Don't let this woman adopt!


Her email 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 name & email address. We are in the process of trying to locating this evil woman.
PLEASE CROSS POST in nearby areas and feel free to email her what you think!

I have emailed Joseph to see where his copy originated.

No word yet from the SPCA.

[Catlady711]

Did anyone happen to look up the last part of the email for this Nancy lady http://ichorusa.com/? I only come up with one reference to a one page, almost no info, corporate website. Only other references I found to this corporation indicate and expired website name. I can't find any info on what this corp. does/did do either.

This does not appear to be a personal home email address. Anyone thinking maybe a begrudging customer?

If you all "can" find the starter of this thread i would greatly apprieciate it. I see you were checking into it, and it would be helpful. Btw, this is another post on craigslist that has come up. http://delaware.craigslist.org/pet/645173440.html

so "NOW" we are a medical research company??? and now my name has been implicated. I will be contacting whoever i must to stop this spamming of my name and company and get try to get down to who started this in the first place.

[Sfaynor]

This entire thread is false, its very upsetting how people take things they hear or see, and then spread it likes its Fact. I currently work for this company Ichor. We have nothing to do with the posts ive seen all over the internet about animal experimentation. We are a services company that sends out people to work for Light-Industrial places. I am really upset at how people can be led to believe anything. This puts a name on us that we have nothing to do with.

I ask the original thread poster to please email the information found to me at [email protected]. I would like to see these "so called" facts that you have, and if you cannot provide them, then make sure the next time you post something, make sure its true. Karma always comes back to you. I understand and agree animal expermentation is wrong, but please dont post things on the internet that are just not true. I have read everything posted on this thread and saw that it was spammed to many other people. How can i prove something wrong that doesnt even exist? If there is any information i can provide to help out, please email me, But i do ask, that you stop posting spam, because that is all this is. I can provide more information if you email me directly, but i am just tired of reading this "crap" thats being spread about a good company.....

This is EXACTLY why you should NEVER advertise as "Free to good home!"

[Sfaynor]

I have no clue what free to good home even is? If this nancy frias who used to work here did, i doubt she knew this, and even if she did, why slander the company. I mean now "MY" name is in the mix of all this, and i have no clue why that is. Now, a person in my shoes whos never done anything wrong, or would think about doing such a thing, now im being spread everywhere as if i had something to do with this. So i dont know what this free home thing even is, but since someone else does this, the company and Me get slandered??? that doesnt seem right or fair in any sense of the word.

ps. go ahead to google and search my name, i mentioned it above. Its not right for my name to be out there like that. I own a dog, and i love him to death, i would never do this selling my dog thing. and also, how is someone to know the danger of free to good home anyway? I mean, it seems you people seem to know the danger. But to an average joe, whos only intention is to clear his name, why would i know this? Because of slander like this, now i have a new "rep" on the web. Someone who now searches "MY" name now sees this. Please if there is no evidence in this deal, please speak back out and get my name back off those lists. There is no reason this should even be on a thread in here if there is no evidence to back it up.

Most of the people who posted on this thread agree w/you, as do I. "Free to a good home" is what some people advertise whenever they have pets that they're trying to rehome. We here at PT are against it and whenever someone reads about or hears of a story such as this, they spread the word. However, I'm w/you; a little fact checking goes a long way and Catty1 worked quickly to put out the fire, so to speak.
