Don't Let This Person Adopt Your Pet

[Catty1]

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!

Do not adopt to this woman. Please cross post!

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.

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?

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.....

[Sfaynor]

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.

I'm always leery of news like this. I'm not finding fault w/anyone because I know that intentions are good but, unless I've had personal experience w/someone in a situation such as this, I won't spread gossip. We all know the dangers of "free to a good home" so to advertise that is just asking for trouble. Add a po'd person to the mix who might have a grudge against someone and next thing you know, we've got slander.

[Jessika]

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.

[Sfaynor]

Thank you very much Medusa for responding. I am unsure how this even got out in the first place. Maybe this person did do that, i cant be sure of it either way. I do know that i would "love" to find out the real facts and see how this really got started. So i thank you and everyone else searching into this very much. I just hate the fact that i see my name out there now, its not a great rep to have, along with my companys name. anyway, i hope this all can be wiped off the internet in the coming months, instead of gaining strength which i notice it has over the past couple months.

[sasvermont]

I don't know why people believe some of the emails they receive.

Karen, don't you think this whole thing should be deleted?

Ugh.

Be sure you know who you getting your email "alerts" from and also know that it could be a hoax.

Ugh again.

[Catty1]

Sfaynor - I was trying to get the originator of this rumour...and had no luck.

IF Nancy Frias used to work for the company, she might know who is behind it. Perhaps when she left, someone there was on bad terms with her and decided to do a 'revenge post'?

Even people who would be that mean don't realize it takes on a life of its own.

I wonder if your company could at least put a disclaimer on its website.

I am so sorry you have been dragged into this!

[Catlady711]

This is just one more VERY good reason NOT to forward junk email, and why not to believe everything in your inbox.....

False Attribution!!!

Makes you think though......I bet it happens somewhere

[nancys]

I had called a shelter to see abt. taking the 4 kittens (this place is a no kill lshelter). I told the girl that I talked to that I had already gave away some of the kittens. She told me that I should be very careful in advertising the kittens and possibly even sell them for 10.00 apiece to discourage or weed out some potential owners. She also told me that there are people who answer the kittens to give away ads and then take teh kittens (or cats) to use in dog fights. What is wrong with people?

[moosmom]

I just put her name on my wipe off board with a circle and line through it. I've got a mama up for adoption and I do a thorough background check including check with the vet. Besides, her adoption fee is $100 (includes spay and shots).
