Dangerous Dog Scam - Page 1

Hey guys... I just recieved this email from a E-doglist. -------------------------- Recently we recieved a call from a man claiming to be a dog trainer. His name was Will Duncan. He said that he rehabilitated dogs and trained them for various companies including for the handicapped. He also said he was from USA Dog Training and he personally trained Cesar Millan. He will tell various different stories, but basically wants to get free dogs. He claims to have federal and state licenses. He recently stole dogs from a Jefferson County shelter. He is from Topeka and claims that he just moved there from California. If fact, he is a big scammer. Nothing he says is true. He told us he wants aggressive dogs to rehab and med. to large sized high drive dogs. We got a call from the Kansas Animal Health Department to warn us about him. They were trying to warn everyone before he called, but he had already called us. We believe he is using these dogs for pit-bait. We believe he is selling these "high-drive" or "aggressive" dogs that he gets from shelters to pit fighters who use them to "train" there dogs to fight and kill. He lives in a trailer in Topeka with his brother. Last time it was checked, he had 14 dogs that he keeps in tiny pens in and around his trailer. Please do not release any of your dogs to him. If he does call, please call Judy Bishop at 785-633-7002 with any information you obtain about him. They are trying to make a criminal case up but he just keeps staying one step in front of the law. The personal information I have obtained about him is: Name: Will Duncan Address: 1123 NE Jefferson, Trailer #4, Topeka, KS (actual address) Cell Phone: 785-231-7245 Toll Free Number: 877-949-9DOG Fake Company Name: USA Dog Training Thanks and Good Luck Please forward to other shelters and animal people!

"We believe he is selling these "high-drive" or "aggressive" dogs that he gets from shelters to pit fighters who use them to "train" there dogs to fight and kill." ..this sounds fishy too. I don't like how you said "high-drive" or "aggressive" ... someone using both these words discribing a pound dog ... doesn't know the difference between "high-drive" or "aggressive" to begin with. **Puke** Sounds more like a jealous ambush.

I just remembered your post was a forwarded E-doglist note. The word "you" in my post above was intended for the person who wrote the nasties. Sorry. :o)

Any time an email starts with something that says please forward to everybody it is usually a scam. I mean come on, please forward to everybody so it eventually gets to people in Kansas? Did you even bother calling to check the validity of this before posting? This is how it started on the one I received. "Please pass on/forward/cross-post/post to other rescuers. PLEASE READ AND FWD TO ALL SO IT EVENTUALLY GETS TO PEOPLE IN KS DANGEROUS DOG SCAM!"

I live in Kansas and have gotten this forwarded from several what I would call reputable sources. Guess you never know for sure, but we have an unusually large number of people fighting pitts in our state, and are known, regretfully for our large number of puppy mills. So until someone tells me it's not real, I'd look at it to be real. CH

animules, Fortunatly this email that I've recieved is not a scam since it does not start with "Please forward to everybody" you may want to re read my post. By the way I do not think an organization such as DVG (this is the list that I recieved this from) would send me untrue email. I'm sure they did their own little validiation before sending this to the list where DVG members would read. If you have time in the world to see if this is real... don't be afraid to contact Danielle Reno yourself.

Miss Brit, you posted it here. You should take resposiblity for what you post. I read the first part of your post, it's the same email I've received from a few people. Whoever passes an item on needs to check FACTS prior to doing so. Many out there take an email or somethingposted on the internet as fact when much is urban legand. Dogbyte, Since you are in Kansas, I would think you would have checked and not waited for "somebody to tell me it's not real"

..when I see it on FOX it's real. LMAO // Kidding.
