As I was reading your story I could have sworn the location of this wrong doing was gonna be Louisville. Bowling Green....my step-daughter had an experience of wrong doing in Bowling Green this week too. She's still fairly young and some what naive as to how low people can be, although I don't know why she's so naive considering how her brothers life has unfolded but that's an entirely different story.

Long story short for her episode this week was she saw a litter of puppies for sale in Bowling Green. The guy says the pups won't be ready until July 25th or so and he can't gaurantee there will be any puppies at that time, first come first served), the only way he can gaurantee it is if she gives him deposit money of $100.00, he didn't want a check, said he's been burned by checks in the past, says he wants it wired to him, so that's what my step-daughter did, wired him $100.00 dollars (step-daughter works for a very reputable credit union by the way). this was early this week, Tuesday or so.

Fast forward to Friday, the guy begins texting her, calling her, says he's had a death in the family and wants to know if she can wire him the rest of the money now. Like I said, my step-daughter is still young fella's, but this guy texting her, calling her, leaving voice messages, etc saying he would like to have full payment now, raised flags with her. At any rate, she finally wises up a little and does a little investigation and apparently come to find out this guy has a past of some sort.

A couple of weeks ago she was trying to purchase a puppy from a different source, this time out of Indiana, or so she thinks it was Indiana anyway. She called the number, the lady indicated a deposit was required, she also said she was in Georgia at the time but the once my step-daughter checked the number the area code was an Oklahoma number.

Times are bad out there boys and I don't intend to sound all doom and gloom but they sure don't seem to be getting much better. People intentionally committing crime just so they can get locked up to get healthcare, people going to great lengths to have sex with children, a teenager here in Louisville was recently charged with murder (beat his brother to death). The world is ugly, and for me sometimes it sure is hard to find the beauty, but it's out there I "think". The good thing I guess is my step-daughter gets to chock up another lesson learned. I just wish she would have consulted me or my wife about this sending of money before she did it.
