Vivian Keith scammed me too and I reported it to the police and FBI.
Here is my Police Report and FBI internet fraud report:
On Dec.2, I was online looking for Yorkie puppies to purchase. I saw Vivian's ad via the domesticsale.com website and I emailed an inquiry. She responded back ASAP via the email address:
vivianfarms@yahoo.com, (the IP address from the domesticsale.com website is: 24.125.170.64), and attached four pictures of the puppies that were for sale.
I expressed interest and asked how she accepted payment.
I was then instructed to wire the money to a Patrice Vivian in Dallas, Texas; yet the email had a name of Vivian Keith in the sender info part.
The money was wired on Dec.3 and I emailed her back with the reference number 39186494 from Moneygram. She asked when I wanted the puppy to be shipped. I e-mailed her back and responded Dec.13th for I was going out of town in two days. She said that was fine and that she would e-mail the details.
The day before I was to depart, I emailed her asking about the process of the shipping. She DID NOT respond back, so I had to email her again. In a few hours she responds saying she sent me a reply; I did NOT get it. I email her back asking what time would she be shipping the puppy; no response. I had to send another e-mail getting antsy and she FINALLY responds, saying that she will ship it on Dec.13th at 12:45, and after she does so, she will e-mail with the details.
I respond back saying ok, but she does not send a reply.
The day before I was to leave and return home from my trip, I email her letting her know that I was to return the next day and that I was excited and looking forward to her e-mail regarding the shipping. No response.
I come home and check my email and still no response; mind you, this was yesterday.
So, today, Dec. 13th, tick tock, no reply. I sent her email to no avail. Since then, I have not heard anything from her and I feel as if she has cheated me.
I have saved ALL correspondence and the wire receipts as well. She still has not responded to ANY of my e-mails as of and she has my money and the dog.
I have filled out an ICCC online complaint and talked with the Richmond Police Department.
Another interesting fact that proves this person is a criminal is that my friend sent her an e-mail wondering about the dogs she had for sale. The person e-mails my friend back and tells her that ALL of her babies are adopted but to contact this breeder,
alice1000@yahoo.com immediately. I use an old e-mail account that belongs to my ex husband, yes, something dealing with him was finally useful for once. This Alice Brown woman responds FINALLY and the same email the first woman,
vivianfarms@yahoo.com sent me, along with the pictures, was the same EXACT email and pictures this Alice woman sent me; same cost, wording and all. I ask her for her contact info so I can discuss purchasing details, but she says she is hearing impaired. She asks for my shipping info so she can get work on shipping the puppies. Then she tells me to wire the money to Wallmart, using the Moneygram, the same exact thing the first lady said to do. I ask her where she is located; she does NOT answer my question. I ask her again with a little more attitude for I tell her I need to know so I can pay her.
She sends me a reply stating Missouri, and tells me to check my mapquest. Then she goes on to say that she will not take any insuits, exactly how she spelled it, from me. She asks if I think she just wants money. She is too concerned about her puppies’ wellbeing. She says before she can discuss payment, which she already has, she needs to make sure that the puppies will be going to loving homes and that she things, exactly how she typed it, I do not have one.
I respond back by telling her that I was about to leave home and wire her the money, but since she feels that I do NOT have a loving home; I will take my $750 elsewhere. (I expressed interest in buying both puppies).
Then I get another e-mail in which she is trying to change her tone, asking that I promise to love these dogs, and to send her the ref# ASAP so that she can work on shipping my dogs.
I tell her ok, but I’m trying to sneak out so my wife does not become suspicious.
She says ok and to please get back with her ASAP.
These women are ruthless criminals who took advantage and there is no telling how many other people they have done this to. I know that chances are high that I may not get my money back, but if these women or this single person gets convicted of grand larceny, that’s enough for me.
