I've been talking privately with Lisa about the imposter who is pretending to be a director of Ferret Haven by the Sea. Having had a personal imposter in the ferret community for a number of years I can tell you that YOU -- all the members of the ferret community -- are Lisa's shelter's best defense. How? You need to remember to DOUBT anyone who claims to be a director of Ferret Haven by the Sea until after you check with Linda. You don't have to be overt about it; imposters sometimes get very possessive of their fantasies so they can be unpleasant and even angry if they are challenged or if their fantasy world is crumbled. Just check, check, check before believing or assuming. Look at addresses: is the person using a similar but different address? Don't accept easily faked things like business cards. Doubt and check. Those are the two things which make you her shelter's best line of defense against this imposter. With your common sense behind her this problem can be reduced. [Posted in FML issue 4226]
