We have some one living in the IOW requesting dontations to help with ferret welfare's / shelters and following is the reply from one of these rescues who's name is being used in this scam. According to the charity commission here in the UK no one should send any money or cheques to anyone unless all cheques are made payable to the rescue itself. Scams like this are being run all the time ....................................................................... From: 'Anne C Robinson' Dear Amos Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Following an emergency meeting of the Trustees we have contacted the person responsible for posting the messages on a variety of ferret forums, and have taken the necessary steps to stop the problem. You should find that the ferretology web-site is now inactive. It is the policy of our Trustees not to participate in ferret forums. However, our reputation is important to us so once again, thank you for taking the time and trouble to highlight a problem. If you require any further information relating to the Welfare please do not hesitate to contact us.
