"Stop Puppy Fraud" Website Launched

As you may know, BioJobBlogger was recently sued for defamation, invasion of privacy and punitive damages by Donna Roberts and Dawn Abrams two so called dog breeder.

To that end, a group of concerned dog advocates and friends have created a website called Stop Puppy Fraud to help to raise awareness about fraudulent dog breeders and to help raise money to defray legal expenses.

P.S. The dog in the pic is Moose-- a two to five year old mixed breed dog (misrepresented as a 9 month old Havanese purebred) rescued from Abrams and Roberts.

Thankfully, he is in much better shape today than in the pic (taken less than a week after we purchased him from Dawn Abrams) with bilateral ear infections, a fulminant urinary tract infection that prevented him from urinating and necrotic gums and rotting front teeth that were ultimately saved by a veterinary dental expert).

Until next time...

Good Luck and Help Save the Puppies!!!!!!

Summertime Blues

Summer has finally arrived and everyone I know is kicking back, looking forward to their previously planned vacations and enjoying their four day (summer hours) work week. While many folks still have jobs, the unemployment rates are not dropping as quickly as anticipated and large numbers of layed-off and right-sized former life sciences employees are still without jobs. 

I recently checked the BioJobBlog archives and quickly realized that I have written close to 100 posts on how to craft an industrial strength resume, conduct a job search, prepare for a phone or face-to-face job interview, network and negotiate a job offer. To that end, I thought it might be informative and constructive to resurrect some of these older posts and re-assemble them into a thread that describes each step of the job hunting process. Also, as many of you may know, I was recently sued by an odious individual for invasion of privacy and defamation because I exposed her alleged illegal dog breeding and puppy mill ring. 

Consequently, much of my free time over the next two weeks will be spent on the case. That said, I will begin posting daily job hunting tips and advice on July 5, 2010.

I hope that my readers find this series useful. Also, I would like to hear from those of you who despise and abhor persons who mistreat and abuse animals and are willing to help me put my accuser out of business for good!!!!!!!!

Until next time...

Good Luck and Good Job Hunting!!!!!!!!!

 

The Dog Grifters: Donna Roberts and Dawn Abrams Strike Again

Despite a down economy, it appears that business for the dog grifting team of Donna Roberts aka Marcie Duben (and many other false identities) and Dawn Abrams is booming. The reason that  I know this is that over the past week or so I have received several message regarding from BioJobBlog readers about bogus dog transactions.
 
The interesting thing about these despicable human beings is that they seem to think that they can continue ;to get away with ripping people off with no reprecussions. The reason I continue to post stories about them is the hope that more and more people will learn about them and eventually we will; be able to shut down their fradulent puppy mill ring!  To that end, please pass the information along that nobody ought to buy dogs from these grifters! 
 
Hopefully, if enough us band together and remain vigilant in spreading the word about these nefarious individuals then we will prevail and doglovers will be able to sleep better at night.
 
Unitl next time...
 
Good Luck and Spread the Word about Donna and Dawn

 

 

Dawn Abrams and Donna Roberts Continue to Scam Would Be Dog Owners

Despite court rulings, statewide investigations and public humiliation, Dawn Abrams and Donna Roberts continue to scam would be dog owners who want to buy puppies and give them good homes. 

A would be client sent me an e-mail message claiming that he was duped by the dynamic duo of sleaze because he didn’t research them in advance. Like me, he believed that these people were legitimate before it was too late. 

According to his message, these brazen and seemingly unrelenting grifters are currently doing business as:

Havanese Puppies Ready to Go (Danalyn, Medford/Vincentown)

537 Oakshade Rd., Vincentown, NJ 08008

609-346-6571

The Vincentown address is where Dawn Roberts lives in a run down farm house with 6 children. Apparently, Donna Roberts is using one of her tried and true aliases Marie Dueben (who I think is the name of one of her ex-husband’s wives). The person who wrote to me contends that these odious individuals are also doing business as My Cute Muppets on the Puppyfind website.

Despite repeated unsuccessful attempts to shut Dawn and Donna down, these amoral and unethical scumbags continue to dupe innocent, unsuspecting would-be dog owners. It is a shame that these jerks are not big enough criminals to make it onto the New Jersey State radar of people to put away. But, as I always say, what goes around comes around.

And I hope that Dawn and Donna’s days of reckoning comes around sooner rather than later.

Until next time…

Keep the faith; there is justice in the world! 

 

The Dark Underside of New Jersey Dog Breeders: Grace Abrams Strikes Again

I heard today from another one of Grace Abrams’ grifting victims. Apparently, this individual purchased a sick puppy from Ms. Abrams several months ago which at one year old developed some problems that likely resulted from congenital defects due to inbreeding. This person told me that a friend of hers also purchased a ‘Havanese” from Ms. Abrams which they suspect really isn’t a Havanese (despite ‘papers’ that indicate that it is). As you may recall, we also received suspect pedigree papers for the dogs that we purchased from Ms. Abrams (which prompted us to get both dogs tested). I sent Grace’s most recent victims information on the Wisdom Panel DNA tests that we used to perform genetic testing on our dogs, the results of which confirmed that Moose, our so-called Havanese, was really a mixed breed dog!

I wonder how long it will take Donna Roberts to send me one of her threatening, vitriolic notes  (read the comments) after I post this story?  I will keep you posted….

Until next time…

Good Luck with finding a new puppy!!!!!!!

The Dark Underside of New Jersey Dog Breeders: The Saga Continues

 I invite those of you who have been following this story to take a few minutes to read the comments that Donna Roberts continues to leave on my blog. Ms Roberts, who was convicted of several counts of animal cruelty in New Jersey last summer, is the mother of Grace aka “Dawn” Abrams who fraudulently sold me my dog Moose several months ago. Although, Ms. Roberts was not involved in the transaction between Grace and me, she continues to send me threatening and bullying e-mail messages proclaiming her daughter’s (and her own) innocence.

I continue to post Ms. Robert’s comments because I want people who read my blog to understand the type of person that I am dealing with! Unfortunately, she reminds me a lot of Sarah Palin—another woman of questionable ethics and integrity. And, I am sad to say that Ms Roberts is about as bright as Ms. Palin too!

Until next time….

Good Luck and Vote for Obama
