Unfortunately I read your website after subscribing to the dog training institute. However, I immediately called my bank and cancelled my debit card. I reported it stolen and when the charge comes through, my bank will refund the charge to me because it was a scam. Thank you SO MUCH!! Without your info I may have been charged more by these #%!*^!#%'s. Thanks, Paulette

Scam is not enough for that site. I fell for their site and gave my card info. to only find out the next morning that their site allows over seas sites to piggy back and charged my card 3 seperate charges of $30. each. I immediately cancelled the card and reported it to the fraud department of the bank. I am also reporting it to the Banking division in Washington Dc that over sees fraud. Please do not give them you information
ReplyDeleteThese crooks should go to jail!!
ReplyDeleteI unfortunately fell for the scam. I am so mad at myself. I am usually very careful about giving out my personal info. But, I was so excited about our new 8 week old bull terrier puppy, I got careless. Then, I found this site. I immediately called my bank, cancelled our cards, replaced them and talked to the fraud unit. I never could login. The message always said don't recognise. Any, I learned my lesson. Thank goodness I was only on for just over a week before I found you. Thanks so much. Hope they jail these people.
ReplyDeleteI ordered this e-book yesterday on Potty Training Labrador retreiver. There was suppose to be a book about 35housebreaking problems.When i tried to find out how to get that info I found your info. I guess I'll call my bank. This is going to cause alot of confusion in my life.
ReplyDeleteHello Nancy, Thank you for the daily instructions. Matty is a rescued dog, who has probably been abused, and we are trying to love him back! And train him too! His is about 1 year old and very bouncy - and can get over our fences!! He chases the outside cats, but is very good with out inside kittens! HELP!! Moira and Matty (in Corfu)
ReplyDeleteI, unfortunately, joined the trainadog site not knowing that I would never receive anything. The password did not work to the site. They took my money though. When I go to their site to cancel, I can't even do that as it says my email in unrecognizable, even though they email me every day.
ReplyDeleteJust so you know they are now using 2check out for processing fees, and when you cancel with 2 checkout, they move your card to another processor. Best to cancel your card.
Glad I found this site, I nearly took the bait. you guys saved me, I should give you the 37 bucks. Thanks
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately I did not find your site until I had enrolled. I have requested cancellation, but doubt that it will work. Also, there is no way to cancel the goffy emails that come every day.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your information and keeping me from getting scammed by these sites. Obviously people love their dogs and they present a nice actually too much reading ad to entice you to join. I always google reviews before I buy anything anymore. thanks again
ReplyDeleteThis person has been emailing for weeks trying to get us to put her 'award' on our site, and alternatively, using another name, trying to buy our website, bigdogsporch.com
ReplyDeleteToday it was discovered that she had infiltrated our forum posing as a member who 'sometimes breeds her pomeranians' - she was banned today. She claimed her name was Misti.
I Googled "Pom Training in Denver" and weird I was directed to the Trainpetdog site. I signed up for the free email because the word free is nice. After signing up for that I was directed to the site where you have to purchase the online training for a low fee of $37 something but that price was ONLY GOOD UNTIL MIDNIGHT! Something about the page didn't feel right so I Googled Trainpetdog and guess what...the first few pages had the word scam in it. I found this site and read some of the comments on RIPOFF report. So glad I didn't fall for it and unfortunately from the looks of it many people probably do.
ReplyDeleteyou got me once but it not over yet, you big
ReplyDeleteRIPOFF
BEWARE! Just received the email below today. I am a member of my Doberman Pinscher club. I am NOT and have NEVER BEEN a breeder! Needless to say, I did NOT click on the links, and will be reporting the email to Google/gmail as SPAM.

i just found out tonight what a scam this was, when i couldn't log into any of the websites. already have cancelled credit card and disputing 37 dollar payment with bank. thank you such much for your website. wish I would have found u sooner. thanks Brett
ReplyDeleteGlad I can laugh at myself, however I will be canceling my debit card now. I keep getting a recurring charge every month that says CC $9.99. It seems no one can tell me what this charge is for and I think i just figured it out...
ReplyDeleteThanks for the education!
I will be Google-ing xyx scam next time anything sound even remotely good!
Nan
Boy, what a lesson. I fell for the scam and then when requesting a refund and never being responded to I did the google search. From now on I'll do the search first. Thanks for all of your efforts here. I will get a refund from my credit card company because of your site's and others documenting this. This is the first time in all online purchases I have had this experience.
ReplyDeleteGood thing i found your site as i almost fell for this scam myself.
ReplyDeleteFortunately no credit card details given so i have lost nothing - thanks to the people who run this site!
Thanks again
Thank you everyone for the positive comments. It helps us know that we need to keep this site going until Sumantra Roy has ceased this business.

They are still at it. However, my story is worse. They cleaned out my wife's bank account. They charged for airline tickets to Istanbul from Turkish Airways and other charges.
ReplyDeleteWe hope that accumulating our records and evidence about these scammers will eventually help authorities to put them behind bars.
ReplyDeleteI found your site after googling Ruff Sitwell, whom Nancy claimed was a fellow trainer and friend,in the hope of finding more free stuff.
ReplyDeleteAnyway just letting you know they are still going strong. Luckily I'm too mean to pay out money to sites like these anyway and have now unsubscribed from the 'Free stuff' also.
Incidentally, is Eric Letendre connected to this group as a lot of Nancy's 'advice' looks very similar to his.
BLESS YOU FOR TAKING THE TROUBLE TO WARN US.
