Mary,
Angela Jones has been ripping people off exactly as she did you. There are so many reports on the internet about her horse trading/selling scams!! Her daughter Tiffany is involved too.
Your story is what she has done to many people buying a horse from her. Auction horses being sold as "Kid broke, Confidence building, 4h, saddle club, horses". And she states the horses are her daughters, or her personal horse. She uses the " I am injured can no longer ride." scam alot. Now she has just added the niece with autism riding her horses as a way to get people to believe the horse she is selling is broke. She probably does not even have a niece with autism.
These lies are ways to get people to buy a horse that they would not buy if they knew the true background of the horse. She knows that she has you, when you drive many miles to TN to pick up the horse. Thats why she never has the vet and registration paperwork. So she does not have to spend money to have a vet check, or pay the fee for registration. She knows the buyer will leave with the horse. And that is more money in her pocket. She has a farrier put shoes on to cover up infections in the horses hooves. So the buyer does not see how bad the infections are.
She has even taken a money order from a buyer in TX and cashed it. She did not supply the horse or the money back. She has done this to many people. Taken payment on a horse that she was to have shipped to the buyer. She does not setup the shipping, and the buyer will get suspicious and drive to TN to get the horse - or Angela Jones will refuse the shipper, if the buyer sends a shipping company. There is a complaint on Uship where Angela Jones kept refusing the shipper the buyer sent.
She is trying to keep peoples money. Knowing if she does not answer the phone or certified mail, the buyer will feel there is no way to contact her and she will get to keep their money.
Angela Jones is committing fraud. In many ways!!!
She has no care for the danger she is putting people and /or their kids in with these auction horses.
Many victims want justice. Please contact me. Read my heading/or all the complaints on ripoffreport.com - you will see how to contact me.
