Kismet Kittens, a Persian cat breeder located in Florida, hired my service in November, 2012, to provide intensive SEO work on her failing website. A great deal of work was done for this client (In excess of 40 hours of work) in accordance with the scope of the project as agreed to. Additional work was provided in the way of creating additional pages of content, including professional copy writing, to help the client's website rank for long tail keyword variations.The client indicated throughout the process that she was very pleased with the work, which was promptly completed over a period of 8 weeks. Once the production site was ready for final review. I contacted Allana and asked her to review the final product so that any final revisions could be done and the new site uploaded to her hosting account. She emailed my advising that she was sick, and would take care of it as soon as she was able. I heard nothing from her for several days. I again contacted Allana several times by email over a period of a few days, but heard nothing back. The following day, I received a notification from Paypal advising that Allana had initiated a chargeback on the money she paid me for the services. Her reason stated was "product not received". I contacted her immediately to find out why she would do such a thing. Her reason was that "she did not hear from me and that I was not communicating with her". She then advised that she had changed her email address (without informing me), and had deleted the email account with which we had always corresponded.I was immediately suspicious that she had always intended to get her money back after I had provided the services. She and her husband, who is apparently involved in the computer field, had wanted me to upload the new website files to their private server, prior to final approval.Upon confronting her about the chargeback, Allana was apologetic, and stated that she didn't understand much about computers, and did not realize that her chargeback would immediately remove the money I had already earned from my account. She agreed that she would reverse the chargeback, and asked that I modify the format of a couple of files that she was concerned about, since I had implemented the use of php includes to display information from one page within another, instead of using "frames" which she had been using (which effectively render the content of a page unreadable by the search engines). She reversed the chargeback, and I agreed to make the change (against my better judgement, considering the detrimental effect frames have on search engine ranking). The changes were made promptly the very day I spoke with her. I then emailed her (at her new address) and asked her again to review the production site so that we could finalize the job.Lo and behold, instead of even looking at the finished website, which was very well done and would have given her a dramatic boost on the search engines, she once again attempted to initiate a charge back on Paypal. Fortunately Paypal will not allow a charge back twice for the same transaction.She then emailed me and made all kinds of threats to ruin my reputation, sue me, etc., etc., if I did not return "her money" immediately. The services had been more than provided, and I even had out of pocket expenses for a Facebook advertising campaign that I am sure helped her sell more than a few kittens.I have been in business for more than 14 years providing services to small pet related businesses, and have not once had a complaint filed against me. I have many, many clients for whom I have obtained high positions for competitive keywords on Google, including the #1 listing for Persian Kittens on Google. My track record and good reputation speak for themselves.Allana Myers has since been posting completely false information about this situation throughout the internet. Her posts are patently ridiculous, and it seems obvious through her writing that she is upset that she didn't get away with stealing services from me. She has also been posting as "another unsatisfied customer", however it is obvious in the rambling, nonsensical statements that it is the same individual doing the writing.Allana Myers actions speak of someone who is very well-versed in the intricacies of filing charge backs, and I would expect that she has done this before to other service providers.There are two sides to every story, Allana, and I have the files, documentation and statements you made to me in emails to back up my side of things.
Do they still do business under this name (Kismet)? I'm asking because I found another via FB (myteacupkittens.com) with lovely pics but want to know if they are reputable or if anyone has had experience with them
Her website was never down so you obviously have not a clue about what you're saying Allyson Cubr. We purchased a kitten who is the love of our life.
We also saw all you and your friends on here making up lies to validate your bogus claims. I would suggest anyone interested in buying from breeder to have her send you all evidence of this mentally ill stalker who is posting false reviews and also comments pretending to be other buyers, this speaks to YOUR unstable emotions. I've read all your claims which changed since you filed in Florida and LOST then in Illinois and Lost again. Here is the thing you actually have to have proof your your lies which clearly you didn't have.
Your kitten died from an overdose from anesthesia which lies with you not breeder. Oh also anyone reading these complaints can look at how close together some are especially the comments which any person can see is written by Allyson Cubr in Illinois . As far as breeder being mentally ill and name calling what a joke. I bought my kitten from the same litter you did and dealt with her husband 99% Of the time because this breeder has cancer which she told you at the time during process of purchase as she told us, I find your and your friends to be the unstable mentally ill ones in this case.
As this breeder was kind to us and never even used foul language. You're garbage.
Gee... The website is down now, Matthew Myers.
BUYER BEWARE: This breeder is apparently mentally unstable. She comes off all nice at the beginning answering questions, sending photos, but if you ask a question about the particular kitten you are buying, she will begin avoiding the questions that she doesn't want to answer and will then go ballistic and the drop of a hat and accuse you of all sorts of things, then she begins with the name-call, ridiculing, insulting and even stalking.
Stay away from her. She and her husband appear to be dangerous and threatening.
We had a terrible experience with them, actually, it was a nightmare! Also note she responds to these comments, but she is posing as someone who as purchased when it's obvious it's her, defending herself.
No she doesn't respond as I mentioned to her these complaints then was emailed proof of Allyson Cubr and her self and friends posing as customers, she told me she does not reply but emailed us the proof.
So you're lying and posting as numerous people. Love all the close together comments so obvious.
She asks her buyers to respond if they had a good experience which we did. We all are waiting for proof of your huge vet bills.
Yes, it certainly appears that this breeder has a Jekyll and Hyde personality. Its easy to tell she and/or her husband are commenting as if they are customers.
The name calling is ridiculous. I feel so sorry for poor little sick creatures they are bringing into the world only to die in the arms of their brokenhearted owners.
Has anyone contacted the local media about this couple? This is a kitten mill and they need to be stopped.
I did some research on her. Her name is Allana Jean Lee.
She has been charged with domestic assault a couple of times in the past in Florida. (I will keep digging) This pair (she and current husband, Matthew Myers) are very bad news. The are sociopaths who breed cats with serious health issues. They sell kittens that are frail and sick to well meaning buyers, who end up being heartbroken when they fall in love with these sick kittens that later die.
Buyers incur huge expense in veterinary bills. When approached about selling these sick Persians, the Myers lie, insult, verbally abuse, and even cyberstalk their victims. (They threatened one Lady with destroying her business and having her investigated for child neglect.) (They knew nothing about either, but threatened to make false claims).Evil, *** people.
Save your money and go elsewhere for a Persian. There is a wonderful breeder in Orlando, Linda at catscreation.com
I bought two kittens off of this breeder both were healthy and cared for.
I saw all the evidence breeder had which proved the person filing this is not only a liar but is actually blaming her for her kitten getting fixed and dying under anesthesiology and she believes that the breeder should replace the kitten.
I saw the text message from her husband admitting the kitten died as a reaction to anesthesiology and I saw the vet paperwork clearly showing the kitten died from being neutered.
Breeder provided me all of this information. I also saw the complaint she filed and lost. I saw several emails from this person filing complaint who repeatedly changed her story and that the kitten did not have a deadly congenial defect as she states.
The person filing this complaint is a blatant liar. I dealt personally with this breeder and she's a very nice person. I also saw where this breeder offered you another kitten at a discount because she felt sorry for you which she wasn't obligated to do. This complaint is total BS.
If I was this Breeder I would sue you. I'm glad I'm not one of those folks that takes reviews as fact.
I called six breeders and this was the only one that called me back and was beyond fair in my dealings with her.
I am so sorry this happened to you, my heart just broke :( My poor cats were bred by her and have had such a rough go of it.... They are three now and I'm praying they're in the clear but they have been sick nonstop and it kills me.
$15k in vet bills and still no answer as to why one has such trouble breathing. It is just beyond saddening
hum BS let's see your proof copy of vet bills, emails to breeder complaining. I bet you have no proof and this is the same lady as above. Nice try.
