    Hi there,

    Get this. This is honest truth.

    She even offerred me a chance to write an article for her magazine. How about that!!!. True con merchant - delusional case. I declined and kept to the question of when the magazine and book would arrive. She went on about her blog and how this serves to provide help to all the farriers.

    REALLY? - and clearly a tool for acquiring subscriptions to a non existent magazine and book store retailing on the internet. From everybody's comments here, not one supporting her it is clear and balatant FRAUDULENT ACTIVITY.

    Glad I recorded the call.

    If I ever see that lady ever, I truly will be on the lookout for the biggest bucket of horse poop I can find.

    Being blatantly cheated AND and lied to - oh dear oh dear. Sames lies used in the past eh?.

    I really think that more people on her blog need tuning in to this sort of blog facade. They don't seem too aware this is happening.

    Regards,

    Paddy Falvey

    I count nine. And there's more on here I know that haven't posted to this thread.

    I thnk most folks here have contacted her at some point-on the phone, through email or in person. I gave her a "pass" when I found out her good friend who did alot of the photography for the mag was killed. And then again when she told me it's a quarterly publication and doesn't necessarily put the publication out four quarters per year, "doesn't specify which year", were her words. I do enjoy her blog though, and I suppose it is informative, but it isn't the magazine I paid for.....

    Did a little research, a class action lawsuit can be filed against her, just takes 3 people.

    The things I learn on farriersforum.com, I m going with a new business format based upon this discussion and the # of folks who say that they have not gotten their merchandise from Hoofcare and Lameness.

    Anyone who product orders from me can expect , that if it doesn't arrive, I'll say, but I didn't say when I would send it, and more to the point, isn't farriers forum enough?

    My point is, that at some point folks need to stop talking about the situation and do something about it, if only to set the record straight, even if it costs some time and money, if you feel that you have a case , get together and as Justin suggested, do a class action, or if I remember from the past ,I offered to help out to save travel etc. since I live in the same state. For all I know you are all correct, for all I know Fran is... but , you , have the recourse to do something !

    Regards

    John,
    I've the same feelings about the AFJ mag. Not much content and some articles are just piss poor. I stopped getting it.

    As for Fran's mag, I considered getting it, procrastinated, then seen the trouble others were having. THANK'S GUYS.

    I believe, she has caller ID on steroids.I know she won't accept registered mail. I know she accepts/cashes checks from the unknowing. I KNOW, SHE PLEADS VICTIM AND HIDES BEHIND SOME ONE WHEN CONFRONTED IN PUBLIC.
    I consider her, just another "Buckle Bunny" with all the same virtue ethics...

    I called her several times, sent a letter, and emailed. She always told me, "your on the list, it's coming." We'll, it never came. Then I got a hold of her again and she said,"who are you, like what have I done in the farrier industry." And told me she doesn't give refunds. I'd be happy to get a lawsuit together so she will stop doing it to others, but don't tell me I haven't contacted her. To heck with the books George, order a magazine subscription from her and we'll see if you get yours.

    George,

    no idea why ! I know I would if it happened to me,\. Some folks have stated that it was not worth the money and or time, I myself have believed that if it worth bitchin about it worth doing something about. I think Paddy has alluded to doing something. I never have purchased a subscription or advertising from Fran,

    Regards
