I was in touch with a person on Facebook, Emily Greg (https://www.facebook.com/627594290443857/), pug puppies for adoption and rehoming, selling Pugs for $500 on May 07, 2025. I gave a $200 down payment for a puppy as a Mother’s Day gift to my wife. On the day I was supposed to meet her to pay the rest for the dog, she came up with an excuse about leaving town. She uses a shipping company called Express Dispatch to ship the dog, Tennessee, to Florida. Long story short, I was notified that the shipping crate was not standard for the flight, and a rental was $600 with a 99% refund on delivery. As soon as I paid, I got hit with a $999 insurance fee and a promise by Express-Dispatch to get my refund back. Against my better judgement, I paid the $999.00, which at this point I was in debt for $5650, and Express-Dispatch has sworn to give me $1,350 for inconvenience for a total of $7000. On Monday, June 30, 2025, I received the following: "Hello Mr. Hector we have being trying to withdraw your money from your refund account before we can Zelle it to you but it won’t be able to proceed with the withdrawal because the minimum amount you can withdraw from your refund account is $10,000, and currently you have just $7000 and this’s because the money have been in your refund account for over a month already so you will have to complete $3000 now to make it $10,000 before it’s can be withdraw so your total refund will be $12,000 once you do your payment THANK YOU" I’m still fighting with Express-Dispatch to get my refund back, but they want me to pay the $3000 so I can get a refund of $12,000. At this point, I don’t think they want to give me my money back as much as they text me when I’m making a payment, or this is a scam. All I know is that I'm out of $5,650, and I want to warn everyone about this puppy for adoption and rehoming scam on social media.
