Description

I was searching for a breeder for Doberman Pinscher puppies and I came across a website that seemed very legitimate. It contained very well put together information about health guarantees, transportation, how long they have been in business, etc. I put in a request to inquire about a puppy and was contacted by the person who said they were the breeder. They texted me what seemed like all the right information and answered all of my questions so I agreed to put a deposit down on one of the puppies. They immediately started pressing me for money when I started questioning about seeing veterinary papers and asking for pictures of the mother and father and more of the puppy. This person ignored my requests and would only identify themselves by what I'm presuming is someone's last name. After doing some research, I found out that this "company" has scammed many others and operates from all over the country using the same material on the websites, but under different names. I then told this person that I was rescinding my decision because of the information I found out and requested my deposit back. They got very angry when I told them why I was no longer interested and refused communication. The following day I received a text saying that they would refund my deposit. I sent them my tag for Venmo and never heard back or received my money.
