Description

Rehoming puppy on facebook and Cheryl Scotting contacted me. Would only communicate thru messenger or text. Sent fee to Cheryl via Apple Pay and gift card--only way to make payment. Cheryl sent message saying puppy at Blue Freight Logistics, Ltd. Contacted by "Dary" from Blue Freight. Immediately said need $900 for a/c kennel rental for puppy and I would be reimbursed once the puppy was delivered. Also only accepted gift cards or Apple Pay. Then said puppy needed to be insured $2200--also to be reimbursed. Paid with gift cards. Then city permits -- $1,500 - paid. Then customs fee--$1000. Paid all of these last minute fees one at a time--always one more after one was paid. Puppy on his way will be in delivered tonight. Then a text message saying puppy swallowed small ball and now has an obstruction and needs emergency surgery and I needed to send $7500. I insisted to speak with the vet. Kept refusing until finally a "Dr Ken" with no practice who only works for Blue Freight did call from 1-659-213-6031. Dary was also on the call saying that I already told her we would not fly the puppy without the $7500 surgery. I should of know this was a scam for their unprofessional, gaslighting. Some comments from them to me when questioned was I was just an old selfish woman and I was liar and lying when I said I spoke with a local vet. Harassing phone calls demanding more money non-stop. Turns out Blue Freight Logistics, Ltd is known as a scam website.
