Description

On September 13, 2025, I found a Golden Retriever puppy named “Duke” on the website claudiagoldenretrieverpuppies.com. The seller asked me to provide my personal details and then requested payment of $800 USD via Zelle to Yavin Jones ([email protected] ). They claimed the puppy would be shipped to me the next day through Delta or American Airlines. Shortly after, I received an email from a fake shipping company (Pets Shippers International Transport Company) with a nonexistent tracking number. The company’s contact information and phone number were invalid, and they requested additional money for a “crate rental” and a “caution fee.”
