Description

I was looking for a golden retriever puppy for my family and came upon this website, it looked legitimate so I sent an email inquiring about one of the puppies. I sent the email 10-20-2025 and received an email back explaining the business and the process of getting a puppy. I waited a few days on making my decision considering this was a chunk of change that I would be spending. Once I decided to move forward I sent an email with my physical address, phone number, and email. I asked if I could pay 300 now and then 300 when I saw the dog in person knowing that it wasn't a scam and was told that was fine. I even called because the number for apple pay was different than the phone number I called. I should have known then it was a scam because I had this happen before. I was told that there was a free shipping coupon that I could use however when it came time for payment I was told the entire 600 needed to be paid upfront to use that coupon. I had issues with payment for apple pay. I could only use my debit card and not my credit card. I tried Zelle however I couldn't pay with Zelle, then I tried cash app and cash app wouldn't let me send the payment. All of this should have been red flags for me however I was trusting this person was running a true puppy business. Another red flag should have been that the cash app name was not Jayden or the business name. Despite all of the red flags I still moved forward with payment. I was discussing this with a friend and her husband was near by and did some digging and found out that this website and person was a scam. The address they use the owner of that house the name is different than what I am assuming to be the true name of the "breeder." G. Enriquez is the cash app name however in my emails the "breeder" says his name is Jayden. I am sharing this in hopes no one else gets scammed into paying for a puppy they will never receive.
