Description
I ordered a live amphibian from a company (also a scam). They used this company to overnight my purchase to me. The next day I got an email saying the animal was at the airport being held until I paid $100 for 1) AWB(Airway Bill) which is a normal requirement for live animals via air cargo shipments. It will cost $50 2) Health Certification and microchip or tag information, which will cost another $50. It seemed odd but I paid it. Then they said the insurance was another $75. I reached out to the seller about what was going on. They assured me it was normal. I paid. They said the animal would be delivered within 2 hours. Never got my animal or heard from the shipping company or seller since.
