Description

Advertised labrador puppies for sale with option to ship.On the website selected the dog i wanted to purchase, was contacted via text, submitted name, address, phone, email. They requested payment via zelle,(first time i used the service) sent$750 . Stated they would get the puppy registered and ready for transit. Today 12-9-2025, said the dog was shipped. Got contacted by the scam shipping company purolatorlogistics.com that i needed to secure a thermal crate for $1500. Refundable mostly upon receipt of dog. Paid $1500 via zelle to move the shipping along. Later in the day got notified i needed to secure pet insurance for $1999 (which is just shy of what the daily limit is for zelle) I declined, stated these charges were not included in the terms of our agreement, the shipping company stated the dog would need to be picked up. If it was shipped from OK, the shipper stated it was on hold in KY . So i contacted the seller via text, shocked that this happened and we could work a solution in the morning. So I am out $2250. Thank you for your efforts in exposing this scam.
