Description

Posted about puppies I was interested in. I asked questions. She sent me a price of $400. and that was the total. If we met 1/2 way it would be addl $50. I agreed to this. Now a total of $450. Jennifer did request $150 to reserve the puppy. I did pay this as it is standard. the day before pick up she messaged me and wanted an addl $150 to complete paperwork and the vet visit. I refused as this is part of the sale of the puppy. She sent me a paper with the puppy's name and my name - she wanted me to sign and return to her. I refused - I let her know that I would give her that when I picked up the puppy and paid the final payment. Day of pick up - Jennifer messaged me via FB with a family emergency and said she would be hiring a company to deliver the pup to my door by 8:00 am. Then the demands for money started. The logistic company emailed wanting $699 or $999 for a air conditioned crate for the puppy to travel in and they would refund the money when they delivered the dog. They only accept payment in cash apps - then they demanded the funds for the flight for the pup to fly here. I refused to send the addl money. They threatened to sue me and file a police report and put me in jail. I told them to please file the report and call the police. The Logistic company does not disclose a person or a phone # to contact anyone - they will only email you. The last email I received and I have over 20 emails from them demanding I pay for the dog to fly and be delivered they said I obviously do not love my puppy. I have never met the dog and I do not know of any logistic company that would threaten or get involved on a personal level with any customer. Both Jennifer and the logistic company have been horrible. I was willing to pay for the pup. I was swindled and I am just sick that they did this to my family. I will try to upload the entire email conversation for you to read. Buyers beware do not do business with these people. They are thieves and will lie to you and bully you. Feel free to contact me. I will tell you the entire ordeal. Leslie
