Description
Nellie J. Franklin Rescue Network is a large network of scammers who continuously change the name of their rescue and are propably located in another country. He/she went under the name of Mike Williams Boxers until September 2025. She attempted to take $650 from me and I did lose $230 before the "rescue" asked for transfer of ownership money, in addition to the pet purchase. The pictures she/he used for advertised puppies are fake and the puppies do not exist. See attached where another person scammed asked a lawyer about this same rescue two weeks before I got scammed.
