Description
Scammer advertised puppy on their online website, made it seem very trustworthy by giving a sweet story about their family and where + how they raise the puppies. After emailing in interest, they emailed back asking basic questions like what kind of living environment the puppy would have, etc. They “chose” my family to receive a certain puppy, then asked for a down payment of 500 and asked me to sign a bill of contract. Filled this out and then they asked for me to pay the rest and they would ship the puppy to me. Had to leap through hoops and barrels to try to pay them through multiple different payment sites (Venmo, Zelle, PayPal, Apple Pay). After paying, they told me the puppy was ready to get on a plane and I would be contacted by the delivery service they use. The delivery service emailed me and called me telling me I needed to pay an addition 990 dollars for an air conditioned crate and they would refund me all of it but 20 dollars. When we tried to call our guy, he did not answer and told me it would be fine. Finally realized it was a scam and am now trying to dispute for my money through my bank.
