Description

This is Jerry Walker the breeder of the Australian shepherd puppies. I am writing in regards to your interest in our puppy Wiggle . I emailed you some pictures and information about Wiggle did you receive it? I did! I just responded :) Thank you for responds am really impressed. We are located in Marshall Missouri. Is there anything else you will like to know about Wiggle? I have kids, they are great with dogs but are there any signs of concerns with her and kids? Wiggle is very playful with kids and other pets. With no delay, I’ll be needing the following information from you so that I can immediately start working on all necessary paperworks of Wiggle. -Full Names -Email -Phone Number -House Address -Closest airport to your house Perfect! We are by O'Hare, Midway or Milwaukee, whichever is best! Do you meet halfway? I don't know if Springfield, IL is half way or not Thanks for the information. We accept payments via Zelle and Cashapp for easy confirmation and refunding of your money incase you change your mind. Which of these are you familiar with? Zelle Do you want delivery or pickup? Do you meet halfway for pick up, like in Springfield? I always do meetups but the moment I can't because my car has some issues. What day are you thinking? Is Wiggle ready right now? Wiggle is ready now. Here is the Zelle info where you will be making the payments. Email: [email protected] Name: Christian Goode Memo: Wiggle Please send a confirmation screenshot of the payments so I can attach to the sales contract showing I received money from you. Sorry I have to ask as I've been scammed in the past, why do I send to Christian instead of to Jerry Walker? What's the delivery process? Am sorry to hear that but my Zelle is currently on limit that’s the reason why. The Delivery procedure for her to your location will be quite easy and non-stressful delivery for her. We ship from the best reputable animal travel professionals who understand the sophisticated needs and method entailed to get her flown with care, utmost safety and security which is our number one priority, she is crate trained and she’ll travel without any problem. A pet nanny will be on board to ensure she is 100% sound and healthy right up to delivery point at your location.Also once I get Toot registered at the agency they will contact you with a tracking number which you can track and know the actual location of your puppy including the departure and arrival time of the puppy. Do you know if it will be driven or flown? He will be Flown. Ok what's the breakdown of the cost and how much is needed to be Zelled as a deposit The full amount has to be paid before I get Wiggle delivered to you. Ok we are leaning towards driving to get her but we will have to figure out when Okay So do want to pay for the deposit now and the rest when you pick up? That's what I'm thinking right now We were supposed to get a puppy yesterday for pick up but were scammed. So my kids are ready for a puppy but I'm nervous coming of a scam too So lots of emotions going on over here ?? I am a legitimate business person and will never take advantage over my clients. Ok let me talk to my husband again. We just chatted real quick over lunch From a delivery perspective, how soon could she be delivered I can get her delivered to you tomorrow. That's awesome! Would we pick up at the airport? Also a little silly question, when is her birthday? I can make arrange for them to deliver to your house or rather still you pickup at the airport 1st March 2023 Ok at it would $950 Yes correct. Would we be able to get her delivered to the house? Yes I can get her delivered to your house. Ok I think I'm finally all out of question ?? we will Zelle later tonight Okay hoping to hear from you soon Ok my husband just Zelled Thanks. I'll be getting Wiggle delivered tomorrow right? Yes that works! Okay please give sometime to work on the sales contract. Ok I emailed you the sales contract. Item 5 says Dino, not Wiggle Sorry about the I just corrected the error. No problem, just sent the signed document Okay. Do you have an ETA for Wiggle yet? My kids didn't want to go to school today to wait haha Good morning Kate I'll be heading to the agency soon. I'll let you know once am done. Sounds good! Thank you! Hi there I just got Wiggle registered at the agency. They will email you soon. Yay! Thank you for the update! The carrier is rejecting your crate? Yeah they are saying you need to rent a crate before they can proceed. I sent them payment but they are saying they don't have it so if they refuse to ship Wiggle, I might have to do a refund They won't refuse if you sent the payments. Did you send them a confirmation screenshot of the payments? They're refusing to send her They are saying they haven't received the money yet and you don't want to send them a screenshot. I sent it and I don't understand why they need a screenshot for money sent if it's fully refundable I don't know why they are acting like this, at this point, if you can work it out with them, great. If not, then let's start the return process for Wiggle You're acting wired. Why would you not send them a confirmation screenshot if you did send the payments? Send me the screenshot I'll sent it to them they will verify again from their end and Wiggle will be out for delivery. They wanted me to send to a personal account at first, then they say their credit card site is down and their website is a .buzz If you don't want me to return, if you want to put down the fully refundable deposit, then let's do that It's weird that you dropped off a puppy in a carrier that is apparently not safe to fly in so I can get another puppy that's like 2 hours from my house. I did pay them via Zelle when I was getting Wiggle registered. They told me their credit card website is under maintenance. I can't not refund you. The issue is coming from you end. If you did pay the crate fee why not prove that to them so they can go on with your delivery? Why can't you refund me? You didn't provide an approved crate. If you don't want to refund me, then you can use the money I sent you to secure a create. If you don't want to to do that, then refund me. Why didn't you provide a proper crate? I had not idea it will be rejected and moreover the crate wasn't involved in our agreement. I thought you said you shipped puppies before? I sent you $950, why can't you use that money to put down the fully refundable deposit? I am currently at the hospital with my sick son. I spent everything already I don’t have up to that amount left on me I would have done that. I only have $300 on me right now. I will just call the police at this point then The company said the breeders can put a deposit down as well I can have the $300 sent to them and you complete. If you want to deal with them, that's fine. I told them to reach out to you to handle Meaning you lied you sent crate money. Calling the police won't implicate me because our agreement say you will take full responsibilities of Wiggle. I recalled the payment already I Will have the $300 sent to them and you complete the payments. I don't have possession of Wiggle and that's when I become the legal owner You're already the new and legal owner of Wiggle. All the paperworks with them shows you're the new owner of Wiggle. Nope not how that goes. Also says I will be getting Wiggle today and you aren't fulfilling that part either All this isn't necessary at the moment. The issue is the crate. Do I send them the $300 and you complete the rest? If you want to ensure that I get Wiggle, I will happily accept her. Her cage is ready, her toys are ready, her food is ready. You will definitely get Wiggle. That I can guarantee you. The problem is I only have $300. I gave you $950 last night, not even 12 hours ago I spent already at the hospital. I have a sick son who is suffering from cancer. Sorry to hear that but maybe the $300 will be enough for them to send Wiggle since you have a business relationship with them They won't let me. Where is Wiggle now? With them at the agency. What's the address? She is the airport, Marshall Odell municipal airport. Can you refund me the $300 and do the rest later? There's no puppy there Wiggle is there with them. They are a private pet delivery agency and have their own planes that they use for delivery. I just called the airport, there is no puppy there Wiggle is right there with them. The airport said no puppy was dropped off today Have you refunded my Zelle yet? Not yet I already sent it to them. I want the Zelle back today Can you get them to send her in the crate you provided? I told i told you earlier I can not refund you because the issue is coming from your end. I will let the police handle then You didn't provide the right crate and refuse to make it right. I want a refund We had a deal and a crate wasn't part of the deal. Where should I send the police to get the puppy? You have my house address You said Wiggle is at the agency, where is she? At the agency but the cops can come to my house. I am not afraid of that we had a deal. What time should I send them? I'll be leaving the hospital soon. I'll let you know when am home Ok What address should I send them to? 1690 S Redman Ave, Marshall, MO 65340 That's not a farm Who will be at the residence that I should tell them to talk to My wife and kids. Names? Eline Walker What time should I have them arrive? In 2hours I want the police to get her now, what is the address of the agency I sent it to you already. The agency address What is the agency address? I send that to you already I don't know you asking me Wiggle is at the airport with them You never sent the agency address and no one at the airport says Wiggle is there I want the police to get her from the agency address The can’t get her. Wiggle will soon be registered as an abandoned dog. Please let me be I’ll figure out a way to get my puppy back. I hate clients who fake their love for my puppies This is a scam and you've been reported to the FBI already Suit yourself. I am waiting for them at my address since y'all take legitimate breeders for scams. You even lied you had paid for the crate when you didnt You aren't legit, refund my money if you are so legitimate I paid and retracted because it was a scam as well Then why did you buy from us? I thought you were legit yesterday, not today How did you even get to know us. I taught you where recommended by someone who already purchased a dog from us Never said that, getting your victims mixed up Refund the money if you are a real business Real businesses refund all the time We won't refund the problem is you not us So now you think you can take my "property" As you called it What makes you think you can keep "my" dog now? I wanted to meet in Springfield but your car wasn't working but seems to be fine today
