Description

This person has a website claiming to sell papillon puppies. My sister reached out to them via email and they said they would ship the puppy to her. There is no contact information on their website other than a "contact us" tab that allows you to send your information to them for them to reach out to you. Once they communicated by email several times and she agreed to purchase the puppy, they sent her a contract to sign and asked her to wire the money from her bank. This is the only method of payment they would accept. They also told her to tell her bank that she was sending the money to a family member as the bank would probably reject the transaction if she told them it was to purchase a pet due to widespread scams. Once she told them she was not comfortable sending the money this way, they stopped responding to her. The phone number on the contract they drew up also goes to a Google Voice phone number that asks you to state your name before it will connect the call. It then goes to a voicemail recording for a man with a very thick accent who does not state his name.
