Description

On Thursday August 31,2023 I found what I thought was a reputable dog breeder that I could get a puppy from. They told me that the puppy was $550. and $150. for shipping him to me. So on Friday morning I sent a money gram payment for $700.00. Their customer service said to please be patient with them and they would ship my puppy soon. Well I didn’t hear anything from them so on Monday Sept 4 I test them again. I explained that I was not happy about the way they had ignored my test. They said that my puppy would be shipped out that day by end of day. When I started questioning them about how, when, and where I was supposed to get him at they told me that they would let me know by end of day. When Tuesday came they said the shipper wanted a $1000. Refundable Deposit. I told them absolutely not. I was not going to pay that amount. Then I asked for my money back since the say on the website that they have a money back guarantee. They said again they would send it by end of day. Now this is Thursday and I haven’t heard from them about my money. I live on social security and do not have that kind of money to throw around. I am 71 years old and wanted the puppy for comfort. However if they are not going to send me the dog they could just give me my money back. I Ahmed filed a complaint with the Distric Attorney office of Consumer Protection Services also. I really don’t want someone else to get scammed. I have the texts the transpired between us saying they would send back my money. I don’t have any address for them just the town, zip code, and phone number.
