Description

We purchased a puppy online with shipping for $800. The seller said he took the puppy to Dallas/Fort Worth Airport for shipping. Then I received an email from [email protected] Registration#254972 VAT NO. 1E8254972B about needing money for an Electronic Air Controlled Crate to transport the puppy in. To rent the cheapest one was $1,580.00. I had been communicating by email and phone calls from a "Jim" requesting me to send money through PaypalID [email protected] or Chime ID $Kaztynnee-Zamorez or Cashapp tag $nessaa995 or $CoryG103 then he tried to request me to send money to this ID. Thank goodness they aps & my banks declined the transactions. Unfortunately, I gave him my husbands credit card information to put the transaction through to pay for it. Today my husband received an email from the credit card company asking if 2 transactions to a business if they were made by him. They were not to the transport company but some other company. I immediately went into the credit card account and selected there was a problem with those transactions and locked the card and requested a new card with a new number. There were several emails back & forth with "Jim" hounding me for the money and sounding sincere about getting the puppy to me. There are way too many to post here. In researching to see if they are a scam I found https://www.scamwarners.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=160851 where there reports of the following 2 company names with the same scams: AmericanAirMovers.com & UnitedairMovers.com. The AtlanticsTransportServices has an "s" at the end of Atlantics. There is a company online without the "s". The website notes the following are Our Official Partners: UPS Ready, DHL, FedEx & United States Postal Service. They also noted in the scamwarners.com they are registered with the USDA.
