Description
I was having a puppy shipped that I just purchased. I received an email from the freight company stating that I needed a thermal electric crate to ship him. There was three tiers to choose from so I chose the cheapest which was $1000 and they stated the money would be refunded when the pup was delivered. I received another email stating that I had waited too long to make the payment and that crate was no longer available. I needed to pay an additional $500 for the next tier of crate. All of this money would be refunded to me when the puppy was delivered. Since it was late in the evening they said the puppy wouldn't ship until the next day which is today and I received an email stating he needed a special vaccine for another $1k. I knew I was being scammed. When I asked for a return of my money that I was no longer needing to have the dog, they threatened to put him in quarantine. I have all the emails if you'd like me to send them. But please shut this down!!
