Description

I went to there website and found a puppy that I liked and filled out the information to contact them (seller) on 11/24/2023. The seller sent me back a long text telling me all about the puppy named Whiskey that I was interested in. He sent me testimonials and told me about how great his company was and such. He told me that the puppy was $500 due to the fact that they had some new litters coming soon. He said that he had some free shipping coupons that I could use one if I wanted to get my puppy before December 4, 2023, that way it wouldn't cost me anything to ship the puppy. He said that I needed to send the money through an app called Zelle. I sent the money to him and then sent him a photo of the money delivered from the app. He then sent me a contract to sign, which I did and sent it back to him. From there he said that we would get a phone call or email from the shipper to give us the tracking number for the puppy so we could track her all the way to our house. The puppy was supposed to be delivered on 11-26-2023. We got an email from the shipper stating that we owed him $1000 before he would ship the puppy to us, something about a thermal crate. He started sending videos of the puppy and said that he had her at his house until we paid the money. We sent $500 to him stating that we didn't have another $500 to send. We finally tried to send him the last $500 and my bank said that it was a scam and would not send the money to him. The shipper is Express Pet Relocation Service at ###-###-#### and his email is: [email protected] . He was sending me an email from www.//airflightvets.com . The shipper is very rude.
