Description

The shipper (scammer) sent an email telling us that the puppy would be shipped the following day. He said that we needed to pay an additional $1000 to have the puppy shipped and that that was for the thermal crate. We asked what the money was for and he kept saying that is was for Insurance and that $950 would be refunded to us and that $50 was a non refundable fee. We texted the breeder (also a scammer) back to ask him about this. He said that he would help us out. Then we got another email from the shipper (scammer) saying that the breeder's (also a scammer) money didn't go through and we needed to pay it. The breeder (also a scammer) gave us a story about he had spent his limit on Zelle for the week and he was driving to Texas to help someone because a death in the family. When we tried to send the final payment to the shipper (scammer) , our bank put the payment on hold because of probability of a scam and we were told that they would call us once there investigation was complete. They told us when they called that this was a scam and we could not send anything else. We also reported the breeder (scam ID # 778334).
