Description

My daughter inquired about a puppy that was out of state. They were offering free shipping for the next two weeks. We sent $700 via Zelle. We received an email from Pet Thrivers Logistics stating the crate was rejected for air travel and we needed to send $1,505 refundable deposit for a rental crate to transport the puppy. This is when we questioned it and sent multiple emails back to the "breeder". They said they would cover $500 if we sent in the additional $1,000.
