Description

The person introduces herself as a Cockapoo breeder, she tells me that she delivered to the entire US, that the procedure was half of the payment, the documents were filled out for her to sign, after receiving the signed documents, she had to send the other half of the pay. The total was $980 and included shipping the puppy first class. It all happened on Monday, April 8 and she was notifying me about the puppy and that she would receive the puppy the same day (from Fort Lauderdale to Puerto Rico) and that was strange to me. In the afternoon she informs me that they will send me an email from the agency that was transporting the puppy so that I can follow the trail. I received the email from Rapid Logistics Express ([email protected]). Then she writes to me that the company required a type of kennel, which is the company's requirements, and that I promised to take care of the puppy. I received the email that did not even have a phone number, which asked me for $700 to rent a special kennel, since the weather was bad and it was a danger for the puppy, or to pay $1,200 if I ended up keeping the kennel. She also indicates that if I rent, it would be returned to me once the puppy was delivered. I complained to the owner and the result was that she asked a friend or family member for money. We started arguing and he blocked me everywhere. I tried to call the delivery company and there was no one there either. This is the page https://rapidlogisticexpress.com/ and which this person is in cahoots with. I reported to Facebook, but according to friends, they tell me that they follow the page on Facebook. I also reported to Paypal, but they closed my case because the payment was authorized, but they do not understand that it was a fraud. I told that person that she was going to report her and there she gave me another address, different from the one she had told me at the beginning. She had told me Fourt Laudale and then Jacksonville. I am from Puerto Rico, but the information you request does not give me the option to enter Puerto Rico.
