Description

I saw a yorkie dog available on a Yorkie Rescues site on Facebook. I contacted the email address to get more information on the dog and "rehoming fee". I sent $100 via PayPal as a deposit to hold the dog. They then wanted $150 to ship the dog via airline. Instead, my husband made arrangements to meet them at the Orlando Airport to pay the balance and pick up the dog. He bought his ticket, then had to pay additional to change it to accommodate them. They never showed up with the dog or accepted phone calls from myself or my husband. They didn't have my son's phone number so we had him try to call. That call went through. He did not talk to them. The next day after my husband got home(May15), they said they had been in an accident. I asked for my deposit back. No answer. Yesterday, I msg them on Facebook again and asked them to deliver my dog or return my deposit. They asked me to call, which I did. They had another dog they thought i might prefer. I asked for a video of both dogs so I could compare them. He agreed, then later sent me a video of the second dog and said the obe I put my deposit on was already adopted out. In this call, he said we needed to send an additional $127 to get the second dog spayed before we can pick her up. He ( Luis Evangelista) asked if i wanted a picture of his license. I said yes, AND the address of the rescue shelter. He sent me a picture of his driver's license and no address. He said, "You have my address", which is his home address. I said we wanted to meet at the shelter, he said no, at my house. "It's easier for the dog." After refusing to give me a shelter address, and NOT a picture of his shelter license, I checked to see if the BBB had received any complaints about them. They had.
