I was visiting Facebook and saw the add of rescued Yorkies. I wanted to adopt a rescue Yorkie. I contacted the organization the way they requested, email. I was contacted and I asked information pertaining to a particular Yorkie named Zita. I was told she was available. The cost to adopt her would be $350. Deposit of $250 would need to be paid in order to have her neutered. I submitted the deposit of $250 via CashApp. Because I would not be able to pick her up, I live in NC, someone would deliver. He or she would schedule flight to nearest airport. I gave them nearest airport. Zita was to have neuter on Saturday 5 October 2024. I needed to pay $244.50, which I paid $245, for travel. Balance of $100 would be paid once I received Zita. On 5Oct 2024, I reached out because he or she told me they would contact once her surgery was over. Later that day, I was contacted that she had surgery. They had not retrieved funds yet from CashApp. My suspicions grew when he or she kept asking me to take a screenshot which I did. They wanted me to take a complete screenshot. More than one time. To see my activity, they wanted a complete screenshot to see my deposits and/or withdrawals. I did not send. Send money to, Zelle: Larry sims Jr. I did not have Zelle, so I was asked to use CashApp. One name they gave me to send money to on CashApp was [email protected]. When I let he or she know, they told me not that one. I hurried to get funds back on CashApp. They submitted another name on CashApp to use, After emailing back and forth for awhile, he or she asked me to text them at (423) 435-0889. At that time, I asked the name of who I was talking to. They sent back, Brian Spencer Dominic. CashApp name to send funds, $DomLaria. I asked for my refund and have not received. CashApp claims they cannot and I have to contact seller. Which I have. My mom had a stroke/dementia and was looking forward to having Zita. When someone insists on wanting more screenshots to, I believe, wanted to try and scam me for more money, is heart wrenching. I want my money back so I can find a reputable, honest rescue group to house a much needed pet. Thank U, Joan Milligan P.S. I have all emails and texts messages sent. I also located Brian Spencer in Jackson, TN. The number that I was given to text, was under his name on LinkedIn, it he has changed it. Also, this organization changes its name from time to time. Example, Zita’s picture now is u dear the organization, Adorable Yorkies for Rehoming. Tried to leave a comment that the are scammers . No way to leave a comment. One has been left but from the organization.
