Description

George Rodriguez 2713 NW 168th St Edmond, OK (580) 215-1162 has a website called Newdawnstaffordshire.com and he sold me a puppy for a total cost of $1000, which he had us send to his daughter's Chime account, he stated he would use a shipping company whom would contact me for shipping arrival time and such. Century Shippers sent me an email from [email protected] that stated I would need to either purchase or rent a different crate then the one the breeder sent him in due to the crate needing to be temperature controlled I chose the cheapest rental which was $990 which he had me also send to his Chime account, after payment was made he then stated through email and text messages from (719) 512-0474 that they sold out of that small crate and I would need to either purchase or rent the next size up crate which would cost me another $400 or I could wait and have him shipped out the next day for arrival at my home by 1 pm. The next day around 1 pm Century shippers texted me again stating my shipping info was updated and the dog was on his way and I would be contacted again in 2 hrs when he arrived at his first stop, 3 hrs later Century shippers stated my dog was now on hold at the Des Moines International airport and that they couldn't ship him until I paid an additional $750 which I would receive 97%back upon his safe arrival. At this point I told him I knew they were a scamming ring and that I would report them to IC3. George Rodriguez had me send the $1000 to chime account $Jaleya-Moore. Century Shippers had me send payment to Chime account $yrnkeon1. Please beware these people are all over the first chime account is from Michigan and the second one was from Georgia. These scammers are a ring of people whom all work together to steal our $!! My family is so upset on our loss of this fake puppy.??
