Description

We responded to a Facebook post of Alicia Marshall Bernedoodles looking for information about her advertised micro mini bernedoodle puppies that she had for sale. We had a long discussion about a puppy named Lola and agreed that we were interested in purchasing Lola. She insisted that we have to make a $500.00 deposit via Zelle to Brandon McDaniel who she reported as her husband whose # was 470 579-2706. The Zelle payment was made and confirmed, We initially agreed on the price of $1500 for Lola, so this was our deposit that was going to be applied to the purchase price. She then wanted us to send a Zelle payment of $400.00 to a Taurus Wynn 706 914-6735 was supposed to be a vet for vaccinations. When called there was no response and was not able to identify him. We expressed our concern because the cost if the vaccinations was included in the price and would pay our balance in full when we picked Lola up. When we agreed to proceed and set the pick up date for 3/12/25 Alicia then requested us to make a Zelle payment of $400.00 to a Lonitia Burrell for Pet supplies that were again included in the purchase price. Again we said we were very uncomfortable sending anymore money and would pay her in full when we picked her up on 3/12/25 from Alicia's home. After doing more research about her Facebook page, phone #,address and being unable to verify this information as well and that she is using another Breeders picture on her page. We decided not to follow thru with our purchase due to our concerns . We have made multiple attempts to contact her for her to send us back our $500.00 deposit. We have not heard from her and has not responded to any time we have tried to contact her. Buyer beware of Alicia Marshall Bernedoodle on Facebook! She may have many glowing reviews on Facebook but they were created by her using other Facebook members profiles. What we found out is her profile site is in Cameroon! Glad we did not send her and anyone else anymore money!
