Description

I was looking for a Connie Corso puppy and I saw some online. I was afraid of being scammed so I found a webpage for this notorious ex kennels. I kept looking and looking I contacted them through their contact on the puppy page and of course you gotta leave your phone number, so the person in charge Gabriel Thompson contacted me back and warned me about all the other scams and stuff and told me what to look for you know reassured me that you know this is what scammers do on these days and these, so I figured that since he was pointing me in the correct on what to do not to get scammed, I purchased a puppy from him so I paid through Venmo and then a little while later this airport thing contacts me and verifies you know my address and all that information and send me the picture of a puppy and a notorious ex crate and that it’s gonna be you know flown from California to here. I paid the extra 250 for the shipping on top of the 1250 I’ve already paid and then they sent me back and said well you know the kennel does not meet the requirements. We need an extra $500.93 percent of it will be returned to you so that your puppy can be flown in the correct crate You can rent or you can purchase for 1000. I thought that was odd because a place that ships puppies all over the world would know exactly what to ship them in. Needless to say I never got the puppy. I did not pay the extra money and I mean they had a great website on where the plane was. I did the research on the company and everything everything was so legit it was scary But it was scammers running in that show. I’m out of my money. I don’t have a dog. I’m unlimited income and I got screwed. I don’t wanna see anyone else get screwed. I compared the emails I compared the puppies to the kennel page and the puppy site and I compared the name to the owner and I mean everything looked so Legitimate I have copies of all my text messages and all of that I even got a copy of the papers from AKC showing my purchase agreement
