Description
Online website selling Great Dane puppies for $900. They tell you shipping is free, however, once the puppy is ready for shipment, the shipping company reaches out stating the puppy needs a ventilated crate which can be rented for $1250. Once the puppy is ready to board the plane for final destination, the shipping company reaches out again for $1550 in temporary pet insurance, stating the puppy cannot be shipped to the final destination without it. When I asked for the flight number and details, they responded stating details would be given once payment was received. We asked if we could pick up the puppy at the airport, and they said no, the puppy had to be shipped back to the breeder. We reached out to the breeder, now knowing this was all a scam, and he responded with he was at work and couldn’t talk. No response after repeated attempts to contact.
