Description

WATCH OUT FRIENDS! I found a border collie on line from CHARIOT BORDER COLLIES in Cape Coral, Florida. The website said they are a “Certified AKC Border Collie Puppies Breeders.” (Another lie.) Note, the pictures of the puppies for sale never changes. The same puppies are always for sale. I paid ALEX BOOKER, from CHARIOT BORDER COLLIES, for the puppy, Mari, and the shipping, which was reasonable. I am not sure how much Alex fits into the scam. I paid her for a couple items that she was going to pay the shipper for and she said she did not receive the money. She supposedly took the puppy to STERLING PET SHUTTLE to be shipped to us in Colorado. There is no address on the shipper’s website though it looks very nice and professional. The shipper prefers to communicate only by text. First STERLING PET SHUTTLE wanted money for insurance ($1,800), then money for a thermo crate ($500), money a City of Denver permit ($1,500), and then money for a stamp for the crate ($200). Each one of these fees is “refundable.” “JAKE” called us many times trying to get more money out of us for more insurance ($500). We said, “Not a dime more!” One morning he called at 4 A.M. still wanting the $500 for more insurance. So now we are out a lot of money and NO puppy. I did apply for all the refunds that were promised us through Pro Purse & Pro Wallet, but that is a big joke. I applied at Pro Wallet and they put $25,000 in my account. What kind of scam is that? Nobody just gives out $25,000! I requested my refund be by Zelle or a bank cashier’s check from the shipper. “Blake” wanted to charge us a processing fee of $500 to return my refundable fees. I said just take it off what you owe me. The shipper said they can’t do that….they want another $500! Just a word of advice…DO NOT GET SUCKED IT TO THESE SCAMS!
