Total money lost $1,400
Type of a scam Online Purchase
I thought I was purchasing two pure-breed teacup yorkies from this website. I paid $500 per puppy plus a $200 per puppy shipping charge. I paid through Zelle which was the first mistake. They sent me a legitimate bill of sale contract. I was supposed to have the puppies shipped to me today. This morning I had the shipping company call to ask me to Zelle them $1325 for a special crate and then they would refund me 95% of the money ($1260) in cash when they delivered the puppies to me. I realized at this point they were a scam. The breeder is supposedly based out of TX. I and my two kids are extremely devastated as we were looking forward to our new family members. Please DO NOT fall for this scam. I have asked them (pleaded with them) to give me back my money, so far I haven’t heard from them. The bank cannot refund my money b/c it was a direct payment.
