Type of a scam Online Purchase
Hello,
We saw the website Hush Bullies and purchased a bulldog puppy for $1900.00. Most of the conversation was through text. We signed a contract and we were told the puppy was getting shipped overnight. 2 hours before the puppy was supposed to be shipped, the shipper, united eco logistics, which the breeder picked wanted $ 2700.00 in cash for pet travel insurance. We called the breeder and supposedly he didn’t know about it can only provide $800.00 at the time so we provided another $1900.00. This was supposedly refundable on dog delivery. We sent money to the breeder by Venmo and he supposedly gave the $2700.00 to the shipper. The puppy then supposedly shipped but 2 hours before supposed delivery, the shipper told us they needed another $1400.00 for City Document for pet delivery. This too was supposed to be refundable. When we told them to subtract the from the $2700.00 cash they insisted on the $1400. cash. We tried calling back but they hung up overtime. By the way, when we checked the united eco logistics website, it was a porn site.When we called Hush Bullies again, they feigned ignorance. They eventually stopped answering the phone. We believe Hush Bullies and United Eco logistics are together. We feel really stupid that we were scammed. but they play on emotions.
Thank you.
