Home Grown Puppies offers puppies for sale and say they will ship to you for free. Once day of shipment comes, you receive email requiring "refundable" insurance of $ 1,450 plus vet fees payable via Western Union or Zelle. This is all a scam to wire funds and never receive the puppy. They have a shipping website of EMS Translogistics to try to make it look official but there are several items to make you aware the entire set-up is a scam.

We found a website that looked like a small business selling puppies. We called and talked to people and texted the number as well, they answered all the questions we had and sent pictures of the puppies. While talking to them we did search the website and phone number and photos but nothing weird came up too much. They said the puppies would be shipped for us after the paper work was finished. The day the puppies were supposed to be sent to us, they said the airport needed over $1000 for insurance. We refused to send the money and they said they couldn’t send the puppies. We didn’t here from them again once we told them we know it’s a scam.
