Type of a scam Online Purchase
I was searching for miniature schnauzer puppies on google when this website popped up and was promoted by google as an ad. I checked their website and it all looked legit. I got in contact with owner via email and he responded to all my questions and provided new pictures of the puppy and even offered for me to go to their location and visit them. We signed a purchase and sales agreement as well. I sent them the money via Walmart2Walmart and they then sent me all the shipping details and then their shipping service got in contact with me and thats when I knew for sure something was wrong. Their service asked us for $900 for a special thermal crate for the puppy and requested it to be done via Walmart2Walmart. They said the money would be refunded in cash when the puppy arrived. The service has a website and customer service number but the number on the site did not match the number on the email. Everytime you call the same person with an accent answers and one number does not work. I got back in contact with the supposed puppy owner where he would only respond via text and never would pick up his phone. The moment I said I would go to the location to pick up the puppy they completely stopped responding.
