We had recently lost our Great Dane and we were searching for another one. We had been searching for a month and finally agreed on the one through Ralph Great Danes. There is only one seller that was within our state all others were at least 3 hours away. The website said everything you wanted to hear, just like the others. They asked $600 and $200 for shipping over 4 hours away. I sent the money through Western Union. They were located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. When I contacted Western Union about the pick up they told me that it was picked up in Orlando. I was sure then I was scammed. The money was sent to Samual Thompson and when they sent the contract to be signed it was Sam Raphael. Yesterday they “shipped “ the puppy, Graham through Troll Global Express. They then emailed me that they needed insurance on the puppy for $2740. By then I was very aware of the scam. When they called to retrieve that money so they could ship her I told them I knew it was a scam and told them they don’t charge that much for a human being on insurance why would I pay that on an $800 dog. They hung up. I’m down $800, no dog and no money to get another one. And a very heart broke family.
