We were looking for a [censored]zu puppy and contacted the "breeders" at this website via email. We did call and talk with someone about the puppies who spoke broken english. We were told that the puppy we wanted was available and would be shipped to us for free and the cost for the puppy was $600. Then we received an email from the "shipping company" called Expres Shipping Prime. They wanted us to then send $900 to them to ship the puppy in a special crate. Since we live far from Florida, this seemed reasonable and we were assured that the money would be returned when the puppy came. This was all done via email address [email protected] Then we were told that we needed to send $1800 to "insure" the puppy. When we questioned this, we were told this was because of covid and we would be refunded that money as well. We were pressured by them saying the puppy would miss the flight if we didn’t pay immediately. We were then sent a bogus shipping form with a tracking number. When the puppy didn’t show up, we were then messaged for more money for a "city permit document" for pets entering our state for $3000. When we looked online, we saw another incidence of this scam that mentioned the name Carter Deantre at 4076336768 that had been part of the same scam with a different website.
