Ishan did they give you your frenchies after you got scammed or you cancelled it when you got to know that it’s a scam. Is this all just for money or do they actually deliver your adopted pet after trapping people in a scam?
Website was used to facilitate sales scam. This website was the courier, they tried to exhort further money from me to pay for insurance advising 95% would be returned to me on delivery in cash. Realised it was a scam then but than already lost my original input for the initial transaction. Given tracking number and link to website, then sent emails from the website to make me think it was legit. I was suspicious from the word go but watched how it played out. Seller and courier working together to make scam seem legit. Be careful people ❤️

I have to say that I don’t remember where I saw the initial ad by a home”breeder” to rehome two French bulldog puppies. Looking back, after they got me for $950, I spot all the signs now. I’m a well educated retired teacher with a master’s degree. I would have never believed I could be tricked, but it all happened very gradually, so that the signs stand out in hindsight. The woman played on my love of dogs and by saying she had too many dogs and will be kicked out of her home by her landlord. She didn’t sell the pups fast enough (was the implication), so now she just wants to find them a good home, $450 for 1 pup or $800 for two. She “grilled” me about why I wanted a dog, and asked many questions to judge my suitability. She asked for payment through Zelle. She created an official looking transfer of ownership form which had her signature. She asked how fast I could sign it and send it back. She arranged to ship the pup to me immediately via Prime Logistics Express. Shortly thereafter, the shipping company informed me via both email and phone call (a male, with a possible Nigerian accent), that due to the heat, the pup would require a temperature controlled crate for which I must give them a refundable deposit. After emotional go rounds with the breeder, and stating I didn’t have the money for the deposit, she found a way to pay all of the $1150 except for $500 from me.After scrounging up the money, they said the dog would be shipped the following morning. I was given a written copy (email)&text of the tracking number. After a few hours I received another call from the shipper to check my email. In it was another request for a similar amount of money to cover the insurance required to ship a pet from one state to another. They said the dog had made it part way but could go no farther without the “refundable” insurance coverage. At this point I knew I’d been had. I made the shipper give me a picture of the dog Which was just a picture of some French bulldog. I said show me the pet in the crate and they made up some excus about not being allowed. I said I’m being scammed and there is no more money coming. The shipper said we don’t allow that kind of talk and I was sure of the scam I played along a while longer while the breeder sent crying emojis and said she would go talk to her pastor. There’s more but in the end they never broke character and I bowed out. The shipper said I would be charged with pet abandonment. I said right, sure. There was a lot more convoluted stuff that made it believable along the way. There is the actual shipper with a website with the same phone number. Let me just say that they were very good. The breeder had some poor grammar but the shipper’s paperwork looked real. I have tons of texts, emails, I only wish I had recorded their voices. They even fulfilled my request to have the manager call me. He sounded real too.
im having the same issue right now. adopted 2 frenchies asking $1900 for a sudden insurance policy they have. so how did it go as of now?
