Type of a scam Online Purchase
I was searching for a Pomeranian puppy. Saw a beautiful 9 week old that priced at 1,999.00 and was running a promo for 499.00 with deliver. I paid for the purchase with zelle to a Karen Smith . The carrier calls me from the airport to ship the puppy and needed $1,000.00 refundable to special ship the puppy in a thermo carrier because of the heated weather. Right then I knew I had been scammed. Please be aware and research these sites before purchasing. My wife is very heart broken over this. She was so looking forward to receiving this beautiful pup in a day or two. Now we will search with GREAT CAUTION!!!

I was searching online to purchase a puppy and came across https://premier-pups.com/. I initiated contact with the site on May 30. The next day I received an email and phone call from them. After discussing, I decided to purchase two of the puppies for the price of $799 via Zelle. They indicated they were making shipping arrangements, but that given the time on Friday afternoon, it may not be until Monday. I followed up with them on Monday, June 3. I was told that shipping arrangements had been made and soon after received an email from what appeared to be the shipping company, *** *** ***. The shipping company said they needed an additional $950 even though shipping was included in my purchase price. This immediately concerned me, so I contacted the seller and also began searching online. Unfortunately, I learned that this whole situation was a scam and that a similar site, https://jovypuppies.com/, also uses this same scam. I informed the purchaser that I needed to cancel the order and requested my 100% guaranteed refund. After that request, I have not been able to reach the seller. I sent a funds request by Zelle, but that too has gone unanswered. I filed a complaint/dispute with my bank. That information includes the name of the payment recipient, Jacob Roede, and the banking institution where he accepted the Zelle payment, Bank of America. The payment ID is ***. The phone number I spoke to the seller on is 540.835.0598. The email address used for email communication with the seller is [email protected] The email used for the Zelle payment is [email protected] My order number was 898-989
