Type of a scam Online Purchase
The website looks really professional.
You email them and they ask things like if we’re gonna take care of them, they want to make sure the puppies go to a good home etc.
Seems legit so far. The price is 500$ for a pup. You pay via Zelle, which I even thought had some sort of fraud protection BUT DOESN’T.
Zelle is very widely used by scammers apparently due to their non existing will to protect consumers.
So you pay. You get a fake email saying shipping is prepared – and that you need to pay even more for a "temperature regulated crate".
This was 850$, and then 350$. Luckily, I stopped here. I asked for a refund and I never heard back.
Googling the website, the email address shows that other people have been scammed by this too.
May God give these scammers an early, painful and slow death.
