Total money lost $750
Type of a scam Online Purchase
I purchased a puppy and shipping from Cityteacups. On the morning of the day the dog was to ship I received a text from travelfrienly.com ( same owner I later discovered) asking for an additional 1200 dollars for shipping. When I refused they said the puppy would be abandoned in the airport as I was the listed owner ( I wasn’t) I contacted the puppy seller who offered to pay 500 dollars. The representative the emailed me a screen shot of the 500 dollars and asked for the rest when I refused they began to threaten about what would happen to the dog. When I contacted the owner of the puppy he emailed and said he would return my money he has since disconnected his phone and turned off the live chat on the website. I have since discovered another person scammed by this company. Apparently they just set up the websites 10 days ago. I have made a complaint to the website hosting company NameCheap.com as well. I am hoping to recover my 750 dollars.
