I found this page on Facebook saying that they were selling puppies corgis they need a deposit of $200 and then I will pay the rest. But then the guy said that I needed 100 more because it didn’t go through so thinking that these people are honest and it was my mistake I sent 100 then I never heard from the guy and after a couple days he called again and he says oh I’m so sorry they scare me but just work with me send me 200 I said I was not gonna send him no more he said OK just send me 150 For shipping so they could ship to talk to you so when I was asking him questions about more information about who was going to deliver the dog and everything it was a scam and when I tried tracking his number his number kept saying it’s a scam number

on May 11, 2020 I came across a post on Craigslist of a French bulldog being sold, I emailed the email that was posted which was "[email protected]" asking about the price of the animal. a few minutes later I was emailed from a different email ([email protected]) giving more information about the animals along with a short story about the animals and why they were being sold. they said their son passed away and they wanted the animals to go to a loving home, she asked as couple questions which I answered and she said she was giving the dog for free and all I needed to do was pay the shipping and transportation. im located in Compton CA and she was located in Norfolk, Virginia and needed to ship the dog with a fee of $350. after a few email exchanges with personal info and details, she said she was gonna register and send the puppy the following day which she didn’t because she was "busy" and couldn’t do it until the next day (today). on May 13 I received an email and a phone call from the company AZ delivery express, the number listed above saying there was a puppy registered under my name ready for shipment pending payment, which I paid. I submitted the payment through zelle from my chase account. after a few tries they declined because the 2 previous cashiers couldn’t take payments through belle they gave me an email in the name of Shanelle ([email protected]) also a supposed cashier from the company. once the payment went through I was told to wait until the next flight for the animal to be shipped. they gave me a tracking number and a website which looked good so I kept updating the tracker and as I waited a new email came from the company asking for $550 more because the dog needed an e-crate which they said needed to be used for the animals temperature and health and couldn’t ship until payment was received, this is when I started being a bit skeptical about the whole thing. I demanded a refund and they haven’t responded ever since.

Selling a puppy and would send the puppy with a transport company. A-Z Delivery Express.
They say they have Havanese puppies for free just pay for the transport…found on Craigslist pets Monroe Mi.
The couple claim to have moved to Norfolk Virginia and cannot keep their 2 havanese pupps. pets are not allowed at their new Apartment. We emailed back and forth and. They were happy to give me The girl puppy if I paid for the shipping. They would send me a email with all the information. All sounded legit. Until I received a phone call from the company.he sounded either Indian or Arabic. He told me to read the email and he will call me back. I read it and didn’t l like sending money to an app before I receive my product in my hand. All emails looked real ama legit. I told him i would pay the amount when He delivered the puppy he said no it can’t happen this way must pay first…I said then no puppy and he hung up.
I also wrote the couple back told them I wanted the puppy but don’t like paying on an app before I have the pup and they never answered. Her name was. Cynthia Nunman.
I contacted a lady about a puppy on craigslist. The lady said she had a puppy she needed to get rid of because she had to relocate. She seemed very nice asked appropriate questions to show concern for the dogs placement and even sent pics of the dog. She then said she would ship the dog to my door and would I ne willing to pay the delivery fee. I agreed and paid the fee to a-z delivery Express. The dog was supposed to be flying from North Carolina. Someone then contacted me and said the dogs were being held in D.C. because the dogs needed to be insured. and that I would need to pay 650.00 which was 100% refundable to get the dogs from D.C. to Philadelphia. Btw I was contacted by the 323- 522-4946 number that is listed on the website. I was provided with a tracking number and an invoice and was able to look up on their official website. Thier are horrible people that prey on people vulnerability please do not get scammed by these people. If it sounds too good to be true. It is too good to be true

There was a listing online for pugs. He contacted me through email. Hey said i could purchase the dog for 200. I asked if i could pay 100 down and 100 when i recieved the pup. He said yes and i would have the puppy same day.
I paid the 100 then the shipping company said i owed them 100 or i couldnt get the dog. I was given a tracking number and he said someone needs to be there to sign for the dog. He sent me a picture of a certificate and said just put you name on it to show ownership so i typed my initials on it. The same day I called after the delivery time passed and he said oh, customs has the dog and the need 520 for insurance fees. These guys are in on it together. Its shamful. I didnt get my money back and they just laughed at me and said we will never get caught on the phone. Someone needs to do something. ??
