After,sent email again and said need to pay $1920 for USDA document fee and all money i paid was 100% refundable by deliver agent when i get puppy. That time finally relized it was scam and did kot sent last money. But all money i paid was almost $3000. They only accept western union. Zelle. Vanilla gift card. No credit card payment option. Their accent was very stong like foreigner. They kept encouraging me to pay the money to deliver the puppy like "puppy is in airport to wait for me to pay so puppy can get on the flight" it was all scam.
