Total money lost $550
Type of a scam Other
Anita contacted us that she had an Australian terrier female puppy up for adoption. We would only need to pay $550.00 for the shipping. Pay by Moneygram to Chesed Ateh in Atlanta Ga. He is the financial director for Ultra Shippers / U Ship. 2 hrs. after sending the money we received email from Ultra Shippers saying that they needed an additional $1,000.00 for a special crate and $200.00 for additional vaccines prior to shipping. After much negotiating my husband said he would pay $100.00 for the vaccines even though UShips confirmation said the puppy was good to go. We contacted the Headquarters for U Ship in Austin, Tx. who felt this was a pet scam fraud. We are now out $550.00 but also no puppy. We have contacted the Federal Trade Commission, Moneygram, and ScamPulse.com in Northwest U.S. and in Appleton, Wi.
