To the public ,
I want share my experience with online puppy scammers who scammed myself and family.. On 07-01-20 I contacted an online puppy website in an interest to purchase a puppy. I communicated with the alleged breeder & seller through emails. He stated the total cost would be $620.00. I paid $300.00 one time and the remaining $320.00 a fews days later. Then alleged seller sends me a fake email letter stating the puppy needs a special air condition crate for an additional $820.00. I paid the $820.00 for shipping cost and the morning of the allege delivery of the puppy Maxwell of Eco Logistic Courier contacted me by phone and email and mentioned the puppy is stuck in Denver , CO and I needed to send $1225.00 to continue the puppy delivery. At that time I knew I was being scammed. In addition to paying $1440.00 I lost an additional $300.00 in purchasing pet accessories for the arrival of a puppy that never arrived. Myself and 11 year old daughter are heartbroken ,devestated and sad. I contacted law enforcement and filed a Police report.
