I had tried purchasing a puppy from the Austin like bullies. Com website in the amount of $800. I should have done more research prior to making this purchase. I ended up selling, and then Western Union in the money however when it came time for him to ship the dog, I received a phone call from pet Airways Express wanting more money. At that point I knew it was a scam, and I also contacted local police authorities in Florida to report him. I also contacted my bank and inform them of the scan and it’s still pending review. Do not trust online or Internet puppy sales. I hope Karma comes around and gets this guy in the butt!

I found Austinlakebullies.com to purchase an american bully puppy. I sent an inquiry with my name and email and cell phone. I was told I could purchase the chosen puppy for $800 with shipping. I then received a phone call and email from a shipping company called skyline shipping logistics wanting $1150-1650 to ship the dog. I knew then it did not seem right. I contacted Austin Taylor back by text explaining I was upset. I told him I WAS NOT paying anymore money to ship. I said I was given a price with shipping. I advised I no longer wanted the dog and i wanted a refund. I then googled his email address and found it was a scam. I should have done more research!!! Austin Taylor is now texting saying he will sue me. I have reported this scam to the FBI already. I have all saved text messages and emails from Austin and the fake shipping company. I contacted my credit card company already.

We put a deposit down on a puppy w/ agreement to pay remainder when puppy arrived from austinlakebullyfarms.com. Scammer then insisted for rest of payment and when we refused scammer stopped responding. We then found another website- ullysesbullyfarms.com w/ same photos of puppies but w/ different names and sexes listed.
