Type of a scam Other
I was looking for a bernese mountain dog and I found this website, I contacted this person, he send me pictures and videos of the puppy, i agreed to pay him what he asked, he sent me a contract for me to sign; I signed it, and said he was goin to send the dog to me the next day. He also sent me a tracking number of the "shipment" but the next day somedody from the shipping services (www.elitecargoshipping.com) contacted me asking for a security deposit of $1550.00 for a climate control crate, he wanted me to pay him in cash or money transfer or i would be sued for abandoning the dog. I tryed to contact the seller but he did not respond. I called the shipping company and was told that the crate wasn’t necessary, but when I called again I was told something different and kept insisting me to pay them the money. I told them that I wanted an invoice with the company name and specifics that they were really going to refund the money once the puppy was received like they said but they never got back to me anymore. The seller also used this email adress to receive the money [email protected]
