Total money lost $750
Type of a scam Online Purchase
I found this site on craig’s list and contacted them to purchase an English Bulldog puppy. They told me how they do it for a hobby and their price was much less than other breeders because they only charge a rehomeing fee. I paid the 600.00 fee plus an additional 150.00 fee for various services…health certificate…etc…
they told me they only use Walmart so I went to Walmart and sent the 750.00 and emailed them the reference number. they assured me I would get the puppy that evening. Well it has been 3 days now and the transportation company, Echo Logistics Group contacted me and said they have to have an addiitonal 1000.00 for transporting and I would get it back in cash when I received the puppy. I told them to contact the owner and get the money because they assured me they have done this time and time again.
I told them I would be filing a report with the BBB, FBI Internet Crime, Local Police and each company assured me the next morning they have worked out the problem and I would be getting my dog….well of course, no word, no
dog, no money….
