Mary Megan and Thomas Morris claim to be in Richmond, Virginia. They are selling two husky puppies. One male named Cally and one female named Bella. Each $250 or both for $300. The puppies are said to be friendly, potty trained, up to date on shots and come with clothes, toys, beds, health guarantee, & health papers. The owner said she would fly the puppies to us & have them delivered to our doorstep. We paid the $300 for the adoption documents through Western Union to Thomas. They claimed to have dropped the dogs off with CargoPets Continental Service/ CargoPets Transport Service. The business was responsible for getting the dogs to the airport. CargoPets emailed us with a very unprofessional email demanding that we pay them $830 for insurance on the dogs to fly. They said to use Western Union and that we would late be 100% refunded. The email had no business links, no websites, and only one phone number that said "txt now" when called. The email was sent from [email protected]
We reported them to the police and we cannot get our $300 back. Thankfully, we didn’t send them the $830. What stopped me was how unprofessional the email was and there was one word that stood out the most "Gotten". The business used that word just like Mary did.
