I was trying to purchase a puppy/dog through an internet website. As a first time buyer, I was unaware of the internet scams surrounding this type of transaction. I found the website corgiawesomes.com and thought I was using a reputable dog breeder. I was contacted by 614-715-9384 a man named "Mike Henry" that claimed to be the owner of the puppies. He explained that all I had to do was go to Walmart and send a Walmart to Walmart transfer for $400.00 and he would send me a puppy the same day. After I sent the $400.00, I then received an email that said there was an additional shipping charge of no less that $890.00 for a crate. This is also a company set up to take your money. This is when I became suspicious. Unfortunately is was to late. After researching the internet further, I have learned that this same individual has scammed several, maybe hundreds, of people for fake dogs. It is possible that he has serveral websites for different types of dogs in order to steal money. Also the person who picked up the money was named Dunfield Terry, I was told by "Mike Henry" that Dunfield was his accountant and would pick up the money. DO NOT BUY PUPPIES FROM THIS WEBSITE. THIS CASE HAS ALSO BEEN REPORTED TO THE FBI. IF YOU HAVE BEEN A VICTIM PLEASE GO TO WWW.IC3.GOV. and report your case. THESE PEOPLE NEED TO BE STOPPED. MIKE HENRY CLAIMS TO BE A PASTOR AND TELL YOU THAT HE WOULD NEVER STEAL MONEY FROM YOU. HE IS A VERY SICK INDIVIDUAL.
