We were looking for a puppy, a teacup Pomeranian and, we found this website that looks very legitimate we text message to the guy for a couple days and he seemed very straightforward very honest. He talked to me on the phone and you know he said he wanted to get my daughter this dog. She will be happy and he gave us his word that he wasn’t a scammer. But the guy took my money through PayPal. He took our money then two days later he said called said the dog will be here at 9:30 in the morning. So of course we couldn’t sleep that night we were so excited we woke up early were waiting out front for him and he never showed up. Then he sent me a message asking if the shipping company had contacted me yet and I said no and then he said "well they want insurance money for the dogs so they insisted on me paying another $750 for this insurance. They said that if I didn’t pay the other $750 that I was not going to get the dog. because he needs to have it to make the rest of the trip. Now they are in Denver and they said it was in Denver Colorado waiting for me to pay to them. The shipping company looks very legitimate. The only thing that after looking through it I noticed some misspelled words and on people’s descriptions in another language. It looks like a real real real real shipping company in it still surprises me that it’s not. So I told them I could not send $750. I only had 450.00 more so I gave him that on top of the original $600 I paid for the dog and then…. I never heard from them again nobody. The shipping company, that the guy and now I’m trying to get my money back now so we will see… That was our exact baby down there.
