Total money lost $600
Type of a scam Online Purchase
We went on this website that offered teacup Pomeranians for sale. We chose one and began the purchase online. We conversed back and forth by email and telephone a couple times. We were to pay $600 with flight delivery included. We received photos of the puppy and a contract was sent via email. We were told to use a money service and send a photo shot of the payment and then flight info would be set up. We used Google Pay and sent the screen shot to the email [email protected] The next day we received the flight information. The seller said he was told that we needed to rent an air regulated shipping crate that would be refundable and the shipping co, Pet Safe Delivery would contact us. I received a call from them 281-766-3945 saying we needed to pay 800.00 and would get a refund when we picked up the puppy at the airport. They said to use a payment service like Google Pay and send a screen shot to [email protected] We knew at this point we were not getting a puppy and this was a scam. We lost $600. Both men I talked to on the phone, the seller and the shipper did not speak very good English and sounded to be of Asian decent.
