Type of a scam Online Purchase
The website Evagoldlabpup.us advertises pure bred Labrador Retriever puppies that are AKC certified. We purchased a puppy name "Brandy" after researching the website and many email conversations. The website uses all the language you would expect with a breeder and provides guarantees. Unfortunately, we fell for the request for MoneyGram payment, which should have been our red flag. The morning of our puppy’s arrival, we received a phone call from the pet delivery service along with an email. The first email contained the flight information and was followed up with a travel insurance (99% refunded) request in order to receive the puppy. The payment was required through MoneyGram again and the receiver address is Cameroon, Africa. I contacted Evagoldlab to state we would pick up the puppy directly and continue to get a work around.
