Type of a scam Online Purchase
My mom gave me some exciting news about a new edition to the family this past Sunday(1/21/18). She has just purchased a puppy from someone she met from a member of a English bulldogs Facebook page. They both exchanged messages on Facebook to finalize the purchase of a English Bulldog. Everything was going ok until the other party was having issues shipping the dog on account of the price. My mom refused to give anymore money than was given at first. The other party agreed to pay for full shipping. Then this company "Express Delivery Mail Service" Apparently was in contact with my mom explaining now there was to be some type of insurance for shipping. EDMS requested my mom pay $1,500 insurance for shipping now that the dog was in Mississippi. I personally did some investigation of my own and found out this site was very similar to this other mailing service website www.larsonexpress.com I don’t know all the details into the agreement purchase or even how much was paid but I do know it was a lot of money. I’m very sad to see my mom get into a situation like this. Someone is taking advantage of honest working people in a very detailed fashion and its very scary. I’m writing this complaint in hopes these people can be stopped or this site "Express Delivery Mail Service" can be exposed. I have screenshots of messages requesting more money for the dog and wouldn’t allow for someone to pick him up from the mailing service but I’m having trouble uploading to this complaint.
