There are 2 companies here to report scamming on. I was buying a puppy, completed contract, payment (WU through Walgreens) and everything from Hassan Compte. When (fake) puppy was supposed to be shipped I recieved a call and email from the (fake) airport (paramount air county) stating they will not ship the puppy until I give them $1390 for pet insurance before shipping could occur. They said the puppy will be quarantined and I will be reported for animal abuse if it’s not paid within 14 days. And how could I let that happen. At that point i was not entertaining it any longer and told the seller to refund my money or pay the (fake) pet insurance to ship. My husband and i googled the address from the contract and it turns out to be an abandoned building. This is a scam and they got me good, causing money loss and devastation to me and my family. What a shame that they pull people in like this. All seemed ligit until shipping and then you get nothing but devastation. Seller was very responsive until he realized I was on to him. Beware! What should have been the cutest valentine’s gift, turned out to be nothing but heartache.
