Scam!!¡ Gary French Bulldogs
Total scam! Do not buy online puppies upfront. Thankfully I only sent these [censored]-losers $300 for a deposit. Literally the same script from the first post. I should’ve read the reviews.
Below is the POS email I sent $300 to.

Garyfrenchbulldogs.com was only available by email contact. There was no address or contact telephone number listed on their website. They claim they have french bulldog puppies for sale at a steal for $600. When asked why the price was so cheap he replied "Our prices are very cheap because of the COVID-19 situation that we are currently experiencing right now , we had to reduce our prices to have faster sales". When he exchanged his Zelle account information he stated his name was Earnest Jordan, but the Zelle account was linked to a [email protected] I google image searched the pictures that he had sent me and they were linked to the AKC website. There are over 52 pages of approved AKC french bulldogs and he clearly stole the pictures from one of these breeders. When I called him out on his scam he never responded. PLEASE be aware that this could happen to anyone.

I search google for French bulldog puppies and one of the ads that first came up was Gary French Bulldogs. I clicked the link and it took me to the website where several puppies pictures and stories were posted. On the site there was no specific location information for the “kennel” and no phone number of other information provided about the supposed kennel. I sent an email to [email protected] and got a very quick response. The entire email had been copied and pasted as the formatting was incorrect and again no specific address or phone number, only several photos and a few videos with pudding towards shipping the puppy. All of the puppies were listed at $600.
