I was looking for a Dachshund puppy and came across there webiste. I reached out to them via email and got a quick response from Caroline. She told me that she would be willing to have phone conversations and sent me many pictures of the puppy. She is supposedly is out of Trenton NJ and said she would ship the puppy to me to Miami for 650.00. Went over flight information and the whole process. Once she received the money she continued communication and told me he would be shipped today at 6AM we already were getting very suspicions and started looking further into them. Caroline said she needed an additional 450.00 to ship him completely with a company they claim to use which is ALSO fake the number the people that work there everything. We told her no and that we were aware she was scamming us and that we would be reporting her to the authorities and calling our bank. NO more responding came from her email and phone number. We dug deeper and searched for the pictures that were used and were able to link them to actual dog breeders I contact them and let know know someone is using there pictures to scam people they were already well aware of this situation and have opened investigations for themselves. They need to be stopped they could have take 1000 from me verses the 650 i already paid them. they have multiple websites with different names and same puppy pictures. There carrier website is also fake, fake number fake everything you cant even search around in the website like you would normally do because it says error

Glamorous Dachshunds offers dachshund puppies for sale. I contacted the seller about one of these puppies after finding the website. I worked with the seller to submit the $650.00 payment for the chosen animal. 1 day later, the seller contacts me to let me know there is an additional amount of $450.00 needed to insure the pet, which is refundable. Once paid, the seller let me know the dog shipped. However, the seller would not provide any shipping information. The next day I was asked to provide $550.00 for the rental of a thermal crate (although the dog was already shipped and should have been received!). At this point, the continual requests for additional $ and a failure for the seller to provide shipping details revealed this was all just a scam. One week later, the seller still has the same animals listed for sale on his website.

When I contacted the seller for a refund, I was denied. Therefore, I opened up a dispute through my bank in an attempt to recover the stolen funds.

The seller has since stopped responding to any attempt to communicate.
