Type of a scam Online Purchase
This supposed animal transport service was going to be used to ship a puppy, from what turned out to be a sham as well. The website the puppy was advertised on is Bordercoliefarmhouse.com. The puppy was to be shipped via Global Animal Transports. The puppy was to be delivered to the nearest airport where I live at via this shipping company, then the puppy was to be taken directly to my home.A tracking number was sent via an email. When I went on it to see what the status of the shipping was, the tracking number didn’t work. I "chatted" with someone online and they said to try in 10 minutes. Then it went back online. I called the number from the website, and left a message, as nobody answered. A foreign speaking man called back. I asked him how I know the delivery service is legitimate and that the puppy is guaranteed to be shipped. He asked if I had received an email, which I did, but I told him I didn’t. He couldn’t give me any forthcoming answers. Shortly after an email was sent from the transport company saying 900.00 needed to be sent to insure the puppy but it would be refunded upon the safe arrival to me of the puppy. I knew that the puppy website was a scam by now and also the transport website.
