Type of a scam Online Purchase
I attempted to purchase a beagle puppy from Harold Beagles. I don’t think they sell dogs at all, I think the whole thing is a sham. I sent the agreed upon money to James through the Zelle app. After I sent the money, communication decreased significantly. I finally heard from him and got a notification that the dog had been sent on Sunday morning. We were then asked to pay a considerable amount of money to the pet transport people, with the promise that we would receive these funds back upon receipt of the dog. This was not the case, I have no dog and it has been 48 hours.
I attempted to contact Harold Beagles multiple times during this whole ordeal and was unable to speak to anyone. Do not use them!!
