Type of a scam Online Purchase
I went online and saw what “looked” like a legitimate website to purchase a dauschund. The breeder was very responsive and sounded professional and me wanting a puppy so bad I fell for it. After the transaction was made through Zelle she said it’ll take her a few hours to set up a courier service to send the puppy from New Jersey to San Antonio, TX. Then animaldeliveryexpress.com got ahold of me and said to expect my puppy last night at 7pm. After my kids and I were excited all day the puppy never came. I called their service number and left
an email with no response. Then this morning I receive an email from the Animal express service company saying they need $1000 to send the puppy in a thermal regulated crate due to the weather conditions. For one, that made no sense. The puppy would be in an airplane and a car. I knew immediately after that I was scammed. So it looks like a scammer breeder and an an animal express delivery service are working together or are the same person. Either way please don’t fall for it like I did. Express animal delivery is the delivery service and https://www.homeofdachshunds.com/ are the names. Do not trust them!
The same thing happened to me, please don’t fall for these peoples LIES. It does look very legit. After asking for a refund the person was very rude and aggressive.
