Total money lost $500
Type of a scam Counterfeit Product
I agreed to purchase an dog online from the following website: http://www.french-englishbulldogs.com/. I sent an
email to their contract form and a response was sent from [email protected] After exchanging details
related to the dog, an agreed price was determined. [email protected] setup shipping arrangement with http://alliancestransitexpress.com/track-yourshipment/. The money was to be wired to this company to arrange shipping of the animal. I received an email with a tracking number AWB-1000058. I completed a MoneyGram wire transfer (note I have already reported fraud with MoneyGram)with Reference number 96100305. I was assured by [email protected] that the dog was placed on the flight and headed to my location. At 8:05PM I received an email and phone call from Alliances Transit Express noting the animal was stuck in
Charlotte, SC and an additional 1500 was needed. According to the email, the pet could not be sent as SC needed insurance and city permit in order to complete the transit of the pet. After this email, I was alarmed this was a scam. I call [email protected] (410-914-8160) to discuss this issue. I was told that the 1500 would be returned upon the arrival of the pet. I explained this was not agreed upon and that I request a refund on 500 already wired. After a few attempts to convince me, I was offered a reduce rate of 800 to be wired. Again I refused and requested a refund. I have not received a response from [email protected] as of this morning.
