We were so excited to purchase a gorgeous pit for $450.00. We sent the $450.00 via Walmart. After that he said it was going to be an extra $850.00 for Puppy insurance on the flight… my husband then sent him $850.00 through Walmart… then , I got involved as they were asking for another $950.00 for “Temperature Controlled Crate” due to the “heat”…When we offered to pick up the puppy instead… they began to give us the run around and told us there was a fee to cancel the flight, we asked for flight confirmation, and they could not provide… now they are unresponsive!!

I was looking into buying a blue pitbull and they had some for sale for only $500 and that is with free shipping in the US and Canada. I thought that was a little much. My friends at work said that they thought since it cost so much for someone to send a dog on a plane that I should look into the web site because if I was only paying $500 for the dog, shipping would take up most of that or more. When I told them that I thought this was a scam and that I wanted to pick up the dog, i never received a return e-mail from them and the contact broke off completely. Now I have received an e-mail from Namecheap.com that is a confirmation that I am now registered with the helpdesk through my e-mail and they gave me a password. I never contacted the support desk at Namecheap.com. I marked it and every future message from them as spam.
