Found the ad for the dog on Craigslist! First off the breeders are Caucasian in the pictures and you can clearly tell that the men behind this are from the islands ( Jamaica, Bahamas,, etc). I originally chose a dog from a picture with multiple puppies and he selected a puppy I didn’t chose as the one I got.Then, I submitted a deposit for $650 and planned to fly in to get the dog. I followed up with the remaining balance of $1000 for the dog which was $1500 / $150 for shipping… the day comes for me to get the dog shipped and I’m contacted by a “ shipping carrier company” to pay extra because of the circumstances of the Truck ( Temperature, Crate, Etc).. they have an entire system in place. They will make you feel as if they care A LOT about they’re reputation. I paid money to track them down and that’s currently in the works so they will be found. The address they provided me with was fake.. I talked to the neighbors of the address who had been living there for 25 yrs and say they have NEVER seen a dog in the house. KEEP YOUR MONEY.. DONT BE LAZY TAKE THE TIME TO GO IN PERSON OR JUST WAIT! DONT PAY THROUGH CASHAPP. MAKE THEM PLAY YOUR GAME IF YOU HAVE ALREADY COMMITTED TO IT. THEY ARENT AS BULLETPROOF AS THEY THINK.. THEY ARE CALLING YOU FROM TEXTNOW APPS AND GOOGLE VOICE THINKING THEY CANT BE TRACKED.. UNTIL THEY [censored]ED WITH THE WRONG PERSON WHICH IS ME. DONT FALL FOR THE CONTRACT BS.. it’s ONLY to make you feel more secure. They are PROFESSIONAL con artist. RUN FAR FAR AWAY

I found a website on line , https://kellies-kennel.com, and found that they were selling french bulldog puppies which I was looking for. I got in contact with the folks at website and began communicating with them about purchasing one of their puppies. I made a payment of $1500 on 7/16 through Zelle. And then they asked for another $1000 on 7/22/19, and then on 7/25/19 they requested another $3500. $2500 which was paid through Zelle and $1000 paid via gift cards. Unfortunately, after all these payments, no puppy was delivered and no money was returned.

My step daughter was looking for a french bull dog puppy to purchase and found the Kellie’s Kennel website on line and began communicating with them via email. She agreed to pay them $1500 for the puppy and sent the funds through Zelle on 7/16/19. On 7/22/19 they asked for an additional $1000 and she sent it to them through Zelle. On 7/22/19 they asked for another $3,500 to fly the puppy to hear and for insurance. They told her that she would get the insurance back. She believed them and send the money again through Zelle. She went back and forth with them via phone and email and when she said she that she no longer wanted the puppy and to return her money. They then tried to get another $400 out of her to return her money. Fortunately, she didn’t fall for this last one.
