I was wanting to purchase a pure breed corgi via the internet. I came to the website Lakefield Pups Home and immediately fell in love with a corgi aka Doris and contacted more information about them. They seemed very attentive to anything I had questions on. I made a deposit of 700$ on 3/1 since I agreed to come down in April/May to pick the dog up, but I ended up in the hospital due to a brain aneurysm. After being out of the hospital I decided to go ahead and do shipped since I am unable to drive due to having an aneurysm and wanted to get it as an ESA. So I paid another 200 on 4/17. Then I realized I was scammed when reviews popped up on scam pulse website and puppy scam website.
When I paid through Zelle they gave me two different names and emails to send it to which are
Kendal Kennedy
[email protected]
and
Rich Coin

I was also scammed by lakefieldpupshome.com using the exact same email as above. I was asked to pay $500 down payment via Western Union on 02/27/20 with plans made to pick up puppy Doris on 03/06/20. Payment was made to Wanda Sylvain; address 3298 Sir Gregory Manor, Lawrenceville, GA 30044; phone number 978-381-3705; “breeders” phone number 484-604-0732. Once payment was made and we drove to Lawrenceville, Georgia the seller Wanda Sylvain (other name given for payment was Kendal K) stopped responding to emails. When contact was finally made they kept putting off the time for pick up. Please don’t do business with lakefieldpupshome.com. Is is a corgi scam site

Contacted this “breeder”, received a super generic greeting similar to other scam sites but since I wasn’t aware of how they operate I let it go. This was the initial greeting from them:

I was really excited because of how much information they were providing. Then they asked for my information and told me their method of payment was Zelle or Money Gram.
Well, they sent me a bill of sell with their information and contract etc.
I attempted to contact anyone from their testimonials and could not find a single person on social media. Then I did an image search of the pictures they send me and found the real puppy and her owners.
This is the information they provided about themselves.
