Total money lost $450
Type of a scam Online Purchase
It is a website claiming to sell pitbull puppies, with free shipping in the U.S. and Canada, for $450. They require you to pay through western union, and claim to ship the next day. The next morning, you get an email from another company (paramount logistics) giving you a tracking number for the puppy. You then receive an email saying that the puppy was onboard getting ready to ship, but they noticed it was missing a pet insurance and ownership certification, and that you must pay another $1,000 (through western union) in order for them to ship the dog. They claimed this money will be refunded by cash or cheque when the puppy is delivered. I told them I worked for the airline and could fly there for free, and that since the dog was small enough to fit under the seat in front of me, I could carry him on for no charge. I then asked where I could meet to pick up my dog, and was never given a response.
