Type of a scam Other
I researched Yorkies for sell and came across the website www.peacefulyorkiepups.com – email address"Peaceful Yorkiepuppies" and phone 7034199047. I was interested and they said they had one for sell for only $565. I said lets proceed. I asked for an email with requirements as well as a phone call. I felt fine with the potential transaction so I proceeded with sending $565 via western union. They insisted on sending from Walmart or cvs, but I convinced them to allow me to send via western union (online). Once they received confirmation of track#8138365821 they told me that I had to rent a special crate for transporting the puppy "Prince" to be safe due to inclement weather. That is when I got suspicious and decided not to move forward with another money transfer this time of $1800 in which they said I would be refunded 98%. I immediately text requesting a refund and they said they would not as they already paid for a plane ticket for Prince. I received another email this time from Continental "Continental Movers" . And I received a phone call from 8637034562 telling me to go to Walmart or cvs and transfer the $1800. I asked them for a main office address and phone # to main office and I no longer was getting any responses. I am hopeful that western union will help me get back some of my $565 plus their fee totaling $629. This individual told me they would take great care of Prince (transportation) and they would keep me posted every step of the way for delivery at my doorstep tomorrow 11/14. They asked if I would be home and I said, of course. I have contacted western union as well as my bank. I have text messages and call records as all email communications website addresses listed above. I lhave lost $629 as listed below, but could have lost an additional $1800 or more?
