Total money lost $2,375
Type of a scam Online Purchase
I was looking into purchasing a Pomeranian puppy from this "breeder" but everything happened to be a scam. I have email chains of them telling me elaborate lies to get me to send them more money and even signed documents. I sent $2,375 to them on two separate occasions and have email chains confirming everything. First $1,000 was sent via Zelle to Chris Smith ([email protected]) for the puppy and $1,375 was sent to Eliezer Alvaro via Zelle [email protected]) for shipping emergencies. You can definitely tell that this is an elaborate scheme from the website and the types of documents they provided. I was told that I am unable to get refund from Zelle because this was an authorized payment. I would like to know if there are any ways to get this money back as well as to shut these scammers down for good. They are playing with people’s love of animals to scam them. I am not the only person who fell for this scheme. Please see this website for other testimonies. https://www.scampulse.com/poms-ranch-reviews#i16005065
I have all email chains, screenshot of zelle payments, adoption contract (attached) and them falsifying to be from the bureau of animal control. Please help me stop them! I can be reached at [email protected] to provide more information. Thank you
