Type of a scam Online Purchase
I went on the www.puppies-spot.com and was looking for a puppy. The chat function came on and I was chatting with an agent. The price for the puppy was $499 for one puppy and $799 for two. The price was a delivered price that came with an airline approved crate. Once I sent the funds, I received an invoice from American Air Carriers for $1,800 to $2,500 for a crate rental. They said because the puppy was so young they had to use a special crate and that it was refundable once the puppy arrived at my house. I send the first $1,800 and then they told me that I need to send another $1,800 for the second dog. At this point I didn’t have any money to send and I told them I wanted a refund for the crate rental charges because I didn’t use the crate and they still had it. They stopped answering my phone calls and emails at that point.
I then asked puppies-spot for a refund of the $799 and they said it is not refundable because I didn’t fulfill my contract as stated in their terms and conditions. Nothing in the terms or conditions says I would need a special crate. This is a SCAM.
