Purebred Pitbull Haven

Tasha – Jul 24, 2020

My girlfriend and I contacted this breeder in the hopes of purchasing a new puppy. Upon a response from the email and text traffic it seems like it was a legit business so we continue to converse back-and-forth via email and text. Upon a response from the email and text traffic it seems like it was a legit business so we continue to converse back-and-forth via email and text. I was contacted and sent the ownership transfer paperwork and the purchase paperwork and returned it all as requested. I was then informed that my new puppy was at the shipping agency and due to be on a flight at 11:40 AM in the morning and was going to arrive at the airport of my choice at 6:30 PM the same day. Open to that point everything seem to be going OK at approximately 1 PM that day I received a phone call stating that the breeder had not provided the proper airline specific requirements for shipping a pet a new crate was going to need to be ordered this and that and that they needed $980 which 95% of that was going to be refunded so $49 of it was going to be used for transportation.

This did get my my senses up and it just didn’t seem right however I know that sometimes people do make mistakes and against my better judgment I provided the additional money And then I received a confirmation from the shipping agency with the flight number and the itinerary of our puppy. However upon arrival at the first stop I received an additional email and phone call stating that now our puppy needed vaccinations and I’ll kinds of other crap which I knew was not true and this is when I really began to investigate what the hell is really going on. However upon arrival at the first stop I received an additional email and phone call stating that now our puppy needed vaccinations and I’ll kinds of other crap which I knew was not true and this is when I really began to investigate what the hell was really going on. So much to my dismay upon investigation and talking to people at the airport this flight and this puppy never existed as far as the information that they had currently. I sent multiple emails text messages phone calls voicemails to the shipping agency and this so-called breeder with obviously no response and/or care in the world on their side. I think it’s just really sad that people will do this to other people in the hopes of them actually doing business in a very professional way and taking advantage of those types of people who are just trying to make an honest living. This kind of stuff just makes me sick and I hope that the people that were running this website and all of that are involved gets what’s coming to them because I know that if I had a chance to put my hands on people like this it wouldn’t be a pretty sight. I will not rest until the people that are running this website in this so-called business are held accountable both monetarily and legally due to the harm that they have caused unsuspecting buyers. I am willing to come together with anyone all that have been affected by this and take this to the fullest extent of the law and see that these people never do this to other people again

I paid $500 for the same puppy Tron as Private1575986139. I purchased last night for a total of $619, $500 last night and $119 due upon delivery. I received the same call from the 512 number and then an email stating new crate and insurance was due at the amount of $1069. That they didnt get. I called the number back and it goes to voicemail. I sent my money through Zelle and requested money back and threats of notifying state authorities as well as state news stations. I will be reporting them as of Monday morning. Paul Crawford was the name used for travel info and Nyema Holloway was used for the Zelle account. This is very heart breaking because this was a birthday gift to my daughter.

Paul and Hannah Crawford are the so called owners. The cashiers that take are of the money are Samson Tyler and Raymond Taylor. I had to send 300 to reserve the puppy Tron and I sent it WesternUnion. They act totally legit and sent a form for me to sign so I would send them the 2nd means of payment. Once I did that they said they would send the pitpull puppy. I asked for pictures of the puppy besides the one on the website and they sent it to me via text. It was only a side view and back view of puppy. I was sent an email stating that the puppy was not in the right crate and that I would have to purchase a new one. When I refused to pay it they stated that I was going to be Responsible for the quarantine bill due to not purchasing the crate. I told them they promised me a full refund and I want it back. During this scam I also received a number to call which is 512-253-4787 he stated he was the man at the airport. I threatened to turn them in to the authorities and he was wanting to get me off the phone once I asked for an address. He stated he would call the breeder and straighten it out. As you can tell he never did straighten it out. I had a bad feeling and my feeling was right. When you check the website it looks real but where they claim to have a Facebook website and all they don’t. What it does is loop back around to the same website you are originally on.

We were looking for another Pitbull to add to our family. My boyfriend found a site that had Pitbulls for a good price. The “company” was consistent with communication prior to any money being sent. But as I looked at the site there were a few things that concerned me which was the year they were established (1998) I felt like that was odd. Their site looked legit but my intuition was telling me something wasn’t right. Once we were instructed to send money through Western Union instead of from a credit or debit card I was still very skeptical but he really wanted the dog and was sold and convinced that everything was legit. The “owner” gave us two separate names to send $300 each through Wester Union. I instructed him to ask who these people were he was sending the money to and why two seperate amounts the owner claimed it was a third party travel agency that would assist in shipping the dog to our home. That is $600 total sent already they wait a few days and claim the dog needed to be shipped in a special crate , they had payment options ranging from $900-1500 for the crate. He talked the “owner” into paying half of the $900 which they only agreed so he would send his half of the money. Once I found this out I just knew it was a bad idea and told him not to send anymore money. Again very eager to purchase the dog he went ahead and did it anyway. They gave him flight info for the dog and a tracking number as well as a time the dog would be delivered to our home. Through all of this still no dog ! I really wish he had listened to me when I said this was a scam I feel if it were a legit business they wouldn’t hide fees from us everything would be discussed upfront and no business would instruct us to use Western Union which is known for scammers using to have people wire money. It is very unfortunate because we have lost money and cannot dispute or get it back because we sent cash.

My boyfriend and I were looking to adopt a puppy. He came across this website. Since we have a friend who works in Texas, we asked if he could pick him up on his way home from work. He flys to Michigan every 2 weeks. They said absolutely. Our friend could come look at the puppy and take him on the plane with him. We figured everything was a-ok. It wasn’t. I couldn’t wait and wanted to surprise my boyfriend. He was still out of sorts after losing out last boy of 11 1/2 years. I knew how much he wanted this puppy. So I made all arrangements with the people to have him sent to our house and delivered while I was at work. They emailed me change of ownership papers and everything. Then they kept stalling on why they hadn’t shipped our pup out yet. When they “finally” did he suddenly got ill because they didn’t ship him in the proper crate and emailed me stating that they needed an additional $800+ for a crate for him. And assured me it’d be 100% refundable. I checked the tracking number provided and it never updated. I had a gut feeling but wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt. Receiving the email about the new crate I knew they got me. My boyfriend and I are both crushed. We were so looking to have another pup to love after losing our boy a few months ago.
