I found this Website Called Staminatoypoodles.com. I contacted the person she said her name was “Shanta William” she said she was a breeder and was located in TEXAS. I asked for pictures of the puppy they sent them. LATER ON I FOUND OUT THESE PICTURES ARE FROM GOOGLE. We came to an agreement, I paid $700.00 via ZELLE. She said the cost included the shipping as well, I signed the contract it came with my name address and everything. Then later on I asked them when was MY dog was going to get here, there was no answer from them for SEVERAL hours. I started suspecting that this was a SCAM and it WAS. I continued to send them messages asking them about the Shipping process. I got a call from a place called ‘AMERICAN SWEFT AIR WAYS’ they said in order for me to get the dog shipped to my house I had to pay $1,000 and would only get $950.00 back when I got the dog. I texted “Shanta” she said I had to pay that amount in order to receive my dog. This was never in my contract, the shipping was supposed to be free. I asked why they needed this money like what was the purpose of it, there wasn’t any REASON FOR THIS AMOUNT TO BE CHARGED. I told them I was NOT going to pay that amount, I did not have the money available and it seemed really weird. “Shanta” said she would figure something out with that company. I asked later that day again about what was going to happen and I receive a really rude answer back saying “OMG CALM DOWN WE ARE SENDING THE DOG” I wasn’t being rude, I was just asking them about MY dog. Moving on later that night I tried getting to them,no answer. So I went into there Web page, I thought since I had bought the dog they would take down his profile since I had payed for it already but NO they still had it as available. So my daughter suggested we put her number in and pretend like she was interested in that dog, we contacted them and we got an answer back. I told them I was located in TEXAS since they said they were there too, but they now told me they were located in COLORADO. They switched their location. They also changed their name they said it was ‘JAMES RUXTEN’ Now when I saw they said that,I knew I was being scammed. I asked them for pictures of the Dog they sent the exact same as the ones they sent me at the BEGINNING. I told them I wanted a Facetime call to see the DOG the said the could NOT because she had a SAMSUNG but I suggest to use another app so we can Have the video call I NEVER GOT AN ANSWER BACK AS SOON AS I SAID THAT. I TOLD THEM THEY WERE A SCAM AND THEY NEVER RESPONDED. I never recieve my DOG I HAD PAYED FOR. I have the text messeges. I contacted MY BANK and now we are starting an INVESTIGATION. WE ARE GOING TO SUE THEM.
PLEASE DO NOT BUY FROM THIS WEBSITE IT IS A SCAM
Victim Location 96819
Type of a scam Other
wanted to buy a toy poodle puppy and their website pop up an one the sites. I click on and filled out my personal information and they email me back and text me right away. They wanted the money asap, even though it was night time in Texas. I was going to send the money, but my bank put a hold on the transaction and wanted to talk to me. Then they warned me that this might be a scam. Asked to face time first, so I asked to facetime, they could not and I asked them for picture of the puppy, and they said it was too late and the puppy was in another building. So I asked them to take a picture of their business sign in front of their building and they said they did not have one. then the scammer called me, and he had an accent. I was already suspicious, but somoene tried to scam me before with that same type of accent. I would love to verify them and tell me if they are truly a scam. thanks.
