Type of a scam Online Purchase
Found the website while looking for adoptable dogs. I had to fill out an online application form and wait for approval to adopt one of their dogs. Once approved for a dog I was emailed information about the dog, the process, payment, and how they will send me the dog. I also received an invoice that included their cashapp information to send payment and for how much. They also sent me plenty of pictures and videos of the dog, including the bed that will be sent, toys, and the type of food the dog eats. I was then contacted by the pet transporting agency (another scam) informing me that I would need to rent a special crate from them to ensure the safety of the dog. They also sent me flight information (flight #, departure time, arrival time, layover information) and the order for the dog. I had also spoken with the agency on 3 different occasions about transporting the dog and payment. The company name was Virgin Pet Transports, and the number was 918-675-3340. I arrived to pick up the dog from the airport and hadn’t heard from either company again.
