That they need an addition 950 for a special crate since pup is so small. Okay weird but I sent. They said he would arrive tomorrow at 830 am. Next morning check email and had one from world pets express stating pet is held up in Laramie,WY. Needing dogs paperwork,usda papers. I needed to send 1,790. However unlike other emails this email was full of grammar errors as well as their math being wrong on the money I would be refund. And said delivery time would be 4hrs after receiving money. The boarding house they said pup would be kept in is a UK based boarding house. I’m hoping this info can help other avoid being scammed.
Same with me but my gut told me don’t do it! So glad I didn’t. Too good to be true.
Sorry you had to go thru this but thank you for sharing. I just received an email response and when I googled the email address I came up with your story.
