I searched for Teacup Yorkies on Google & Yorkie Kingdom pops up. I go check it out & Teacup Yorkies for only $500 including shipping seemed too good to be true, but I regretfully went ahead with contacting the “kingdom”. After finally reaching someone named Gabriel Robertson from Paramus, NJ I was told that I needed to send $250 through Western Union on Thursday May 10th, I sent the money & was then told that I needed to send the other $250 once I got the puppy & the flight for the puppy would be made the next morning (May 11th). I received messages from Gabriel on May 11th at 9:19AM saying he was on his way to the agency to get the dog ready to be delivered. At 11:30AM I was sent a “confirmation number” to track the puppy through the agency that would be delivering the puppy to my house. I go to check the website (https://www.virginworldpetrelocation.com/) it had all of my information & a schedule for the puppy’s arrival. The flight was set to take off at 1:20pm at 11:57am Gabriel texts me & said “I just check your delivery it on hold can you check it online”, so I go check & all of a sudden the “agency” wants me to pay $650 for insurance inorder for the puppy to fly, but it was 100% refundable once rge puppy was delivered to you. Again I asked my grandmother to go to Walmart which is where they insist the payment must be made & she paid the $650. At 1:14pm I told Gabriel I had a PIN number for the transaction he told me to send it to the agency, but i didn’t see how, so he said he would do it. At 1:35pm i asked Gabriel was he sure we would get our money back. His response was “sure”. At 1:38pm he said I had nothing to worry about & he would text me with new flight information for the puppy. At 2:51pm I texted Gabriel & asked him did he have an update he said “the puppy took off already”. At 5:44pm Gabriel texts and says “Our cage was rejected at transit” I go to the agency site again & they want me to purchase a $450 “AC crate”. Now altogether I’ve lost out on $900 & still have no puppy.
