Scam Description
I was directed to their website from a Google Ad. I was skeptical at first because the puppies were well below market value for a Klee Kai puppy. They sent a “sales agreement” to me with an address that does not exist. Then they sent their Zelle information (the account was under someone else’s name) asking for payment up front. When I asked for a video they sent a video of three puppies playing and a voiceover saying my name. I asked to video chat with them and the dog and they refused, then they sent over another video claiming to be of the dog – however it was the same exact video of the first one with a DIFFERENT voiceover. They clearly just have that one video and have found pictures of puppies online. Also, when I asked for a reference they gave me one and it was completely fake, as the person said he loved the puppy he got then sent two pictures which were not the same dog! Be aware.
