Scam Description
I contacted them when I saw some puppies for sale online. They emailed me a contract with all the relevant information about the dog. I checked the website, I checked the name of the business and everything to make sure there were no scams pertaining to this business. After the contract was signed, I sent them $900 for the cost of the puppy & shipping, and they emailed me back saying I would receive tracking info. I then received an email from a business called Premier Pet Transportation with the tracking info for the dog. I also received an email later on in the day that said I needed to upgrade the puppy’s crate, and they tried to get another $1000 from me. At that point, I realized that I had probably been scammed, and stopped the communication.
