Scam Description
We were looking to purchase an English bulldog puppy and found their website in our google search. There was a litter of puppies available and we contacted them through their website to inquire about one of the puppies. We were asked to fill out a form to tell them more about us and make sure we were a good fit. The puppy was supposed to be shipped with a puppy nanny service for $150 which they included in our puppy price as a discount. They said they were trying to sell the litter quickly because they had a new one coming in. We then signed a purchase agreement contract and sent money through Zelle. They then asked for an additional $1000 to ship the puppy and we asked to cancel the contract. According to their terms we could go back on the contract with a 10% penalty. They didn’t respond after that.
