Scam Description
We were purchasing a Dachshund puppy from this website and were supposed to be going to pick up the puppy this Saturday, April 20, 2024. The “breeder” said that a $350 deposit was required to hold the puppy. Shortly after the deposit was made the “breeder” said that the puppy has another person interested and is willing to make the whole payment of $800. After many emails of back and forth, the “breeder” said that if we made another deposit of $250 that we could still have the puppy. They were eeally pushy on receiving the full amount.
Today, (Monday, April 15, 2024), i sent an email to the “breeder” and asked if everything was still good for the pickup on Saturday, April 20, 2024. They proceeded to tell me that they require another $600.
I have now been requesting my full refund back of $600 and they are not willing to do so. We are not getting the puppy as well.
