Scam Description
I found this website online and was excited to speak about getting a Boxer puppy online and they were very quick to reply about the process. They asked for the money which was $600 and then $155 for shipping. I sent the money through Zelle and they quickly sent me an itinerary for the puppy to be delivered thay night. They sent me the entire flight information and then when the puppy got to the airport, they asked for more money for the thermal crate. I sent the money and then they got to Denver and asked for more money through Zelle for a cite permit. I asked the breeder why and they said they had no money to help and I would need to cover all the costs. They said I need to pay it right away and that they said they know I have the money for it. It did not sound right so I told them I could not spend that much and they said they would reduce the fee but I still refused. They were very persistent on the money. I ended up not calling them back and never heard anything anout the cite permit. There was no actually flight for the puppy and there was never an actual puppy. I reported this to my bank and they stated this happens all the time. I hope no one every becomes a victim of this.
