Scam Description
I was looking for a miniature Pinscher puppy. They contacted me pretty quickly and we talked back and forth because I wanted to be sure. They have a website that looks professional aliceminpinshome@gmail.com and they continued to text and email with me. Then after I paid they sent me the link and tracking number for the puppy. Then a bit later after I get the message I receive a phone call from a man with a very heavy accent claiming that he is from the delivery service statepetsdelivery.com and he tells me I need to check my emails. So I check and it says I need to purchase a better crate for an additional $1000. That’s when I realized I was scammed.
