Scam Description
My Wife found pictures of several great Danes online where there was a feature to reserve a puppy or apparently multiple for $400 each.
She was shortly contacted via text message, we have saved the text conversation and the phone number they came from, and said they would reserve them until Friday, which has not actually happened yet when my wife and I would pay the full amount for both, totaling in no less than $1700, they were advertising great Dane puppies for $600 each, that were AKC, certified, chipped, And could ship them?.. I started digging around, doing a lot of research on YouTube online, and now found confirmation on the Better Business Bureau, the phone number they called from was 443-434-9099.. My Wife says they have an unfamiliar accent when the man spoke on the phone if that helps.. I hope they’re caught thanks to everyone else who helped my wife and I not throw away $1700 and I hope this never happens to anyone else.
