Scam Description
I saw the web site for obtaining a basset hound puppy and I went thru their brief application process and they accepted me. We mostly communicated via email. I did speak to Simon from Poland at 412-557-8770. I sent them $850 via Apple Pay to 501-319-3955. Then I got an email this morning saying I had to pay to Paw Wings Express to have the dog delivered to my home and that I had to pay for that which was $1350 via Apple Pay. I tried to call Paw Wings and I became suspicious when no one answered my call and they had no normal business message that most businesses have. I called my son and he confirmed that this was a fraud. I have all the emails we communicated with and the web site is still up.
