Scam Description
I looked to purchase a poodle from a breeder. We discussed breed, price, and shipping. Signed a contract. I sent to Michelle-waites via chime credit card. Chime will not dispute my charges for my the fact of its debit card 1 and it’s unofficial bank! So i am taking this route and a police report. When shipping the puppy i thought another business associate emailed / texted harassing me for $750 more to deliver the puppy to my home! The tracking info was invalid not up to date according to usps when 911 state police had me check. I never received a dog. This “company” still runs. I need this money for my business needs back .
I have several files to upload!
