Scam Description
Email used: colossaldanes@gmail.com
Names ***** ******* ******** ********* ********** * **** ******* – Zelle Name: **** ******Y
Zelle email:********************* Location listed: Fresno, CA
Shipping: They claim to be members of IPATA,
International Pet and Animal Transportation Association
Payment: Prefer to use Zelle for payment. When asked if they would accept Cashapp, the transaction would not go through. Payment kept being returned for fraud protection.
The puppies are listed for $500. Plus I was told, “Basically shipping a puppy within the USA and Canada requires the following for a pet-safe program;
– Certified Health and immunization certificates $20
– Climate controlled pet class flight fee $120”
Bringing the total cost to $640.
