Scam Description
I googled English Mastiff’s looking for a breeder. I was directed to this site. It appeared legitimate and was contacted by them in regard to available puppies. They went by the names Jack and Renee Blount. They were out of state and requested payment be sent via Zelle. I had multiple text messages with them over the 24 hours questioning the site. I was sent a contract to sign. The next day I was contacted by the shipping company Eagle Shipping and Logistics Company asking for Pet Insurance payment of 1250.00 I realized that this was a scam. I was contacted by the shipping company several times. I refused to send any payment and told them such. They became angry and refused to send back my $970.00 payment. My last communication from them was “Keep on fooling your self with crazy outdated online search, while your puppy is been stock over there. You are just doing everything you can to avoid the demand fee! so funny! ” In hindsight the grammar was a bit off and not very personable. Unable to upload messages,but can supply them if needed.
