Scam Description
I was searching for a beagle puppy to adopt and found this website. Filled out their form and got an email that the puppy was still available, asked me a few questions to see if we would be a good home for the puppy. Ended up giving them our address/phone numbers and paid them through the Zelle app. We emailed back and forth and things just didn’t seem completely right to me, so I researched puppy scammers and tactics. I got an email when the puppy was supposedly about to be shipped, with a tracking number and everything. I then got another email and phone call saying they needed a special crate in order to fly that was $1350. I was positive then that I had been scammed.
