Scam Description
seller would not give me a direct number. all the puppies on this site are from different lines of sheltie puppy types. there is no way all these variations of the breed can all be from the same litter. and the site never ages with the current dates. puppies have said to be 11 weeks old in June and to this date. I was only contracted to pay $810 for the dog, once that money was paid i supposedly got a call from animal and cargo movers- 585-460-0191, which comes up as a NY number, and that due to age of the animal and the heat that i would have to send them an additional 900.00 that was said to be refundable. then once i did that they stated that the owner did not have enough insurance on the cargo and that would be an additional 500. I was trying to buy Benji.
owner of pup said to be kevin craig but that owners name does not come up under a zillow search for the property’s owner. phone 614-465-3501….but no answer or ability to leave a message.
they tried to get me to pay thru Venmo at first. they show that the dog comes with AKC papers but would not provide those until delivery from the slight supposedly using American Airlines. it started off fine and then they kept holding the puppy for ransom. it was a horrible and bitter disappointment that i do not want to happen to anyone else. the website states they have been in business for 12 years. repeated emails were full of lies and ultimatums.
