Scam Description
I searched for teacup chihuahuas and this was one of the sites that came up. You fill out a form for them to contact you. Immediately i received a text informing me that an email was sent with more information on the puppy and the procedure. They asked for $500 for the puppy with $100 for shipping with a long speal on the process of delivering the puppy and personal information they needed from me and payment.
They didn’t list a phone number or address. I emailed asking for a physical address. They finally gave a location so i emailed back saying id like to proceed. That was mid day Friday. Didnt receive a reply over the weekend so i texted back Monday morning asking what i needed to do to proceed. They texted later that evening and they just copied and pasted the same answer down to the incorrect capitalization that i had received in the email. I asked for their name and if this was a good phone to call and wanted to know more about the process of the delivery. They mentioned in their long speal that once they have my name. Address and phone number that they will get a tracking number and to pay them then. After the puppy was to be flown in to my nearest airport that someone from the agency would pick the dog up and transport to my doorstep. I felt that was suspicious because im hours away from any airports. Needless to say any responses ceased after me texting and asking those questions so i went online to research if i can find out if a business is legit. I ended up here and sure enough another scam complaint was made against this company.
