Scam Description
Seemed like an actual breeder, however when responding so quickly within minutes via email and lower cost of pup, and stated payment was wired money via zelle, we started to question legitimacy. They had pictures and videos of the pup that they sent and unfortunately asked questions to “verify a good home,” all of which you might expect of a good breeder. Very disappointing experience but I’m sure a common one. Did a quick search on their phone number and found that it had been reported before for puppy sale scam with similar email with same location of Tulsa, OK. They had facebook on their website for social media presence, but we could not find them (another red flag for us). They had one grammar mistake on website. They were good they know all the certifications that one would be looking for that they claimed they had. Our next step was to check AKC litter registration, until we did a search on phone number and found the previously reported scam.
