Kim tried to buy a dog and was caught in a scam.
This is Kim’s story.
I was looking for a pet for my family and searched on line for a Shiba Inu.
This website seem professional so I contacted them. A guy responded and started to email me.
We actually talked on the phone and he sent me pictures and videos of the dog. It seemed legit. He even sent me a contact on the purchase. His procedures were that I went to buy gift cards in the amount of $500 and $300.
The dog was got $600 and $200 for shipping. I had to take photo of the cards, front and back and text it to him before he shipped out the dog.
Of course I was excited to add a new member to our family because everything seemed legit. I did as he instructed and in minutes, the balance on the card vanished.
Long story short, $800 gone and I have no dog. Please put the story out there and make people aware of these scams. This person uses different sites, but same pictures of the dogs. Here is a site he used:
Sorry Kim, there are many criminals offering puppies and kittens for sale. Beware these scammers and never pay without meeting the animal first.
If you have any experiences with these scams do let me know, by email.
