This is awful and they must be stopped. They send lots of pictures and videos but absolutely no personal or business information. They are in a hurry to make the next scam. Half price goldendoodle is unheard of, in fact it was 1/3. I didn’t buy it and I hope they get caught.

I found the website bummingdoodles.com and inquired about the puppy Zola. A man by the name of James Kamara got back to me and asked me several questions his e-mail address was boomingdoodles@gmail.com. He said all the right things to make me believe this 12 week old puppy was ready to be adopted. He even sent pictures.
I was to send $850 for the puppy, $320 for the flight from Miami to Minneapolis. I needed to send it via Apple Pay. Then he said I had to pay $300 more for the nanny fee. So I also sent that.
The phone number attached to the text messages was 321-754-7385
The phone number I was given to send the Apple Pay to was 336-521-2878.
A red flag that should have been raised for me, but I only had my eyes on the prize was in a text, his name was listed as James Bangura.
Once I realized I was scammed, I tried looking up some of the names from the testimonials and discovered that their is another pet website called Petsamoyed.com which is almost identical to bloomingdoodles. They also took family photos and lifted from yet another web site.
Then I was told the puppy would be flown to Minneapolis. Web site:
https://pet shipping express.com.com
National aviation and pet transportation commission vet department
With a tracking number
I received a phone call and e-mail, the crate the owner brought the puppy in was no good and I would need to rent a crate, I would be reimbursed once the puppy got to Minneapolis. Oh I’m sorry, we only have crates for first class $1850. You feel like you are over a hurdle because you are been told that pet ownership has been transferred to you and it would be puppy abandonment if I did not do this,
I was given the number to send Apple Pay 443-8474083
Call and text phone number719-581-9635
Then they come back a couple of hours later and tell me that the breeder has let the insurance lapse and I will need to purchase insurance. I am also sent a letter in the e- mail. $2100, foolishly I sent it via Apple Pay, because again this would be puppy abandonment.
Then I am told the puppy was on the plane and would fly through Nashville.
A couple of hours later, I received yet another phone call, we have never flown a puppy through Nashville and we just found out that for the puppy to get on the next airplane he will need a dog permit. I told them I just did not have that kind of money. I again sent a letter explaining it all. I am the owner of the dog and it would be puppy abandonment. I called James back. I told him I did not have that kind of money and he graciously agreed to split it with me. So I paid the money. Then the next day comes another letter, that they will have trouble getting me the money right away because the sum did not equal $10,000. So would I make up the difference and then the puppy would come. I emphatically said no. They sent me the tracking info, but when you put the tracking number in it goes nowhere.
The puppy did not come as promised and the guy said he was still discussing what to do with his manager.
