A man called from a Creede, CO number – (719)223-0247. He had a thick African or middle Eastern accent. He was trying to get the next “refundable” deposit of $3100 for a cite permit (after the $1300 my dad foolishly agreed to pay for the crate) which by the way, they requested us to use a one vanilla Visa gift card for that in the email. I already discovered this site and learned it was a scam when he called (and thankfully before my dad paid anymore money), so I messed with him, said I sent the money, and asked a lot of questions to keep him on the line, but also to catch him in his lies. I think he finally realized I was on to him, so he made one last attempt, and threatened that if we don’t pay the cite permit, we’d get fined for pet abandonment. I never said I knew he was a fraud, but my probing questions and responses made it clear I was on to him. So he just hung up. Also worth noting, they said to use zelle for payment, and my dad tried for 3 hours to get this $1300 out, but only succeeded in sending $500, and then, again foolishly, payed the remaining $800 in those one vanilla Visa gift cards. I am convinced they “glitched” the system on purpose so that paying with gift cards was the only option. You can’t get money reimbursed or report fraud to your bank on grocery store gift cards…
I’m trying to get Google to disallow this site from showing up on their search engine. It was the first page listed when I searched puppies for sale.
