Found a Australian Shepherd puppy online, breeders say they were based out of Richmond, TX and they ship the puppy to your home address using their "shipper agent". Puppy was $400, plus $100 for shipping cost. The breeders instructed me that usually their costumers use the app Zelle to pay the amount and they would give me their registered email to find them on the app to pay the money and asked if we would send a screenshot of the confirmation through email to confirm payment, then they would proceed with the puppy registration for the shipping agent. The next day, I had to email the breeder because I did not hear back by the designated time they insured they'd have everything ready to ship the puppy. Soon after I sent the email, they responded less than 10 minutes saying the registration was finished and the shippers should contact me via email/phone. Soon after, the shippers sent an email with confirmation of the delivery address, as well as designed airport to have puppy shipped to and they needed an email responding that address is correct and they would proceed with shipment. I confirmed address and next email I received was saying "due to high temperatures in the aircraft, they need to upgrade the puppy crate to a Electronic Ventilation Crate that would keep the puppy cool due to the age of the puppy which would cost $1,500 and would be refunded back in full upon arrival." I immediately contacted the breeders and asked if they could tell the shippers to ship the puppy in the crate they provided and we'd just take the chance of the puppy surviving the heat because we do not have that kind of money. The breeders emailed back, saying they have used the same shipping agent for over 3 years, everyone in their area uses them, and just please pay the money and it will be fully refunded back. At this point, I knew it was a scam. I sent another email back to insure breeders I knew it was a scam, and I threatened with getting a lawyer and to submit this to small claims. I never received an email back. The breeders website is vickyausiepuppies9.net The "shipper agent" is called Domestic Pet Way DO NOT USE THESE PEOPLE! It is SCAM and they will take your money and try to get more out of you!
