Total money lost $750
Type of a scam Other
On Monday 8/17/2020 I made a Zelle payment for $500 [email protected]********* and $250 to
[email protected]********* via Zelle payment for a Shihtzu pup dog from their web site
[email protected]********* https://usabaseshihtzupups.com/about-us/#(401) 307-***** The payment was
for a Shihtzu pup named Moma on their website and to be shipped to our address in St Augustine. They were to
confirm on Wednesday but did not and we followed thru via email and text. On Thursday they emailed us that the
pup was registered and to be transported by Pets America relocation service. We got an email from Pets America
and confirmed the delivery information. Then about an hour later they emailed us stating the pup could not be
transported in the existing crate and needed us to pay $1800 for a special shipping crate. At this point I called this
outfit and the man stated the same as email I explain I was not paying $1800 to transport the pet here and to
return the pup to breeder and I would drive to Providence, Rhode Island to pick up. We emailed texted the breeder
and have not heard back from them. So I did some further research on this Pets America delivery and found them
to be a scam. We still have not received a text or email from breeder and it appears to be a fraudulent scam from
these folks, usabaseshihtzupups. I made a scam claim on the ZELLE service and my bank Vystar Credit Union here
in St. Augustine. I wanted to follow up with you all and see if you can stop this fraudulent business. The Zelle
payment went to [email protected]********* and [email protected] I do not have any further bank
information but Zelle does.
Thank You in advance for anything you can do to stop this fraudulent theft activity.
