Here's the nitty gritty... I hope you can understand all of this.
He agreed to half now and half after.
Fri. 6th- he says he will get back to me as he makes progress.
Sat.-he writes that he can have home delivery for additional $45.00.
Mon.-He then writes that he cannot ship them because all he had enough for was the preparation for them to be shipped.
"Just to inform you that after buying the crate & processing the
paperwork,I do not have enough money to buy the flight ticket for the
weight of two puppies. If u can,pls send me the balance $305 to enable
me ship on monday,otherwise shipping will be delayed till friday when i
get my pay - unless you want me to ship one puppy now. Let me know your
position on this."
We told him that we will not send more money before we get the pups.
He then states that maybe he can get a loan and have them shipped out on Friday.
Mon.9th- All of a sudden he writes
"I just got a mail from the Canadian embassy that my visa is ready will leave on Thursday night wonder what to do now Do I post your money back as I will not be able to ship if the money is not sent by
tuesday.Pls let me know." He's offering our money back,ok
Mon. afternoon - We then told him basically yes please send our money back asap.
Wed. morning-my hubby sent this:
look I need my money back ASAP . we had a deal half to ship half after deliver
of dog . I sent you half you did not send dogs. send my money back
then we get this:

My vet will contact you.Relax. OH MY GOD!!!!!
Sun. 15th- My hubby:
CAN YOU GIVE ME THE NAME & NUMBER OF THE VET THAT WILL BE CONTACTING ME. I NEED
A TIME FRAME ON HOW LONG BEFORE I CAN GET MY MONEY BACK.
SCOTTY S.
We got back nothing.
Thurs. 19th- My hubby:
ALL I ASKED FOR IS A LITTLE INFO. IF YOU HAVE NO INTENTIONS OF SEND ME MY MONEY
BACK LET ME KNOW. It's over a month now and still NOTHING!
The money doesn't really matter anymore. I knew we would be taking a chance on this. I mean how can you go through life not being able to trust anyone. I mean we were giving him the benefit of doubt.
The money was part of our stimulus check, so we really aren't missing it since we never counted it into our finances.
Hubby suggested that we send another inqury to the post with a bogus email.
What do you think and if it does get sent to the same guy, where am I going from there?
