 so yeah, scammed
i found a few adds on 'pennysaver.com' for people selling and or adopting yorkies and i'v had my heart set on one forever!
so I'v found this woman who tells me ' i just want them to go to a good loving home, so for the cost of shipping her to you, she's yours' * was giving a story about new work transfer and not being able to keep her two yorkies* - so i work it all out with her. decide on a price and send a money gram- my first mistake apparently- i ALWAYS USE PAYPAL but she would not budge on the money gram thing. so here i am thinking im going to get a puppy to love and that it's all paid for a settled thinking now i just have to wait for an email and a knock on my door.
well, i check my email :'( i get this email claiming that the crate my puppy was going to be shipped in wasn't up to the airports standers and that i needed to rent one of there's before they would ship my puppy. - so second mistake i talk to her and tell her i can't afford their ridiculous charge for the crate . she agrees to pay half since it's 'refundable' * like a fool that im usually not :/ i send her another payment. anything for my puppy i guess.
well she than puts the puppy on the plan - or at least i think so- so again im excited its all worked out and puppy will be home in a matter of a few hours with a small deture due to delayed flight with the whole crate mess.
untill i get an email from the second airport claiming she has to be quarantined because of shots and whatnot- even though i was told she was up to date on all shots and that records were being sent with her!
so now they are holding my puppy at the airport under another bogus fee i have to pay or they wont send my puppy and i'll have to pay anyway! they say they will keep her 13 months than charge me for her care anyway! they want $2800 as a querntine fee! like anyone has that just ling around to throw at them!!!!!- again the seller offers to help but after hiding all these fees from me when she should have known about them if she's done it before, she's not getting another penny from me!
so yeah, i may or may not actually have a puppy waiting for me sitting in a crate at an airport wondering why she's not home yet and i may have just given some b**ch about $400 that im never getting back that right now I can't afford to "just be out' :/
so yeah. i have no idea what to do now :/ all i wanted to do was open my home to my dream dog, and again im reminded why dogs are far more trustworthy than most humans :/
cuz either im being scammed and there isn't really a dog or there is a dog and they are suffering because this person would rather scam me than do whats best for this dog :/ |
