Online Pet Scam (false website, fake pet pick up address, etc.)
This person "Anthony" was going to call me the next day so I could set up an appt to come and see the puppy in person. He never called that morning so I called him at the number listed here and he did call me back. We talked for a few minutes. He said that his wife had an appt that morning so that is why he couldn't call me back right away, which sounded reasonable to me. I told him that I was interested in the puppy and that I could pick her up ("Gemma") that evening around 7pm. He said that was fine because him and his wife would be home.
He asked me if I wanted the animal microchipped and at first I said yes, but then changed my mind. I asked him how much for the cost of the puppy and he said the deposit was $500. He said that when I saw her if I changed my mind about buying her he would give me my money back. He asked me to send the deposit via Zelle and he provided me with the information and I sent the deposit.
Zelle email: [email protected]
Zelle name: Bousseye Sysavane
He called me back and asked me if I could send the rest of the money ($400 additional) since he was going to take the dog to the Vet to "finalize the papers" and he asked me for my address and email address for the paperwork.
He texted me the address where I would be able to pick up the puppy.
9417 White Hemlock Ln, Charlotte NC 28270
When I arrived at the home I noticed a "For sale" sign out front. I didn't think too much about it at first. No one answered the door when I rang to doorbell, which was odd since we had agreed on a time for me to pick up the puppy. Plus, he said that him and his wife would be home.
I called him and told him that I was at the house. He said he was at the Vet finishing things up and that he would be leaving shortly. I told him that I could meet him at the Vet, just give me the location. He said that he was leaving shortly and never gave me the Vet address (which started to raise a red flag). I started thinking that this was a scam. I went and looked in the front door window and the house didn't appear to be "lived in" but instead "staged for showings". This scammer uses houses that are vacant and for sale to set up fake pick-up points.
He even sent me a picture of "Gemma" at the Vet getting a bath. He had sent me a couple other pictures (which I found on other sites when I got home and started looking into this).
A few minutes later he called me and told me that he had to pay the Vet and that they wouldn't take cash since it was so late. By now it was 8pm. He asked me if I could send the money via Zelle to this "Vet" and that he would pay me back with the cash. I told him that I could come to the Vet and if he gave me the cash I would cover with my credit card. By now I was very suspicious. I told him to send me the information for the Zelle transfer (so I could get the information for this so-called "Vet" person. Here is the information he sent me:
Name: Kai Jett
email: [email protected]
I told him that I have it set up so that my bank will only allow me to send a max of a certain amount each day. So I couldn't send the money. He then asked me if I have Apple Pay, which I don't. I told him that I wouldn't be able to send him any more money. He was adamant about paying electronically. He said that he was going to call his son and that he was sorry for the delay. Despite calling, texting and emailing, I never heard back from him.
I did a reverse phone number lookup and it gave me an address of 2310 Oak Village Ln, Charlotte NC. When the caller ID came up for the number that he had called me from it said "Lincolnton" NC. I looked at who owned it and nothing came up. So I drove to this address. Turns out there is a 2308 and a 2312, but no 2310. I was able to talk to the people that lived at the 2308 and they said that they get people coming and asking them about the address and about a puppy and that this is a scam. They have reported this to the police and nothing has been done.
I called my bank immediately and put in a scam claim so I could get my money back.
The images on the website are stock images, so the animals listed on the site are not even real.
I hope that someone can do something about this. These people are getting away with this scam!
The 2 Owners/Managers listed in the business details on the BBB site (this "fake" business is not accredited)are:
Mr Devante L. Berganza and Mr. Anthony Khan

Daphne is the puppy I want. I figured it was a scam and have been doing my research. He told me he was not a scammer because he has a website and actual location. This is a family busy out of Charlotte. Once he told me I can pay the deposit of $450 I could take the dog home and make payments I knew this was fishy.

They are making bank but Karma has a way. Do not buy from this other site either. Fake!
BEWARE THIS WHOLE THING IS A SCAM
#4 his background is quiet when he is on the phone and if you asked to see the dog on FaceTime he gets defended ! I want you all to call any dog shelter or actual shop location it wonât be quiet cause all dogs bark ! #5 he doesnât have an actual shop so donât do business with him just spend the actual cost for the dog then risk loosing your $!
Also beware of cutesweethome.com
