Wow! This is so amazing that I found this site. These stories are so much like mine. Found 'Kym Bowen's website, thought $700 was a good price for Murphy. Chatted with Kym and agreed to send $500 now and $200 upon "free" delivery which to my home. Later, after $500 was sent by Zelle, I was contacted by 'Alek', who identified himself as Kym's husband, that bad weather had grounded the flight and they would need $1000 more to complete the delivery and sale. I also checked the weather and not a cloud over Texas to Miami, Fl. Oh, they promised to reimburse me the rest.
It is at that point that I notified Orlando P.D., Kissimmee P.D.,., F.B.I., National Kennel Club (which they claimed membership) , Zelle (which I got no help from) and Cleveland, Tn. P.D. The Orlando P.D. did call me back and told me I was the 5th complaint on 'kymboewen' scam. I would luv to get these SOB's. Please contact me if I can help.

My wife and myself have lived with animals our hole lives. Recently we took a liking to the dog breed of Basset Hounds. We have research the breed and purchased a puppy of this breed in February of this year. We named her Bella. She is a sweet young pup that has a lot of energy. We have an older dog that tolerates her put doesn’t have the energy to play. With this we decided to buy another puppy of the same breed. We went to numerous sites and found nothing local. We expanded our search to other websites for out of state breeders. We have always searched the site for anything inconspicuous as we refuse to buy from “puppy mills” or backyard breeders.

I came across a website that had puppies for sale based out of Orlando Florida. On 05/10 of this year I contacted this website through email. ([email protected]) I have attached a copy of all of the correspondents. In summation, it was agreed upon that a puppy by the name of Murphy would be shipped to us after the accused received a payment of $500 through zelle and $250 upon delivery. The delivery of the puppy would be free of charge. The contact information for Zelle is Harrison D McBride. Payment email [email protected]. I was told after they received confirmation of the payment, they would send a copy of the contract which is also attached. This contract was signed by both parties and states the above payment arrangements.

On 05/13 of this year I was notified that the puppy had not been shipped yet and their methods of shipment were rejected. I was given a website and tracking code for me to pay for shipping. The tracking code did not work but doing research on the website came to the findings of a payment of $1000 needed to ship the puppy. I contacted the accused back stating that shipping was to be free and that I was requesting a refund. I have not received any more correspondents from the accused.

While researching other websites and the accused it became clear the both were fraud websites. The shipping website and the address on the contract were both based out of Orlando FL. The steps in this scam, is to have a patron purchase the puppy with the intent of a free delivery then, due to some abnormality, have the patron pay an outrageous shipping price from another website that is linked to the original. I believe this is what has happened to us. I have reported both sites to Zelle, as well as the FBI internet crime division.

We have since purchased a new friend for Bella named Fred. They get along great together and love to play with one another. We paid cash for Fred as we will no longer be using official websites to purchase anything in the future. It is a sad world when people feel it is better and easier to scam people out of their hard-earned money then it is to find real work.

The incident began with me looking for a basset hound to buy. I responded to a web site that offered basset puppies. There price was most attractive and the picture of a basset was just what I wanted. They had a very believable story, a good price,$700 and free shipping if I hurried. The person I chatted with told me that this basset hound, named Murphy, was the last of a litter, and they had another mother dog expecting 14 pups at the end of May and they wanted to get rid of the last litter. I had been chatting with a woman, I presumed, Kym Bowen, and we had agreed that I send $400 and the rest would be paid when the dog would be delivered to ** airport.

Later I got a call from Kym, telling me her husband said they needed more of a down payment, so I sent $500 and then $100 more.

Later that evening "Kym's" husband, who identified himself as Alek , said they needed full payment and send it by Zell to **  Oh, then he says the puppy is in middle trip and his flight because of inclement weather and he would need a $1000 more, which would be refunded when the exchange would be made. I checked flights and found no inclement weather anywhere in **. That ended our exchange, but with Kym still with my $600.

I was looking for a Basset Hound puppy and came acroos this website. After emails back and forth I told them I had to talk to someone before I purchased a puppy. I got a phone number and finally talked to someone. They were very convincing and I finally sent them $700 for a puppy. Today I received an email from the shipping company, Continental Express Shipping Prime, saying that the breeder brought the puppy in the wrong crate and I could rent a crate from them for $30 but they also needed a refundable deposit of $970 for the crate. Total needed was $1,000. I tried to call the number they had and didn't get an answer. I had many texts back and forth with the breeder (they wouldn't answer the phone) who kept assuring me the shipping company was legit. They kept trying to convince me that I should send the $1,000. I demanded my money back and was told I would have my money today. There doesn't seem to be anything legitamate about this breeder or shipping company.
