Type of a scam Online Purchase

I purchased a puppy and the seller supposedly was shipping through North Edge Pet Transfer. They contacted me via e-mail to advise me that a life insurance policy needed to be pulled out on the puppy before shipping. They wanted 995.00 to insure. That is 295.00 more than the cost of the puppy. I asked to speak to the supervisor and he stated he was the supervisor. I asked to speak with the manager he left the phone and then hung up.

The puppy never shipped and no one will speak to me.

With a similar experience as Reporter391973, we purchased a sheltie puppy from Winterfallsheltiehome.com for $950.00, supposedly from Pittsburgh PA. We live in California. The website is rather homespun but we were eventually given a name: Tonya Leshore at [email protected]. We were instructed to pay via Zelle which we now know is not fraud proof and is untraceable. Each transaction requested was to a personal gmail account. Hindsight tells us that's a red flag! Today the "shipping company" North Edge Pet Transport contacted us to confirm shipment, but of course required $750 purchase for pet life insurance to be paid via Zelle. They assured us that the funds were refundable and that the insurance is required by USDA APHIS. We researched that and it is NOT a California or USDA requirement. Again the payment was to go to a personal gmail acct via Zelle. We refused to pay any additional money and told them to provide a working phone number to an actual person. They haven't. We also told them that we would only pay more funds via traceable PayPal. Not surprisingly, no response.

This week we bought a puppy through a website breeder. Once the alleged purchase was completed (which included shipping in the price paid) we were referred to this company which would be the one to transport our pet to our city of residence.

The first notification we received by email, they were requiring us to pay $1,150 dollars to cover the costs of the Covid test and life insurance, which we paid. The next day they contact us again informing us that our pet was in the state of North Carolina and that to guarantee its delivery we would have to generate another payment of $2,175 to cover the costs of the crate and other customs papers. That's when we contacted our bank and were informed that it was cyber fraud and that they were not going to authorize another transaction to this company. In summary we lost a total of $ 2,050 between the alleged purchase and shipping.
