I found Companion Pugs Farm (https://companionpugsfarm.com) online and began communicating with the seller, Thomas Elden - (417) 847-0061, via text and email ([email protected]) regarding a 3 month old female Pug named Breena. After communicating and discussions, came to an agreement to buy Breena for $800 + $200 transportation from Beachlane Shipping Group (https://beachlaneshippinggroup.com). Thomas said I needed to pay $500 to hold and get the transportation set up, which was completed on 9/29/22 via zelle to his wife's zelle ([email protected]). I received an email from Beachlane Shipping Group that began making me wonder the validity of this as it was extremely unprofessional in its delivery and information.

After sharing my concerns with the seller Thomas, he assured me many times via text that they use this company many times and I had nothing to worry about. The total balance was sent via Zelle on 9/30/22 for $500 and was told I would have Breena at my house Saturday by 5pm (10/1/22). On 10/1/22 in the morning I received a call (supposedly) from Beachlane that my dog was in their custody, however, I needed to send an additional $1,500 that was refundable for "insurance" before they would send her, and needed to send to Zelle account [email protected], Named Lamine Diagne. I told him on the phone I was being scammed to which they immediately hungup. The phone number was 513.973.4587 (Hamilton, OH) which is same number on their website.

I tried calling Thomas Elden, seller, right after and they have never answered or responded to texts, to which I said I was reporting their scam.

I said it was the fact that my family was prepping for and excited about receiving our new family pet and wanted the money back and would move on, however, with no replies, I want to make sure this doesn't happen to additional families and children.

They are offering puppies, but you must pay a $200 Google Pay or PayPal deposit to hold them. Then you are able to look at them. We placed a listing describing our experience and were contacted by others that were scammed by them. The were advertising English Bulldogs, but other people had contacted them inquiring about other breeds they had listed.

Here was our CL ad about their scams.
