BEWARE OF POODLE PUPPY SCAM
I found the advertisement on adpost and decided to contact the owner of the pups through this email that 'she' apparently put it there. Email : [email protected]
Awhile later, I got a reply from a different address. This time : [email protected] & this is what I received. They mentioned that they are in Bangkok, Thailand & they does not have enough time to take care of the pups and that their new house does not have enough playing space. They said to pay a fee of $300 for each pup for the shipment and that I will be paying directly to the shipping company. They also sent me pictures of both the pups which I requested. I run a check on both the email used in our conversation and these popped up which made me suspicious.
Didn't they said that they are in Bangkok, Thailand? The facebook links show that they are selling Macaws in Texas. So I decided to email the owner and ask which shipment company they are planning to use to ship the pups to me, and they gave me this link. http://animaltravel.com/, after going to the website I realized that the company only ship within Canada & out of Canada and emailed the owner right away and the conversation is as following. I also emailed Animal Travel to check if they had a branch in Thailand which the owner mentioned that he 'used' it once and I got this reply. .
I am glad that I checked with the shipment company and prevented myself from being scam by them. Do be careful when adopting puppies online, always request to view the puppies first before paying for them.
