Maltese Great Breeders

Victim Location 02132

Total money lost $700

Type of a scam Online Purchase

I am a victim of online fraud. I have a contract with Maltese Great Breeders "located" at 1112 Whitehall Dr, Harrisburg PA, wherein I tell them the dog I want to purchase and they were very responsive up until they took my money, $700.00. Every dialog with them over the phone was one excuse after another as to why the dog was taking too long to get to me. It was an excuse after excuse. It was absolutely ridiculous. After some online digging, which I confess I should have done before,I found warnings and clearly I was dealing with criminals. I also found another victim of their fraudulent website- I found her through Venmo which is how I also paid for the puppy Her name is Ann Kentner (c: 567-356-7193) from Ohio. The moment I have asked for my money in return there is only radio silence. I filed a report with the police: West Roxbury Boston(MA) Police report#: I202013209. I am a hard working individual and i just wanted to give a dog a home. Please stop them from robbing people and shut them down.
