Richies Toy Poodles

Victim Location 80526

Type of a scam Counterfeit Product

If you inquire about a puppy, they pretend to care about the life the puppy will have for about two seconds before they solicit you to have the puppy shipped to you. I live in Colorado and they claimed to be located in Colorado but then immediately wanted to ship the dog to me and they can’t spell or use English properly, so this is clearly foreigners operating what could have been a heartbreaking scam.

I found this page on Facebook for toy poodles. I had been in contact with the “breeder” many times and paid for the dog. It was to be shipped to me. The next day the carrier service (hired by the breeder) starts emailing me and telling me I need to pay $1500 for a refundable fee for an air conditioned crate. Once I started getting suspicious I started looking for pet scams on the internet and the exact email with the exact wording popped up. This is a two part scam by the “breeder” and the “carrier”.
