I recently had to put my beloved dog of 16 years to sleep which left me open to this scam. On January 10, 2022, I inquired about a puppy on the Debbie Hamilton Miniature Schnauzer web site and received a text from Debbie from this number: 405-362-9839. She told me "****" would be $900, and sent pictures and a video. She said the puppy price was reduced from $1550 to $900 (which includes rehoming and delivery) She offered free shipping through Delta Commercial Airlines and "****" would be accompanied by a delivery person right to my doorstep. I would be given a one year health certificate signed by a licensed veterinarian, pedigree papers, registered with AKC, sample food and toys. I sent her the $900 via *****, through **** ** *******. The account name she had me send it to was: ******** **** ****** ******************. At 10:14pm I received an email that the payment had been received, and that she would do the AKC paperwork in the morning and send me the shipping info, which I received, as well as an email from **** ******* from ******** *** *********** at 10:16am Within an hour, I received an email the puppy needed an electronic crate and insurance, and I would receive all my money back at delivery. I sent $950 via ***** to ******* ********* at *********************. An hour later, they said the puppy needed a rabies vaccine and a microchip for $1350. Again, a payment was made, this time to ******* ****** at **************************. which they insisted they did not receive, even though I sent the **** ** ******* verification. I was advised to cancel the payment and resend, but I refused. After $3200, I have no dog, and the breeder has offered no remedy, even though she said she uses this company all the time. I informed her that I would be filing fraud charges which I have with the State of Michigan Attorney General and **** ** *******.
