All the horror stories listed here are all too familiar. My wife and I just got scammed. Thankfully, we did not send any $ for 'deposit'. As soon as the topic about a 'deposit' came up, it raised MAJOR RED FLAGS.
The other RED FLAG was that they were using a Google Number, and never cared to give a real number.
They sent us on a wild goose chase to a stranger's home get the 'puppy'. Thankfully, the location was only 45 minutes away. Still a waste of time.
The reason I know the whole site is set up as a scam is that one of the reviews on here turns out to be the name of the individual that we were communicating with: Franklin Fletcher (Franklin F.). I will post a screenshot of the review here along with my review.
BUYER BEWARE! This entire site is a SCAM!
