 These guys claim to be selling full bred Boston Terriers. They claim to be able to ship the puppies anywhere in the US and Canada, and are the cheapest pleace to get them online. It's all a big scam to get you to send them money via western union. I expressed my concern about sending them money upfront with no guarantee of getting anything in return. Below is a copy of our text messages . Me: Also I do have a concern. Unfortunately it's the world we live in today...if I send you $ via western union, what guarantee do I have you will send the dog? Me: I would be more comfortable sending 1/2 now and once we have the shipping info sending the other 1/2 or do a COD, or something like that...

Jones: i understand that you have to be skeptical for the world today is too bad this whole thing has become so rampant so much so that it tarnishes the international business relationship of the breeders and pet owners and also goes on to tarnish the image of the entire state as a whole, and it's the same thing that i am facing now with you for you can't trust me. Jones: But i will also like to let you know that our top priority is to satisfy customers who are willing to buy and who wish to provide a good home for our puppies. This is a family business which is almost non profitable, we are breeding these breed in memory of our late Grand Father she use to love this breed of dogs so much. If we are to make profit we will sell at a higher cost like other breeders.So i am giving you my word that you will have your puppy after i have the money. After you send the money you get a bogus email from aliexpresspetservicetransport@zoho.com.

It's is a very poorly written email that says they have your puppy and are doing one last heath check before sending it off on the flight. Later you will receive another email saying there has been some sort of delay and the puppy won't be showing up till a later time. At this point your money has been withdrawn from Western Union and you are S.O.L. you've lost $680 and still have no puppy. I was one of the lucky ones and was able to recover my money because the person that was supposed to pick up the money from Western Union lost their license and I was asked to change the name on the pickup form. At that point I had had an opportunity to read the emails from the "transport" company and was able to contact Western Union and get my money back. Don't get sucked into this scam!

I TOO WAS RIPPED OFF

AUTHOR: cate swanson - (USA)

POSTED: Tuesday, November 29, 2016

our beloved boston terrier passed away 6 months ago. since we are retired and on a fixed income, we responded to an online ad offering boston terrier puppies at 50% off with free shipping. the website was listed as jacksonbostonterriers.com, however, all email correspondence was tittled jacksonbostonterriers.com  

we corresponded with the breeder jackson denke for a few weeks, and agreed to $650 purchase price with free delivery. since  we were going away, the breeder required a deposit to hold the puppy till ship date. the depoist was requested to be sent via western union.  since this was the first online purchase we did not think it strange to use western union. however,  the breeder requested that the owner of the company's name to placed on the pickup info. we thought that odd, but agreed.

upon our return home, we contacted the breeder, and established a ship date, and arranged for the balance to be sent - of course, by western union.  only this time, the secretary was to pickup at western union.  

shortly after the money was picked up, we received a formal notice from the transportation company that the puppy would arrive that very evening at approx 11:30 pm. all paperwork was in order and we would be notified when the plane landed. we were asked to vertify the delivery address. we were so excited. we had purchased all items you need for a new puppy. 

approximately an hour later, the transportation company advised us via email that regulations required a special shipping crate. we would need to send a "refundable" deposit of $895. to be refunded after delivery, and another $85 rental fee for the crate.  It would need to sent via western union to a girl's name.   i questioned why western union. i was told due to some end of year financial reason.  fortunately, i had perviously inquired the cost of shipping pets, so i know the cost was only 225-250. by this time, i reaslized someithing was seriously wrong. i googled the name of the transportation company, only to find, no such company.

i adivsed the breeder we would not pay this amount, and decided to call his bluff by saying we would pick up the puppy the following week. the breeder advised us the puppy was still at the transportation company, and we could pick it up there, but we would have to pay for a week of food and lodging.

we advised him we would pick the puppy up at his house and he should be responsible for the costs. that was the end of all communications.  

both websites were removed,but now i find there is another website advertizing puppies at 50% off with free delivery. BEWARE.
