U-Ship Pet Transport George Bezos Puppy transport Ripoff Burlington Vermont

We responded to an ad for a puppy at an unusually low cost. The seller claimed that his wife was a breeder and had died, so he was selling the puppies to good homes to get them out of the house. He can only text or email, not speak on the phone. He claims he works on Sunday when we wanted to visit, and only has Mondays off. Yet, he was able to go somewhere to 'transfer ownership' of the animals on Sunday and make shipping arrangements. The person operated under the name George Bezos with the email bezos444@gmail.com. Shipping was set up with a U-ship pet transportation services that happened to be in the same town where he was located. They sent an email requiring immediate payment of $500 by a method that gave me no protection. The money would be essentially gone once I sent it with no opportunity for recovery. Their web site was loaded with spelling and gramatical errors and the person that called my home barely spoke English. I see the same scam on here, with the same sob story with this shipping outfit that has been filed in the past.

They required that I leave my home immediately, go to a location they provided to purchase a 'reload pack' and give them numbers on the pack. I found the web site for the prepaid debit card they wanted to use, which had big warnings about using their service to move money in the exact way this outfit wanted.

Fortunatley, no money changed hands.
