I was looking to purchase a boxer from a breeder. I did an online search and anypets.com (boxerpuppiesforsale.com) kept coming up. I read through their site and sent them an email to inquire about their puppies. A couple of days later one of their sales people called me, asked me a number of questions about family members and such then together we found a picture of a beautifull puppy.
I proceeded to go through the purchasing process and was promised her delivery would be in about 2 weeks. I received a couple additional calls from their team regarding the "Lifetime Warranty", how to care for her when she first arrives and what items to purchase and have with me ect..
I hadn't heard from them for over a week and she was expected in 2 days. I didn't have a flight number or arrival time so I tried to call them. The phone just rang, no voicemail or answering machine, nothing. I emailed numerous times and continued to call, still nothing.
Last evening I received a call from a guy who said he was a former employee helping out customers for free because he cares so much. This guy called to tell me he hadn't been paid in weeks and they put the company in receivership. He instructed me to call my credit card company for a refund, and in the meantime if I still want the puppy I could pay for her again. (Fool me once...)
Summary, I got suckered out of $1,400.00 and the caring ex-employee wants me to pay again because he cares so much.
I live in a different state and need to know if the credit card company will take care of the fraud issues or will I need to contact Attorney General or another agency in FL on my own?
