I was looking for an Akita puppy through puppyfind.com and I emailed a breeder that had a puppy listed for $300. He put me in touch with a rev. Peter maxwell who had been sent to africa and needed to find a new home for his 12 week old Akita for just the cost of shipping. He was thrilled to have found a good home for his "baby" and told me to money gram the money to his shipping agent and the puppy would be sent as soon as the payment was confirmed. Then world pet delivery contacted me and said that all the papers were in order except the shipping insurance. The puppy was all set to ship but they couldnt put her on the plane till I paid $560 for pet insurance. I became skeptical. The "Rev" kept calling anxious that the puppy get shipped why was I more conserned about the money instead of concerned about the puppy. I said I needed to check it out more but my internet was down and I couldnt get online so I wanted to call the breeder I was first in touch with, could I have his number as his number was not listed online just email address. He said he only had email address also. After three hours of deliberation, I finally just sent the money. Bad idea. World pet delivery confirmed the receipt of the $560 and said she would be placed on a plane that night and I could expect her to be delivered by 8am the next morning. The next morning I checked my email and they said she had broken her crate and contacted the rev. And he paid 200 for a new one. Before they took off she broke the second wooden crate and they couldnt get hold of the rev. So they needed me to send 300 for a metal crate before they could ship her. I replyed send the puppy Ill pay for the new crate when I get her or refund my money. End of scam.
