Fake USHIP, Michelle B. Philips, John Atkins, Mr Jose Camero, Carl, SAMANTHA BELAIR, Sloan Shiela Scammed me for wanting to adopt a "dead grandma's" puppy Oakland, California, Atlanta, Georgia Nationwide
I was referred via friends on Facebook to a man claiming his grandmother died and he needed to find a good home for her puppy. I had been looking for a corgi for years and it seemed like the perfect opportunity.
After speaking to a man named "Karl" over the phone, he claimed to ship the dog via a currier service using a fake version of the Uship logo. After sending the initial flight payment, I was contacted by the currier service saying that, in order for the dog to get through to me, I would have to pay an additional $1200 for flying insurance after the dog had "already landed". I stupidly transfered the money to Samantha Belair in Atlanta, Georgia via MoneyGram.
I have since done some background searching and, it turns out, that they two people involved are not from Atlanta. Carl and Michelle Brooks area the two people behind the scam and they live in Oakland, CA. I have since stopped my credit card, spoken with the people at MoneyGram, and will be filing a police report today.
