 I was interested in adopting a Femail Yorkie named Tina she is 11 weeks old.  After some emailing and texting for a day I didnt hear anything for a day then got an email asking if I was still interested in the puppy, although I had already sent a text and email inquiring about her.  On the final day, i got an email with a registration code for the puppy and that the owner had to pay an additional fee of $55.00 for urgent delivery.  The Agency is TLC Pet Transport.  She stated she had to pay the $55 in advance but was happy to do it.  She stated she gave them all the details to contact me and that i would have to call 917-213-8044 for TLC and pay the delivery fee in advance.  Once i did that i would get all the details of delivery.  The deliver fee is $350.00.  I was given details of stuff in her crate adoption paperwork and food.  She wanted me to send her a picture of me and the dog when delivered.  The last sentence stated ......stay well and stay blessed.  Some of the things that stuck out to me was how busy the registration place was but she was able to get it done my registration code is A51/US/2/AAPD.  I had to pay a money gram.  I felt uncomfortable about it so i decided to look up TLC pet transport and then read 2 similar stories to mine.  I did call the 917-213-8044 and was transfered to someone right off that i couldnt understand and this confirmed to me it was in fact a scam, i was thankful i did research before providing any banking information at all.  I have emailed back this mellisa and told her how upset it is that people like her can attempt to do this to people and how they can look at themselves in the mirror.  Please Please research this before even giving any information.

My name is Gale. And I am the owner of the REAL TLC Pet Transport, Inc. We are a popular well loved Nationwide pet transporting company located ONLY in Crittenden, Kentucky. These scammers have been using my company's name to bring legitimacy to their puppy scams. This is a multi million dollare scam that has been around for at least 9 years now. Most of the people scamming you and so many others are from out of this country such as Cameroon, Africa. They are all foreigners.

I am so sorry that this has happened to you. And to me. I cannot stop them. The FBI cannot even stop them. But please report them anyway. Or repot them to the local police in the city to where you mailed them your money order or money gram. These scammers will only take cash. They will tell you that their credit card function in out of order being fixed. Lie! PLEASE, never pay cash for anything you purchase over the internet. Ever. I have a link on my home page that will direct you to the FBI. Please report your scam with all the information you have on them.

My company, TLC Pet Transport,  has been safely transporting people's beloved pets across America since it started back in July of 2001. We are a relocation service. And we move pets only by van, never by air.

In order to help people avoid this puppy scam, it states on my web site that we do not transport puppies or any animal that is purchased over the internet. I wish there was a way I could help you get your money back. And I wish there was a way that I could stop them from using my company's name. TLC is a victim the same as you. Please check out the REAL TLC Pet Transport site and our Facebook page. You will see a big difference.  Sincerely, TLC Pet Transport owner.
