Found their website online as I was searching for Pomeranian puppies. Submitted my inquiry and a gentleman by the name of James Basso emailed/texted me back. We went back and forth as far as puppy availability, sending current photos and video and free shipping that was offered, I sent my $500 payment for the puppy and was told that the shopping agency will contact me on Sunday for pick up time and location. Sunday came and no one contacted me. I emailed/texted James and he apologized and said that they don't ship to my location on Sunday's and the new shipping day will be Wednesday.
So again we wait. Mind you we have already shopped for puppy supplies and my 10 yr old daughter is anxiously awaiting her puppy. Wednesday comes and no puppy. I emailed/texted James again and he said that the shipping agency won't ship the puppy without puppy insurance. Shouldn't he have known this before hand?! He said they wanted $700 for puppy insurance upfront and it will be reimbursed with the puppy at delivery. He then told me if he could come up with the money for the puppy insurance he'll pay for it and I can money gram him the $700. I told him absolutely not and I just wanted a refund. He apologized and said I'll have my refund the next day.
The next day comes around and he said within 15 days and that he was sorry. It's been over 15 days now and I have texted and emailed him and have not gotten a response. I had a gut feeling that this might have been a scam and am now convinced it is. During my search for Pomeranian and French bulldog puppies I came across two other websites that have a similar format, selling dogs for cheap, even using the same photos as Justinpoms and offering the same free shipping b/s as well. I'm almost positive this is them working under a different site. Larrys Pomeranians and Comeback Bulldogs. Coincidence.....I think so! So unbelievably heartbreaking that these people are out there scamming families $500 at a time if not more and have made this their mission. I will only buy local or close enough to where I can drive. This scam has brought awareness to my continued puppy search. I will be reporting this to as many agencies as possible. Karma will prevail.....
