I responded to a search for French Bulldog Puppies and agreed to purchase one, called Gravino for $650 plus air freight etc. I have copies of all of the texts and emails and found them very convicing that I was purchasing from a loving family......who did not make any profit on their breeding arrangement.
I paid $650 on Oct 20th with two payments via Metabank Visacard and Simon agreed to ship on the 8th November.
I then asked if Gravino could be shipped earlier on the 4th but Simon delayed until the 6th, which I agreed.
It was on the 3rd that I began to get suspicious when I found the website had gone down and I found links to Rip Off Report and I believed then that I had been scammed.

What possessed you to buy a dog unseen online then proceed to send money to an unknown person?? There is no dog - just a nigerian happy for free cash. If you are interested in a Bulldog there are lots and lots of rescue organizations out there who have dogs for adoption. I would say shame on you for buying instead of adopting but guess karma is karma
