I have just nearly been scammed by an avine Lopez Using also airgate transportation. Using USA phone number. Only one guy. In a African voice answers. They want me to go to a western union an. Transfer £200. ToFor a puppy.
This all started on 4-7-14. I replied to ad for yorkie for sale. Rogan James told me that I would have to pay $300 for shipment of puppy.
He sent me pictures and I had to write a story to see if I would make a good choice for his puppy. I was told to go to Home Depot and buy Reloadit card for same day delivery. I asked Rogan James if that $300 was going to be everything because if there were more charges, I would have to opt out. He assured me that would be all.
He emailed 4-8-14 saying he had just taken puppy to air gate for delivery to me. I was told that papers had already been put in my name and ""Kelly"" was on her way to me.
Then I get an email from Air Gate saying they need $300. refundable deposit for kennel to transport in. After staying on phone with Air Gate until 12:15 am wednesdday morning arguing with them that I did not have $300 to send nor did I think it was my responsibility to pay for transport since that was not in the agreement
Thursday, Director of Air Gate called and said they were going to split the $300 with me , so I reluctantly sent the $150. They had already told me that since dog was now in my name that I was responsible and if I did not pay, they would sue me because dog was leaglly mine.
Friday morning Director calls and said if I send $150 more that I would receive $500. refund when puppy arrives for all the stress that i had been through. My dumb self went for it and got the other $150 card. i called them in authorization # and they emailed that puppy was on its way. Would be here Ffriday @5:00 pm. at 3:30 PM they emailed and told me not to call that # again, that i had been scammed.
I have all text messages, emails and receipts, but it still does not help the hurt and financial loss that I trully could not afford. I just let my heart take over.
I hope there is something that we can do to prevent anyone else from going through this pain.
I texted (224) 999-4684 after seeing the number on a site for a $300 purebred Siberian husky, and was in contact with a lady from Chicago who claimed to have two puppies for sale, and would happily ship one to me for $500. She said she was selling the puppies because her husband was a breeder, and he had passed away in a motor vehicle accident just a month before. I asked for pictures of the pup, and recieved blurry pictures, that don't even look like the same puppy. She asked me for detailed shipping information, and claimed that she would drop my puppy off at air gate delivery service in the morning, and they would be in contact with me for the payment. I googled the number, and found over 25 ads for different kinds of puppies In different states and cities. When I confronted her, she claimed to know nothing about the ads her deceased husband posted before he passed, and that she didn't like to talk about it since he only died a few months beforehand.( earlier she said it was just one month before). I confronted her about the delivery service being fake, and told he to had doubts and she became angry, and told me it was against her religion to scam people so I needed to trust her. She said the puppies were her life and that I wasn't allowed one because I was an untrusting person. She later told me I was cowardly, and I needed to agree to send the money to the shipping service. I don't know her real name, or any other numbers she/he uses, but please BEWARE! Do not fall for this scam! Rogan James is a name that was used, but I believe it is a fake.
I posted an add on Craigslist, lastnight, that I was looking for a puppy for my family. About an hour later I was emailed by a [email protected] stating that he had maltese and yorkie pups that he needed to get rid of because the new landlord would not allow him to keep the puppies. He emailed me back and wanted my phone number so he could send me a picture of the pups. I gave him my phone number. He sent me a picture of the puppy.
Then he explained to me, that he was going to have the puppy shipped to my home tomorrow, and that he would contact me once he took the puppy to the delivery service. First the delivery service was called Uship. Well, once I got up this morning, I recieved another txt from Mr. Rogan, he stated that I should be recieving and email from the company, to confirm the transportation of the puppy, and that he had dropped the puppy off. I viewed the email and it didn't look like a business email. It looked homemade.
I then read down and found that they wanted me to go buy a specific prepaid card, and put the $100 on it, then call them back with the pin# to the card, and then a spot for flight would be reserved for the puppy and shipped to my home. I began to ask questions, once I realized they wanted me to get a prepaid card. The delivery service changed to a place called: Air Gate Trasnportation Solutions. The website I was given was bogus too! I was contacted by two different phone numbers: 224-99-4684 and 218-270-8305. Please beware of this scammer!!!
