Too Cute To Be True

I contacted by using the link on their website with interest in a particularly cute mini schnauzer, named Ollie. The pictures appear to be in a clean well appointed home. I live in Pittsburgh, and there is a Greenville Pa about 80 miles North and therefore I contacted them
They replied back that Ollie was an older dog and they were expecting more puppies in a few weeks, so they were willing to drop his price to 400 plus shipping of 200. When I responded back that I will pick him up instead, I got an email back simply asking me if I was still interested or not. When I asked if they saw my email that I would pick him up, they then said they are in Greenville Colorado which is not what the website said. Which of course when I looked on google no such town exists in Colorado outside of Denver. At this point I smelled a scam and quit communicating. They sent me two " canned" emails asking me if I was still interested, but all I could say was yes or no, they prevented me from writing anything in the email. I responded no and the communications stopped. I did not lose any money, but want everyone to know they are shady. The old adage is true..." if it looks too good to be true, it probably is!"

Type of a scam Online Purchase

Online the Greenville Mini Schnauzers advertise in a very complete way about their affordable pure breed 10-week old puppies that are for sale at a piece of $700. per puppy. They show a picture of who I thought was the breeder and the breeders 5 year old son and only pictures of the puppies and claim they are usually quite busy and therefore will only contact you by phone if it's absolutely necessary and at the time of a deposit on a puppy. Despite they say they will talk to you by phone they never supplied me with there phone number and never called me even though every time I emailed them I provided them with my phone number and I did ask them to call me at least three times. They never answered direct questions which I asked about the puppy I was interested in and they claimed to have airline shipping arrangements for the puppies if you needed that service! I did need that service I don't live in Pittsburgh, PA which is where they live! I would have needed to drive 6.5 hours to get to their location and btw they never gave me their address! I fell into a trap of giving them a deposit of $300. through Zelle at their request just to hold the puppy for me until I was ready to have him shipped to me! The shipping cost was $200. more than just the price of the puppy! After reading about puppy scams through the ScamPulse.com I was given some suggestions on how I should ask for facetime or live video chats with correspondence to the breeder and to see the puppy...but once again no acknowledgement of my request was given to me on this!

Greenville Mini Scnauzers accepts Zelle, Amex gift card and Cashapp only for payment. I used Zelle.

Lawrence Drumdoole seemed to be the name of the breeder and the payment of Zelle went to [email protected]!

They did use a typewritten puppy deposit contract which was signed by my sister and it was her Zelle payment(my sister was gifting the puppy to me). It was 25 days from my first to my last email to them, when I realized that I would never see that puppy in person and never own him! In their last contact through email to me they said that they received my deposit and acknowledged it. I haven't heard from them since!

I want to also state that the $700.includeded that they claimed to worm the puppies, give the first vaccines, removed dew claws and cropped the tails.
