They sent pictures of the supposed bird I was purchasing. I sent the money throygh Zelle to an
Amanda Hulet in Norfolk, VA email [email protected] and they sent me a link and
tracking number to twinkleshippers.com. The website looked legit. Only when it got late in the day I
looked for the website and found an article that the shipping site was a scam. When I text the
person this information, they did not and have not responded.

January 23 they stated "$7000 overdraft protection" and then $5000 "overdraft".
Only wanting $500 cash cards or $500 payment thru cash app. Also saying "can pay with bitcoin"
Always saying "100% refundable "
Most text messages are in a demanding, controlling tone.
Have asked for their record of my payments. Will not give.
This has caused issues with several of my accounts.

In the screenshot that is uploaded here, is when I become suspicious. I paid for a parrot and he said it can be delivered to my door. He sent me these messages that it can only be shipped if I pay insurance. I didn’t know anything about buying live animals online. This person gets easily furious when I asked for a proof of it, because they never mentioned that before. I sent the final payment and then they sent me incomplete paperwork.
I felt very uneasy about it because he never mentioned having to pay insurance so few hours later I did my research and read this article that I finally then realized I got scammed. I confronted to this scammer, and right away he/she blocked me. His CashApp name is Brian Ndansi.
On their website it says , they accept vemno, PayPal but turns out they only take CashApp. And their location on their web page says it’s in Los Angeles but their map does not match, it shows it’s in England. No real address on it and no phone number is provided. They’re definitely not located in wells, Neveda as they mentioned in the messages.
He asked us to send 1200 through Zelle $750 and $250 which we did on the 1/10/2023. He said we would receive all info on the dog when fee was paid. The next day he texted me saying the dog was just dropped off at PEM LOGISTICS. We then received a conformation from said company. Confirmation gave us a tracking number as well as a time it would arrive, 8 PM. Then we received a text saying we needed to pay $1490 for insurance and it would be refunded in cash upon delivery of the dog. We got suspicious we contacted the breeder and said he needed to pay it be ause our purchase was free shipping. He wrote back some crap about transporting animals snd covid. I researched and found nothing. My husband purchased a insurance policy and gave the number to the PEM LOGISTICS. THey told us to contact breeder. Heard nothing back. We requested our money back and once again have heard nothing. This is a well put together scam. Alot if money in that website.
[12/22, 12:23am – 2:20am] After much research on Facebook, I found an add of a German Sheppard breeder by the name of Scott Armelia who was giving 9 week old puppies for adoption, and was only requesting the money for shipping. This person made many questions to insure I was the right fit for the puppy. We ended up proceeding with the adoption process and was asked $400 dollars for shipping. After the transaction was done, this person agreed to take their puppy to the delivery agency as soon as possible.
[12/22, 7:04am – 9:40am] Early in the morning Scott Armelia started texting me to ensure I has received an email confirmation from the company Smart Shipping Agency. This email provided a tracking number and claimed that their carrier was FedEx; they were asking for a $2,400 dollar deposit in cash (fully refundable) as the cage the puppy was put into was not suitable and they would need to provide a proper one. After telling them this was an unreasonable request as I was not located in the state the puppy was getting shipped from, they insisted on me transferring the full amount to the seller so they could deposit the money and I would be refunded in cash after receiving my puppy. Through this whole processed I was pressured into getting ready quickly and get out of work to make transactions fast as I was told I could risk the well-being of the puppy. As this was something important to me, I deposited the money hesitantly. In a matter of minutes I received a confirmation from the company with payment and an arrival time for the puppy.
A few hours later I then again receive an email from the company stating that they noticed that the puppy didn’t have travel insurance and it would be a (again, fully refundable) charge of $5,000 dollars. I then let them know that I apologized as I didn’t have the money and if I was told from the beginning they would request this much money I wouldn’t have proceeded with the puppy; asked for a refund and for the puppy to be returned to their original owner. I was told that the refund was only given after the puppy was delivered, and sense this was not the case, the money would be used for the puppy as he would be redirected to a rescue center. I was also told that I would be sued for being irresponsible and asked to not purchase a puppy if I didn’t have the money. Finally, I was told that they would not be jeopardizing their company with my frustration.
After later contacting FedEx, I came to find out their company does not ship live animals whatsoever.
The initial $400 dollars were asked through Zelle, but the transaction ended up being through CashApp. The $2,400 transaction was tried through CashApp (divided on dispersed amounts), then Moonpay, and finally ended up taking cash out from bank and purchasing bitcoin directly to their account in a bitcoin atm.
