I responded to an add on the classifieds of a beautiful 10week femal tea cup Maltese for sale for $350.00 .., she emailed me saying she had one female and one male ..that her mother was the owner but had passed away a couple days before and it made her a her siblings to see the puppies because it reminded them of there mother and made them very sad, they were in the search for a good home to care for the puppies, that they were giving them away, all I had to pay was the shipping for them to deliver the puppy to my door....to please answer some questions...so I did..the next day I received another email saying they had chosen me to adopt the puppie ...with records , change of ownership , etc....that I was going to receive a email to make arrangements and pay "Expert Pet Transport" from Olympia, Washington to deliver puppy to my home in Palm Springs, ca. Immediately after my response my cell phone started ringing back to back I started receiving emails and texts messages that I needed to claim my puppies who was registered to me to pay $350 shipping cost....they were and are very persistent. It started atat 8am....and has not stopped. So I started doing my research I googled website, location, telephone number and to my surprise no such business. My heart broke into a million pieces it made me very sad because it was all a lie, fraud..., how can people be so cruel so cold hearted to play with someone's emotions...see I cryed tears of joy when she said she had chosen me to be "Dela's" (pupys name) new owner, as a child i only dreamed of owning such a dog but as you all are aware there extremely expensive and due to financial reasons i was unable to own one, I just had the hope that maybe one day....my dream will come true.. I'm adult now , I'm 33yrs old, I have been married 18yrs and we are blessed with four incredible children , you can say we are that "perfect" family.... But there is no such thing, my life is at its worse ever..I'm depressed , overwhelmed, stressed due to a major legal probkem which have all my property frozen. My only way of income was taken away from me, Sept 16, 2014 my life changed and nothing has been the same, when i came across the add i immediately responded to the add, I got extremely excited and for the first time I felt happy, my dream was going to come through, I sold my living room to pay the shipping cost, i sacrificed my family's budget just to make it happen for it to be nothing but a lie, a fraud, a scam. I knew it was to good to be true, One day hopefuly before i die I will own a "toy tea cup Maltese" puppie.., until then. Just be careful ...do your research/investigation before you guys send cash to someone you don't know, remember "if its too good to be true, its no true" . thanks for reading my post, I needed to vent. L.M.R:-)
scam LOOK OUT !!!!!!
I also received a voice mail which was hard to understand. I played it enough times to hear that legal charges were being brought against me for tax fraud! I doubted the IRS would leave a voice mail like that, so went on the Internet and see that it is a scam.
I received a voice message from 253-271-4525, stating that they were the IRS and I needed to call them back asap. Spoke to a gentleman who claim is name was Reggie White or Sara very hard to understand. I ask to speak with his supervisor, he placed me on 1-2 minutes hold and he returned he claimed to be the supervisor who sound like the same gentleman. I ask him for a different phone number that I could call to correct any problems. He gave me a new phone 202-239-2864. I called this number back, it went straight to voice mail. Left a message to call me back. Then 2 minutes later I received the call stating that I filed a fraud tax and that I was going to be arrested within 1 hour for not being complainant. Check the numbers online they both appear to be a scam phone numbers and the service was through sprint mobile phones.
Received 2 automated calls from "Sarah White" from the IRS, stating that there was a lawsuit filed against me and I need to call 253-271-4525. When I called the number back the first time, a man with an Indian accent answered the call and asked for my name, when I refused to give him any information he hung up. I then called the number again and "Sarah" answered the call, this time it was a female with an Indian accent, again she asked for my name, when I refused to give her any information and told her that I couldn't understand her that I would like to speak with someone who spoke ENGLISH, she hung up. So I called again, this time another man, with an Indian accent, answered the call, I asked to speak with Sarah and was told that she was busy, I told him that I already spoke with her and she hung up, then he too hung up on me. So then I called again and when another man, with an Indian accent, answered I told him my phone number and told him not to call it again, and hung up on him. I then called again to see if they would answer and am now getting a busy signal... hmmm, SCAM don't you think!!!
