Maltipoo Puppies for adoption and rehoming: Juliette Pearson Rutherford and Sharon Holloway, run this website. Pearson Rutherford, stated she needed a $500 deposit, through Apple Pay or Chime. I tried to make payment numerous times through Apple Pay, it did not go through. Juliette Pearson gave me NUMEROUS names and accounts to try to deposit money into. The deposit was supposed to allow me to come and visit the puppy so I could interact and pick one out. As soon the the first ZELLE payment of $500 went through, then she had me send a wire for an additional $500 and gave me numerous names to try to wire money to that account. I still had not seen the puppy. She basically made me buy the puppy to make sure one was held for me. I never even saw a picture. She sent me a contract dated, with the business name, an address where I would pick up the puppy (I called and talked to the occupants, she does NOT live at that address). The contract also stated my name, address, puppy sex, birthdate, cost of adoption ($1,000). Contract had the words "PET CARE GUARANTEE IS FULLY REFUNDABLE AT PICKUP. I read the contact carefully and signed. Soon after I was notified that I had "purchased the puppy" without even seeing any pictures. Then next document received stated that I owned the puppy and that now I had to pay the $1.500 Pet Care Guarantee which would be refunded at the time of puppy pickup. This fee had never been discussed before. The fee amount was not listed in the contract. The following website was also listed on the document: [email protected] and petsupportcenter.com. This website looked legit at first, but I was told to check it as it is a dot com. Upon further research, I could see that the website was just recently created, as [BBB Scam Type: Online Purchase] [Business: Maltipoo Puppies for Adoption and Rehoming] [Location: CA, USA- 93021]
