Puppy Sales SA... BEWARE IT'S A SCAM

Please don't use this company as they are frauds. I nearly got scammed for R10000.

Was looking for a golden retriever puppies and came across the Puppy Sales SA website and enquired if they had any puppies available.

A lady called Elizabeth Gcwalisle contacted me via both email and whatsapp and said she had puppies available and that they are R4000 each and would cost R1000 Rand per puppy for transport.

After lots of email and whatsapp, we finally agreed on two puppies and she emailed me her bank details. And then told that the details she emailed were incorrect and that she would whatsapp the correct bank details. The bill was R10000.

I was literally seconds away from paying her when I decided to research the company and came across a review of Puppy Sales SA on Hello Peter. The review basically called the whole ordeal a scam. I then sent Elizabeth the link to the review and basically asked her whats this about. She seemed shocked and claimed that people were using her name and company in disrepute.

I then told her that I am not comfortable paying and that I wanted to video call her to ensure that the pictures of the pups which she was sending me was actually true. We agreed on a time however, Elizabeth never answered and stopped replying to my whatsapp and emails.

The strange thing was that everything on the website and emails and even whatsapp profile pic seemed so legit and as though this lady had immense love for dogs and a passion to find them a good home. But it was all part of the scam.
