Huge rip off! They were so attentive when I was interested and when I asked to have a Skype or a FaceTime session to confirm puppies they were suddenly "busy and would get back to me".

A few of the red flags
1. They are now dreamminidach.com
2. All puppies are somehow all the same age
3. They always have the 50% off deal?
4. From other posts, supposedly they have 3 free shipping coupons, hmm shady.
5. Moneygram is the only form of payment they take and must be send with a cash transaction.
6. They r quick to reply, my initial message was send at midnight ish and had a response by 1am, they were prompt w back n forth emails until I requested the video chat.
7. I kept asking for additional pics and was ignored or told that pics and info on site were current.
8. Phone number does not answer or leave voicemail options.
9. You cannot connect to their Facebook, Pinterest or any social media.

I am lucky I started looking more into this and did not go to next steps which would have been a purchase!

Do not send these thieves any of your hard earned money! Its a big rip off!

The website is in the process of being reported for fraud.

It is ALWAYS a scam
If the pet seller or shipper asks for money to be sent via Western Union, Money Gram, any brand of gift card. Walmart To Walmart , Zelle , PayPal friends and family option, or mentions Cameroon

Same story as above, even about the coupons for shipping. Saying they are based out of Wells Nevada, but we are in Nevada too, and you cant ship from there. Didn't make sense or the fact you can tell the puppies are not from the same litter.

On March 7, 2018 I found the Worthy Mini Dachshund website, a breeder in Wells, Nevada. (http://www.worlthyminidachs.com). I contacted them via text message (775-553-6494) and then followed up with email ([email protected]) After conversating for two days regarding a puppy for purchase named "Ish", the breeder sent me multiple photos via text and email. After deciding to go through with purchasing the dog, payment information was sent to me. I went to Western Union on March 9, 2018 and sent $490 to Jason Abrega in Wells, Nevada zip code- 89835. Hours later, Jason contacted me saying he was not able to get the money from Western Union and that I needed to get my money back and do a MoneyGram transfer. I got my money back and did a MoneyGram transfer the same day, March 9, 2018. The MoneyGram was sent to Richard Ntinda of Wells, Nevada. I was alerted that the money was recieved and I should expect the dog to come March 12, 2018. On March 12, 2018 the breeder Jason contacted me saying additional fees were needed to ship the dog. I found this odd. He sent me the contact number 775-553-6494 for the shopping company called "Starwood Animal Transport" I was not sure about this. Looked up the company and saw the legitamate "Starwood Animal Transport" had a different phone number then the one I was given. I called the given number and the breeder, Jason answered the phone NOT the Starwood Animal Transport. This is when I caught Jason in his lies. He said he gave me the wrong number and forwarded me a new contact (775)237-8972. I called this number and it was Jason again but with a French accent I assume. I was yelled and harassed to send $980 to the shipping company in order to keep my puppy "safe". I was told they have my puppy and don't have to give it back until I pay. Then the French man hung up. I contacted the breeder Jason once more and demanded my $490 back and he refused. I called numerous times and he is no longer answering.
