This website www.ronnyyorkies.com is a scam. We ordered a puppy online from him, he emailed us back from [email protected] stating to send the money via Western Union to a name "Chi Ntumazah" he verified that he had received our money via western union, texted us from 240-804-5269 said our dog would be shipped. The day the puppy was supposed to be shipped we received a call from a shipping company called petflex stating they needed an additional $1,400.00 for insurance on the dog. Ronnyyorkies said this was part of the procedure and asked if we could come up with this money. We investigated and found that this shipping company was a scam. I think these people all work together so be careful. We haven't received our money back nor anymore communication from Ronnyyorkies.. Scammmers!!!

Watch these people with Ronnyyorkies. They keep making up new web sites with different search engines. The new one is under ronnyyorkies.com/available-puppies/tracy. DONT use these people they are scammers. Their phone # is 240-804-5269. email they use is [email protected]. Although they might continue to change their email. They ask for a money gram or western union and then don't deliver your puppy. I wish someone would have warn me so I will do whatever it takes to let you people in the world know that they are fake and horrible people.

Please post the emails from Ronny and the emails from Petflex, including headers. Other victims may be searching for the email addresses or text in the messages. Any business that tells you to pay by Western Union or MoneyGram is a scam.

Email from ronnyyorkies regarding petflex shipping. I couldn't down load the fake itinerary from this petflex but it said the puupy was going to be shipped from American airlines. The day the puppy was supposed to be shipped we received a call from 786-701-1996 stating they now need insurance on the dog and in order to ship the puppy it would be an additional $1,400.00 and to sent the money thru MoneyGram or Western Union to: Akim Raynold in Laurel Maryland zip code 20707. It stated at the bottom that this was approved by an Adam Karl at the Aviation Dept. Petco Int. We called the airlines and they said : The attached flight information is not legitimate information to ship an animal according to American Airlines. They did not have any pre-booked animal tickets for this flight. Chuck in Baltimore in the cargo division said there are no animals scheduled for this flight nor are there any animals there to be shipped. Also it is not a requirement to purchase any type of insurance to ship an animal on an airplane.

All 4 phone numbers are listed as Enflick VOIP numbers.

That means that the locations are meaningless, and the numbers very likely belong to the same person.

Scammer is using Google Voice to text.

He does not want you to hear his African accent.
