I ordered a dog offline and all I had to pay was $120.00 for shipping, but now the guy is saying that the airport charges a $550.00 deposit for insurance on her that will be refunded to me when she is delivered at my door. She was supposed to fly to the France airport, then to New York, then to Alabama. But when I called the airline, they said they didn’t have anything like that, that the guy was a scam artist, they don’t deliver to your doorstep (you have to go pick her up–which was fine!) and they that there wasn’t a straight flight from New York to Alabama. The airlines told me to not give him anymore money. He emailed me and said the airline told him that I was rude with them and they do require a fee. He also told me that if I don’t receive the dog, that since I have all his info, I can press legal charges. What do you think about all of this? Apparently, the dog is still sitting at the airline, because they won’t let it transfer on the overlay plane or let him have her back until the get the fee. I am so frustrated and mad. This dog was supposed to be here at 7:30 this morning and now it is supposedly stuck at an airport in France and the guy still has my money! What should I do?
