I first started to look up for any English bulldog puppies for sale then I found this. They seemed legit with a professional looking website so I contacted them. In no time I received an email from them saying thanks that I was interested in. In the email it said if I was close to a vet, where I am and all that stuff and pictures of the dog named Bianca. I provided it and they sent an email back saying where precisely I was like my address and stuff like that and they also said what the dog will come with and that it will take 5-6 hours to ship the dog. On the next email they sent it said that if I prefer home delivery or picking the dog up at the airport and that someone should be home to provide a valid identification. Then they said that they were going to get her shipped and delivered by that day by 7pm. Then I said I could give them the money by Saturday and by that day they’ll deliver the dog. One I had the money and told them they provided me with their Zelle information which was [email protected] and the name was Denell Poku. So then I couldn’t send the money which was a good thing and so we tried Cashapp or Venmo. Their Venmo account is @Donald-Nsom-1. I sent them a screenshot of the profile to see if it was them and they said yes. So then we tried another Venmo account which was @Xasan-Libax. So when that didn’t work I told them if they could request it from me and they said yes, so I provided them with my email. When that didn’t work they told me it usually does and then they said that these kinds of payments can be a headache at times so the person asked their “daughter” for her Venmo account. Their “daughters” account was Seth Wyatt and their was many of them and I found it which was @Seth-Wyatt-7. Then when that didn’t go through they gave me their account name for Cashapp which was $kobe9229. I sent them a screenshot and they said it was them. So when that didn’t work they told me to go to a western union. They gave me their information for it and the name was Emmanuel Wyatt in Oklahoma. I asked them pictures of the dog and they sent me more with two videos one of them saying the dogs name which just had me convinced there. I then asked them later on if we could do a FaceTime or a skype and they said they couldn’t do that which had me thinking then they said that I’ve already seen her through pictures and that I should just do the rest of the payment through a kiosk at Walgreens. They said they give back to me late because his wife had an emergency due to her “complicated pregnancy”. Then when I was at Walgreens I asked them for their phone number and they provided it which was (405)-783-5422. I then sent them the money after a long time of struggling to since it was my first time. I the email that had their western union information it said to provide them a receipt of the payment and so I did through a picture. Then I asked when the dog will be delivered and they said that they’ll get her shipped in the morning and delivered before 6pm that day. Then I asked if we could get the puppy’s flight number and airline and they said that he’s waiting for his daughter to pickup the money and bring it to him so he can complete the pay for the shipping and delivery fees. And will let us know when the dog has been shipped. Then later on I asked if the dog was shipped and he said he was still waiting for her because she had to go to church and was now waiting for her. THEN he said that he had an issue which was that the emergency had taken a toll on them and he couldn’t complete the fees. Then they asked that I need to send the rest of the money. When I first sent them the money, we sent half as a security deposit because of us being worried that it would’ve been a scam and they agreed to it. Then I said that it didn’t feel comfortable doing that because a family member that I know had been scammed like this before. They then said it wasn’t a scam and could never be. The they said that they promised and gave me their word that the dog will be shipped and delivered safely. They then said that they don’t care about money and they never did and said that they deliver on their promises all the time. Then I said if they could download skype and they sent more videos of the dog which we had already seen. And so by this time we’ve been texting each other about it they can download skype so theta we could see the puppy and they said it would just be “extra stuff” meaning just wasting time. They then said that it was a headache of having this back and forth thing and so I said I didn’t want her anymore and asked if they could send us the money and they said okay BUT by the following WEEK. And right now I’m waiting for them to send the money back.
