Total money lost $1,350

Type of a scam Online Purchase

I was trying to purchase a Puppy, they told me the cost was $650. $350 up front then they would email me the flight information and then I was to pay the other $300 upon arrival of the puppy. I sent the $350, then they said it would be the next day before the dog would be shipped. So the next day they said it would be another $1000 for the crate fee, which I paid. Then they emailed me and said the dog was in Atlanta GA n it would be another $2000 for pet insurance. Once I said that I didn’t have an additional 2000 he said that I would lose all my money and still not get the dog. He refused to refund me any of my money. I was sent very disrespectful text messages from the “seller”.

I almost fell for the scam until I notices the emails having errors and the website having errors.

Example: the puppies on the website say they are 9 weeks old…. They are still posted over a month later with the same age and when contacting them they stay they are 8 weeks old. By now they should be 13 weeks old. Also one email said the puppy would fly out of OHIO and then another said Virginia…. The puppy’s on the website also have the same names to cause confusion in the emails. In my third email to them they again changed the puppies age to now 6 weeks, the location changed for a third time and they just asked for money over and over again. I never gave them my bank info. But someone may fall for this.
