Type of a scam Online Purchase

Beverly Hills puppy advertises "french bulldogs" on Petfinder.com for the low price of $650. Upon contacting them via text and email it became very obvious they were a false breeder. Photos of the dogs were from other websites, also they claimed the dogs were 9 weeks old. However I was in contact with them at the end of May. In the photos, the dogs were posed in front of Christmas decorations. Clearly they were stolen photos. They then said they would ship the puppy to me and asked for in depth personal information to "transfer the dogs legal information to my ownership".
