Type of a scam Online Purchase

I looked up french bulldog puppies on a website called recycler classifieds. Saw some posted by Fender Christ. Contacted him. He sent me photos of the one I picked but I looked at the photos closer and the photos were not of the same puppy. Each photo of the puppy had slight differences in facial features and hard to see markings, things that are easy to miss. He was also inpatient. I asked him for a photo of the puppy sleeping last night and he said I just sent you a photo. ( it was another outdoor photo of a puppy ) that was the first red flag. Then he wrote that he would send me another photo once he received the 700.00. That was the second red flag. Like in so many email scams, this person had horrible spelling and grammar. He has copies of things to text and email because he sent me repeated messages that were all the same trying to get me to trust him/her. He mentioned a spouse.

This person tried really hard to gain my trust but I didn’t believe anything he/she said. I said I needed proof he really had the puppy… He gave me the run around, saying repeated things again to gain my trust, being inpatient and short with me, he refused to answer my questions too.

I attached a photo of what I was interested in, but I refused to give him money. I don’t think he had puppies anyway since I found one of the photos on 2 random websites.

He wanted me to pay 700.00 through a walmart money transfer.
