Joseph of Cutest French Bulldog is trying to scam individuals looking to purchase a French Bulldog into sending money via Zelle Bank Transfer or Cash App. He reaches out to those who submit contact information via text message and asks for money transfer via Cash App at $santos237 (name: Emmanuel Ebeh). I did not carry through with purchase, but asked for references and other means of contact, along with ways to meet or virtually meet a puppy before purchasing a puppy without success.
