Type of a scam Online Purchase

I went on this website petfiester.com and browsed through the puppies.on the site I was chatting with the rep name Derrick and I asked him about pug puppies and he told there are 4 for sale two males and 2 female 8 weeks old. I asked him about breeder and for Photo. I was asked to connect on wats app and was asked for my number where he can show my pics of puppies. He gave me wats app no +1 805-399-4768 to connect.Derrick after 5 mins pinged me on my wats app no and shared pics with me. I asked him I will be interested to buy1 male pup and if he can ship them to NJ. He said It’s going to be freight delivery to NJ and a pickup agent at NJ drives to your home that’s how it works these days. He asked me to pay only through zelle, venmo but would not take payment through Credit card. I am stupid should have backed out but seeing the puppies I was so emotionally attached.I paid him $460 via Zelle that included shipping.Person send me colorful ownership transfer certificate and asked me to send it signed with one driving Licence copy. I provided him that and he after few hours send me shipping tracking number and shipping site details www.tntexpresscargo.com where I was able to track my consignment with shipping history. I have to say both the sites are so true and well designed that anyone can be fooled.I am usually very skeptical about it but i also got scammed this time. I am only reporting so that no one else becomes their victim.
