Total money lost $1,400
Type of a scam Other
I went on this website to purchase Ckc registered Old English sheepdog puppies, with Anthony he wanted $600.00 each included everything. He took a long time answering so I got rid of him. I found another add from Paul Hulk phone #204-817-5731 from Hamilton, Ont. His email is [email protected] He had 2 registered puppies for $700.00 each, so I said I would buy both. I said would you take Visa he said no. I had to go to Western Union and get $1400.00 to be sent to his director Charlie Demann 1406 Cherry St., Tampa, Florida 33617. Which I did, then Western Union cancelled it for possible fraud. So I got my money back. I then heard from Anthony from Citizenshippers.com phone 201-742-7869. Supposedly Hamilton, Ontario.
Gave me a flight confirmation code SML3214BJG February 7, 2019.
He told me to go and get $1400.00 in Steam gift cards. Which I did and scratched the numbers and emailed them to him. Then he turned around and said I need to buy crates for the puppies for $1500.00 and when the puppies were delivered I would get my money back. I went to Ebgames in Winnipeg to get more gift cards. I talked to the clerk there and I decided not to send them any more money and that it was a fraud. I went home and called the Rcmp and reported the fraud. The next morning Anthony called and said Paul Hulk will pay $600.00 I said well you are not going to get another penny from me then he said if I didn’t pay I would be up for animal cruelty. I said just likely. I then put a block on my phone for the two phone numbers.
