I found the website online while looking into getting an English bulldog puppy. It seemed like a legit site. I began speaking with the breeder through email. When it came time to arrange payment, things got strange. First, they wanted to use Western Union. I set that up. Then they said it didn’t work so they wanted me to cancel western union and go buy amazon gift cards as payment. RED FLAG. I said I did not feel comfortable doing that. I contacted western union thru email to cancel immediately. Then they asked if I have a paypal account. I said I do. They wanted to use paypal but the email address they gave me for paypal was completely different than the one I was using to communicate with them. It was [email protected] Need less to say, I was now very suspicious and will not continue the transaction.
