Total money lost $1,100
Type of a scam Online Purchase
Contacted a breeder on the website for a certain puppy, was told to make the payment, $900 for the dog and $190 for shipping, via the Zelle app (or a person to person money transfer). Was later contacted by the "shipping" company associated with the website, which is also a scam called "EL-Shippers", asking for $3600 to get a thermal electronic crate for the dog as it was too hot to ship in a normal crate and 98% of the cost would be refunded after the fact.
