Total money lost $750
Type of a scam Online Purchase
I ordered a puppy that I was sent pictures and a video of. Was requested to Zelle $750 to them. They said they would fly the puppy to the airport nearest me. After receiving my $750, I never was able to get in contact with them again. They are using pics of someone else’s puppy and promising same puppy to multiple people. Having multiple people send them $$ and then never able to reach them again. So sad that such rude and dishonest people are out there taking advantage of innocent, trusting people.

I am trying to find a pair of puppies for my family using online services. On one site, among actual reputable breeders, I located this jerk who had puppies available and seemed legit. I emailed back and forth and learned when they would be ready, how shipping works, etc. Thankfully I happened to discover petscams.com and was able to identify this guy – Daniel Roberson – as a known scammer. Very thorough email, list of services and amenities, etc.
