Found advertisement on FaceBook – "Pug puppies for sale". Pursued purchase of puppy through FB messenger for a couple days chatting with other party. Finally decided to purchase puppy and was advised full payment by Zelle or PayPal required. Once paid through Zelle I received the contract to my email address. I signed the contract and returned it. Next email received was from "so called" transport company arranging the departure/arrival times/locations. Within 30 minutes received an email advising carrier not suitable for flight and needed extra money for dog carrier and insurance. Email indicated all refundable. Transport company was [email protected] Received another email asking for additional money for shots at 2:30 a.m. and it finally set in… I was scammed and fell for it! Getting the word out so it doesn’t happen to others!

I contacted the seller by text and he said he was argueing with the transport company. Transporter stated he wanted another 100 because he was angry or he was keeping my puppy. I refused and I have not received my puppy and no further contact from either the seller it transporter

This was disgraceful. This "seller" found all of these health documents off of google. I was able to upload the photos onto google and found multiple sizes of the photo. They also were using a fake delivery service website. BEWARE. DO NOT INVOLVE YOURSELF! The page began to harass me with messages. Disgraceful
