This scammer is claiming to sell Beagle puppies. I inquired about one and was told immediately the puppy would be mine. I was told that the price was $600 and that included airfare to my home. That was the first red flag that made me stop to think. Then I was told to send 1/2 as a deposit so that they could arrange airfare for the dog. I was to send $300 via Western Union to a guy in Atlanta Georgia. The untraceable funds was the second red flag so I did a little more research. Come to find out the website is fake. There is no such breeder and when I searched the website address on "Whois.com", I found that this site is from Panama. When I received the followup email from the fake breeder asking when I was going to send the money, I replied that I was no longer interested which all I received as a reply was OK. Please be very careful and do your homework before purchasing a puppy online. I am very glad that I read this article: <span title="https://www.bbb.org/northern-alabama/news-events/bbb-scam-alerts/2016/01/how-to-spot-a-puppy-scam2/
