Victim Location 33065
Total money lost $875
Type of a scam Online Purchase
I wanted to purchase a puppy. I searched the internet and found the above website and contacted the seller. The seller contacted me back and asked for information about myself and pictures of my home to make sure I was a good fit. I sent the requested information and after a few additional email exchanges I sent $875 via Zelle to purchase the puppy. I received an subsequent email that provided the shipping website and tracking number. I went to the shipping website and entered the tracking number and discovered an additional $965 was needed. That’s when I realized I was scammed.
