I found https://akccavalierpupshome.com/ on my search for a cavalier king charles spaniel. They were very warm and present, a family in Ohio, and even gave an anecdote about the particular puppy. On the ownership papers to sign over, the seller’s name was Thompson Dunlop and the phone number attached was an Alabama area code. Next they provided their Zelle payment details, which was Hilary Mulunchang at 815-608-3484, an Illinois area code and another curious name. I said I was not comfortable using Zelle and offered to send a check. They provided the name Erwin Spruth at 1004 Lehmberg Blvd, Colorado Springs, Co 80915. I googled this property, and while Erwin Spruth is attached to this property, Erwin is a 92 year old woman, a red flag of identity theft. The correspondence had increasingly incorrect grammar and odd sentence syntax.
