Type of a scam Other
I was searching to purchase a puppy. They responded so nicely and offered the puppy at a decent price. When I asked to see more photos I was sent videos, pictures, and all the details. They never called me (which should have been a flag) and since I lived in CA and them in NV I chose the shipping option. He told me to pay via Zelle which I thought was secure (it is not) and so I did. Once I paid I received a tracking number and I tracked it and was told the puppy would be delivered the next day. The next day came and nothing. I contacted the shipper (which is probably the same guy) and he said I then needed to provide $1000 in insurance before he could be delivered. I did not, contacted the seller and he said he would fix it. Said it is all fixed and the puppy is on the way. As you know, it was not and I am out money.
