I’ve been looking to buy/ rescue a dog or puppy at the moment and found an ad online just through Google search. It took me to loot.com where I saw the ad from Brian Lofquist labrador puppys for sale £550 ( I’m in UK btw) I emailed the seller I have screen shot mine and his response . I first became suspicious of the photo on the ad so I did an image check to see if it was genuine on tin eye no results… so I asked a few more questions and the emails that followed and my further checks proves to me 100% that he is a scamming lowlife [censored]! The phone number on ad is listed as California! Not Torbay as he claimed he was from. The second lot of photos when checked were first found on internet December 2019 so can’t be the pups he pretends to be selling! Lucky for me I sent no money as I’m guessing there would be no puppy at the end of it! Hope he is caught soon as I bet this isn’t the first time he’s tried it!
Did you report him to THE FBI? He scammed me for $150

Type of a scam Online Purchase
I reached out to this company to buy a puppy. Everything seem legit until they wanted payment via Western Union. I asked them to verify they were legit, with either a license or company info or other. They said they do not offer that information. The supplied address is to an older apartment complex. I started to do google image searches of the dogs they listed as available and those same pictures appear on other websites as well. I read through the "testimonials" and they are written in the same broken English language that the emailer has. Once I confronted them with the concept they are scamming me, they quit responding.
