Total money lost $900
Type of a scam Online Purchase
I was looking for a french bulldog puppy. Found one on brighthousefrenchies.com. Was offered puppy at $800. They had vouchers for free shipping through Eastern Coast Carriers. Mathew Singleton also offered for $50 to microchip the puppy and $50 more to have it delivered to my home. I wired $900 through western union (346-754-7385). I sent the money to his son (Bernard Downsland) also in Tx, because Mathew was very busy that day. He received the money and proceeded to drop the puppy off at Eastern Coast Carriers the next morning for flight to me. Then Johnson Portman contacted me by email saying the puppy needed a temperature controlled crate and it would be $874 for this crate but the $874 would be refunded when they dropped the puppy off at my door. That’s when I knew it was a scam.
Please stop these criminals.
