Type of a scam Online Purchase
We were trying to purchase a bull terrier online. I was in contact with this "seller" all day. He was very believable based on the pictures and videos of the dog he sent. He refused to show me any paperwork on the dog. I told him I needed proof that he wasn’t a scammer and he gave me a big spiel on how he was a God fearing man. I asked him to facetime me or take a picture of the dog with a newspaper for proof of date and he refused. We told him we would drive to him and pay in person after seeing the dog, but he said that was not how he does business. He finally gave me an address to drive to, claiming that it was his home. We looked it up on google maps and it was a fabric store. He also wanted us to pay with a moneygram which we would have no way of tracking him down. Never pay for a dog with moneygram. Always go through your bank so there is a trail. We were fortunate enough to pull back from this exchange. Just be aware that this guy is out there stealing peoples money.
