Total money lost $300
Type of a scam Online Purchase
I contacted darlingtoypoodles.com via a form on their website and we exchanged 2 emails then texted. I told them I wanted to purchase a puppy on their website and I wanted to come pick it up instead of having it shipped. They said the address was 19 Nordale Ave. Dayton, Oh. 45420. I made a deposit via Paypal friends & family to the email they provided ([email protected]) and would pay the balance when we pick up. The name on Paypal was Carlton Wilson. We arrived and the address to find that we were the third couple that had knocked on the door wanting to pick up a puppy. We asked the man where the nearest police station was and we went there but was told we would have to file the report in our hometown since we initiated it there. We have been trying to reach these people via phone, text and email but no response.
