Type of a scam Online Purchase
I searched the internet for tea cup Shih Tzu and came across this one. Sent message via website that interested in puppies. Got a response back within minutes (mind you this was Montana time of approx 11pm. that i was corresponding)
Received a msg back asking my name, location, phone number, any children. Also in the msg was the terms of purchase. Money was to go to Western Union. I responded with questions of my own…primarily why Western Union and not a financial institution such as a bank. There was a response but no answer to my banking question.
The next day, I then called the number given on site. The voice stated "not available" please leave name and number, which i did. About an hour later i checked my phone and there was a text msg that read "Hello?" from same number i had called. I then responded that i was looking for a puppy from them could someone call me back. I referred to my inquiry on their website and ended with, "I seriously hope this isn’t a scam site". I have not heard a word from the site or text in answer to anything and this is two days later.
I think it is a scam site. I’m glad i didn’t jump at the"price offered" and I would like to know just exactly what this site is about and how many, if this is the case, have been bit (no pun intended).
I also tried to locate them on the social media listed, google, Instagram, FB and Twitter and they are not on any of them.
Sincerely,
