Type of a scam Online Purchase

I ran across Delcie St Bernards while looking for a St Bernard puppy. They claimed to have puppies for sale. Pictures with names and pricing was listed. They were beautiful pups at low pricing, $500.00 for a female. I emailed them and they were pretty quick to respond. They put on a good "show" about how they are so cocerned for the pups and how they have been hand raised. They did not respond to any questions I had about the dogs, such as age, etc. I also ask to pick out a puppy in person and stress the fact that I wanted to pick up the puppy in person instead of having her shipped. I live three hours from New Bern, NC but they insist on shipping the dog for an extra $200.00.

Something was not right with this whole set-up. I could not find a name or a physical address on the website. They stated they register their litters with American Pet Registery. I contacted this organization and asked for information on Delcie St Bernards. I explained everything to them and they said it sounded like a scam to them. They also said they cannot search their database without the name of the owner which I could not find.

I then contacted the Better Business Bureau of New Bern, NC and asked for information. They did not have a record of this business. They explained that it just means there have not been complaints or inquiries.

My next step was to ask Delcie St Bernards what there method of payment is. They accept Zelle. I am not a user of Zelle so I decided to research them. They transfer money from bank accounts and do not cover fraud.

In my opinion, this all adds up to a big SCAM! I will not be concluding this transaction and I will on purchase a pet from a breeder that I can pay a physical visit.
