I spoke with the gentleman over the phone after reaching out via website to buy a puppy. Made a payment of $800, $650 for the puppy and $150 for delivery via cashapp. Was told after he drops off the puppy to the airport the delivery services will contact me. They did and had informed me due to COVID-19 pandemic they need a special crate for the puppy for its safety which will be a deposit of $980 and will be refunded when picking up the puppy from the airport, made the payment to them also via cashapp. The only information I had received was the tracking number which Did not seem lagit. The video clip of the puppy I was provided by the gentleman matched a clip of a YouTube video from a year ago. When I confronted him he had said that was the wrong clip he had sent he will send me another video. After 30 min go by I called him but it seemed as if he had blocked my number, was not able to hear from them nor the shipping company, also they both had the same African accent.
