Victim Location 95630
Total money lost $800
Type of a scam Online Purchase
Scammer advertised puppies online. When I contacted them by email, they responded with information about the puppy, asked questions about my readiness to have a puppy, collected my shipping information, and advised on paying through Zelle. I paid $650 for a puppy and $150 for shipping. I also called and spoke with an individual about the puppy. After I paid, I got suspicious of fraud. I was able to use Google to search for images of the puppies on their website and found one that was supposedly available on another site back in 2018.
