Type of a scam Online Purchase
I saw an ad when searching for Jack Russell puppies. It grabbed my attention and because I was so nieve and set on getting me a puppy, I never stopped to think that this could be a scam. I sent money through walmart to walmart transfer for the dog I was promised. The seller said he would get the vet and shipping figured out and would ship the puppy this morning, 1/11/2018. I found a site indicating that this is a fraud. The following are the back and forth emails they and I sent one another. It is a little long, so I am sorry for that. I just do not want anyone else to get scammed like I did. The add is still running and I am sure others are getting swindled as well. Thank you.

Thanks for the interest you have in Zack. he is playful,likes to cuddle and well socialized with kids and other kind of pets like monkeys and sugar gliders, if you are looking for a puppy with the above qualities? I thank Zack will be the right choice. he is current in shots, going with a one year health guarantee and he has no health issues.
