Type of a scam Online Purchase
I googled Corgi puppies for sale near Myers. My daughter had worked and saved her money to buy a puppy. Saw a beautiful puppy, contacted the “seller”, filled out all their information they requested, I asked for cellphone video and pictures. Sent them a deposit through western Union. Scheduled to pickup the puppy, they said they would just ship it. Something seemed off so I googled the discretion of the puppy I was purchasing, found exactly the same pictures and video on someone’s Instagram page that actually owned the dog I thought I was buying. This person copied the actual owner of the dog pictures and video, posted it on their website as a puppy they had for sale.
