Type of a scam Online Purchase
I contacted the seller about purchasing Celine, an 8 week old chocolate Labrador. I was told I could buy her for $550 and it included shipping/flight, and it included a blanket that was used on her mother, food, toys and a crate. The majority of conversations were via text since there never seem to be an answer when I tried calling. I went to my bank to make the wire transfer and later received word from the seller that they were supposedly at the airport and there was a problem with the crate they had, but if I purchased. $490 amazon gift card I could get the right crate or something crazy, and that I would get that reimbursed. I said no, and that I want a refund, the guy said he did not have the money because he had to use it to help out with the other puppies. That’s when I called my. Bank to check and see if I could cancel the wire transfer and trace it.
