Type of a scam Other
my wife and I found a friendly website called retriever paws(out of Mobile Al. that sold golden retrievers and placed a call from their number on the website. they never returned the call but when we requested over email to buy one of the puppies, the emails started coming in. we went back and fourth with friendly conversation and dove into the business of the deal. we were told to send 450.00 western union plus their fee of course to send the money which was 65.00. Shipping the puppy was free. the shippers name was delta pets. after they received payment, the next day we were told they could not ship the puppy until we sent payment for insurance for the puppy, which was 650.00 they emailed fake invoices from delta pets in Huntsville AL and the money was to be shipped to a specific person. I didn’t feel right so I never sent the 650.00 I sent another email saying we wanted our money back, but never received a phone call or email again. I am also going to contact the police
