Type of a scam Online Purchase
I found the website when searching to purchase a golden retriever puppy. I reached out through multiple ways of communication, a chat, email, and ultimately they requested to do most commincation by text. They were extremely informative and answered all my questions and requested to be paid for the puppy through apple pay and to have the money sent to: 615-602-0758 and to send to the other number a screenshot of payment. Robert claimed to be registering the puppy (name: Stanley gender: female) to be shipped that night and it wasn’t shipped and said he would ship it first thing ghe next morning. The next morning he wouldn’t respond to my text or calls and when a family membrt inquired about puppies he told me were already sold, he told them they were available.
Because he requested to be paid through Apple Pay ($650.00), I was unable to get my money back or report a claim to apple. He also had asked for my full name, home address, email address and closest airport prior to claiming he would ship the puppy to me. Extremely heartbreaking!
