Type of a scam Online Purchase
Thank goodness I called the Oklahoma ScamPulse.com before taking another step towards purchasing a miniature Yorkshire puppy from this scammer. I interacted via email with the scammer regarding a puppy but when their response was more about money than the home the puppy would be going to, I was pretty sure there was an issue. Biggest clue was that they gave no contact information – just the email address. Once I confirmed that I’d purchase a dog, they gave me an address which I searched on google-earth only to find it belonged to a different business name. Finally, they required money through Western Union – no credit cards – only Western Union, wire transfers or cash. It’s so easy to see the adorable puppies and not be as alert to the other signs because you are distracted by the cuteness of the dog. PLEASE BE CAREFUL! I could have easily been scammed if I wasn’t paying attention – I almost fell for it!!! I encourage everyone to report these scammers when you find them. Put a stop to being ripped off! Thank you.
