My husband and I communicated with the scammer via email and then eventually it turned into text messages with the number 806-542-1589. We told the Scammer that we want to speak to them. We were able to talk to the scammer once. Then we told the scammer we didn’t feel comfortable sending the full $700 and then the scammer said we could go ahead and pay $350 and the rest when we get the pup. Long story short he gave us a confirmation/tracking when our pup was coming to the nearest airport and that’s it. We were scammed because the delivery service -https://fastcouriernetwork.com/track-shipment/ was asking for more money that they had a delay. It was devastating to hear because by that point we were aware that we were scammed. Yes it was $350 but it could have been more as they were asking more than $350.
