Scam Description
Terri Lane is the Admin of a Facebook group, Blue-nose pit-bulls for adoption. She posts pictures and videos of adorable puppies “ready now” for shipping and delivery. She has several fake accounts that post in her group about their satisfaction working with her and making recommendations. None of those fake profiles match with the user or have any common info that real people have (friends, info, photos). It does not matter where you live, she will agree to drive and meet you. She will refuse to give you her phone number or facetime with you and state that she will only talk on Facebook messenger. She will give her “home address”, which is just an address she found online. She will guilt you into feeling bad for doubting her if you ask her to verify she’s legit. She requires a deposit sent over online pay system live Zelle or Venmo, then after you send her money, she will block you from the group, her profile, and messenger so you have no way to contact her. There is no puppy, her name is not terri lane, her address is false, and the photos she uses are stolen.
