Scam Description
These absolutely terrible people tried to scam us over the sale of a Dalmatian puppy. The reach out via email first and seemed very convincing with all the information, additional pictures, how the dog would be delivered etc. The scammers reached out via text to see if we needed any more information and if we wanted to move forward with the purchase. The first red flag was they were unwilling to do anything but a bank transfer even when we offered to use PayPal so our money was safe. Then they reached out and said the transfer of funds would take too long and we needed to get them $800 in gift cards to send. Do not believe them and their lies.
