Scam Description
Used scammer website to engage on puppy information. Scammer sent a text and then emails with photos and videos of puppy. Scammer provided details on puppy transport. Scammer sent a contract which I signed. I then sent money via Zelle.
The next morning I realized puppy was still listed on website. I did more research and realized a scam was listed in Australia. Scammer claimed from Cody Wyoming.
Once I realized the potential contacted scammer and said I would report, send photos or have a call with puppy. They said they would but never got back to me.
Reported to my bank on Zelle transfer, FTC and BBB.
