Scam Description
This person claimed to be a dog breeder by the name of Richmond Henderson selling border collie puppies from his website: www.royaltybordercollies.com. He asked for my name, address, phone number, how many children I have, and closest airport to me so that he could ship the dog. I signed a bill of sale contract so he also has my signature now. He asked for payment via Venmo or wire transfer upfront, but asked me to send it to a different email address: marcwoodson2676@gmail.com.
Upon sending the money via Zelle, I spoke to a Wells Fargo representative that warned me that this is probably a scam, so I quickly canceled the transfer of funds. I am worried about this person having my personal information.
