Scam Description
I contacted Melissa Johnson through https://www.facebook.com/groups/678330731022687, and asked to get the puppy. She asked for $400 deposit first and I zelled to Robertwoodard1235@outlook.com. I asked her why this persona related to you, no response. I started DM to other people who is also requested the puppies from her and found out that one of them got scammed and one is offered the same dog that she is going to sell to me (dog name is Max). Anyhow, she said she can ship the dog to me today 10/14/2024, and asked me to contact the shipping company which is Mainexpressshippers.com, I googled it and found that this shipping company is a totally scam. I’ve tried to requested paperwork from her, but keep mentioning it will be delivered but never did. I also noticed that her cell number is registered in Ohio, but she is located in Northern CA. She did provide another number which is 574-914-3190. The FB group that the scammers created is targeting people who love dog and senior people who is lonely.
