Description

Michael Rodriguez or Joseph Randazzo, was selling Yorkie puppies on Tiktok, i inquired about 1, he sent me a picture of an 11 week old puppy. He was asking $450, but i got him down to $200. I sent him $100 thru an Apple Prepaid Card, then when he dropped the puppy off at the delivery place, they needed another $200 with an Apple Prepaid Card for delivery of the puppy but that it was refundable. Then thy shot me an email saying they needed another $500 for insurance on the puppy's delivery and I stopped it right there. So they got a total of $300 off of me which was my bill money that I thought I'd get back.
