Description
I’m a Bernese Mountain Dog breeder. I had an ad on AKC marketplace for my littler of puppies and was contacted by a Billy Martin that wanted to buy a puppy. When the check arrived the check had a different name on it and was for way more than the purchase price of the puppy, so I was immediately suspicious. Then Billy Martin wanted me to overnight money to a puppy transporter through the mail. That’s when I knew it was a scam.
