Description

I reached out to Melissa after a post about a dog needing a home. She immediately came back to me with details and how they could get the dog to me with 3 days. I paid for everything g upfront and received a contract which was signed and I signed and sent back to her. Then the day the dog was supposed to arrive I was notified that there would be a delay. Then the shipping company reached out and said they needed more money for the dog to have a crate for the journey. When I contacted her she said that this was legit and I should pay. When I tried to pay the account was blocked by 3 different online payment apps due to scammers. When I reached out to Melissa about this she said it was all normal and that I needed to just send the money and then the dog would be on the way. When I said no and wouldn’t pay the fee she kept sending me messages about how the poor puppy was going to be left alone and how could I reject him, etc. in effect pulling on my heart strings. This is a smooth scam and one that has many parts and people involved. Hopefully someone else doesn’t get scammed too
