Description

I’ve been looking for a chihuahua puppy on Facebook. Contacted the sight and went back and forth for a day and a half about the puppy. They wanted a deposit, I tried to but my bank put a hold on the Zelle transaction, three times. The bank put a hold on the payment, it was reviewing it. I was going to go to Salt Lake to pick the puppies up. Then I remembered my husband’s daughter lives near Salt Lake. So I told the breeder that she would be coming by to pick the puppies up. He insisted that I give him a deposit. My friend also wanted three puppies. So, he wanted 300.00 dollars to get the paperwork ready for us. I told him that my husbands daughter would bring all the money cash (1300.00) in less than 16 hours the next day. He then suggested I go and get a gift card for the amount and take a picture of the front and back. I told him I wasn’t going out at night. Then he started in about he had other people who wanted the puppies and he wouldn’t hold them. So I said, you’re going to give up 1300.00 dollars because I can’t give you the deposit of 300.00? Again, I told him my husband’s daughter would come at the arranged time the next day and buy what we had to choose from. He proceeded to tell me his schedule had changed and wouldn’t be available. I checked out the Vet’s name, couldn’t find him in Utah. I looked up the address Richard gave me. It was a smaller older home in Bonneville Hills, Utah. He sent me a picture of two different certificates, one had his last name spelled wrong, the other one was on pink paper. Then on the 7th of November he contacted me again. I told him he was a SCAMMER. He said he wanted to prove to us that he was an honest businessman. That if we came (7th of November) today he would wait and let us get the puppies. Our son-in-law went to the address Richard gave me twice. The man at the address didn’t know anything about any puppies. This man and the two other peoples names he gave me were totally SCAMMERS. Rita Howard phone number was given to me for the Zelle transfer. William Crofts was the Vets name. The man I dealt with name was, Richard Wilson/Willson.
