I commented on a post on the facebook page English bulldog puppies for adoption/rehoming of 2 male english bulldog puppies for adoption. Fran Bousher sent me a private message about the 2 puppies she had for adoption. She asked if we had a preference to male or female, where we were located, and if we have any experience with the breed. She said that she was asking $1000 for one puppy including delivery. I had told her that we had previously been scammed and didn't want to get scammed again. I asked her if we could facetime and she was not very happy about me asking but said she would send a video. she sent a video of the puppies with the momma and even said my name in the video. We agreed to purchase she asked if we have apple pay or Zelle and we did not so she said to purchase two $500 dollar Walmart money cards and to send her the front and back of the cards. We decided to meet in Monroe Louisiana at petsmart which is about an hour and a half from us and two hours from her meeting time was 12:45. At about 1 o'clock she said that she got held up by pet control and they said there wasnt pet insurance for them and it was needed and it would be $300. I told her I had never had any trouble traveling with my pet and thats when she addmitted to getting pulled over. I asked her to have the officer call me and gave her my number. She refused and asked if we could just get this taken care of, I told her that I wanted to speak to the officer. The officer finally called me after my husband and I decided to go home. The officer couldn't tell me what county they where located in and was asking for $300. I told him I was not paying that, I then messaged Fran and said we were not paying any more money and that we would not be able to get the puppy. I checked the walmart money cards and all of the money was off of the card. I messaged her about the money on the money card and she said that she did not take it off of the card but it wasn't on there any more.
