Description

Facebook page for Katie Robinson is linked to a private group page named "chihuahua puppies for rehoming near me". Katie Robinson also has a website on her page claiming to be a breeder. The name of the business is Chihuahuas by Katie (chihuahuasbykatie.com). The person is using a PayPal account with the user name @Javiercoleman877 and email address is [email protected]. The scammer sent videos and pics of the puppy and claimed to be in Asheville, NC. I told the scammer I would travel to NC to pick up the dog. They insisted there is a $300 deposit via Zelle, PayPal, cash app and the remaining $300 would be paid on pickup. The day of pickup I received a message from scammer stating their Mother had a stroke, and they would need to pay someone to deliver the dog to me. Once I started contacting people "Katie Robinson" is friends with on Facebook asking questions, the scammer stopped responding. I messaged a FB friend of "Katie Robinson" and she told me "Katie Robinson" tried to sell them a dog, and "Katie Robinson" told them she was located in Birmingham, Alabama. So who knows where the scammer actually is. I have filed a dispute with PayPal to try and get my money back.
