Description

On 2/16/24 I went to www.valleyranchsaintsbernards.com to inquire about a puppy. I submitted an inquiry request through the website. The next day, 2/17/24, I received a reply via text and email. The phone number I was contacted from was 505-373-2655. The email address I was contacted from was [email protected]. John Luke is the man who contacted me. He said he was out of Albuquerque, New Mexico. We agreed on a price, and I sent him the money via Cash App. His Cash App name is Ray Fonkem. His Cash App ID is $RayFricana13. I did not send him money to ship the puppy to my house. I was going to go pick up the puppy and leave on 2/20/24. On 2/19/24 I contacted John Luke about when I was planning on leaving and other information about the puppy. A few hours later I received a text and email saying that I needed to send him money to ship the puppy because he had a family emergency in Germany. That's when I knew he was a fraud. I requested a refund and did not pay him the shipping. I reported to Cash App that this was a fraud and requested a refund. I have not received a refund from either party. Nor do I expect to see one.
