Description
Found Krystal's Bernedoodle FB page. The page was a great page showing puppies with new families and videos. I messaged Krystal and expressed interest. I was told she took Zelle payments so I asked that she send me Zelle request. $500 pet deposit made through Zelle. Provided screen capture of of Zelle in Progress and Zelle payment transferred with Confirmation numbers. I was sent a Puppy Transfer document asking for my address, phone number, full name and email address which I provided. She then texted and and asked if I had Apply Pay and confirmed we would meet in Waco at Brazos Landing. She told me that she was taking the puppy to the vet and I needed to pay the vet $300 for last dose of vaccines so my balance to Krystal would be $200. I asked for the vet contact information and was provided @Jose-Heredia-61 Jose Heredia Venmo. Since paying a vet in advance is not typical and sending payment to a vet via Venmo is not typical I asked for the phone number and was provdied 818-732-9531 which is a Google Number that no one answered. Once I hung up I received a text from the Google Number with a Hello and I responded asking if this was a vet office and the response was Yes. I asked for the name of the Practice and have had no response. Krystal has also stopped responding. I searched for Krystal's Bernedoodle Puppies FB page and instead of the FB page popping up there was a post about a family that had been scammed by Krystal's Bernedoodle Puppies.
