She had a post on Craigslist selling pure bred standard poodle puppies. I inquired and she called me and told me all about the puppies and told me if I send a deposit she would hold the puppy for me. She had her address listed in Dallas, TX, however she wouldn’t give me her exact address, which I thought was confusing because I wanted to come get the puppy. She told me she messed up the amount I was supposed to send and it was really $150 - so I sent her $50 more. The day before I was supposed to come pick up the puppy, she all of a sudden said she had to fly to Maryland for a emergency, but her grandma would be at the house for me to pick it up. I said great. Then, I told her - I still need the certification and vet records you promised me, and she kept beating around the bush. The day comes when I’m supposed to get the puppy, and she told me her grandma fell and had to go to the hospital, but her brother would come to her house and let me get the dog, IF I PAID $150 for his gas. I told her NO, and that I would just wait until she got home from her trip. She said that would work. Still never got any vet records or anything so I was becoming worried. Then, she said the day that she was supposed to fly home that the flight got cancelled and that she would get a rental car to drive home to deliver me the puppy, if I gave her $150 more Dollars for gas. That’s when I lost it!!!!!!!! She ended up calling me cussing me out, and said she would send me the money in a few hours - more than 24hrs later I still don’t have the money and she told me she tried but it didn’t go through. Sent me screen shot and it was allllllllll a scam. Her husband also text me saying horrible things.
