Description

I inquired about a puppy advertised on social media ****book group Bernedoodle Puppies for Rehoming and Adoption. I received a message through ********* from Steve Thompson who claims to be the admin of the group. We ended up speaking on the phone in great detail about the dog; phone# 512-601-0387. He wanted a 300.00 reservation fee to hold the dog. I hesitated but after looking at other companies that sell dogs, they all ask for a hold fee so I didn't think much about it. Also, I could hear dogs barking and making noise in the back ground while on the phone with him. But, once he got his money, I started getting text messages from other phone numbers demanding more money or I would not get the puppy. I knew then that I had been scammed. I contacted the person claiming to be Steve Thompson and he stated that everything was legit and for me to ignore these other people demanding more money. But, I never did receive the dog and Steve Thompson will no longer respond.
