I was looking to buy a golden doodle named Ralph from Hartley Freeman. He has a website called Hartley freeman’s doodle worldwide. He told me that I needed to put a down payment of $300 on either Apple Pay or cash app and that he would send a written contract. I sent $300 thru cash app. He then said that I needed to send another $200 for Ralph’s food and other things. I said absolutely not, I’m net sending any more money. He was very persistent and finally agreed after several attempts that I would bring the rest in cash the next day.($300) So on my way there, which was a 4 hour drive, he said can you please just send the rest thru cash app. I knew right then and there that this was gonna be a huge mistake. I told him no and that I was almost there. I got to the address where he told me he lived and it was someone else that lived there. I talked to the person that lived there and he hadn’t heard of Hartley Freeman. I told him that this Hartley Freeman used his address. He seemed very upset and I showed him the contract that Hartley wrote up and his address. He said can I take a picture of this so I can look him up and I said absolutely. So I drive 4 hrs away and lost $300. He has changed his Facebook profile several times but using the same pictures. I messaged him and told him that he owes me $300 and gas money. He admitted to me that he was a scammer and said he would refund my money. He has not refunded me and I can no longer message him. It just says cannot send message.
