I found an ad on Craigslist for a bulldog puppy. When I inquired about the ad I was told that I would only have to pay shipping which was 200 dollars. I sent the money only then to be informed that I needed to send 100 dollars more to pay for the dog crate for her to travel in. I then sent that money and was told she was on her way to me and the airline would contact me with delivery information.
I was contacted via email from the "airline" and was told I needed to pay 200 dollars more to pay for insurance but not to be alarmed because I would recive 75% of that money back as soon as she was delivered. I informed the original sender that I did not have the other money to send for them to please pay for it and I would pay it back as soon as I recieved the puppy.
I also informed the sender of the scams from people in his country and that I was unsure this was even a real transaction. He then got very angry with me and told me I made him feel like a child. I in formed him that I either wanted my money back or I wanted the puppy sent. He told me he would get my money back to me but I guess we will have to wait and see what happens. I just wanted everyone to know about this and hopefully help the next person they try to scam.
