pet scam

[tomlinscote]

I was looking to buy a puppy for my father in law for his birthday, i found a puppy on the Dachshund sight. I emailed the seller to confirm that they still had puppies for sale. Backwords and forwards with email finaly sorted a puppy out. Went to wire the money and luckily where we went the guy in the shop knew straight away as soon as i said cameroon.
I was so angry as my father in law was so happy at getting another puppy, i was that angry i went to the police station.These people need to be stopped.
The seller said that he lived in Edinburgh so i thought that was handy for me as Edinburgh is just down the road from me. Then he emailed to say that he was down in Plymouth as his mum is not well and would i like to go down to Plymouth to see the puppies. When i said i could not that is when he said that he would arrange for the puppy to be delivered to our house. I even looked up the company and i thought that they were a real company, i feel really sad and angry that people actually do this. They need to be stopped.
