This woman advertises akc pugs on Hoobly. According to orher people who have been scammed, she also advertises various breeds of dogs such and French Bull Dogs and Rottweilers.

She is absolutely not available by phone and only works through texting. She even had a number change while I was dealing with her. She said via text, her granddaughter had broken her phone. Strange she would have a new number now and tat number only accepts texts as well. The strange thing is, her area code is not for Tolefo but for mi hogan, right over the state line.

I paid for two black pug puppies via Cash App by her direction. She said she doesn't take PayPal anymore because they charge fees. I asked if she had a website but she said it was too difficult ult for her to keep up and she depended on her daughter too much. Being a senior citizen, I was trusting because she also talks like a senior citizen. I now believe she is a younger person pretending to be older and even claiming to have sick grandchildren. That's why she couldn't do the promised Zoom meeting to show the puppies progress. Brianna is, aftrrall, generally, younger person's name. After a few days, I started asking questions such as her address. She gave me an address in Toledo but when I searched the name of the residents living there, I found the address belonged to an elderly couple with a totally different name.

I really became suspicious when she sent me a text begging for $100 to pay for the emergency vet.
(This is when she als had the new texting number) She said the puppies poop looked funny. I sent the $100 because I was worried about the puppies but then my common sense began to click in.
I asked myself why is she trying to put 3week old puppies on solid food and why would you take them to the vet because their poop looked funny. I've had dogs all my life and if she's a serious breeder, she should know better.

The next morning, when I asked who her vet was in Toledo she gave me a name. When I called, however, they said they didn't have any regular customers who bred pug puppies. This Brianna person earler online, said she had been using her vet for years and has spent a lot of money there. When I told Brianna I had called the vet and what they had told me, she became hostile and threatened yo sue me!
After several vi ious texts from her, I think she has changed her number again because I'm getting no responses at all now. She did finally refund the $100 via Cash App but I really doubt I'll see the remaining $900. This woman knows the laws. Anything over a thousand is serious business. I hope others won't be tri ked as easily as I was. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Desired outcome: Refund
