Peggy’s Cute Shih Tzu’s for Adoption review: No dog for sale scam/fraud

SCAMMER… on 8/1/2020 Patricia Ford offered to sale one of her listed puppies. Ask for deposit of $100 via zelle, pay pal or cash app, to hold on the puppy. After the deposit was made and a screen shot was provided with much resistance she gave me the (1319 Kings Ave Florence, SC) address and phone [protected]) to submit deposit via zelle, cash app or pay pal. I drove 8 hrs to meet her to pick the agreed puppy and provide her with the balance. On my way she stated she ran out of cash and needed an additional $100 to transfer papers from AKC so it was ready when I arrive. I sent the money. After an hour or two she said she needed another $75 for another vaccine because the puppy was found to be possibly infected on a crate discovered with some disease. I started to fill wrong so I stated no more money until we met. She started to be rude and requested funda on a credit card and a picture of card and back before I show up. I stated No. I said I would pay balance when we met. She said I would risk taking the puppy without the vaccine but agree to meet later. I arrived at the address which was a dump by the way. The messenger of the page never replied again. I called the number used for the zelle transfer and the old lady answer very Irate and rude stating she was Patricia, she hasn't message about no dog, she wanted no dog, she was in the hospital and asked not to call the number again. They gave another number as their vet number [protected]) but is just a VM. Zelle is linked to the number provided. At least the source receiving the funds can be tracked. 😡🤬 please do something to stop this FRAUD/SCAMMERS.
