Hi Shirley,
This scam is actually someone pretending to be a breeder. They are using
stolen credit cards to open up ad pages and using a fake ID on the ad. They
are pretending to sell dogs. When the customer sends them money, usually via
Western Union, they stop talking to the person as soon as money is received.
They are very hard to catch since they use a fake ID and stolen credit card
every time. The only real link is the way they take payment.... only Western
Union and from what I heard from a person who was ripped off is, they refuse
to get on the phone and have some weird excuse that they had an operation on
their throat or something to that effect.
