Type of a scam Online Purchase
After googling bernedoodle I happened on a website for affordable bernedoodle I hit the chat button and started texting with someone about purchasing they wanted me to deposit money into a account and wait for my puppy. They were nice enough asked me lots of questions about how I our family and how I would be able to take care of this puppy. but as time went in I got more suspicious I asked for a veterinarian to talk to they gave me the cell phone number of a real vet but I googled the vet and called his office instead which they informed me no, we know that deal and it’s a scam. So fortunately my gut feeling and asking for more info saved me from losing 1650 dollars.

Type of a scam Online Purchase
A website was offering Bernedoodle puppies for $1685 and would ship the puppy on a plane within 3 days. They required a payment through a Wells Fargo account, so it couldn’t be tracked since it was made with cash. Then the day the puppy was supposed to arrive, they claimed the transportation company needed $1150 for insurance payment and a new crate that would fit airline regulations. They said that money would be refunded once the puppy was delivered. It turns out the flight time did not even exist.
