Puppy scams

I read the BBB article on puppy scams and I was also a part of
that. After reading the article it sounds exactly like what happened
to me just last Christmas. I also thought I was buying a bull
dog from a breeder, but the exact same thing happened . They
said to send money by Western Union and I did . They said that
the puppy was going to be shipped and it never showed and I never
got any information on the shipping.
I was 30 minutes too late to
cancel my Western Union transfer, I was just sickened. I contacted
the New Jersey State Police, Western Union, Better Business Bureau,
Indiana State Police, The web site was also supposed to have
been shut down, after I contacted the people and to no avail
did I get any where with trying to locate the scammers.
I understand now that I made
a bad choice, now I only look for puppies on a puppy find website
where it is monitored and you have legit people out there.
Sorry to hear about the other
family I know how they feel. But like I said, I got no where
in my conquest to find them.
