This is a puppy scam selling mini bernedoodle puppies for $1200 plus shipping. Seller claims to have puppies and will provide images and videos to a "customer". They claim to ship the puppy to you upon payment. They want half the money upfront, the other half once the shipping is arranged. Payment was made to Zelle and apple pay. Once payment is received, a fake email comes from the pet delivery service to "confirm" shipping. The morning the puppy is to arrive, an email is sent from the pet service wanting money to vaccinate the puppy and provide a travel crate. Note the puppy was in Houston, Tx and was supposedly in Tennessee and needed a crate and vaccine. The cost was over $1700, which would mostly be refunded upon delivery. I refused to pay this fee. I was sent an email stating I would be sued for abandoning the pet. I requested a refund and got nothing but a run around. I informed my bank.
