My girlfriend Vicki called me in a panic this afternoon and came right over. She found two puppies for sale on Facebook Marketplace. She contacted the seller who told her she needed to find a good home for the puppies that she inherited them from a family member who had recently passed and she was unable to care for them.

THEN the lady told my friend she would only take payment by WESTERN UNION. NOW this would have thrown up huge RED FLAGS to me, but Vicki didn't see it coming. She went down to Western Union and sent the $250 to this company PERIDOT PET AGENCY.

Then she received several emails that looked like they were coming from American Airlines stating she needed to send $500 for the shipping of the animals. It said she had to pay it before they would ship them. She went back down to Western Union and send them $500.

THIS TOO would have sent up HUGE RED FLAGS to me....but it did not for Vicki. Just the fact alone that the AA logo in the emails were NOT AA logos, plus if she's paying American Airlines, they would have accepted credit cards or Paypal.

After paying them the $500 for shipping, she received emails stating it was required to have PET INSURANCE for the animals and it would be another $500...this is when she called me....I told her to come over.

I texted the lady telling her she was a scammer...that Vicki was not sending any more money and DEMANDED a refund.

The lady texted back saying she had to send the money...that she needed to find a way to find the money and send it to her.

This is the short version of this story. I got online and filed a complaint with the FBI.

Please be sure to tell all of your family, friends, co workers etc....NEVER EVER PAY for anything via internet if they want the payment VIA Western Union.
