This person is very responsive once you show interest. They scam people who are looking to buy miniature schnauzers. They include information that seems legitimate, like asking "do you want to have the puppy's blanket sent with him?". They asked for my name, address, phone number and gave options for online payment options like Zelle, Cashapp, Walmart and CVS Pharmacy. Their website includes pirated information from a legitimate breeder website (https://www.loveschnauzers.com/miniature-schnauzer-breeders/). I called them and talked with the owner. This scammer has been doing this for years. The scammer has done their research and includes things like the following about air freighting the puppy:

"I tape puppy(s) food and feeding instructions to the top of the crate and put frozen water in the crate, so it will gradually thaw out for the puppy(s) and the puppies are offered food along the ride. The average flight is approximately 4 to 7 hours. I always ask about any delays or layovers and know the exact times and departures of the flights, so I know where the pup is and am able to give you the information as well. The pup will arrive the same day as it is sent usually a few hours. I have a big fluffy bed of shredded newspapers in the crate for the puppy(s) to nestle in and usually a pig’s ear chew (they love them), and a toy or sock with my scent on it to help the pup feel secure".

Once I had wired the money, they sent an email confirming and told me I would be received shipping/tracking information from the pet transport company (also a scam: https://transpetways.com). I did receive information complete with weight of shipment (accurate for a mini schnauzer puppy), time of departure and arrival, and name and age of puppy. No address for the shipping company, however. I emailed the scammer breeder back asking for their Facebook page and didn't hear back from them. I received a call from a different Oklahoma number later that evening. I'm guessing it would have been someone posing as a pet transport agent letting me know there was an issue with the crate (noted on the tracking info when I typed it into their website, "needs thermal create", but I didn't answer. I have heard nothing since. They do not list an address on their website, just an Oklahoma City, OK phone number.

They wanted me to use CashApp to pay for a puppy my bank is smarter than I am, thank God and declined payment. She kept texting me when i said my bank suspects fraud I was almost out a full $600... and she randomly stopped replying, thankfully the CashApp kept getting denied i finally wised up and realized it was a scam.
