PUPPY SCAMS— BEWARE

There are some serious shady puppy scams happening in Seattle area. Either that or a puppy mill situation. I messaged about one breed of puppies being advertised (shipoo mix) last week and received the message asking for a $250 deposit to even SEE the puppies and $250 to adopt. Then the following week I message a different number about long haired dachshund puppies and received an almost identical message now asking for a $300 deposit, again before even knowing the puppies are real or seeing them.
Please do not fall for this.
When I called out the second number about the oddly same message I got a week ago they never responded.
Do not give someone money before you have seen that the puppies are real.
Either this is a total scam or it’s a puppy mill with several types of dogs and they’re using this same message/ system.
