I went through the same when reporting a scammer. I reported it via the attorney generals of Florida where I live and Colorado where the scammer was from. I did get a generic letter response from the AG of Colorado saying they would look into it. A year later and their Puppy scam website and Facebook presence are still there. Gmail and Google Pay never responded to my reporting. How did you report to Facebook. I can find nothing when I google it.

Refundable insurance you have to pay is a common approach to scam more money from victims.

Sorry…this is a long IM. I’m trying to get the word out on a Papillon scammer on Facebook.
WARNING…”MS. CATHY” IS A SCAMMER.
Ms. Cathy IS PART OF AN ELABORATE SCAM. She got me for $950. “Ms. Kathy” posted that she had a Papillon named “Lola” available. The picture posted was of a cute brown and white Pap, 15 months old with one upright ear and one drooping ear. She said I had to pay via Zelle or CashApp, two favorites of Scammers. I didn’t use either and she said I could use PayPal to send the money. She sent this info to me to make the payment to: her son who has a Paypal account dincherjjed@gmail.com KARIM. When I tried to send it it showed PayPal was trying to process the payment in Phillipine pesos. She explained it away saying that had to do with a puppy they just shipped to the Phillipines and gave me this info to send the payment to:Paypal -@kellybacon829 Email mikemos286@gmail.com. This was her “son’s” Paypal info too. The payment went through but was pending 2 days as it cleared. During that time she kept asking for me to put $950 on my Paypal account and transfer it under “family and friends” to speed up the process so that she could ship “Lola” the next day. I told her I wanted to wait for the payment to clear. In the meantime she kept telling me that her “son” did not receive the payment. I called my bank, and they said the payment had cleared and exited from my account. PayPal when I called told me to explain how he should accept the payment through his account. I IM’d “Cathy” who said he got it and they would ship the next day. I got a text message on my phone from the “son” saying the shipper was trying to reach me. “Ms. Cathy” IM’d me via Facebook the link to the shipper with a Tracking number: Tracking number WPC087519869445-CARGO https://fastwayglobaltracking.com FASTWAYGLOBALTRACKING. I confirmed my shipping info on their site. Next, I get a text message from the shipper saying I have to pay a “refundable” insurance fee of $800 followed by this word salad: “once the custom is paid your package will be granted a diplomatic status for safe delivery and a new status will be applied to package in transit” Then they go on to ask how I want to proceed with my payment and list the same payment options that “Ms. Cathy” gave me to pay for Lola. The “tracking info includes: Cathy vieru, 2307 Gravier St, New Orleans LA 70119, 985-497-1142 cathyvieru@gmail.com. Ms. Cathy also said the insurance was refundable.

I was told I would have to pay a refundable insurance fee of $800. Another scammer tried to get me for a “thermal crate” There is a special place in hell waiting for people who prey on others. They will get their day of reckoning eventually.

Be advise that Tod Miller from Affordable Jacks for adoptions is a SCAMMER.
I sent him $250 for his dog (jack Russell ) for down payment. He wrote that there will be no other fees charged. That He he will deliver it next day. Next day I received a msg saying that I need to deposit another $200 for delivery. This when I smell the scam.
I request the reimbursement of my moneys and he refused. Then He shot me out of the FB chat.

I got scammed by “Michelle Walters” on the West Highland Terrier Lovers and re-home group. She claims to have puppies for sale and wants payment through ZELL (red flag 1) for a price below market (red flag 2) and then tells you they will be shipped in the cabin with a nanny. Given the price charged this is unrealistic.

Next you get a message with a link to a fake shipping company called Ship Safe Logistics which send you a series of email and messages asking for a $1,200 to $2,500 “deposit’ via ZELL for a special “electronically controlled air-conditioned crate” that meets some bogus regulation. They introduce urgency by saying you must pay now to make sure your puppy makes the flight. I told them I was not stupid enough to get scammed twice in one day.

I got scammed for a puppy and I did my due-diligence. He was listed as a moderator on one of the Westie pages that I’ve been in for years. He even had 3 people vouch for him on the page. Then I checked his personal profile, which dated to 2016 and had several Westie pictures. He supposedly wanted a $400 deposit for a pup, but I only initially sent $50. It was after the $50 that his language and insistence got weird. He was supposedly local, so I kept insisting on meeting for the balance and he disappeared! Now I can’t even find the group, so I’m guessing he blocked me from it so I can’t tell future victims. Being a moderator of a puppy group, with thousands of members, makes people think you might be a little more trustworthy! His name is Tony Johnson.
