I have been looking for a golden retriever for a while with breed rescue, shelters and local breeders to no avail. I joined a NY Golden Retriever group on FB and started looking around. From there, I saw a few postings from Anna Grace Madison. She indicated she had a female puppy that just became available again. So, I private messaged her for the details on 1/18/2021. She asked for information about myself and my household - kids other pets. I shared all pertinent information applicable. She provided the details about the puppy including adorable pictures of the puppies and the parents. She indicated that the puppy was $900 with a $300 deposit. She said if I, for any reason, changed my mind, I would get a full refund. She asked if I was interested and if so I needed to make the deposit. She also asked additional questions of me - If I was a smoker, if I had other pets and asked if I had reptiles. While I was pondering she messaged several times asking if I wanted to make the deposit to hold her. I finally said yes I was interested and she sent me the information to transfer money via Pay Pal. We attempted to submit through PayPal to the following e-mail addresses but it didn't work : [email protected] AND [email protected] AND [email protected]. I questioned the emails and she said one was her nephews. Then, she said that Zelle would work better and gave me her "husbands" name and email: Bernard Molua [email protected]. I sent the $300 deposit and we agreed that I could come at 9 am on 1/20/2021 at her house in Geneva to pick her up and I would bring the rest of the money. I still didn't have an exact address. I asked repeatedly for the address to no avail. She said she would give me the address the night before. I started having that "that feeling" that something wasn't right. But I poked her periodically with questions like the brand of food - and she quickly replied with Royal Caine. So, I had some reassurance that it could be for real.
The night before picking up the puppy, I asked again for the address as I needed to leave my house by 730 am to pick up the puppy at 9 am. I needed the address for an exact location to plan my time accordingly. I heard nothing. I asked again several times before I went to bed. I checked my phone over the course of the evening into the morning and heard nothing. Several hours after the scheduled pick up time she responded. She apologized for not reaching out sooner. She said that the vet wasn't coming until 3 pm that day and that her husband said we didn't pay enough for the deposit to cover the vet expense. They needed an additional $250 of the balance for the puppy. She asked when I would transfer the money. By now I know I've been scammed. So I said I would send her the money but I needed the address first. She said her address was 40 N. Main Street, APT A, Geneva NY 14456. She then immediately asked if I sent the money. I asked when I could pick up the puppy. She said 6 pm that day. She asked if I sent the money. I then asked her for a picture of a piece of mail showing her name and the address she provided me. She said she was at work. I asked her to send me a picture of her car insurance card with her policy number blocked. She said no that her husband wouldn't let her. Meanwhile, I looked for the property online of the address she provided. It's a single family residence and doesn't have apartments. In addition, I contacted the municipality and the names of the property owners did not align with her or her husbands name. I told her if she wasn't willing to provide me with reasonable reassurance that she was who she said she was and that she lives where she said, that a picture with that information wasn't unreasonable. So, at that time I asked for my money back and she said she would refund it within the hour. It has been over 24 hours. She said her husband is busy but he will do it. And I am still waiting.
She is on FaceBook Anna Grace Madison.
