The above website supposedly sells Boston Terrier puppies but it all turned out to be a scam.
I know I was stupid for even doing this but below is my story in hope that no other person is victimized.
In search of a Boston Terrier puppy I did a search via Google and came across a website by the name ofhttp://greggbostonterrier.com/. The website is professionally set up. On 11/29/2016 I decided to send them an email at [email聽protected], which is listed on their website. On 11/30/2016 they in turn replied with the following email message:

On 12/01/2016, being very stupid decided to text them at +1 (757) 542-9009, also listed on their website.
They in turn asked if I can send them a deposit of $350.00 to hold the puppy. Me again being stupid let them know that I would.
They indicated that they would get back with me once they get off work.
I waited several hours with no further response.
I again text them asking when would I be able to pick up the puppy. Since I did not hear back I decided to send another text indicated that it looks like I have been scammed. At this point the replied with the following: Omg I need to check on my work schedule within the weekand fixed a day for you to come visit and make a choice.
The funny thing is that before the transaction I had already let them know the name of the puppy that I wanted.
The moral of the story here for anyone else thinking of buying a puppy online is to not send any money via MoneyGram unless you actually know it is legit.
We live in a crazy world. People like make is hard for those who are trying to do the right thing.
