Scammed online for a puppy that didnt exist!

I was just reading through some posts and it brought back a not so good memory of what happened to my mother last year. First, let me tell you my mom is very naive,and she never got scammed before and I guess thought it couldnt happen to her!She lost over $400.00 by being scammed online for the purchase of a dog! The site she went on was a legitimate site, and were not aware of the scam going on;.A woman claimed to be selling a puppy, from Nigeria and my mother fell for it. My mom did call the police and notified the site and the woman was booted but no money was ever recovered. What was really sad though was my mother was buying the puppy for her nephew for christmas!And, my mother felt bad because he kinda new he was getting one! Some people make me so mad with their deceitful ways! Anything for a dollar!
