Dog puppy scam cons couple out of two hundred pounds

by Darren on March 1, 2010

british-bulldogA couple were so desperate to find a puppy that they agreed to take a bulldog puppy that they saw in an advert on a website. The puppy, named Holly (pictured right), was advertised as needing a home and was set to cost the couple £200.

Karen has only recently overcome her struggle with breast cancer, and dearly wanted the bulldog puppy. She stated:
