Mr. Wang did not doubt his presence and transferred the money to the other party through Alipay.

Subsequently, the other party said that the pet dog was consigned from Shandong and would take about a week to arrive. A few days later, Mr. Wang inquired about the logistics progress of the other party. The other party said that the pet dog was stopped when passing through Jiangxi and needed to pay a health examination fee of 280 yuan, so Mr. Wang transferred another 280 yuan. Unexpectedly, a week later, Mr. Wang asked about the process again, and the other party asked Mr. Wang to pay another 150 yuan for the special car consignment fee on the grounds that the car was broken down. Mr. Wang had no doubts and scanned the QR code to pay 150 yuan. Subsequently, Mr. Wang repeatedly asked the other party for the contact information of the private car driver, but the other party did not give any response. Only then did Mr. Wang realize that he had been deceived and lost a total of 1,010 yuan.

Police reminder

When purchasing pets, try to choose regular pet trading markets or pet stores. If you want to shop online, try to choose a cash on delivery merchant, or conduct transactions through a formal third-party payment platform. Don’t just believe the seller’s word, and be careful when making transactions.
