Rogan James Air Gate Delivery Puppy scam ( Promises a puppy delivered to your door once you purchase a prepaid card) Chicago, IL Nationwide

I posted an add on Craigslist, lastnight, that I was looking for a puppy for my family. About an hour later I was emailed by a roganjames004@gmail.com stating that he had maltese and yorkie pups that he needed to get rid of because the new landlord would not allow him to keep the puppies. He emailed me back and wanted my phone number so he could send me a picture of the pups. I gave him my phone number. He sent me a picture of the puppy.

Then he explained to me, that he was going to have the puppy shipped to my home tomorrow, and that he would contact me once he took the puppy to the delivery service. First the delivery service was called Uship. Well, once I got up this morning, I recieved another txt from Mr. Rogan, he stated that I should be recieving and email from the company, to confirm the transportation of the puppy, and that he had dropped the puppy off. I viewed the email and it didn't look like a business email. It looked homemade.

I then read down and found that they wanted me to go buy a specific prepaid card, and put the $100 on it, then call them back with the pin# to the card, and then a spot for flight would be reserved for the puppy and shipped to my home. I began to ask questions, once I realized they wanted me to get a prepaid card. The delivery service changed to a place called: Air Gate Trasnportation Solutions. The website I was given was bogus too! I was contacted by two different phone numbers: 224-99-4684 and 218-270-8305. Please beware of this scammer!!!
