Family Raised English Bull Dogs Wiggles English Bull Dogsother website by same people:http://familyraisedenglishbulldogs.pw/index-2.html Claims to be an American Family(stole a picture from other site) and sell you a dog for $350 that they DON'T HAVE Internet

I am OUTRAGED. I have never come across an internet scam, but when shopping for my first puppy as a college student and a veterinary medicine major at Texas A&M, the thought of someone taking $350-$600 of MY MONEY makes me very upset. Here is how the whole ordeal went down:

I was searching for English Bull Dog puppies, because that is the kind of dog my sister and I agreed on due to the fact that they have short hair that will not make our allergies act up. I did not necessarily want a really nice english bull dog, I only resorted to looking at breeders after not finding any at rescue centers, or the ones I was interested in being adopted out already. When I came across a "Family Raised English Bull Dog" website, I was so happy. I was looking around, but a few things made me uncomfortable. First of all, they did not have very good english and the website was kind of sketchy looking, but I thought that could be simply because it was a family running their own business, so I sent them an email. Here is our correspondence:

I sent a message via their online form asking for details, I was sent this at 11pm.

  Waiting your response. thanks.

As you can see, it doesn't make sense that they have 6 puppies left, when they only name off four..... so I responded, trying to get a better idea of them

Thank you for a quick response-
I am located in College Station, Texas, but since $350 is a lot for a college student to drop on a dog, I would like to make sure everything goes smoothly. Where are you guys located? I am a veterinary medicine major at Texas A&M and have worked at a vet clinic for years, so experience is not a problem for me!! I am mostly interested in Mango, as my sister is part of this decision as well. We have taken a long time to decide on adoption and will not be showing this dog, but raising it as a family pup!
Thank you,
Madison

 Then they emailed again:

Thanks for the response and the
interest to give a home to the puppy. We are located in  Upper
Marlboro, Maryland and We are giving

I will like you to give me some details so that i will start with the
process of the ownership document . the details needed are :

so that i can start with the process of the ownership papers , that is
to register the puppy under your names and send you the ownership
document which you will present to the shipper to ensure that the
puppy is handed to the right owner.
waiting

Since I felt that this deal was sketchy, I sent this:

Before I give out my information-
Do you have any personal references to your business. Maybe previous buyers who would speak to me? 
This is important to me, because sending hundreds of dollars over the internet is not safe. Also, how would I pay you?
Thanks

After no response and some reverse image searching on their picture of their so called "family," I emailed the following to them:

Unfortunately your site has come up as a scam site. On top of that, you seem to have a family picture on your page of all boys and then a picture of your “daughter” playing with a puppy on a slide. That does not match up. Your english is not great, only assuming you are not in America, and have no testimonies on your page. Not only that, but the picture you have of your “family,” is copied from puppychase.com. Your IP address is now being tracked and you are being reported. You might need money, but you have NO RIGHT trying to steal it from others. That is disgusting. You have 24 hours to shut down the site.
Thanks and God Bless

I have also found this site of yours http://www.wigglesenglisbulldogs.net/puppies.html which has been reported as well.

I gave them 24 hours before I reported the site, and now since they have not done so, I decided to prevent futher scams. They are advertising English Bull Dog puppies on both sites, with the same pictures, but different names. They took the "family" picture off of another reputable Bull Dog Breeder's website. They have stolen images, claimed to be people they are not, and I have saved all of our emails to provide evidence should this be taken any further. Thank you
