I contacted a woman regarding two applehead Chihuahua puppys she advertised for sale on October 13, 2023 at approximately 9pm. She sent pictures and videos of the puppies. She requested a refundable deposit fee totaling $220. She stated a web receipt would be provided upon payment. My husband transferred $120 to her through Apple pay on October 14, 2023 at approximately 2pm and I sent her $60 via Cashapp at approximately 3:30pm. Then she vanished. She stop responding to text messages, nor would she answer any calls. So I got creative and asked multiple other family members to contact her about adopting the puppies she has for sale. And sure enough she provided her apple and goggle pay information and requested for each of them to send her the same deposit amount. I know I will never get the money back. No problem, I get it ..I was an idiot and sent money online to a stranger. Lesson learned. But it saddens and sickens me to know that evil people like her are getting away with taking advantage of and praying on others. Her/his hoobly ID is capfreek9 Apple pay was sent to [protected]. Cashapp ID is $chichik9s Boss Lady. I was unable to find a way to report the ad on hoobly which is why I'm here. I am absolutely certain this individual is stealing a lot of other people's money too.
Desired outcome: Of course prosecuted by law to the fullest extent possible! Which is probably just wishful thinking. I would love to have my money back. But we all know there is a slim to none change of that happening!
