Puppy Scam

My wife and I were looking for a Cavapoo to give to her mother since she lives alone. I searched Cavapoo puppies and the top search was for sarahcavapoopuppies.com, not Sarahs, but Sarah. We found an adorable puppy and inquired about it by filling out their online form. The site looks quasi legit, but my excitement overruled some of the key ingredients for a legit breeder. Almost immediately I was text about the puppy and its availability, which of course it was available. They cut to the chase after a few questions with, would you like to pay now, we accept Zelle. This was peaking my curiosity, so I kept asking questions about where they were located. They said Utah and as luck would have it we were going to be in SLC the very next week and could pick the puppy up! I then asked where they were located again, and they said a 2 hours drive from SLC. I kept pushing for the address and all they would give was the city, Layton, which is 25 miles from SLC. When I rebuffed stating they said 2 hours away they responded by telling me they just relocated and were not familiar with the area. Now I have my guard up. They then told me I need to pay $500 of the $750 now and the rest could be paid on the day of puck up. The money was to go towards food and toys for the puppy...how cute. I then started poking holes in their website, especially the testimonials. I mean Mila Kunis even agreed to allow her testimonial, no joke. What I found is this scam copied fragments of testimonials from another canine related website and used them as their own. I did not pay for a puppy through them which was nearly 1/2 the price of a real breeder and when asked why they were priced so low the response was, I recently relocated...and they used to be $2,000. Ok.
