Puppy Scam reported to Rabun County Sheriff’s Office

The Rabun County Sheriff’s Office is warning the community about a puppy scam.  On August 2, a deputy spoke with a Lakemont resident in reference to a scam.  The complainant stated that she placed a $200 deposit on Facebook for a French bulldog puppy but that a Cartersville, Georgia breeder never showed up at the time scheduled to deliver the puppy.  Also, the breeder has not responded back to her.  The complainant has since observed another person on Facebook who suffered from the same scam from the same Cartersville breeder.
