I bought a ‘purebred’ French Bulldog for £800 online… but when I saw what arrived I was appalled
A WOMAN who bought a “purebred” French Bulldog online for £800 has revealed how she was appalled when it arrived.
TikTok user Crystalchas had seen pictures of the pooch before going ahead with the expensive purchase.
But what arrived at her door was a far cry from the photos of the dog she had seen and believed she was getting.
Instead of her French Bulldog, what arrived was a different breed entirely.
Crystal revealed she had been scammed, having bought toys and food specifically for a French Bulldog.
In the video, she writes: “I hope this person stubs their toe on their kitchen table”.
She finishes the video by sharing two photographs of the dog she believed she has bought.
Crystal says she has contacted her bank in an attempt to retrieve her money, but is not sure if she will be successful.
Responding to comments, she also revealed how she recently had “a chihuahua pug that passed away before Christmas”.
While some viewers were quick to sympathise, others accused her of being naive.
One said: “People are always getting scammed like this with Frenchies but as a Frenchie owner don’t give up because they are the best dogs ever”.
Another said: “People are always getting scammed like this with Frenchies but as a Frenchie owner don’t give up because they are the best dogs ever”.
But a third viewer wrote: “I don’t know how people fall for these scams when there is so many warnings and horror stories out there.”
And another added: “And this is why you go to a reputable breeder”.
The story had a happy ending, though, as Crystal later shared another video hugging her new puppy.
It comes after man revealed how he bought a “purebred” Golden Retriever online for £23 but was left shocked when his new dog arrived in the post.
Liu, from China, excitedly purchased his fluffy new pooch – only to be sent something completely different.
