According to police spokeswoman Soňa Štětínská, the police are currently dealing with a case of a woman from the Karviná region who wanted to make her daughter happy and looked for a puppy in the internet bazaar. The dog was to be sent from Germany.

“According to e-mail instructions, the lady sent the money to an account with the identification data of a certain African republic. However, another e-mail came from an unknown person, as extraordinary payments for transport in the amount of almost 26,000 crowns were required. The seller was apparently accommodating and wanted only half, so the lady paid for it. However, with another demand for the need to pay thousands of crowns for a crate, he has already begun to suspect that he is a victim of fraud. Unfortunately, he does not have a dog and is a total of 20,000 crowns poorer, “said the spokesperson.
