****med trying to buy a innocent puppy for my mother..

My experience this week was as follow. My mother wanted a puppy very badly. On Monday 30th December 2019 I looked on fb and saw an add of registered yorkie puppies and send a message asking the price and the lady said r3000, but she lives in East London so the puppy will have to be shipped to Port Elizabeth. I told her I only had r2000 for the puppy and immediatly did the EFT from my acc to Capitec *** name Rosemary Lindokuhle. Few hours later I received an email from Pet Express Safe Cargo Transport saying that before the puppy could be shipped it needed a crate and also insurance if anything happens. I had to pay in r6300 (this however is my registration money I put away since November 2019 for this year). After a while I received another email saying that the puppy has not been vasinated and a amount of r8500 needed to be paid which is fully refundable if the puppy arrives at my doorstep. At that point in time I didnt have any more money left in my acc as I already spend R8300 in full by that time. So I was stuck I didnt knw what to do and how I would get my money back. Called agency and made a deal to pay only half the money. I Started borrowing money from friends and managed to get a r2500. The lady who sold me the dog said she will try and get the rest. I did a ewallet to her again and paid that money in. I called the agency again and asked if theres any more fees and the agency said no. A half an hour later they phoned to say that I needed to pay in r1500 for the stay of the dog from Monday to Wednesday, as they have fed him and looked after him. On Wednesday night I tried getting that money borrowing it from someone again. I send it to them and then yesterday 2 Jan 2020 at 1pm they phoned to say that the puppy is leaving on a flight right now and will be here in Port Elizabeth by 4pm. Round about 2: 30 the Pet Express agency phoned and said that I should check my emails and in the email it stated that the puppy is by customs in Durban and he cannot proceed unless I pay in 12 000 because of documentation. The change of ownership papers and that I am the legitimate owner of the dog but this money will also be refundable upon arrival of the puppy. I somehow had it and consulted a detective regarding this to open a case. This was hard to chew knowing that I was ****med and had so many people to pay back.. I dont know what to do and I cannot understand why people would do this. It was a innocent way trying to get a puppy now im in debt.. Please anyone if you could help I would appreciate as I have R0 in my acc and no money to get me to work even. This is the information given from this ********. Name of lady who sold the dog to me.
