**** Alert

Here's the revised paragraph:

"I'm writing to report a **** I fell victim to. I found a website on Google advertising a dog named Kia, and after inquiring, a person contacted me on WhatsApp claiming to be from the Free State. They promised to deliver the dog, which was fully vaccinated, and asked for a deposit of R2,500. I paid, and they then requested a delivery fee of R499. I paid that as well, and then they asked for R5,990 for pet and travel certificates. Despite paying, I've been unable to reach them, and the promised delivery hasn't happened. They've made various excuses, including needing more money for vaccines. They are a **** and blue tick people. "
