Paid almost R20,000 for a puppy that does not exist

On 7 Decemeber 2024 I paid R5500.00 for a Husky puppy. The seller Jonies Elton Balentine claimed to be from Richmond in Port Elizabeth and an dhe confirmed that as soon as paymeny is made the puppy would be delivered within 4 hours or by 4pm. Payment was made to TYME Bank. I received an invoice and a KUSA ownership document via WhatsAPP The Seller did not behave very helpful and was rude. Later I was contacted by a Mr Serhit Bennert Barinse from a comoany called Topical Birex Logistics. He advised that the puppy was delivered by seller in wrong crate and requested an amount of R15000. I found this very odd as the seller never mentioned anything of such a nature. I advised them that I do not have R15000 and then the seller stated that he would pay half of it. After debilration I made payment if R8000. and the Seller of R7000. They said that the money for the crate would be returned. Thinking all was fine, an hour later the man from the courier phoned again ans said that the puppy urgently needed a vaccinne of R9450. He was not doing well and then I realsed something was wrong with this whole transaction. I had an exchange of worrds via WhatSApp and they called me stupid and a time waster and blocked me.
