"We're still stunned by it, you know, strangers coming to the door and we kinda go, 'Hello, what are you looking for?' and by this time we're going, 'Please don't tell us you've come for a puppy,'" Ryan told CBC's Mainstreet. She figured enough people must send money for shipping that it's worth it to keep the scam going. The people who've spoken to Ryan tell her they were also asked to wire money, with the scammer mentioning that he's having trouble with his bank account. The RCMP have told Ryan there's nothing they can do to pursue the puppy scammer as they can't trace the IP address.
