yes. You have been scammed.
google "puppy internet sale scam"
Here is a link to a New Zeland warning about a set up as an example for you.

Sorry. Do not send them a penny more and contact the police.
Good luck and sorry about your lost money.

Without a doubt, this is a scam. Try finding a dog a little closer to home.

Yes it is. They will have you send them a money order for just the cost of shipping and you will never see the puppy (usually a English or French Bulldog, Maltese, or Yorkie). It is really really hard to ship a dog from another country, it is very expensive, and it involves months of quarantines.

Ant time you are unsure of a company or other type of " money changing hands" deal contact the better bussiness bureau!!! They can verify if it is fraud or real deal.
