On Monday, Google sued a scammer<\/a> for allegedly running an online \u201cpuppy fraud scheme,\u201d defrauding vulnerable people, including the elderly, out of thousands of dollars with false promises of purebred puppies. <\/p>\n

The complaint, filed Monday, accuses Nche Noel of Cameroon of using a network of fake websites, Google Voice phone numbers, and Gmail accounts to pretend to sell purebred basset hound puppies to people online. In one instance, a victim paid Noel $700 in \u201celectronic gift cards\u201d to purchase a puppy. After sending the gift cards, Noel continued to string along the victim, telling them that the delivery company needed an additional $1,500. According to the complaint, the puppy never arrived. <\/p>\n
