Michael's Miniature Schnauzers Reports & Reviews (4)

I found his webpage and there were adorable puppies on there. I sent a message that I was interested in Coco, he 1st texted and then emailed me, it was pretty quick. He said I had to use Zelle, and I wasn’t going to pay a monthly fee, so he said to go get a vanilla Visa card. I did and gave him the numbers to pay for the puppy. The price didn’t include shipping, because he said that was free. The night before the puppy was to be delivered, I had some transportation guy. Allying me and said I had to pay $1, 200 for the shipping. I refused to do so, since I was told shipping was included. This guy called me 5 times and became aggravated and rude with me. I finally hung up on him. I spoke with Michael one more time, he said he didn’t have the money to cover the cost, because his daughter was sick in the hospital. When I mentioned that I had seen these reviews, he got irritated and rude, then he hung up on me. I called the visa gift card phone number and reported the situation to regain my money back. She told me he spent $500 at Walgreens. What, what, what? My next call is to the police tomorrow. I won’t let him get away with this.

We wanted to purchase a schnauzer from their website, so we contacted and started emailing back and forth. They would not answer my questions straight and seemed like they did not even read them. The language seemed a bit strange and one email had paragraphs repeated. They insisted we payed and after preparing payment through Zelle, our bank was put on hold. They insisted we contact them to work out an option and after many times trying to tell him we had to wait a day to call our bank, he seemed to get aggravated. He also stated that they were based in New Orleans and after reading some testimonies, we found that there were many different things that didn’t add up. This seemed too good to be true, so we decided to not take the risk of a scam.

If you are going to try to purchase a puppy through this website, please be aware of the risks and make sure to read reviews before making a payment. It was thanks to this other review that we decided to not risk it.

I so wish I had seen this before giving him money. I am so angry and upset over my situation. I have filed a claim to get my money back, after finding out he spent $500 at Walgreens. I also had some guy who was shipping the dog calling me every 30mins to say I owed him $1,200 to ship the puppy. He stated I would get a refund when the puppy arrived. I finally caught on to the scam. I will be calling the police tomorrow to report him!

Reported details

Phone: 5043748151
Website: www.michaelsminiatureschnauzer.com
Address: OH, USA
Email: [email protected]
Country: United States
Type of a scam: Online Purchase

The website has pictures of schnauzer puppies immediately available. I completed the online form for more info and received a text message followed by an email fairly quickly. The "application" was very short and the fee was lower than other breeders. During our email exchange, the language used was very typical of the way scammers write (for example saying he was in "Ohio USA"). The person insisted on shipping the puppy using a mysterious pet delivery service, and would not answer my specific questions or let me pick up in person. The company has no online presence except a Facebook page which doesn't have reviews or former customers. https://www.facebook.com/michaelminisohio

I became suspicious and told him I was no longer interested. I did not lose money.
