Online pet purchase scam Reports & Reviews – Page 11 (212)

This so called dog breeder asked for money boot me to even come see the puppies. Wanted deposit sent first

I was about to buy a husky and they ask for money transfer $780

We paid a refundable reservation fee to a person who advertised himself to be a legitimate dog breeder for a possible puppy. He asked for additional money which we refused to give. We asked for a refund of our reservation fee and he has failed to do so.

BE VERY LEARY ABOUT THIS WEBSITE. THEY ARE IN BED WITH ATLANTIC EXPRESS CARRIERS. THEY CHARGE FOR THE DOG. THEY CHARGE FOR CRATE FEE. THEY CONVENIENTLY FORGOT THAT THERE IS INSURANCE FEE. THAT DELIVERY FEE. SHIPPING FEE. THEN THEY ASKED FOR A NANNY FEE TO FEED AND CARE FOR PUPPY. FEES ARE $200.00 TO SHIP. $200.00 FOR DELIVERY. $2000.00 FOR CRATE DEPOSIT ( REFUNDABLE) $1700.00 FOR INSURANCE ($1500.00 REFUNDABLE) $500.00 FOR NANNY SERVICE. WEBSITE SAYS 700.00 FOR PUPPY BUT CHARGE 900.00. NOT TRANSPARENT AND NOT HONEST.

THREATENING ME WITH JAIL TIME AND REPORTING FOR ANIMAL ABUSE. GAVE ME PROMISES AND VIDEOS AND TRACKING NUMBERS. WILL TALK TO YOU ON THE PHONE BUT MAKES EXCUSES FOR EVERYTHING. NOTHING WAS REFUNDED. THEY STOPPED ALL COMMUNITCATIONS. HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TO TALK WITH AUTHORITIES.

Please be aware of this online puppy sales scam. I was concerned because the pricing seemed to good to be true. The scammer emailed pictures and videos of an adorable maltipoo (probably stolen pictures from a legit site). He also claimed he was Christian and would never steal someone’s money in response to some of the questions I asked. He refused to do a FaceTime which was another big clue that I was dealing with a scammer. He also sent a contract with a company name different from the website company name. Thankfully I did my research and eventually put two and two together before sending any money. I’m posting to prevent others from being scammed. Pay to deal with a reputable breeder for the peace of mind, preferably a puppy you can see and meet real-time.

Hi good evening. I am not a fake i was a customer until i finished my transactions and that's when it started. I went online cause i was searching for a yorkie puppy and saw this ad from these supposed to be breeders. One they are not located in New York they are out of state . What i thought was a pretty good site and the prices were reasonable compared to what i was seeing on other web sites. I got in contact with the company and they contact me back like they said in a good reasonable time. We started the process everything was going fine I sent my information on where i lived and sent them the deposit and then i sent the rest of the money so i could get the dog shipped to me. The shipping carry is a fraud also cause everything was fine with them also but they want extra fees to ship dog which that was not in the agreement they said they would pay that for me but i had to send extra . I did cause we were in good standard and once the whole process went through. I did not here from them anymore no more email or text i could not contact the owner of the company cause the phone was disconnect and the shipping company there line was also disconnect. i advise anyone that sees this ad and wants a puppy do not do it with them they are scammers.

These people sell puppies, send you all information and contract of purchase and warranty, once you pay them, they say the have shipped the dog. After that you get an email from “the shipping company” Speed Line Movers” (https://speedlinem.com/about-us.php“ and they say you need to pay for a shipping crate that goes from $950 to $1,500 and as to expect the owner of the company disappears and never responds to your messages STAY AWAY! These people are common thieves.

I came across this website looking for a maltipoo puppy. The website informed me the breeder was in business for over 8 years. I was sent many pictures of the puppy and even had a phone call with the owner. When I spoke to him, his accent was very thick and had a lot of loud noise in the background. After numerous e-mails and texts, I decided to start the process to purchase the puppy. I printed out the contract and warranty and it seemed acceptable. The puppy was $800 and the shipping cost was $100. The owner wanted $500 deposit but ONLY through zelle or google pay. He stated that was the only method of payment. I texted him and told him I did not feel comfortable sending money that way. I never heard from him again. I then had a strong feeling I almost got scammed. Thank goodness I did not send him any money. I then found out scammers frequently ask for money through apps beacuse they are not easily traced. I then reseached the website and found out it was established only 16 days before our initial contact. I believe scammers have multiple websites they keep up and then take down after they get money. I truly believe there was never a puppy and this was a definite scam. Be careful when they ask you to only send money through, zelle, venmo, google pay, etc.... I have heard since Covid, these puppy or dog scams have been on the rise. Just do your research and be aware of the business.
