I contacted this breeder about the potential purchase of Vino. The man was extremely rude to me when I refused to hurry up and purchase the puppy and asked that we do a telephone call or a zoom call so that I could see the puppy in real time. He wanted money up front and told me I was bothering him with all my questions. I did a search of the website and the "parents" that are supposedly breeding the puppies is an image stolen from another website.

Was interested in purchasing baby chicks from them! They quoted $100 for 8 baby chicks! I purchased a gift card for that amount and sent them a picture of said gift card! They then stated I would need a special crate for shipment which would cost an additional $200! Purchased the gift cards for that amount and sent a picture of said cards! They then stated that I needed two crates for and additional $200 because I would need the two crates! I then requested to cancel my order and was told I couldn’t cancel and to just send the additional $200!

I went to google to inquire about purchasing a puppy for my husband who has stage 4 cancer for support. I tpyed top labrador retriever puppies and the 1st one that come up was top elite labrador retriever puppies adverstising puppies for $600 to ****. (site still active & should be shut down ASAP) I have several emails and proof of all conversations and cell phone #'s as proof. fist he tells me $600 and send to apple pay to his account ********** or Zelle to caleb Taylor [email protected], then he tells me there is a $200 fee to have puppy delivered to my house so total $800,

I sent him apple pay, next i get an email from Comfort clouds shippers J. Watson pet customer transportation dep, Minneapolis, minnesota, Nationwide phone# 507-200-0005 stating the puppy needs special crate fee of $980 which $950 is 100% refundable once I get the puppy, he provided me with apple pay # ********** (transaction ID#************) or Zelle Enosh Sapong [email protected]. I sent apple pay to him and then I recieved another email from Enosh Sapong stating puppy now needs insurance to travel and it's another $890 which again is 100% refundable as gives me another apple pay # **********. At this point I felt something wrong. I went back and forth with both people & called them out that this is fraud and calling police, they insisted it not and continued to email me (have all proof), I called my bank (**) and told them what was going on and filed fraud. So I am out of money and no puppy for my husband. These people knew my situation and still continued to scam me!! I want this website to be removed from google and am going to press charges. I do not want anyone else to go through what I haveand still going through. It's insane that they got away with this. I have proof of all this with emails, text, bank documents .

They advertised teacup yorkie puppies. They said they would deliver them anywhere in the United States. They sent me information to my email but asked that I answer the questions in a text. They said they needed the money before I got the two dogs. When I called their phone # it said the number cannot be reached as dialed. When I called again it said it was not in service.

I saw a website for teacup puppies for sale. I was interested and agreed to pay $300 for puppy. Sent 1st payment via Zelle for $200. It went through, then reversed. So, breeder/seller ask to send apple gift card. I sent $200 apple gift card, understanding final $100 would be given at delivery of puppy. The freight Co became involved. They needed $193 to cover proper care and prevent any damages. In addition, a $420 apple card payment sent to the breeder/seller who said he'd help. The breeder/seller said the apple card it was a bad card, and wanted another one. i told I wasn't going to. A day later, and after many emails, I did get another apple card for $420. So, all was good for a while. Puppy was to be enroute. The freight company came back in and says they need $790 for state permit. I told I was done, out of funds. The breeder/seller I am responsible for the puppy sinced the breeder/seller placed my name on document stating I was to be the owner. He now says I could be charged for "Animal Endangerment" and could be fined $3000 and 2 years in prison. Note, all monies paid I was to be refunded if I sent the $790. Also no puppy.

This person is pretending to be a dog breeder. They stole $500 from my friend. She drove from NY to VA to pick up a puppy that doesn’t exist, because they sent her a website to a dog transport company that was asking for loads of money upfront. They gave her the address **** ***** *** *** Dr, Chantilly, VA 20151, USA

She drove out there, they stopped answering her.

These people are scammers, do not send them money.

We lost a puppy at 10 weeks, found this rescue online, was talking to this lady for hrs via text, told her the dog that we wanted, she said $250 for dog and delivery, which we sent, was asking her when I will get my dog? She stated the dog is at the delivery service which will cost you $800 to send the dog, she never once told us about the delivery fee, all she said was the ,$250 includes delivery,which I have all the messages, I demanded a refund of my money, since this was a scam, she blocked me, now local police and state police are involved, after I told her the police were involved, she still insisted I send the 800 dollars

My brother is a disabled Veteran and recently his service dog passed away. In his distraught state he attempted to purchase a dog similar to his own. This person named Thomas set up the sale and scammed him. The person Thomas had a thick accent over the phone (to use as an identification tool if he calls). Has now tried to make additional debits from my brothers bank account as well.

$300 was for cage and paperwork to fill out and file($100per bird)i paid and he was to deliver( he would pay for his gas to drive them up) because 2 days and nothing i gave incentive if delivered on day 3 when he gets to my house i will gift him $50. Day 4 and 5 fuzzy because i was suffering a stroke. Day 6 offered $100 if delivered on day 6. He demanded i give him the gift money first on a card even knowing i suffered a stroke he didnt care he wanted gift money first then he will deliver when he feels like it. So he is witholding/stealing my property and to extort $100 even though never delivered birds on day 6 so now its day 8 and he still demands i pay $100 the money i now need for taxi's. I recinded the offer since he never delivered on day 6 so keeping a steoke victims property and extorting $100 more money on a gift that he would recoeve if delivered

The photos of the puppies listed on the site are stolen from random users on Instagram and the breeders refuse to say were they are located.

Scammer is very aggressive about asking for money for the puppy without agreeing to show you the puppy, even through video call.

My daughter found 2 kittens on this website. It did seem legit because it was with photos, videos, a contract, etc… However, I did a google search of the kittens before I sent my money and found the kittens on instagram living with their actual owners and the kittens have grown up. Once I mentioned this they quit responding. Glad we realized it was a pet scam and didn't send money.
