I paid the seller for the item, then the shipping company said that I need to pay for shipping which was $350, then stamps $300, then insurance $350, then late fee $350, now asking for $400 for crate delivery of a puppy, that I did not order.

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.

Senior Mother paid for a Teacup Maltese Puppy via Gift Card, yes I know it was a bad idea, but did not know about it until afterwards. This payment was made. Puppy was supposedly sent to International Deliveries Agency for delivery via a driver in a car. The delivery company asked for money via gift card for a delivery charge and then more money for a crate. Against my better judgement, I helped my Mother secure funds up to this point. Once these funds were received by delivery service, they came back and asked for a substantial amount more for insurance purposes. This is where we stopped. I am notifying everyone involved - ISP for delivery service, bank, credit card company, gift card company, FTC, and yes BBB. This type of fraud has to stop somehow. I know nothing will be done and no funds will be retrieved, but i hope the next Daughter who loves their Mother learns from my mistake and keeps her foot down when she says no to her mother for their own piece of mind.

I was looking to buy a Mainecoon kitten and found this breeder on line. I reached out to them and filled out the adoption process and I paid the deposit via apple pay and then Dec. 1st made the final payment again via apple pay. Once the day comes for delivery of the kitten, the delivery company then tells me there is all the all the surprise fees for the kitten to be delivered. I paid a $500 fee for a rental carrier and once I paid that one then came another fee for insurance, which was $1000. I did not pay that fee and started questioning things and I never received my kitten.

business/website claimed to sell puppies. I reached out via email, also spoke over the phone with the person to claimed to be selling dogs. After receiving pictures and information about the adoption process, I was

told I would be sent a contract and have the puppy shipped to me within 24 hours of payment. I made payment and received no answers through email or over the phone. After persistent calls to the phone number the person I then spoke to alleged he needed to speak to his father about the arrangement I paid for and would get back to me in two hours. This was 48 hours ago.

Website on Facebook showing a number of young pets and puppies. We kept contact via email but at the time of sending the payment something was off. I got a phone number to send the payment via Zelle but the number was from Illinois. That didn't seat right then it down on me that they had too many expensive dogs breed puppies. Also, when you adopt you pay the shelter not some guy via Zelle. He asked me to use Paypal. I'm waiting to see what he came come up with next. It's sad they're doing this.

I was connected on Facebook to Miley Rose who’s presenting herself as sugar glider hobbie breeder. Offering free next day delivery of a sugat glider for 250 / for 1 or 400$ for 2. Requires 50% deposit and other half paid upon delivery. I paid the deposit with Zelle to a bank account under Elijah Hall with phone number 706-877-4524, sent me the bill of sale, once I signed it, Miley Rose changed the conditions and demanded full payment or won’t deliver. Well after all I’m not stupid to spend and other 125 to try to get back 125 than after 250 so I refused to pay it. I consider this very bad business practice as is when you try to change terms after we signed papers. It’s unlawful and if you try this, you clearly can not be trusted. At the begging she seemed like willing to refund my deposit but that that turned out to be “ no refund will be issued” somehow. At this point I don’t know if this person breeding any sugar gliders or not, maybe she got 1 but I don’t think she breeding anything but bad intentions to others and rip off scams. The sugar glider page since got renamed to something else “ matching entrepreneur with righ angle businesses “ or smtng like it so clearly this person seems shady. After all thinking this thru over and over again, I think bill of sale was for to get ur personal signature, who knows for what, 125$ deposit for to find and match u with ur bank account. She has the address for delivery reasons an other personal info she collected but since I’m not doing fraud I’m not sure what these collected informations can be used for or where could be abused.

So out of my desperation I came here too, file a report and hope that someone one day will take the time and find this person to be held accountable. Disgusting some peoples, unbelievable how scammers becoming more and more creative with less and less morals. Shames of humanity, because there are levels in dirty and this is just filthy as can be, so dirty. The fact that she’s targeting mainly children and mothers is disgusting and so low grade even between criminal's. A thief from a store is way more classy compared to this person or someone like her.

We reached out about a potential puppy and we received an email within minutes. The email was riddled with grammatical and punctual errors, and seemed too good to be true. They texted and seemed very responsive. However, I looked up the phone number and saw it was the same as a previous puppy scam.
