We want to buy a puppy for our kids and find the page “cocker spaniel for adoption” and after we speak with lady details and she provide us photo and confirmation with puppy we send via zelle money on number +1 (743) 238-1853

Next day I was reached from flypetsfor state.com that our puppy is on his way and they send us a tracking number but they ask us to send another 1600$ Via zelle or cash app, western union…for pet isurance, without any invoices or official site where to pay, when we ask a official link to pay they send me via email a document like invoice but very unprofessional with mistakes and very strange. Of course we didn’t send anything because it’s look like a scam

But they start to write us that the pet will be taken to quarantine and we will need to pay all pays for that

The number that try to ask us to send money is +1 (949) 414-8305

Email [email protected]

I’m afraid now what can happen, is this a scam and I will not see our money back?

  The cat breeder made me believe they sell Balinese Kittens. They kept insisting to give them my information with bank info see below:

Your full names................

Full home address.............

State/City....................

Postal/zip code................

Contact numbers................

Nearest airport to your location...............

What Bank will you be using to make payment for the Kitten?.....

the two kittens are $900. I asked how much is shipping all the way to my door he texted saying 200$. (note the $ is at the end of the number that's red

Flag for me that they are not from Placerville, CA. And not from USA. The guy called me I answered and I noticed he had an African accent like he is from Nigeria or Cameroon. So I knew this is a scam. How can you ship two kittens with a human nanny for $200. It's a total scam. Please warn many people about this fake website and fake breeder

Ryan offered me a puppy for $950. He was out of state and said the dog would arrive by plane in a few hours. He wanted me to get the money right away through Zelle which I needed to go to my bank to transfer money. He said I could pay him in gift cards. He wouldn't answer any of my questions about the money or dog. He wouldn't even give me his last name. He is still online selling dobermans.

This lady said she had yorkies she couldn't keep. All I needed was to pay rehoming fees. I asked to see them and no response only to pay deposit. When I decided not move forward she wouldn't send the money back.

The scammer made everything seem really true far as shipping to pet to me etc. I paid for the dog and for it to be shipped and I haven’t received the dog yet and now I can’t get in contact with anybody.

Their website looked legit and asked for a deposit to buy a dog (corgi). On Venmo they had other public payments and asked for this payment to be public to look legit. They said they’d send paperwork after payment was received and stopped all communication

The scammer has a website where they advertise Doberman puppies for sale. I sent money through Zelle to secure the puppy and shipping insurance. The day the puppy was to be shipped they asked for more money, it was at that point I realized no puppy would be sent. The website is still very active. I serve this country proudly in the United States Army and would like to see justice prevailed. At best the website shut down.

You can not contact them directly, you must inquire about a puppy then they will contact you. This should definitely be investigated.

Buying a corgi at www.corgipuppiesvilla.com price 800.00 and shipped. Sent money thru PayPal said it didn’t go through. Told to get gift cards , vanilla Visa cards. Send pics of cards front and back. Then the carrier said I had to send 940.00 through Zelle for crate to transportation because breeder did have correct crate sent told me it didn’t go through either and get gift cards all of which came out of my account. Spent over 4000.00 for a dog I don’t have just shame on them. And the pet transportation co is Pet Runner Logistics. Both scammers. Check the site and same dogs are always for sale. I want them shut down.

Scammer wants $400 wired to them before you can drive over and see a puppy that they have discounted half of other similar puppies also offering free shipping coupons! When questioned they resorted to derogatory remarks

An individual named David is attempting to scam those looking for border collie puppies. I reached out initially thinking they were legit just to find out they are a complete scam as their phone number is linked to numerous puppy scams amongst multiple breeds. When I asked if they were certified and/or registered, he hung up on me.

The website looks legit and updated. I inquired about a ball python via email, and got a response within 2 hours. I put the order through PayPal the next day and got a very convincing email receipt with all the information and pictures with mailing address and all. But the next day I received another email asking for a 100% refundable guarantee alive delivery fee of $200. I waited a few hours before just forking over money and then I get a phone call from “Lawrence” (770-322-4039) and he stated he was in charge of handling the shipping and assured me I would get the money back upon delivery and that this was a very common way of shipping snakes during the winter. So I give him the $200 though PayPal again. The shipping website they used is cargoway-logistics.com and I was supplied a tracking number. Everything again seemed legit and it was updated once I forked over the $200. I was supposed to receive the package today but I got another text from “Lawrence” stating the snake was being held for inspection due to strict regulations for bugs and pest and that I would need to pay another $200 to get it expedited and guarantee live delivery. I responded stating I already paid and I would not be paying anymore. “Lawrence” then called me stating this had to happen or he could not guarantee delivery. And after speaking to him I felt very uneasy just because of the way he was speaking, it was not professional at all. I told him I was not paying another cent, and he hung up. I reached out to xzreptiles Facebook page asking for them to call me and I also sent another email requesting to speak to them about the shipping issues. I did not get a phone call but I got a response via email stating they had nothing to do with shipping and that I would need to do what they ask to ensure I receive my package. I have tried to file a dispute through PayPal but since it was paid via “friends and family” I can not receive any funds back.

We purchased a kitten from Furbulous Cats and Kittens based in Charlotte, NC. Furbulous hired this company Rokaways Pet Transportation Services to ship the kitten. Upon arrival at the transportation office I was notified by email that the crate provided by Furbulous was not adequate for the flight. Rokaways Pet Transportation offered three thermal crates for transport to protect the kitten. One was $850, $1,000 or $1,300. I went with the $850 option. They wanted the payment through Zelle. I am not set up with Zelle so they then sent instructions to get two prepaid Visa Cards from Walmart. Unfortunately, I did. I checked the airline to see if the flight schedule they sent me was real. I confirmed the flights, so I proceeded to send them the pictures of the cards as instructed. I then started receiving text messages from Rokaways updating the flights that the kitten was on. Then at approximately 650 pm pst I received a notice from Rockaway that the kitten needed pet insurance to continue his flight. The required amount due was $1,500.00 refundable upon delivery. The kittens next flight was supposed to be in 45 minutes. I then received two phone calls, which I did not answer because I was writing a text message stating I was not giving them anymore money and that I was reporting this to our local Sheriffs Department.

This morning we called American Airlines to see if they had this kitten at all. According to the agent we spoke to no live animals were on or scheduled to be on any of the listed flights they provided us.
