The scammer has a website Little Paws Doxie Dachshounds and Instagram Little_Paws_Doxie_Dachshounds advertising the sale of puppies. However once they get the deposit, they keep trying to get you to send more money that is supposed to be covered by the deposit. They said the deposit was refundable but I have spend 3 days telling them to refund me the money and all they do is keep trying to get me to send more money. Now they keep texting me trying to get me to send more money and refuse to send me my deposit back. I looked at their Google reviews and there are a lot of people posting that they are a scam and stole money from them too. I am now in dispute with Venmo to try and get my money back and have also reported them to Google.

I was looking for a dog breeder and came across this site: https://sugarbernesemountainhome.com/

I completed a form for requesting more information on a dog I was interested in. I was contacted by email and was asked to answer questions about my experience with dogs, among other things. A supposed bill of sale was made. I was provided with payment instructions and tried to pay the full $900, but thankfully my bank places a $500 cap on new recipients. I tried to send the rest today, but my bank canceled the payment because the Zelle email address had been tagged as fraudulent (although I’m not sure why that wasn’t the case either the first $500). I contacted the supposed breeder to let them know that my bank wasn’t letting me send the payment and they got more pushy with me. Then I for sure knew it was a scam. I tried to play dumb to get my money back, but the supposed kamisha got really pushy and was trying to get me to send money to her fiancé’s Zelle. I then said that she was being rude and asked to have my money returned and of course, she went radio silent.

I’m searching for Golden Retriever puppies, went into this website, they have pics of puppies who are currently available. Prices are only $600 (too cheap-red flag!) Contacted them for more info, emailed me next day with more info (requested info from me but no personal info). Bottom of email had pics of puppy I was interested in. Searched pics online and found same pictures on 14 different websites dating back from at least 2017 and some as current as 3 years ago. Posting pics they posted VS internet findings

I purchased a corgi puppy from https://royalpembrokecorgis.com/ where I signed a contract to purchase a dog named Loki from the "seller." I communicated with the person through email ([email protected]) and text (615 988 5152). Thought I had my skepticism about going forward with the sale I went through with it. I paid the user $850 through Zelle on the Bank of America app. It was then when the seller became very uncommunicative and I noticed their communication through text message to be very unclear and unhelpful. I was told I'd receive more information regarding the flying and the pick up of the dog the next day. They refused to answer questions about how and where and how I would pick up the puppy.

The following day I received an email from fake delivery service [email protected] pretending to transport the dog. After I responded to the email they proceeded to ask me for more money. I copy and pasted part of the email below. It wasn't until seeing this that I realized that I am a victim of a fraud attempting to take more money from me.

"This is in accordance with our rules and regulation of pet importation and exportation, { Adopted by the US congress on: 18 Dec 1990 } which states that we can not take the risk to deliver a live animal without the insurance policy covered. Therefore you have to pay for the insurance charges of your baby before we can proceed with the shipping & delivery process.

Payment Options. We have two payment options for the insurance policy, below are the different options which you have to choose from to pay for the insurance of your baby , so it’s either you pay for A or B; A) You pay a sum of $1000 which is 98% refundable to you in cash at your Door step at the point of delivery of your Puppies OR ?? You pay a sum of $500 which is non refundable. We want to assure you the safety of your baby is our greatest concern, and also that once we deliver your baby to you at your Home, the money you are going to pay for the insurance will be fully rhefundable to you if you choose to pay for either option (A). But if you choose option (B) the money you are going to pay will be non refundable.

NB:

We will refund your money in full Cash app

CASH APP

ZELLE

CREDIT CARD

APPLE PAY"

I know these people will attempt to take more money from people as part of this scheme. I spoke to my bank and I'm hoping to be reimbursed for my money but I'm not sure it will.

I purchased a puppy from what I thought was a reputable breeder. I asked a great deal of information including breeding information, photos of the parents and a video of the puppy. They claimed to have shipped the puppy after I paid $950. via Zelle. Then, another company contacted me asking for another $1,950 because they did not use an approved carrier. The original seller was no longer available to be reached. I then realized the shipping company was a fake copy of the authentic shipping company "Continental Pet Relocation."

This was a new type of scam to me. The scammers claimed to have a special breed of puppy available. They asked for payment in advance of delivery in the form of Zelle. The promised dog was never shipped.

Scammer presented a professional Website. The website had a menu and reviews. It also, had pictures of puppies for sale and to contact through email provided. Exposed as a Cane Corso breeder for puppies. Had to pick a puppy send a deposit of 200 dollars through a cash app for my Theo Dog identifier $Ieparisien237 Hashtag Name Parisien then sent cash to the same person $700 more once the bill of sales contract was made and done by Steve Nestel. The contract was signed and dated by myself and Steve Nestel. The Fees included transporting the puppy to my home town Philadelphia Pennsylvania anf my home address through pet continental relocation county service. I received a phone call from the manager there stating the puppy is a full thero breed came corso and it was gonna mis the flight and could not be delivered due to the puppy being in a inproper crate or box with no ventilation. The manager emailed and personally text me at this number 263 264-1190 to inform me of this and that the puppy will be in quarantine if I can't afford to pay for one of their high tech crates costing between 1200 and 3000 dollars. I could not reach the breeder although the website and email are still active. The company never took down the puppy Theo that I suppose to have purchased and own. Licence akf transfer and all necessary paperwork presented to be done, but no puppy and no more email responses or phone responses to me.

The dog was posted for $650 and shipping was $100 so I payed $750. And we agreed everything was covered and I would get her on march 20. On the day of delivery he then wanted me to pay another $1000 to have it shipped with out any insurances I would get the money back. I also found out the site he was using to ship her was a scam. Now he will not refund me my money.

I found the puppies for sale through google. I contacted the breeder via their website. I was contacted back by the breeder and was told the puppies were $750 because they had a new litter coming and needed to get the last of the previous liter adopted.

Was sent detailed information on cost and shipping through USPSFIDELITY. On the day of shipment I received an email from shipping that the dog required a special carrier and it would cost an extra $1500. I questioned the cost to the breeder since it was never outlined in the emailed agreement. We agreed to pay a refundable 1000 and the breeder would pay the other 500.

Once that was complete we were told the dog need a health screening. Upon “screening” I received another email stating they would need 2900 for vaccinations. Again I emailed the breeder as in the email agreements she stated clearly all vaccines and micro chipping would be taken care of in their end and I would only need to see my vet when we received the dog and send confrontation the dog was seen.

I refused to pay the 2900. The breeder went back and forth with me about splitting the cost and fully refundable. I continued to refuse to the payment and instructed the breeder to either pay it herself, take back the puppy and send me back my payments or hear from my lawyer.

No further contact has been had. My husband knew it was a scam and I should have listened but I was so excited to get an English bulldog puppy my heart over rode my brain and guy. I’m including the link for the shipping company and the link for the website https://uspsfidelity.com/track-your-shipment/

Angela was offering yorkies and bulldog pups. She just asked to pay a rehoming fee. Rehoming fee was $250. I told her I was out of town but would be coming to Page for a funeral. She asked for a deposit fee of $125 to hold the yorkie. After going back in forth, I sent $125 thru Zelle. She insisted she didn’t receive it and wanted to thru a different platform. I said no. She said to wait the next day and see if she gets it. After some back and forth, and me telling her I wanted a refund, she said she received it. She wanted me to pay a paperwork fee of 75, then 50, then 25 dollars but I told her I was not sending anymore money. I asked for her address and to meet on Friday as we agreed upon, or give me my money back. She blocked me.
