I was contacted through a Facebook Group by one of their "administrators" stating he is a dog breeder. There were numerous posts by other people in the group giving good reviews about him. He told me the puppy would cost $500 total, and then asked me to pay him $300 for the deposit of the puppy. I paid him $300 through Zelle and after receiving my payment, he told me that he would need an additional $200 for the paperwork and registration fees for the puppy. I stated that this extra $200 was never told to me from the beginning, and then clarified with him that I would not be asked to pay any additional money after this. He confirmed that. He then told me he was dropping the puppy off with the shipment company. He sent me a link to their website and a tracking number. I was then contacted by the shipment company via text message and was told that I needed to pay $600 to rent a crate for the puppy, or $1500 to buy the crate from them. And that I would be refunded the difference of the crate once the puppy was delivered to me. That's when I became very suspicious. I contacted the telephone number listed on the shipping company's website several times and the telephone number rang once and went to voicemail. I was then called back from the telephone number that had texted me and they asked me once again to pay for the crate fee. I told them I would not pay them unless it was through PayPal or if it was directly through the shipping company's secure website portal. They said they would only take Cash App, or offered for me to make a payment through flutterwave.com, a company that originates in Africa and accepts credit card payments. After this, I ran a search on the shipment company, https://unitedlogisticscargofreight.com, to find an article on Petscams.com stating "You are, at this very moment, being targeted in what is known as an “Advance fee fraud” scheme. Operating under the guise of a legitimate delivery company, Unitedlogisticscargofreight.com is, in fact, a front for this nefarious fraudulent operation." The original contact would not offer me a refund.

Reached out to me via text after a web inquiry about a puppy on her website. Had me fill out info, including drivers license and SSN due to the paperwork for the AKC. Had me send a deposit via Venmo of $300. Then I found out this site is a scam and accused her of this and she offered to send me money back. Once money cleared my account she no longer answers calls or texts.

Bassett breeder posted they had Bassett hounds to sell. They asked for 1/2 down and then the rest in person. The breeder insisted they deliver because they liked to see where their puppies were going. We settled on Thursday the 26th. He said he was coming from Mobile. Today, Tuesday morning the 24th I get a message that he was registering the dog to be shipped. I wasn't sure why he was doing this as we had agreed on Thursday not Tuesday. He gave some story about his grandson and he wasn't able to make the trip today. I reminded him that we had agreed on Thursday. He said he was already at the shipping company and he'd just go ahead and send the puppy. I said ok. Next thing I know I'm getting a message from the shipping company that I needed to send a $600 fee through apple pay for the shipping and that it would most likely be refundable. I refused as this was not our agreement. I'm pretty certain the shipping company didn't exist either. You could only find it online if you used the link they sent. We ended up having a conversation on facebook messenger call and he was extremely rude and said he was going to turn me in for animal abandonment. He said that since the dog was sitting at the shipping company and I refused to pay the extra $600 then I was abandoning the dog. He also told me I was a rude and a disrespectful woman and that he wanted to speak to my husband. It appears that not only does the dog not exist but that this man is operating a business that doesn't exist but he's also running at least one business that doesn't exist

My Grandmother lost her husband a while back and was wanting a companion. She got a paper from our local shelter and Beryl Teacup was attached to the link under Yorkies. After conversing, she felt comfortable going through with it, so i helped her. We sent a $300 deposit, then a week later sent the remaining $450 to have the puppy flow out to us. They told us they would finish the sales contract and flight paperwork and get back to us. They then asked for an additional $900.00 for "insurance" and that it would be refunded after the flight. She asked them to refund her money and they told us they would send it back if we povided a paypal, zelle, or cashapp that they could send back the $600 since they had already paid for the plane ticket. I have been unable to get the refund back from them yet.
