the
CUSTOMER SERVICE +1( 8O5)-41O 5OO2 Phone Number +1( 8O5)-41O 5OO2 show was well received by critics and audiences. Although its script has been lost, the play has inspired subsequent works. Due to its technical innovations and nationalist themes, Black Slave's Cry to Heaven has been canonized as the first modern Western-style Chinese drama.

Requested information on a dog I saw listed on their website EnchantedWeimeraners.com. Since I saw no identifiable business information on their website, I demanded a phone and business for them, which was provided. I validated the address and proceeded to start the process. The initial deposit requested was $350 and since they wanted it via Apple Pay or Cash App, I had to setup a new account with them. I sent them $200 dollars, the daily limit on a new account (which turned out to be a monthly upload limit). After attempts via Chime and Cash App, I decided to look into Oklahoma registered dog breeders, nothing. Enchanted Weimaraners, Nothing. I looked up their phone number ************ and found charmingweimaranerpuppies.com in a filed SCAM complaint. Both web sites are exactly the same.

I wanted to buy a kitten from them so I filled out the form they have on their website. When they emailed me I saw several reg flags (grammar, etc). There is also NO phone # or address on their website which was another red flag. They wanted me to send them $600 and they would deliver the kitten to my house. Once I asked them for a phone number and full address of the business, they never responded.

I was looking for a puppy for my son. I ran across a website with puppies for a good deal. Emailed them and they contacted me thru text message. I paid $800 to have the puppy shipped and another $500 for the crate that the dog was supposed to have shipped. I have email and text messages to prove that not only was I not delivered the the and this was a fraud from the beginning.

I approached “Shelli” via her Facebook page to adopt a Maine c o o n kitten. The kitten was listed as in Dayton Ohio. She took 200$ from me as a down payment (not uncommon for this expensive breed) and then I signed a contract giving me ownership of the kitten. I provided all of my contact information so that she could register the kitten in my name. After signing the contract, I paid the additional $450. For a total of $650. After paying the adoption fee for the cat, she informed me that the cat was actually in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania. She informed me that she would have the cat shipped to me, and the shipping email was very concerning. It did not have any personal information, had lots of spelling errors, and just overall looked like a scam. When I brought this up to her, she acted surprised. She offered to let me pick up the kitten instead. So I drove 334 miles or approximately 5 1/2 hours to pick up this kitten. At this point I still had 2 hrs to go when I received another message from her. This message informed me that she was stranded due to a flat tire, and asked me to send her another $200 to help her get home. At this point, I declined to give her any more money, she informed me that I couldn’t get the cat if she wasn’t home. I requested a refund. She informed me that she couldn’t get a refund because she had already spent the money. Please do not fall for her tricks.

I was initially contacted by Philips Filippe through TikTok, where we began discussing the purchase of a female pigtail monkey. He claimed to be a licensed dealer in Virginia with 22 years of experience in selling exotic animals. Although I was initially skeptical, a conversation with another individual suggested that if he were a legitimate dealer, he would provide his driver's license and dealer licenses, which he subsequently did. Philips Filippe assured me that he had all the necessary documentation. We agreed on a deal where I would pay $300 upfront, and he would deliver the monkey to my address, with the remaining $550 due upon delivery. However, after discussing shipping details, he requested an additional $500, and then abruptly ceased all communication, leaving me without the monkey and having lost my initial $300 payment.

They pose as a cattery selling adopted Balinese kittens and also have a scam for transportation and electronic carrier rental. All was very elaborate and fake.

Advertising 750 dollar puppies and will deliver to your house in any state. Asks for 750 dollars before they will deliver. Payment was asked through Apple Pay. The scammer then delays the delivery and you never get the dog.

I was looking online for Siamese breeders and came upon the website homeofsiamese.com. It looked like a great website but did not have location information. I was so excited to put a deposit down on a kitten that I made a deposit too fast without doing proper background research. The name of the person who contacted me was Daniel Liam and this happens to be the same first name as mentioned in another post on here for a similar but different websites. This place also mentioned how the cat could be shipped with a special courier for only $250 which also aligns with the same post on here for a similar website. They also sent me a long email with questions to answer as they wanted to make sure that my home would be a great fit for their kittens. I just filed a dispute with my bank but do not know if this work. If something is too good to be true it is! I should know this by now but I let my excitement overrule my common sense and trusting nature. I feel very stupid but hope this post will help others from making the same mistake.

I was online looking for a Persian kitten. His website came up and I contacted him. He had a picture of a gorgeous blue-eyed kitten. I was excited but he proceeded to say he had amber eyes. I questioned the eye color and asked for a picture affirming the blue eyes with a note"blue eyes". He refused. I then looked up pet scams and found his information. Total scam! He should be prosecuted. Sweet innocent people looking for a beautiful companion kitty and he is stealing their money. I hope you can shut him down!

I met this person on a site called Puppies.com. I was interested in a long-haired Chihuahua named Luna. The person and I exchanged numbers. He/she told me the dog costs $300, and shipping to my closest airport would be $100, making the total $400.

For the first payment, I had a friend send $200 through Zelle on 3/6/25. We had an agreement that I would put a deposit on the dog, and she would not sell it to anyone else. I told her I would send the remaining $200 when I got home to my state so she could ship the dog to me.

We stayed in contact ever since. Last night, 3/13/25, I created an Apple Pay account because she said she accepts it. I connected my Cash App to Apple Pay and told her I was ready to send my last payment. I sent the payment twice to different numbers she gave me, but both times, it didn’t go through and was sent back to me. The third time, it went through because she gave me another number to try.

I then received a text message claiming to be from Apple Pay, stating that I would get a refund in 24 hours. The message literally said:

"Apple Pay: For your protection, your $195 payment to 13478946181 was returned to your bank account and will be available to you in the next 24 hours."

I have all the proof in our messages and would like to send them to you. I also sent a screenshot showing that the payment was delivered, but she kept claiming she never received it.

I called Apple Pay, and they told me they don’t send out text messages like that—it’s a scam. They confirmed that she accepted the payment and advised me to file a police report. I even recorded our call, so I have proof that the scammer received the payment. They also told me to contact Cash App to see if I could get my money back.

I contacted Cash App because I saw that the payment was still pending, and I was trying to cancel it before it was completed. Cash App told me to wait 2-3 days for it to complete and then dispute it, which is frustrating because I don’t deserve to be scammed. I work very hard for my money.

I wanted to adopt a dog that the breeder said it was $400. I paid her a $100 deposit then she said she would use a transportation company to get the dog to me. She claims she spent $150 for the transport

When the company got the dog, they sent me a message and told me they needed $600 for the crate rental after I pay that then they wanted $800 for the vet visit for the vaccinations and a check up. They told me that was the last payment then I got another email and it said that they needed $600 for a microchip and registration. I told him I was not sending them any more money and all they’re doing is harassing me at that point I knew it was a scam. They keep pressuring me to go get gift cards to send the balance so they can bring me the dog. I know there is no dog. I just don’t get how people do this.

It started off very innocent in adopting one of their dogs that they had. It then began to escalate to more fees and becoming one of their many partners that they have around the world. Each time needing more fees to set up partnership or release my “REFUND” as they called it until they were requiring $264,000.00. I have never received a cent back from them. The telephone is an international phone number. The phone number is +61 21 906975 (It is incorrect on previous page - couldn’t place the correct number in there)

I initially thought that all I needed to do to have the kitten delivered to my home was pay a deposit of $***. However, after making that first payment and speaking with the delivery agent, I learned that I had to make additional payments. I paid $*** for the delivery fee and another $*** for crate rental. They then requested an extra $** for a vaccine because one of the kittens became sick. I informed them that I would not send any more money and demanded a refund for the funds I had already sent.

It's been a week, and I am now behind on my rent. They are asking for an additional $*** to process my refund, citing "agency policy." When I requested to see this policy and mentioned that I would involve the Better Business Bureau (BBB), they dismissed my claims and did not believe that their actions were fraudulent or a scam.
