Puppy scammers do get arrested and do face jail time. This is why it is important to file a police report and a complaint with IC3 (if in the US) or scamwatch.gov.au if in Australia ect. I don't matter where the scammer is located, you should still file a complaint. Please read below..

I had initially discovered this “cattery” on 04/14/23 while looking for available Siberian Kittens. I have always adopted my cats from shelters, this is the one time I decided I’d buy a kitten. I started my inquiry about a specific Lynx Point Siberian Kitten named Thor. He was adorable, the emails back and forth provided more pictures and even a video about this supposed purchasable kitten. I initially had no reason to question the authenticity of this cattery, they had asked the proper questions about cat ownership. I eagerly responded with my over 20 years of cat ownership experience. This cattery then responded that I had been approved based on my answers to their questions. Again, I was ecstatic. The person that I was in contact with said that Zelle was the way they took their payments. I use Zelle regularly for sending money to friends and family. It wasn’t until I was in the process of sending the money that Zelle wanted to verify who I would be sending the money to. I disregarded the question of whether or not the person I was sending money to was a legitimate company because, again, I was ecstatic to receive this kitten. I hit send without hesitation. I thought I was lucky to find this small cattery that was able to provide this kitten to me. The person I was in contact with then asked how soon I would like to receive the proposed kitten. I set up a Sunday delivery after questioning the health and safety of the kitten during its travels. The individual I was speaking to via email, guaranteed the health and safety of the kitten and assured me the courier service would contact me the following day (Saturday March 15th) I had mentioned to this individual that I do not answer phone calls from numbers I do not know and verified where the number would be originating from. This individual mentioned the courier service would be an Oklahoma area code, no further information. I personally do not know Oklahoma area codes off the top of my head, this is where my questions about the authenticity of this cattery started to take over.
From this point on, my enthusiasm about the possibility of receiving a new kitten slowly faded. I have found many pictures from this “cattery” to be linked to various other websites which include other legitimate catteries, pet grooming services and articles about pets.
My last communication with this “cattery” was on 03/17/2024 at 5:53 p.m. emailing the initial contact about all of the information I had found to discredit them.
To this day 03/21/24, I have yet to receive a response from that contact.
On 03/18/24 I received an email from “Coming 2 U Pets Courier Service” initiating the delivery of this kitten. Again, this was the following morning after emailing the initial contact that I had discovered the scam that they were involved in. They had a lengthy email that listed an individual “Linda” who I had never had any contact with. There was never any last name, no physical address other than city and zip code.
Looking into this company and the logo that was displayed at the top of the email, I looked up the real company.
The email address I received from this “company” was [email protected]
The actual email address from this company is [email protected]
I have already reached out to this company to let them know someone is using their name, logo and services to fulfill their scam.
The phone number they gave me was an Ohio based area code, even though the initial contact confirmed it would be an Oklahoma based area code. Red flags all around.
I have also reached out to the catteries that had photos stolen from this site.
I know I will never get my money back, I just hope nobody ever falls for this scam. It breaks my heart that this is what people are doing nowadays.

I received a text message from 915-266-2089 from the seller with general information about the puppy. I requested an estimate of the shipping/airplane cost. The seller informed me that the puppy was $600 and the shipping delivery to my doorstep was $200 making a total of $800. The seller sent me pictures of the puppy. I let the seller know that I was interested in moving forward with the process to buy. The seller sent questions to vet me as the buyer. I answered the questions and sent the seller my contact information. The seller said that they accept payment via Zelle, CashApp or Apple Pay. I let the seller know that I preferred Zelle and the seller sent me their Zelle contact and requested a screenshot of payment confirmation. I paid via Zelle and sent the seller the confirmation screenshot. The seller informed me that they will send me the details the next day including a tracking number.
02/25/2024 – I received a text from the seller that I would receive a bill of sales contract. I received the email, and signed and returned the contract to the seller. The seller informed me that the puppy was handed over to the shipping agency and to make sure to work with the shipping agency who would be reaching out to me. I received an email from the shipping agency, Ocean Freight Carriers [email protected] (Website: https://oceanfreightcarriers.com/), informing me that I had to pay an additional $1490 for life insurance for the puppy that would be fully refunded to me once the puppy was received. I was not aware of the additional charge and began to research more information about the shipping agency. I found the following 2 links about the shipping agency and the seller’s website exhibiting fraud:
Oceanfreightcarriers.com is a scam. - PetScams.com (Link: https://petscams.com/pet-delivery-scam/oceanfreightcarriers-com/amp/)
Thunderitaliangreyhound.com is a scam. - PetScams.com (Link: https://petscams.com/puppy-scammer-list/thunderitaliangreyhound-com/amp/)
I texted the seller to let him know that I was not aware of the additional $1490 upfront cost. I called Brian at 3:09pm EST and the number said that the TextNow number was not available. I called the shipping agency 304-584-6502 at 3:13pm EST and a woman answered the phone and said “Hello”. I started to explain who I was and that I as calling about the puppy that I purchased online, and she hung up. I called back at 3:14 pm EST and the recording said that the TextNow number was not available. Brian called me from 915-266-2089 at 3:26pm EST and told me that he spoke with the shipping agency. He said that the shipping agency had a new policy requiring insurance to ship the puppy. I told him that I would like to request a refund. He said that he spent the money for hospital bills and shipping and only had $500 left that he could put towards the insurance cost, and I would pay the remaining amount and reimburse him once I receive the reimbursement for the insurance when the puppy is received. I let him know that this was unprofessional, and I was no longer interested in buying the puppy and requested a full refund and cancellation letter.
After speaking to Brian, I did more research and found that the metadata on the photos that he sent me of the puppy showed that the images were created in October of 2021. The puppy was supposed to be 11 weeks old.
