WHEN WE SAW THE FACEBOOK MARKET PLACE HAD PUPPIES, WE LOOKED AT SEVERAL SIGHTS. ONE THAT I GOT IN TOUCH WITH WAS TEACUP PUPPIES FOR SALE OR REHOMING. WE GOT IN TOUCH WITH THEM AND THE BALL WAS ROLLING. I PAID FOR 3 ROUNDS OF SHOTS 3 DIFFERENT DOGS, CRATES, GAS, PAYMENT OF THE DOG, A LOAD OF CASH FOR THEM TO GET IT HERE, AND 68K LATER, NO DOG, NO MONEY. THESE ARE PEOPLE WHO HAVE NO SOUL. THEY DO NOT MIND THAT YOU ARE BANKRUPT, IN FACT, THEY WILL ASK FOR MORE MONEY. THIS EXPERIENCE HAS BEEN HORRIBLE AND I PRAY THEY WILL NOT DO THIS TO ANYONE ELSE. I AM SURE I WAS NOT THE FIRST.

I contacted a supposed breeder/rescuer of Australian Shepherd dogs. She had an 8-week-old pup that she took to a supposed transport company to deliver this puppy to me. The initial fees were exchanged through CashApp. The puppy supposedly landed at a North Jersey airport, where some government fee was then needed. Then the puppy had to be rushed to the vet. Then is was money for her care. The following day it was more fees.Over a four-day period, there were additional fees, a crate fee (good for only 24 hours), and more transportation fees, but no dog was delivered.

Thought I was purchasing a puppy. Scheduled to drive to the address but seller had an emergency and was going to ship the puppy ground. Received shipping from a Speed Trust Express who then refused to deliver the puppy with a special crate rental of $450.

I was looking for a puppy. I contacted Friendly Dachshund about one that I saw and I loved. They said it would be $750 to get the dog flown to Green Bay Wisconsin. That was the total for the puppy and flying him to the airport. I was only able to send $200 when my bank closed for the day and had to wait for them to approve my cash app. I was lucky my bank is very picky about apps. I contacted the scammer asking for a refund. They say they are not scammers and refuse to refund!

I answered an ad about French bulldogs. They wanted $100 down then $500 upon delivery. No delivery ever happened! Said they used a professional delivery service and service wanted to charge me money before delivery. I refused.

They claim they have dobermans for sale. They ask for half down. These photos they share are stolen from Instagram. For example, Furio was offered for sale and Furio is actually an adult male doberman owned by someone else.

I filled out an application to adopt a rottweiler/beagle puppy named Tundra from them. They asked for a video of our house and yard. They also asked where I work and our address. I sent them vet records and also details of my family. I e-mailed to ask what the adoption fee was and never heard back, I commented on one of their posts asking about the fee and my comment was deleted. I commented again today and was blocked. I am concerned with them having our personal information and being blocked over asking what their adoption fee is. They have a lot of puppies and dogs in their care, and I am worried they are trying to scam people by this action. My husband and I are experienced adopters and most rescues list their adoption fees, however I have never been blocked and ignored for asking what their fee is.

Jim ****** was selling a boxer puppy for $600 or $700 delivery I chose to pick up and pay $500 more after my hundred dollar deposit and conveniently Jim was unavailable the next morning for me to pick up and started a shipping process which he told me that he paid the delivery charge at 5 o’clock when the puppy was supposed to arrive I was reached by a carrier called global express asking for $250 for a crate fee. I told them that I was not paying this that Jim was playing the delivery charge since he was unavailable for pick up, Jim is now ghosting me and will not answer my text or calls and it is now 730 and no puppy he is a scammer please warn people not to buy from him.

I found a puppy for adoption on Facebook. She asked for half down to reserve the puppy while we worked on transport. I paid half down via apple cash. She said she had a transport company that she worked with. The transport company does not have a webpage or a FB page. It did not have a USDA transport number. They asked for $500 for a refundable crate charge.

I responded to a post about a shih tzu puppy. Seller wanted $200 holding fee through cash app and other on line payments. I said I don't use them. She asked for a $200 Apple gift card. I said no. She then said how about a $100 gift card and I'll deliver the puppy. Then she said deal?

I said yes. I sent her the card and went to the place we agreed to meet at and she sent me another message that I wouldn't get the puppy until I sent her another $100 Apple gift card to secure his medical records. I said no and she said then NO PUPPY

Have a website , Facebook page , and transfer of ownership for puppies . Scammer needs your address email for certificate. Have you Zelle 250 deposit. When time to meet family emergency comes up fake baby in icu picture . New puppies born and promise to have dog shipped. Use shipping company which is fake and ask for additional $500 to ship COD and you can take payment from remaining balance you owe him .

Emailed back and forth, with the seller and the airport. About 100 emails. Paid for a pup that they wanted to fly due to distance. Needed more money to pay for a special crate. Sent that to the airport. And then the seller was to call me via FaceTime so I can see her before she got on a plane. Kept asking for call then seller sends me this store that her son was hit by a car on the way up to the airport. I finally figured it out and called them out regarding the scam. They have yet to answer me

The company was supposed to be shipping a puppy from a Breeder. But "forgot" to get the insurance payment form from the breeder so they needed 820.00 for shipping insurance. After I sent then they started wanted money for other things and then threatened me with charges of abandonment for the puppy.

EverHome Labradors posted on two Facebook groups advertising dogs that they are raising for sale, as well as specifically one of two dogs they raised which were subsequently returned back- Milo. The breeder requested that I complete an online form with questions about our home and routine, as well as answer some high level questions regarding my level of dog expertise. The breeder then requested 250 dollars sent via Zelle or Apple Pay to their accountant to hold the dog, with a total payment of 650 due at the release of the dog. They sent a contract and then later demanded a transfer of ownership to occur prior to the dog being released.
