We searched online for Yorkshire Terrier Puppies. Jayson Pupplies Inc sent us photos of puppies for sale and Puppy Reservation form. We sent a down payment of $300 on a $800 dog. We were to pick up the doge in Pittsburgh PA on 5-22-2023. I texted seller to confirm time and address and he said because he had so many bookings for the weekend we would need to send $200 more to get a pickup time confirmed. I said I would have the balance cash $500 at time of pickup but would not send any additional money. I have called him 3 times and texted numerous time for confirmation but no response.

I thought they were legitimn. ate dog groomers selling a border collie. So I reached out. They gave me a ton of information. Plus cost of puppy $800 plus transportation $200. I didn't reply to the email. Then a day later I received an email from them saying that he and his wife think i am the perfect candidate and that I just need to send $200 for transportation. I thought there was a mistake so I asked for their number. He gave a number. I didn't call. But I decided to look further into their business and found out that they are a scam.

I was looking to buy a mini schnauzer puppy. They showed me photos but would not FaceTime me or show me a video. They didn’t give their names or even answer the phone number. They also contacted me via email at weird hours.

I asked them to email me a video and they said they don’t do that. Again, I asked their name as I could not read it on the contract they sent & they failed to give it. I told them I think they are scammers & never heard back.

I found a group on Facebook called Yorkshire Puppies for Rehoming run by a man named Mk Daniel Thompson. I contacted multiple other people in the group to confirm it was legitimate and they said it was and they have good experiences/reassured me it wasn't a scam. I sent him $500 through Zelle on 2/21/23 and he said someone would drive the dog to me on 2/23/23. He said I was sending the money to the owner of the rescue, a man named Kevin Riley associated with TMJ Logistics who's email is [email protected]

On 2/22/23 Mk Daniel messaged me on Facebook and said the driver's mom had a heart attack and couldn't make the drive so I became concerned and asked for my money back. He apologized profusely and offered to have the dog sent through a delivery service who then asked me for $1,500 to release the dog. He apologized again, said he didn't know they would do that (the delivery service was obviously another scam of his) and convinced me to board a plane to pick up the dog only to suddenly cut off all communication. I am elderly and this man was very convincing, sent me pictures and videos of the dog and I tried to confirm it wasn't a scam before I sent the money. The people in the group I contacted previously cut off communication as well and I am unable to get my money back or contact anyone who can help me. This group needs to be shut down as there are almost 50,000 members. I have created multiple Facebook accounts trying to get in contact with him or the group and they are sophisticated enough to be able to block everything.

I was and still am looking for a Labrador Retriever puppy. Facebook has multiple groups advertising Lab puppies. I contacted the group, Labrador Retriever Puppies For Adoption. I received a message, via Messenger, from someone by the name of Monica Pearson. I was asked multiple questions by Monica regarding puppies and my past pets. Made an appointment to choose and purchase a pup. Monica requested a down payment through Zelle or Paypal. I told her online payment wasn't a good idea and I was given a gift card option. I purchased a gift card, added $300 to it and took a photo of the card. I questioned Monica whether or not this was some type of scam and she sent multiple testimonials through Messenger. Photo was sent to Monica and I received the address where to pick up the pup. The address was real, but there was no Monica, The address was 1433 Abers Creek Rd. Pittsburgh, PA 15239.

I have all the Messenger correspondence still on my phone. If I was dumb enough to fall for this scam I do not deserve my $300 back. However, I see this scam is still taking place on META and I would like to prevent anyone else from getting screwed. The name on this group now appears to be Rita Lawson and not Monica Pearson.

DO NOT CONTACT THIS WEBSITE! From the start, the website is very sketchy, they have no contact information and I had to ask for their name and number over email. They refused to accept me sending money via PayPal as a business(so my money is protected) and INSISTED I send it as friends and family. They refunded my money because I sent it as a business and refused to accept it any other way. Even went as far to suggest using a visa gift card. Claimed they tried working with a way I felt comfortable with, but they were indeed not making me comfortable. I’m glad my money was rejected because this is a complete scam. And kept avoiding my questions. Their PayPal info did not match their name they gave me either and tried having me send it to an email that would convert to British pounds.

I went on the website https://muglestonpitbullfarm.com/ to find a pit bull puppy. They told me I had to put a down payment on the dog to reserve it , I then put $350 at first and then this week I paid $500 for the rest of the dog . I was then told I had to pay a $60 fee for them holding onto her for 2 weeks , for food and taking care of her . Then they told me I wasn’t allowed to drive and get her they said she had to be shipped and I was told that wouldn’t cost me anything at all . I then get told the dog is in the state of Connecticut . They sent me a tracking number that said she was shipped . I then get a call the next day from a guy in Oklahoma saying the dog is at the airport and couldn’t be shipped out because it cost $450 for the dog to be insured and it would be 100% refundable once she arrived at my house . And then today I was told I had to pay another $200 for the delivery service drop her off , I never received her . Below is the shipping information, I have many more screen shots and videos as proof of them scamming . The name of the pet service is MRW pet service. Mugleston pit bull had me pay them first threw Apple Pay for the $350 , and then I had to use Zelle threw Union savings bank . MRW pet service I had to pay them threw Zelle , and then a American Express visa gift card . And again the MRW pet service website is http://mrwpetservice.com/

I found the website and emailed them about a cat they had for sale.

Originally, they texted me and told me to check my emails that I got a video and information about the adoption of this cat. They said since they had to ship the cat it would be $700 all together. Once they got my payment they never gave me a confirmation number and I did not receive a cat

They are probably not in OKC selling Teacup poodles but because they ask where you are from first when feeling out the form they then offer to deliver to your doorstep for $150 pretending they live near by but not close enough that you can go to them…I’m in Texas and offered to go to them and they said no which I then realized it was a scam and they would not FaceTime with the puppy

buy a puppy, they will ship it to you... once you pay then they need a special crate. The crate you need is not in stock for 500 so you need to pay 1000, then the puppy gets to a state that needs a permit not for an additional 1500.00 I called the airlines and that where it stopped for me. But if not it would keep going for an additional monies for this and that. and they tell you if you don't pay the nanny is 85.00 a day additional.

I attempted to purchase a puppy i saw on line. I initially sent them 950.00 which covered the cost of the puppy and the transportation to my home. I was contacted several times demanding money for…a temperature controlled crate, then more money for microchipping and vaccinating the puppy, then another demand for a city permit. Unfortunately i paid for everything but the city permit. That’s what alerted me … why a city permit. So i stopped all contact with these people. Unfortunately all of the money sent was Amex gift cards.

We needed an emotional support puppy and he said he needed a deposit of $200 and he was going to drive the puppy to us that Sunday and get the rest of the payment when he arrived. My husband zelled $200 to the email address he gave which was [email protected] this email may have been the second time he asked for money because the day before he was to bring the puppy he messaged again saying he needed the rest of the money before he left. We called him out on him going back on his word but in the end my husband agreed to send $150 more for him to make the trip. Sunday morning right before 9am I messaged him to see what time he was leaving and would be here and he said he was leaving soon. We didn’t hear from him again. No puppy no refund. I have some of the conversation.

March 1, 2023 I was going. Google searching dog breeders for a minute schnauzers for my children because we lost our loved family pet to cancer last year. Ready to move on and get a new family pet we came across

https://www.coolschnauzershome.com

On the site I made a request for an 11 week old puppy by the name of Pipper. After texting and emails for two days we decided to purchase pipper as a family pet. Maimouma Blade asked that I Zelle her the money in the amount of 910..00 USD. Zelle didn’t work so she requested that I use only Vanilla Visa. I made the purchase and sent photos of the cards back and front in order for her to take the puppy off the website and for me to secure the bill of purchase for the puppy. I sent 1 gift card in the amount of 500.00 USD and a second for 410. USD. Shortly after that I received a fake copy of a bill of purchase with the 2025 SE 44th Street address and a email address for shipping the puppy that came at a refundable charge of 1200.00 US

The company name was Live Pet Shuttle LIVE PET SHUTTLE 1122 5th St, Miami Beach, FL 33139 (321) 701-5975 [email protected] and www.livepetshuttle.com With a tracking number for the puppy as LPS2236CA. The contact person was listed as William Joseph Woodburn Manager. This is when he requested the 1200.00 USD for the refundable pet insurance fee. I sent that as well to 321-701-5975 to a Ashlyn. Communication ended and I became worried because I had not heard back from the breeder or the pet shipping company. With some researching of my own. I have learned that the Cool Schnauzers Home web site and the Live Pet Shuttle was the same person just using different names, phone numbers, websites, and locations to make the scale look legitimate.

I also came across another victim DadBallz

Q

We were interested in purchasing a puppy from a place in Florida. They linked us up with this company for the travel. $1200 for refundable insurance which would be refunded as soon as we received the puppy. When you talked to the person, you could hear all kinds of cell phones ringing in the background and only 1 agent able to help people. The whole thing stunk of a scam.

When I asked the person's name, he told me it was Simon Miller. Not a chance. They only collect payment through Apple Pay, Google Pay and Zelle. I asked them so send the info for payment and it was a very odd Yahoo email address and the person listed was not Simon Miller. Asked them what airline they use and he said Delta. Knew it was a scam. The website seems light. This was filed on the website people finder. Using the phone numbers and addresses that the scanners provided.

I have been scammed for 2,200. Dollars, but that is not why am reporting this online crime they are a husband and wife team that both have degrees in Computer Science, Digital Marketing and program management. They are a threat to our country, communities and society and should be stopped and convicted as soon as possible. Please look into whom I believe to be the true criminals Aissatou Blade and her husband Alpha Blade many different names but are all connected and come back to these two people. Thank you for your time and the good work that you do. Please help remove both websites from google.

My husband and I were looking to adopt a puppy. I started following a cockapoo adoption and rehoming Facebook page where I met the “admin” of the group named Tarpley Constance. She reported herself to be a breeder of cockapoo puppies located in Nashville, TN. I spoke with her for a long while regarding the process via Facebook. She sent pictures of the puppies to me and I reserved one. I sent her a payment for $500 through Zelle. I drove 2.5 hours to pick the puppy up. The morning before I left she texted me verifying I was coming. When I got to the location, it was a vacant house. She then blocked me from the Facebook group and blocked my number.
