I contacted https://familycavaliers.wixsite.com/home in search of a King Charles Cavalier puppy. This website is offering registered dogs for sale at a reduced cost compared to "market value" in the nearby state. "Edward Steven" responded to my inquiry with the email address provided. He stated they were a family with dogs and did not want to sell for profit. He informed me they can deliver the dog for an additional fee and pick up on Sunday only. Once a puppy was selected, I offered to pay a down payment. He sent me bank name, acct number and routing info for their bank. "Edward" stated he is located in Conway County, Arkansas however all of the bank information goes to a bank located in New York, NY. As sending money to someone whom I have never met for a dog in Arkansas to a bank in New York, was concerning, I requested a photo ID and/or the AKC ID and/or breeder ID information. Subsequently, "Edward" turned the deal down and stated he would not provide any of this information as I was untrusting of him. At best, there are too many red flags for this website to continue to operate as they are attempting to scam people out of deposits on reduced cost Cavalier puppies and never actually provide any ID or proof legitimacy.

I agreed to by a puppy from them. They said $600 plus $200 for shipping. I signed a purchase agreement that stated "If the sale doesn't go through for whatever reason they would refund 90% of the $800. Their claimed business partner "Animal Pet Relocation" [email protected] decided to withhold the puppy until we paid $1500 more dollars. They requested the money paid through ZELLE. at either of the following email addresses: [email protected] or [email protected].

The animal pet relocation company requested the extra $1500 through ZELLE at [email protected]

We have been communicating with a dachsund breeder in Georgia through Facebook and email about adopting a puppy; a litter recently has become available and we are very concerned that this could be a scam that should be looked into; they have not provided any phone information and seem to be avoiding requests to meet the puppies in person, they are also asking for blind deposits of $500 via Venmo to ‘reserve’ a puppy in a lottery style process, but they are not requesting applications which seems strange. Their Facebook page is - https://www.facebook.com/brandenburgbeenies?mibextid=LQQJ4d

"Heather Finney" said they had Siberian Huskies for sale $700, but I had to pay $300 to hold the puppy. Then I had to pay insurance on the puppy which would be refunded back to us 3 days after receiving the puppy. But then I was told I had to pay the balance - the remaining money. We were to meet halfway for the pick up. Until that day came and there was supposedly a family emergency. They said they will deliver our dog instead, only to find out we’re going to have to fly the puppy one state over. We had to pay $800 for a traveling crate which we were told was just to rent and that we would get our money back. We had to pay $90 for a vaccine to fly and then they wanted $2,000 for insurance and $530 for an overnight fee. We told them to pay for the overnight fee and insurance and then never heard a word.

There is an ad listed on facebook that she was given away 8 yorkies puppies. I text her and she stated she had four left. She stated that rehoming fee is $200.00 and pictures of the puppies that was available. I could not pay when I text to find out the information about the puppies but we agrred when I get paid today on 11/18/2022 to contact her and she would on a female pup for me. I contact her today, and she stated it is $200 and I could send her $100 for reserving the puppy. I sent her $100 via zelle to [email protected] own by Nicole Devico. Sent the confirmation that I sent the payment. Then Mrs. McCray stated that I need to send $120.00 now for paperwork which was not mentioned in the beginning. I stated to her no I am not sending you anymore money because you were not honest with me. I asked for my money back and she refused to send it back to me. Now she claimed she is legit, but she will not refund my money. She had asked for my zelle history and I stated that I will not send her my zelle history. She continues to stress that I need to send $129 for paperwork and uploaded the paperwork American Kennel. I do think this is a con because if I kept sending her money, I would never receive my puppy that I wanted. I will try to upload the entire conversation that we had. i have tried to upload the pertinent information unable to copy everything but if you want me to come in and discuss this some more I would be happy to speak with you.

I just sent you how the conversation was going and where she states that I have to send $120. Will you be able to help me with this problem? Thank you, ******* ******* ********

Yorkie World.com (Anna) advertised beautiful Yorkies for sale on the internet. I selected a pup and she was going to ship the puppy to me. The only contact with her was e-mail or text. NO PHONE ! After several communications, I had a few questions when it came to the payment. She gave me phone #405-454-7778 in Oklahoma and suggested I speak to her husband. When I called, we had a very bad connection. A man answered with a heavy island accent. I asked if he spoke Spanish and he said no. So, I asked where he was from, he answered German. I couldn't understand him and suggested his wife (Anna) call me when she came in from work. She never called me. No return phone calls ever during our communication . I checked with ScamPulse.com and found a previous complaint about them scamming. I was so relieved that I didn't send them money. I continued searching for a pup and found Yorkie World had another website under the same name but had a different phone number 717-539-7096 in Pennsylvania. I hope this information will help others. BEWARE AND ASK QUESTIONS.

My parents contacted the scammer using the website form to buy a beagle puppy. The transaction was made for $800 through Zelle and the beagle was supposed to be shipped 11/18/22 through fast https://www.fastlineairrelocation.com/ (which is also a scam). When the puppy was supposed to be shipped, they had an issue with shipping that required an additional $650 to be paid before it could be shipped. Luckily, I was able to stop my parents from paying that. The website is also a duplicate of another website https://karlsbeaglepuppies.com/ using same pictures, names, ages, etc.

I found the website online and decided to get a puppy through the website. The website looked very real to me. I was messaging through text and my email and ask the business owner to call me. I even spoke with the person and he assured me that this was real, and he was going to send me the puppy from Florida to Tucson via airplane. I was supposed to pay half upfront for the puppy which was $400. I sent it through Zelle which came out of my bank account immediately. I was supposed to give the other half when the puppy arrived here to Tucson. An hour or so after I gave him the money I started getting messages that he wanted the other half because there was a problem with the flight crate the dog was supposed to come in. I told the man we had a deal and I was not going to give any more of the money upfront. At this point I realized it was a scam and started asking him if it was a scam and then he never message back so I am out the $400 and I reached out to my bank to let them know what happened and they are working on a claim for me .

I was looking for a pug puppy. I came across cute puppies near me small breeds on Facebook. I asked about a pup and the seller contacted me right away. The seller said I needed to pay for half the pup now and the rest when the pup was delivered. They told me I had to pay 300 which I did through Zelle. 500 for the transfer of ownership papers. Shortly after I got a tracking number from blue waves logistics saying that I needed to pay 550 for a special crate. Then they needed 625 for a refund document because some of these charges were 95% refundable. My funds would refunded in the form of cash. Then they called said the pup needed to vet checked and needed to have a vaccine 920. That’s when I said I don’t have any more money to give. I’m canceling. I had to pay 190 to cancel and another 220 to change the delivery form.Saturday they told me I needed to 500 for reversal of ownership papers and 241 for feed and care of puppy. I all of these fees except the 920. Today the supervisor using phone number(223)308-9559. Said that the reason why I couldn’t reach the seller and they couldn’t is because the puppy was stolen and I have to pay 8,000.00 so I don’t go to prison.

This was a scam for a puppy that was available after another person supposedly cancelled. The seller would not facetime, used a site ending in .site which I have read is a red flag, used zelle, when the payment said pending (they asked for a screen shot) they insisted we call the bank to have them release the funds immediately. They have stopped replying will not return the money.

I reached out to the company in hopes to purchase a mini goldendoodle for my family. I had to complete an on-line application. Once selected they included detailed information (breed/pictures/video) of the puppy. Provided information on supplies needed and food that the puppy was currently eating. They were asking half off on the puppies since a new litter was about to be born and him (David Athenas) & his wife worked full time. I paid a total of $1,000 for the puppy and transport. Once I paid this fee the seller sent me a text indicating the puppy was at the courier service (Air Compentence Transportation Logistics). The courier service sent me a cargo tracking email (https://actransportlogistins.com/cargo-tracking/) where they gave me a tracking # for my puppy. An hour later I received an email and call from this courier service indicating the crate that was dropped off with the puppy was non-compliant and a $900 depsoit will need to be placed by "Zelle" to transport the puppy. They said this fee would be 100% refundable upon delivery of the puppy. I immediately contacted the seller regarding my concerns but he only replied by text. I said it was his responsiblity to get this cleared up since it was part of my contract. He said I would need to contact the courier service and get it handled. After back and forth through emails to the seller and calls from the courier service I realized this was a scam. These scammers need to be stopped and these websites need to be shut down immediately.

Courier service email is: [email protected] (719) 259-3939 website: https://actransportlogistins.com/

The individual who claimes to be James gives you multiple account to Venmo, Zelle or google pay money non of which have past transactions. The individual is extremely rude and insults you in order for you to feel pressured to make a purchase. Buyers need to be aware.
