I paid for a pet adoption through Facebook, and the group admin used a fake shipping company.

They also use "luckysmallpawrescue.com."

The shipping company communicated via [email protected] with website of https://cargoexpressagency.com/wp/.

Apple Pay account being used is 1 (312) 866-4815.

Paypal account being used is [email protected].

Zelle payment of $600 on 12/26/2024

FTC fraud Report Number 181761880 12/28/2024. The website has no address or any otehr contact info on it.

This is a website that is Sponsored on Google. No address is listed on their website but on Paypal they use this address: 2211 North First St. Glenwood Springs CO. This is a scam and must be stopped! They are claiming to be selling Teacup Yorkies and when you inquire they send you a questionnaire to fill out with your address, home environment, etc. They corresponded with me throughout the whole buying process and then once I paid they stopped communicating and never sent me the dog.

Reached out to the website about buying a puppy. They sent very lengthy in depth emails about the dog and delivering the dog to me. Sent half of the money and said I would wait for delivery to send the other half of the money. He sent me pictures of the dog and seemed very transparent. As the day went on I never received any other pictures or any confirmation about the delivery. Found later that afternoon the dog was sold on April 30 from a different breeder in California, @************** and he was taking pictures from there page saying he had dogs to sell.

This was a puppy scam! Little Paws Boston Terriers had a website that showed puppies available, prices, and other information pertaining to each puppy. I contacted them and chose Snicker. I was asked to pay half down through Venmo or others, which I ended up paying through Pay Pal. The woman requested I mark them as ‘friends and family’ so the money could transfer quickly, as the puppy was going to be flown to Pittsburgh on Tuesday. The $ was sent. They gave me information on the transport company … pacific Pet Transport. This company gave me a charge of $215 and an additional $299 for a crate upgrade. I paid this as well. They then emailed me that I owed an additional fee for ‘City Permits’ bc they wouldn’t release the dog at our airport unless I paid that. I called the airport and was told there were no such fees. The puppy was ‘in transit’ and was to be delivered in about 2 hours to my home. We realized this was a scam at this point and started asking questions, to which we were given the runaround by many. In the end, the woman emailing me stopped sending me replies and the man at the travel company told me that he did t know what his job was about, that he was to take the money, turn it into bitcoins and deposit in another account. Clearly stealing from those who wanted to pay for a puppy in good standing. DO NOT BUY FROM LITTLE PAWS BOSTON TERRIERS or use PACIFIC PET TRANSPORT for any carrying service.

I was trying to find a teacup chihuahua breeder and found a puppy named Karl. I was provided a buyer/seller contract and things were very sketchy. They claimed to be Dr/Mrs. Preston Grindstead; but the signature did not match the printed name. They asked to be paid through Chime or Apple Pay.

Website offered boxer puppies for sale. Asked for information regarding owning a puppy. Mentioned signing an agreement and then requested $750 for payment of the puppy and to schedule delivery of the puppy. Emailed with the seller multiple times, he sent photos and videos of the puppy as proof. Then on delivery day he sent over photos of the items he was including with the puppy for delivery. I received a call from 'West Shipping" and they were demanding that I pay an additional $2250 for a special crate. I told them that I was not paying the additional feel until I discussed with the seller. The man on the phone was very persistent and extremely rude and I had to tell them that he was acting unprofessionally and that I was hanging up. I tried contacting the seller Shams Delaney and have not received a response.

Scammer is selling the same list of dogs on multiple websites. Asks for 800 per dog and once you make the payment seller states it covers dog and shipping but continues to ask for more money for crate fees, insurance fees, and state fees. Threatens jail time for “pet abandonment” if you don’t pay the extra money.

Was scammed by a puppy breeder. I did research and found nothing alarming. After emails with the breeder for 3 days he has not returned emails asking for information and a video call. No answer on his phone

We ordered ESA letter, documents, ID cards, or pet tags that we purchased. They said it may take 10-14 business days, but it has been almost a month. We have emailed them, but have not received a satisfactory reply. We only get automated messages that a, “ticket has been created”. There is no business phone number for contact. They have sent links to login, to reset password, to access documentation and letters for ESA however, none of the links work. They send you on an endless loop of frustration. We have requested a refund. We have filed a fraudulent charge with our credit company after 3.5 weeks of waiting and being unable to effectively communicate with this said business. We have been unsuccessful in resolving this matter.

She had a post on Craigslist selling pure bred standard poodle puppies. I inquired and she called me and told me all about the puppies and told me if I send a deposit she would hold the puppy for me. She had her address listed in Dallas, TX, however she wouldn’t give me her exact address, which I thought was confusing because I wanted to come get the puppy. She told me she messed up the amount I was supposed to send and it was really $150 - so I sent her $50 more. The day before I was supposed to come pick up the puppy, she all of a sudden said she had to fly to Maryland for a emergency, but her grandma would be at the house for me to pick it up. I said great. Then, I told her - I still need the certification and vet records you promised me, and she kept beating around the bush. The day comes when I’m supposed to get the puppy, and she told me her grandma fell and had to go to the hospital, but her brother would come to her house and let me get the dog, IF I PAID $150 for his gas. I told her NO, and that I would just wait until she got home from her trip. She said that would work. Still never got any vet records or anything so I was becoming worried. Then, she said the day that she was supposed to fly home that the flight got cancelled and that she would get a rental car to drive home to deliver me the puppy, if I gave her $150 more

Dollars for gas. That’s when I lost it!!!!!!!! She ended up calling me cussing me out, and said she would send me the money in a few hours - more than 24hrs later I still don’t have the money and she told me she tried but it didn’t go through. Sent me screen shot and it was allllllllll a scam. Her husband also text me saying horrible things.

We were communicating with the person to purchase a corgi puppy. I asked to video chat with the person to see the puppy and he told me he was unable to do so. I ask a couple more questions and he was unable to show the puppy or the parents. He also got rude in the emails and stopped responding. He has a very beleivable website and I am sure he will be able to scam desperate people looking for a puppy out of their money. I was able to do a search on the property and find that it is a rental and any reputable breeder would be proud to show the puppy and meet the people they were adopting their puppy out to. I do not want to see anyone get scammed like I was almost. I lost my Corgi 3 weeks ago and I am in a position where they worked on my sympathy
