Scarf and Tail

Just received an Insta DM from the company. Luckily I’m a real cynic & always check things out. I have a pup who, yes I’m biased, is cute and I can see how easy it could be to be flattered that your pup is ‘so special’ that it could be an ambassador. In reality, I wouldn’t be surprised if nearly every pup owner with an Insta account was targeted. Thank you all for sharing your experiences. It will help the rest of us

They scam you into paying for shipping on a “free” order to be a brand ambassador. That’s how they make their money is on the shipping. Do not fall for it! They DM you saying they’re looking for cute pups to model their bandanas then make you cover the shipping cost.

Received the same message - lucky I found this website and saw the reports here . Thanks all for reporting!

Thank you guys for sharing your stories, I almost fell victim to this scam. They messaged my account with those same messages.

I got scammed and used my moms PayPal and lost $24 something and have no way to get it back I guess, so please do not fall victim to this scam and just ignore them unlike I did cause now I have to find a way to get my moms money back to her!

I also received a DM on instagram from @christine.lee.long saying she was part of a pup brand brand called @scarfand tail.co and that we would love to work with you. So glad that I Googled this before being scammed by this person and this company in California.

Same story as the others: they reach out and offer free merchandise but you pay shipping and handling. You also are told you can select up to 7 items, but since you pay more for each item, you’re just buying them. The items take forever to get to you (if they arrive at all) and are cheaply made. They imply they are a local company based out of California but all of their items come from China. Terrible experience.

They send msg like this - Hello! I hope you are having a great day! Thank you for the follow. ?
I work with a dog brand called @scarfandtail.co, & we would love the opportunity to work with you.?‍ We would love to hook you up with some complimentary dog merch - our treat! If you are keen, send a message to @scarfandtail.co and they'll be happy to help!?
xoxo!?

This is a brand ambassador scam site. Typically, they will contact Instagram users and ask them to become a brand ambassador; they will offer "free" products where the user only has to pay shipping charges.

The products, however, are extremely cheap goods from AliExpress, which are listed on the Scarf and Tail website at more than 1000% markup to give the illusion of exclusivity and quality. (See here for the products at their original price: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33006015544.html) The fake shipping charges go straight into the scammers' pockets.

They contacted me for promotion and that I get not 3 as usual but 7 scarfs! And when I get the product I need to write them so I can get the discount code if some of my followers or friends order on it. Well, I paid 0 $ and 45-50€ for shipment. So It is new age scam to go on starting businesses and scam them :( Sad, sad af

Type of a scam Online Purchase

Scarf and Tail preys on Instagram users who have accounts for their pets by inviting them to be brand ambassadors. They give you a coupon code for free merchandise but they charge you shipping and handling. When I reached out to customer service, I realized it was a phishing scam and contacted my credit card company. Needless to say, the merchandise never arrived.
