Country: United States
Total money lost: $285
Type of a scam: Online Purchase

He was very attentive in helping me get payment made. He tried PayPal first but only for friends and family and it didn’t work but then he had me use Zelle which worked. He said he would contact me when cashier received my money. I contacted him next morning to let him know it went through my account and he has not been in contact with me since.

Doing my diligence

Hi all, thanks to everyone’s posts I reached out to them because they claim to have a rare reptile. I asked for photos, which they sent. Then I asked them to write my email on a piece of paper and take a pic with my email next to lizard. They said, once the payment is complete and confirm we will do this. These guys must think people are stupid … the point of asking for the photo with my email is to confirm they do in fact have the reptile for sale. See attached screenshot

SCAM!!!!

Biggest scam site ever do not purchase from here! Daughter tried to buy a blue tongue skink and PayPal wouldn't go through so a women said to send her the money directly through zelle. Received a shipping confirmation and a call from shipping company saying she had to pay an extra $350.00 for insurance for skink. She refused and realized it was a scam. Tried to request money back from zelle and it was declined... Do NOT PURCHASE from this site. Other testimonials that are positive are fake!

Thank God my bank knows better

I figured there was something sketch when the website didn’t take payment when I ordered. When I tried to pay, my app told me there was a fraud alert and my bank refused to pay. They then told me to go get a gift card to pay with.

They've changed their fake shipping company

They are now using a false website named https://emiratespettravel.com/

Somehow, shipping from CA to NC took an hour, as the website listed pickup time from the company at 1000 and it arrived at NC at 1100, where they 'discovered' that the purchased turtle didn't have veterinarian quarantine papers and would need to be quarantined for 30 days, but I could bypass this by getting quarantine papers and sending them along with a delivery promise fee of $550 which would supposedly be refunded upon delivery of the turtle, which would be released immediately upon receipt of the money.

Obvious scam. I am working with my bank to dispute the charges once the original purchase posts.

Country: United States
Type of a scam: Online Purchase
Initial means of contact: Website

They describe themselves as turtle breeders with decades of experience, but don't really know what a turtle is. They pretend to be paid with Paypal using the friends function, so you can't request your money back when you agree that you have been scammed (yes I was a jerk I already know). They use another scam site, universalpettransport.com, to pretend to ship, but from there they keep asking for more money with indecent excuses, (insurance, various licenses, quarantine, etc ...) STAY AWAY!

I'm guessing there's probably some misunderstanding here, my wife bought a baby panther designer chameleon from them though it arrived 3 days late but we did got it and in good health too.
