My brother is a disabled Veteran and recently his service dog passed away. In his distraught state he attempted to purchase a dog similar to his own. This person named Thomas set up the sale and scammed him. The person Thomas had a thick accent over the phone (to use as an identification tool if he calls). Has now tried to make additional debits from my brothers bank account as well.

$300 was for cage and paperwork to fill out and file($100per bird)i paid and he was to deliver( he would pay for his gas to drive them up) because 2 days and nothing i gave incentive if delivered on day 3 when he gets to my house i will gift him $50. Day 4 and 5 fuzzy because i was suffering a stroke. Day 6 offered $100 if delivered on day 6. He demanded i give him the gift money first on a card even knowing i suffered a stroke he didnt care he wanted gift money first then he will deliver when he feels like it. So he is witholding/stealing my property and to extort $100 even though never delivered birds on day 6 so now its day 8 and he still demands i pay $100 the money i now need for taxi's. I recinded the offer since he never delivered on day 6 so keeping a steoke victims property and extorting $100 more money on a gift that he would recoeve if delivered

The photos of the puppies listed on the site are stolen from random users on Instagram and the breeders refuse to say were they are located.

Scammer is very aggressive about asking for money for the puppy without agreeing to show you the puppy, even through video call.

My daughter found 2 kittens on this website. It did seem legit because it was with photos, videos, a contract, etc… However, I did a google search of the kittens before I sent my money and found the kittens on instagram living with their actual owners and the kittens have grown up. Once I mentioned this they quit responding. Glad we realized it was a pet scam and didn't send money.

Senior Mother paid for a Teacup Maltese Puppy via Gift Card, yes I know it was a bad idea, but did not know about it until afterwards. This payment was made. Puppy was supposedly sent to International Deliveries Agency for delivery via a driver in a car. The delivery company asked for money via gift card for a delivery charge and then more money for a crate. Against my better judgement, I helped my Mother secure funds up to this point. Once these funds were received by delivery service, they came back and asked for a substantial amount more for insurance purposes. This is where we stopped. I am notifying everyone involved - ISP for delivery service, bank, credit card company, gift card company, FTC, and yes BBB. This type of fraud has to stop somehow. I know nothing will be done and no funds will be retrieved, but i hope the next Daughter who loves their Mother learns from my mistake and keeps her foot down when she says no to her mother for their own piece of mind.

I was looking to buy a Mainecoon kitten and found this breeder on line. I reached out to them and filled out the adoption process and I paid the deposit via apple pay and then Dec. 1st made the final payment again via apple pay. Once the day comes for delivery of the kitten, the delivery company then tells me there is all the all the surprise fees for the kitten to be delivered. I paid a $500 fee for a rental carrier and once I paid that one then came another fee for insurance, which was $1000. I did not pay that fee and started questioning things and I never received my kitten.

business/website claimed to sell puppies. I reached out via email, also spoke over the phone with the person to claimed to be selling dogs. After receiving pictures and information about the adoption process, I was

told I would be sent a contract and have the puppy shipped to me within 24 hours of payment. I made payment and received no answers through email or over the phone. After persistent calls to the phone number the person I then spoke to alleged he needed to speak to his father about the arrangement I paid for and would get back to me in two hours. This was 48 hours ago.
