Asked to sign a sales agreement and send money via Zelle to a personal email instead of legitament email. In the sales agreement, it did ask for contact information and address.

This website advertises chow chows for sale. I ended up canceling my credit card. Please check them out. They are scammers.

The scammer is selling puppies. He messages you a survey to make sure you’re going to provide a good home. Then he sends you a contract to sign to ship the puppy. The scammer has broken English. I asked why he had two websites with identical content but different names and if he could show me a company Instagram or Facebook for proof but then he stopped responding.

Scammer advertised oriental shorthair kittens for $825, shipping included. Arrangements were made, and on the day delivery was to be made the "pet shipping company" contacted me asking for "$1500 refundable insurance". The pet transport co website/letterhead was very sloppy and clearly fake. When I questioned it, the seller insisted that this is normal. I refused, realizing I'd been scammed. I demanded a refund of the $825, the scammer refused, threatened me and dared me to report him to the authorities.

Scammer has a private Facebook group regarding selling of maltipoos, with around 12.6K members. There are 3 listed reputable breeders in the group. The group admin is Loli Daniela. There are also multiple Facebook posts with pictures vouching for Tracy Led, one of the breeders. It appears that the scammer is in total control of the group even the comments, multiple comments on how happy people are for getting puppies from Tracy Led. Tracy Led sent me a contract with address/ email and signature. She required $300 deposit plus $100 shipping fee. She accepts deposit through apple pay. She gave me a phone number to 1-706 699-1436. I sent money via apple pay convinced with how legit the seller appears, with all the videos and pictures she has been posting. She asked me to send a screen shot to confirm that it went through. On the day of the deliver I messaged her to confirm the delivery. She said that she has issues withdrawing the deposit and that she will need some money from the remaining balance so she can use it for gas. She said apple pay has messed her up. She asked if she could send me Zelle information. I told her that will wait until she can withdraw the money that I sent her and I have cash when the puppy arrives. I waited the next day and asked when she was planning to deliver the puppy but did not reply. I noticed I was suspended on the Facebook group for making any comments. Now I got blocked and can no longer search that group and Tracy Led.

March 2023: FB post was made using an account by someone I knew since 2017: Yvonne Williams. The post said yorkie pups were available for a $480 "rehoming" fee. Plus shipping if needed. Sent money via venmo to "Josie Kea" same face pic as my friend. Name match didn't ring bells bc my FB and venmo names do not match. Sent additional $200 for shots and shipping. After about a week of back and forth, sent $150 for shipping insurance which was supposed to be included. Sent payment to "Isabel Quiller" for that. I had a feeling this was a scam, but wanted to belive in what appeared to be an acquaintance. I made payments on behalf of family that wanted 2 puppies. Their phone#s and street addressed were sent as well as my venmo account used for this transaction. Once money was sent, scammer blocked me and of course NO PUPPIES WERE SENT. I've reported this to venmo and FB, but they can't help. There are duplicate FB posts with the same exact phrasing on other dead accounts. I will file a police and FBI report, so hopefully an IP address can be tracked. I will also try to dispute the withdrawals from my bank account and place credit locks for my family members. This sucks. I know ScamPulse.com can't do anything.

At first very pleasant, then every time the pup was to be shipped they came up with a new expense. Was supposed to be $750.00 total. Got the wife to fall in love with the pics!!!!! Lot of heartbreak!!

I initially google searched “German shepherd breeders” and this website initially looked promising. As I asked more questions to verify the legitimacy of the breeder, the respondent was not cooperative with showing the dog or giving information about the puppies and their medical records. After doing some research we saw this is a big red flag about dog breeding scams. He also said his daughter takes care of all the dogs and wouldn’t provide veterinary information.

On 2/24/23 my girlfriend was in the process of purchasing french bulldog she intially gave the individual $300, then they asked for another $140, then another $200. We were told that the puppy should be delivered later that day then, she receives an email stating that she needs to pay another $500 for a shipping container to deliver the puppy, she informed the person that she wanted her money back, the person told her that she would get the $500 back once the dog was delivered then the individual stated that he would pay the shipping fee, after that the service that was to deliver the dog sent her a paper stating that the shipping fee was actually $1000 so, we were clearly convinced that we were scammed. she has all the information including all the text messages with the individual, the contract that he sent stating that she's entitled to a refund. ** ************ **** ** ***** ******** *** *** ******* ****** ** *************

I contacted a website to purchase two kittens. The gentleman then called me and we discussed the kittens and shipping was included from New York to Kansas City. I was to give him $950 and then he would give me the shipping information and then I would pay the balance of $650. I did all these things and then was told that a special crate was needed to be rented to send the kittens. And the rental fee was $2,550. This of course was refundable after the kittens were delivered. I realized that this was a scam I told him that if he had used this company a lot before he should have known that and that they should work with him and he will get his money back. He asked for me to give him 24 hours to get it straightened out and I never heard from him again. I have no kittens and he has $1,600 of my money
